Everyone up at the top ranks were cheaters. I couldn't play after I hit the moon rank. I don't know if the games servers were bad or if they didn't have a banhammer, but cheating pissed me off. Anyone else have trouble ranking in the 40s?

Halo 2 for Life!

Let the cheaters cheat each other in ranked matches. I'll play unranked and be free of them(most of the time).

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.

Just out of curiosity, how many times did Bungie reset our old Halo 2 ranks back to 1 over the years. Sorta wish they had done some resetting of ranks on Halo 3 back in the day.

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!

The first reset was good. It was hard to even get past the 20's. And it was with the fixed BR/grenade change.

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.

twice. One in 2005 for the hitscan BR title update and a second time in 2007 when Blastacular map pack was put into matchmaking. Personaly, I think the second reset was pointless and not needed.

It was interesting. The Halo 2 ranking to me was much better than H3 for sure.

You actually knew where you stood from the progression bar for each ranked playlist via bungie.net. You were not ranked locked in Halo 2, like Halo 3 was "which was bull-blam!- because I'd win 20 matches in a row and I would not rank up but one loss would derank me 1-2 ranks down". Halo 2 had a fair ranking system which gave you the chance of ranking up to the high levels.

Halo 3 was a lot better and you are lying when you speak of this level locking. I know for a fact this is bull because I have and many famous gamers like Knightxofxlight have been first lieutenants or staff captains and gotten it up to a 50. You were bad at Halo 3. I am not being mean, I am being honest. 20 matches in a row? Not even a realistic exaggeration since you lose half your games. You have to go back 6 pages to see first normal ranked playlist with a 2 game winstreak. Your stats are just awful. Absolutely terrible!

People like you need Halo 2 hitboxes because you can't aim in a game that takes skill like Halo 3.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Halo 2 for Life!

Large hit boxes were so people could play in laggy conditions. It actually made H2 playible in BTB, not like H3 BTB or any other halo's BTB.

I had a hard time understanding any of your points as well...

Famous... I have never heard of Knightxofxlight...

Halo 3 was the biggest let down in gaming history. I can not begin to tell you my dis-pleasure in it's slowness and lack of button combos. Halo 2 actually required skill in timing as button combos took away control but added speed to the game like no other FPS. Gears tried to recreate this with faster reloads but it didn't come close. H3 also didn't have the interactions I enjoyed and elminated communication and teamwork things like getting out of the map. I don't want to spend all day talking about this but H3 really wrecked Halo to this day and created a poor platform for another bad game called reach.

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

Have fun with your connection reliant BR in a ranking system where someone can get a 50 in 22 games. Which is stupid, it should take more than a minimum of 22 games to get to a 50. What's this? Halo 2's ranking system fits that bill?
