Subject: Halo 2 is overrated.

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.

I counted sixteen statements that were based on assumptions or opinions.

In my opinion Halo 2 is the best Halo, it has the most in depth story, as well as varied gameplay that is still fun seven years later.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

Yea, I am surprised that they came together. Once a troll, always a troll. As Grumpy1 said "No doubt about it, H2 is the best lol".

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Of course it is behind the times it was made almost 7 years ago now. It is the greatest of the Halo games given the comparible stats.

Halo REACH feels as if I'm stuck in a H3 social playlist. The games in Reach that i have played and ended 49-50/50-49 can be counted on one hand. It seems You (Bungie) have striped the competitive drive from the Halo community

Reach is the most noob friendly halo in the world LOL at OP ur a NOOB your H3 skill rank is 11! When all you Noobs get a 50 in H3 then you can talk and have a respected opinion. You hated H2 and H3 because it took to much skill that you could never acquire...I suggest buying Call of Duty my 6 year old can get 20 kills in the game. If you were actually good at any of those games then i would take this opinion seriously.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

"NO-Stalgia"

I agree with you OP. The Halo fanbase is the dumbest of the entire world, they're butthurt every time a new installation faces the world simply because they hate change but they also would've complained if Bungie simply "re-packaged" the last game.

If they don't like the game they should -blam!-i­n sell it instead of complaining.

Just who are you talking about in that last sentence? We like the game so of course we wouldn't sell it. As far as your 'dumbest' comment, you can only speak for yourself.

  • 04.28.2011 2:13 AM PDT

Halo: Reach is way more Noobified then Halo 2.

I know nostalgia is a big deal to people which is why most people like Halo 2 the most. They jumped on the bandwagon while never experiencing Halo CE on LANs. Playing them out of order and never LANing is the only logical reason someone would prefer Halo 2 over CE. So then they try to claim it's better than Halo 3 or Reach. That is just laughable because this game is so behind our time. You may have had a great time when it was in it's prime like me, but this game is gone and should be gone. It had a bad net code, cheaters, a very boring and detracting story mode, horrible level design, unskilled gameplay, and a terrible community.
Its a game we dont have to be uber pro.

Halo 2's community is the worst because they spend all their time on the Reach forums complaining. I think you are all just trolling the Reach forums because you are jealous that your noob friendly game isn't around no more. Well get over it and get friends in real life so we don't have to hear you biitch all day. It's so annoying when we are trying to read forums on forge maps or matchmaking ideas.
Its funny becuse the Halo: Reach forum troll us.

They removed it from online because it had like 200-500 people online (before they announced it was getting pulled and you got free xbox live/microsoft points for playing it).
M$ Wasn't getting money for The old xbox, so they cut it.

  • 04.28.2011 6:29 AM PDT

No way.. Halo 2 is my favorite Halo game of them all.

Finally, a real forum post instead of the same fanboy bull over and over again. Obviously, the gamers that are bad at Reach are going to be mad that it is different than Halo 2. You can't really blame them because they suck. It just makes sense. It's opinion based on skills. Your better at Reach so you like Reach. They suck at Reach so they hate Reach. Still it's refreshing to see someone with a real look on Halo 2.

Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time, period. That's multiplayer, single player, co-op campaign, everything. I -blam!- love halo 3 and I include ODST coz it has Halo 3 in the title =)

I want to congratulate bungie for taking strides on improving the series game to game


It's a well known fact that Halo 2 fanboys can not accept change no matter how good it is. Just check through these forums and you can see example after example of their closed mind. I agree when you say that the games have been getting much better game to game from Halo 2 and that should also include ODST.

i got halo 2 about 6 months before halo 3 came out...maybe i don't have the entire picture but i don't see how it was so good. it was kinda boring because you couln't customize anything. the multiplayer in general was good for it's time, but they def. got better in the new games. the thing i disliked most about halo 2 was the campaign. it was too linear and the story just seemed really cheesy.

  • 04.28.2011 7:28 AM PDT

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

This. Halo 2 fans like to defend thier game, while being very closed minded about it. Honestly, it is overrated.

oh trolled i wouldnt do that

i wish they brought halo 2 back instead of making reach

i miss that game sooo much

Halo 2 for Life!

CE,H3,Hreach are over rated....

H2 was the best online game ever! Not just ranked by me but leading reviewers.

It made MLG, it made XBL, it was a game like no others. The best game in history is halo 2.

I'm talking about the complainers who create 665 threads a day on the Reach Forums but still just don't sell it. They hail Halo 2 albeit most of them never played it. Those are the bandwagon idiots who think it's cool to like the newest game the least and H2 the most.

Most of you haters never played Halo 2 at its prime, only after Halo 3 came out did most of you even try Halo 2. Most of you only started playing live around the time the 360 came out and never played any of the old classics from the original xbox on live from the beginning. After Halo 2 came out, online gaming was radically altered for the console and all other companies began following Bungie's innovative way for online gaming. It made online gaming what it is today.

Besides you ignorant to how much Halo has fallen. Just look at Reach and its a failure with its armor abilities, elimination of ranked playlists, and lack of BR. Halo 3 had a short campaign and it required everyone to buy the map packs to play on the good game playlists. Halo 2 all the maps were free after a few months of its release and everyone had the chance to play and have fun without being required to buy every map pack.

I agree with you on everything except Halo CE being over rated. Halo CE and Halo 2 were both the best games in the series.
