In some ways halo 2 is overrated i.e. some maps were not perfect i.e. turf. but most were perfect.
I your simplifying the situation as Halo 2 ruled in many ways and was not overrated in those ways. I.e. I think it's modding ability was underrated.
Almost anything could be created not like todays forge which is very overrated.
You would be better served to break it down into ways it was overrated, underrated, and correctly rated. Instead of saying a sweeping statement of ignorance like Halo 2 is overrated.

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.
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.
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).
When I went back from Halo 3 I realized that the game I thought was great was horrid. But when I go back from Reach to Halo 3 or CE I still have fun because those games had unique elements which made them unique to any other shooters. I want to congratulate bungie for taking strides on improving the series game to game (except the one failure mentioned in this OP) and creating a great platform for 343 to build upon. Also, I can't wait for aerospace which will hopefully be their next CE. Hopefully, there will never be another Halo 2.
