If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

The one thing that is always on my mind when comparing Halo 2 and Halo 3 is the brute shot. In Halo 2, the explosives could bounce around corners and walls while in Halo 3 they only went staight forward and exploded on contact. In truth, I prefered Halo 2's brute shot because of how useful the bounce was.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Flipping Warthogs on Coag was a treat.

Yup, I liked the Bruteshot.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Yeah I liked the bruteshot from Halo 2, was an all around weapon. It was perfect for any situation, if you knew how to use it well.

I think its best use was on Elongation, with the very narrow halls and corners. Though I still hate Elongation.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

The thing had a nasty melee as well. It was definitely one of my favorite weapons to use.

I never had the opportunity to play Halo 2 over Xbox Live, however, I did enjoy using it during the campaign.

I was not upset at the change between the Halo 2 and the Halo 3 Brute Shots. I just thought it was an interesting variation.

Halo 2's brute shot was more useless then a pile of old AOL cds.

Don't feed the troll, just ignore him.

I always loved the Brute Shot.

  • 04.09.2011 9:10 PM PDT

You can fight and all of you will die, or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die.

The Brute Shot was lovely. I liked how different weapons had different melee strengths, for example the Brute Shot's blade actually hurt people :P

When shots bounce, they end up not doing crap to the person you shot. There's a reason why a lot more people use the brute shot in H3, because it isn't useless.

But the Brute Shot in H2 was still a 1 hit kill if it hit them directly as long as they do not have over shield. In Halo 3, it can take 2-3 direct hits to kill someone with normal shields.

Troy. Meteor showers. Nuff said.

Also to scizzor: You have to hit them directly. Then it does ALOOTTTTT of damage.

Does anybody remember the Rumble Training playlist? Yes, there was a time in Halo 2 where we had Rumble Brute Shots in FFA.

Shooting the brute shot straight up in the air on headlong then running across to safety b4 they all came down OR shooting them across coag seing if u would get a kill

Yes, but the nade launcher in reach has the same bounce mechanic. And the concussion rifle is the replacement for the brute shot.

yeah, they really removed a dimmension of gameplay when they made it splode on contact for 3.

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

It honestly took me a long time to realize the Halo 3 Brute Shot didn't bounce at all. I liked it much better in Halo 2 where it was more like a power weapon.

I never used it unless I was playing Troy. I like the newer version, better. But I do miss the arching.

  • 04.11.2011 3:40 AM PDT

Yea, It really felt like a "Brute" shot.

I really liked the Halo 2 Brute shot especially now that we have the GL and the concussion rifle. H2 Brute Shot fits right in between those two weapons and carves out its own niche.
