Halo 3 was by far the better game. Customs were better. Zombies was better. SWAT was better. Sniping was better. The story was better. The music was better. The maps were better. The campaign levels were better. Halo 3 for life!

Meh. I've played Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, and I honestly still prefer Halo 2.

But, when it all comes down to it, all of these polls about "how Halo 2 sucks and Halo 3 rocks" and whatnot are just a matter of opinion and not solid fact - point is, they're all good/great games in their own right.

Perhaps the same can be said of the yes vote but I've never personally seen the votes add up like the no's. Either way, these polls have been rendered useless by a troll or 2.[/quote]

Same can be said from your side. Also, I know VoshCooper has been posting this link in the Halo 3 forums before so that may be why the vote count is so high.
Why would you correct me when all you did was repeat what I said?

There's been other threads that had nothing to do with H3 in a vote count. Same pattern so just because you do not know how to vote again doesn't mean someone cannot do that. A frat house could do it, for example, someone skilled at manipulating addresses. It seems to be right at 20 every time I've noticed.

I read almost the entire thread... I hate humanity

OP- Im going to state my opinion and make it one sided presenting only negative facts and manipulating other facts to make the game seem like garbage

JacobGRocks- HERP DERP DERP HERP DERP!!!

OP & H2 Fans- shutup Jacob! heres some puppies =) !!!!

you make valid points but i wish i couldve went back to halo 2 before they pulled the plug on it and halo2 was the first game i played on xbox live and i love CE but the reason the story is so bad in halo 2 is that during production mircosoft made bungie throw away alot of progress.i will miss halo 2 but its influence is undeniable, all halo games after halo 2,except halo 3 ODST, hav put maps in from halo 2.

not sure what you mean throw away progress? i heard they had to change the plot because the elite was named after a muslim or something and microsoft didn't want it to appear to be a reference to war on terrorism, but that was just rumor. The Arbiter being called Dervish, but again that is just a rumor as far as I know and could mean something different than the current wars. Not sure what you mean though. Do you mean the story was suppose to be completely different coz I don't get what you mean lolz. I'm tired. Going to bed. I makes no sense when I stay up for 30+ hours.

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

As a Halo player since the very beginning of the series back in 2001, someone who played Halo 2 on LIVE during its prime and someone who has played a lot of Halo 3 and Halo: Reach I still gotta stand by Halo 2.

It doesn't matter if it was buggy, or if it was flawed or didn't play as 'smoothly' as Halo 3. Its a matter of personal opinion and no matter how much proof you provide to bash H2, I firmly believe that no other game could provide the experience that Halo 2 did simply because it was the game that revolutionized Xbox LIVE.

Halo 2 had alot of things wrong with it, but to me, if you put Halo: Reach beside it there is no comparison in terms of value and quality.

its all about opinion, I enjoy Halo 3 aswell and Reach is..alright sometimes. But Halo 1 and Halo 2 were the best of the series IMO.

Nice post, very well constructed. I will assume you are a very intelligent and organized person until you prove to me otherwise.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Loved Halo 2 for it's campaign but never had the joy of playing it online during its prime. I am saddened by this, but I don't complain. I prefer to have memories of Custom Games with friends and hour upon hours of Campaign fun.

  • 07.01.2011 10:58 PM PDT

I must say first Halo 2 was a great game and so were the other halos but reach is what you seem to cater toward and it isnt that great. Its story on legendary didnt take long to beat same with odst and H3 but still I ran through reach rather fast. Its multiplayer turned out badly the ranking system is still bad and I get Afks alot and people who quit more than in H2 or H3. The bloom was a great idea but wasnt really done right and the AAs on any original maps dont play nearly as good as in H3 or H2

  • 07.02.2011 3:52 AM PDT

yani

Halo 2 IMO was better than 3. The multiplayer of both blow reach's out of the water though.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

No other game has or ever will provide the entertainment Halo 2 did in it's prime. No other game.

Perfect blend of complexity and simplicity, and tons of things to do.

  • 07.03.2011 6:53 PM PDT

thats wat i meant,they had to change the plot and all. i dont get why ppl hav to rip on halo 2 on these forums. if u dont like the game,dont post, go post on halo 3 if u like that game better but leave this forum for the ppl who actually like the game.

Halo 2 fans do the same thing on those forums, but actually this thread has been bumped now so many times. I didn't intend for one little thread to carry on for months. I don't even think I made that many points to where it deserved this much reaction. I've seen better comparisons and discussion on the PC forums regarding this topic.

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

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


Amazing!

Maps in Halo 3 and Reach are utter dog -blam!- compared to the set we received in Halo 2.

halo 3 maps where ok, not as good as halo 2's maps but i still managed to have fun most of them. halo 2 has the best maps ofcourse but i agree that reach's maps are -BLAM!-, might as well of just been 1 map in the game: manure factory

Powerhouse. Great map if they just removed a couple power weapons. Boneyard and Spire are good for invasion. It's probably the best addition in Reach. Most of the maps would be good if jetpack wasn't in play. Jetpack literally breaks a handful of maps that would otherwise be decent.
