R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
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.

I miss it because winning BR battles is not connection based like it is in Halo 3. Hitscan is a great mechanic.

I stopped reading right here.

1. People still think the H2 BR wasn't connection based
2. People still think the H2 BR was balanced
3. People still think hitscan makes bad connections better. Just look at the Reach DMR, host of a SWAT game is often the winner. Coincidence?



I miss it because it was really, really fun and easy to use. The ability to abuse glitches which weren't meant to be there also made it more fun since honest players would always lose.

It wasnt honest players that lost, it was those who did not know about the tricks ;)

I miss it big time. Loved the Halo 2 BR.

Host had a much bigger advantage in Halo 3 in my opinion. Projectile BR in online play is not good.

There's leading your shots as a gameplay mechanic, then there is leading your shots for lag. Halo 3's BR was a lot more inconsistent.

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.

I miss the BR from the xbox version of Halo 2. Using the BR on Halo 2 Vista just doesn't feel right, doesn't have that smooth balance the old BR had on the xbox version.

Reach is a really bad example. Why? because the DMR has bloom, therefor the DMR is random even with hitscan. The Halo 2 BR is more balanced than the CE pistol, halo 3 BR, and Reach DMR. It's not OP like CE pistol, its not "who has better connections wins" like Halo 3 BR, and its not unfairly random like the DMR.

Yeah, i loved the br in halo 2. but connection and host had everything to do with it.

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

No the BR in halo 3 took more skill.


O NO IT DIDN'T! ONLY TEH HOZT WON!!

No really, it did. You had to lead your shots like in Halo PC, which meant you had to have skill to play it.

Until you realized that your shots don't register because they have a better connection. Only on LAN does the Halo 3 BR take real skill.
