Subject: Why Halo 2 Is Still my Favorite Halo

Halo 2 had something that currently Halo reach lacks. The best part about halo 2 was the in depth story behind it. You fought on Earth and Delta Halo and High Charity. You saw things from two prospectives the Covenant (Arbiter) and Humans (John). Halo Reach lacks that depth you can only see one sided, the story was ok but it seemed rushed. There was no real mystery as to how it would end seeing as you knew the ending already. Halo reach even took out the key component to any halo, THE FLOOD!!! Gone nothing the thing that took halo from an average shooter to a dark, scary, suspenseful, save yourself kind of game. This is why I continue to still play halo 2 even after these years Halo 2 is perfect.

Because it took what made Halo: CE good and built upon it, and also added XBox LIVE.

Halo: Reach is nothing compared to Halo 2.

Halo 2 for Life!

8 vs. 8 that was fun even with lag. I dont think other games can say that i.e. all other halo's. Also I think it was the first game to have super bounces and other button combo's only found in fighters were now in FPS games. It was the best MP game all time!

"No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great—Duty First!" - The fighting first's motto.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

I prefer Halo Reach. It's a lot less bulky, the map design is better, and the hit boxes are more legit. The flood were not even released until the events in C.E. Halo 2 kinda took C.E. and ruined everything. They made a game for noobs who couldn't kill anyone in Halo C.E.

I respect your opinion. But truly, no one cares about Reach nor wants to talk about it. So, please lets keep it that way, we are trying to give Halo 2 a positive aura not a negative one. If you would kindly take your Halo Reach comments to the Halo Reach forum that would be much appreciated thank you.

yep, i personally think halo 2 is by far the best halo inj terms of the storyline. If the graphics were improved, it would be a really really good game

The OP at the very beginning said Halo 2 was better than reach,if a person likes reach more then why should he not post his differing opinion? I understand that this is the halo 2 forums,but you guy's should stop trying to shoo away anyone with a different opinion then you do. This forum seems to only give praise to Halo 2 and not even acknowledge its problems. Recognizing a games problems is very crucial to a fanbase,this is void on B.net.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Welcome to the H2 forum. Where kids will declare you the worst person in the world if you don't mindlessly worship Halo 2.

I've been around since on the forums in 2007,when I come back to the Halo 2 forums what do I find?

The forum died when H2 was shut down. Now it's only people like TottallyMassive, where they will be praising H2 in every thread, and people who realize it wasn't godlike. The latter usually get accused of being trolls by the first group, and it's lulzy.

But really, people here fail to see the flaws in it.

List of rubbish halo 3 maps.

Construct
Cold Storage
Foundry

Id say the flaws are what made the game really good. BXR's Double shot difficult to pull off but made for good montages.

The one aspect of halo 2 i miss is sniping. Quick scopes and how fast the sniper felt are things i see lost in halo 3. IT is aswell the game that started my xbl careear and is one thing i had common ground with friends.

It will always hold a special place in my gaming history as my fave

  • 04.15.2011 6:58 PM PDT

What you see with me is what you get. I would rather be hated for what I am than loved for something that I'm not.

I am who I am, not who you want me to be. Your approval isn't needed and your opinion isn't required or desired.

The best Halo ever.

I'll never understand why Jacob insists on staying in the H2 Forum if he hates the game.

If you love CE so much, just stay in that forum.

If you don't like Halo 2, don't like the people in the H2 Forum, and the people in the H2 Forum don't like you, why continue to stay?

The only reason TO stay, is to admit that you are a Troll.

No, the problem is you; you come to almost every single thread in this forum to tell people that you thought Halo 2 was a bad game. It's obvious you don't like it, and now you're trying to make it obvious we don't like you.

Just leave if you can't contribute...

They should have had a Covie Campaign in Reach. Would have been a good way to add the Arbiter(Before he became Arbiter of course)

i want halo 2 back with only grapic update's AND NOT reach style no good old h2 style update's...

  • 04.27.2011 3:22 PM PDT

If you armour lock you're probably retarded don't you know you're just delaying the inevitable?

I actually prefer Halo CE, 2 & 3 to Reach, don't getme wrong it really does set the scene in the Halo universe it's just you find do many noobs online mindlessly spamming armour lock at every chance they get.

  • 04.27.2011 4:08 PM PDT

Well, here's a link to MS's Waypoint forum. You must be signed-in to look at the forums. Remember, 343 is part of MS.

Anyway, there's a section where they ask for input on the next Halo so people from H2 should post their thoughts (I did). You could talk about the next halo and at the same time speak your mind on having H2 put on the Marketplace (MP of course).

It's our chance to be heard by the right people, at the least.

My old Halo 2 account is Devil brothers

I'd say it's my favorite Halo game, probably due to the fact it was the first online FPS I had played. Everything was so unique and new I could play for hours on end and it wouldn't get boring.

The custom games also made it a firm favourite. It never got old playing tower of power or zombies on foundation.
