Why are all the halo 2 fanboys so butthurt from a Bnet poll? They put Halo 2 offline because it was not a successful as Halo 3.


Where you been these past few years, hiding under a rock? Your stupidity amazes me. Did you not play Halo 2 when it came out or did you decide I"ll play Halo 2 when live support was shutting down to see what it was?

They shut down live support for all original xbox games because of some supposed major upgrade to the live network, which has not occurred yet. Next time get your facts straight before you claim live support was cut for Halo 2 because it wasn't as successful as Halo 3. Halo 2's popularity was the only reason why Halo 3 was made, and it made Bungie and the series into what it is now.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

You know what the best Halo was....

Halo 2

You know why? Because that's my -blam!- opinion you goofy ass losers. Stop fighting over which Halo is better. Look at us butthurt fanboys? (here we are minding our business in the halo 2 forum) How about look at you die hard trolls determined to make us agree with your opinion and refused to let up (Jacob g rocks).

You can shove your nostalgia arguments up your @sshole because most of you claim halo 1 better anyway. I still play Halo 2's campaign and think its the best out of the series.

Halo 1 was better, and that's not due to nostalgia. Look at the player numbers on Xfire.

Halo 2 for Life!

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.

Wow it's JacobGRocks what a surprise...

So based on your logic Call of Duty is the best game out because it has the most people...

Not to mention that you need Vista to play Halo 2 which nobody has because it sucks major ass, and Halo 1 is so easily "accessible" (in fact watching this is how I got mine) and doesn't require a LIVE account to play online.

But even if that wasn't the case it wouldn't matter because Halo 2 is the best halo game to me no matter how many bull-blam!- arguments you come up with.

There you are with those nostalgia spectacles again, lol. Why don't you give an in-depth, thoughtful answer to a question you've been asked before. Why do you come here Jacob?

Please provide an intelligent answer, not 'because it's fun' or 'because I want to'. Tell us what motivates you to come to a forum of a game you hate, a company you hate and you hate the majority of the people here in this forum. Yet day after day you are here, in a place you hate.

I don't think you have the courage to come out with the truth.

Halo 2 was boring. When I first played the Halo 3 beta I knew it would destroy halo 2. It did! :P When Halo 3 came out the halo 2 populations were in the low thousands. With reach it's still at over 100,000/day. Kind of speaks to the quality of Halo 3 > Halo 2. Reach is good too. I still like Halo 3 more than any of them, but no doubt H2 was the worst in the series. Not that it was bad, but it wasn't great.

EDIT: *puts on flame suit*

LOL apparently you can't have an opinion without getting flamed hard.

Halo 1 was better, but you don't need statistics to prove it. It's just obvious.

Sadly, that's the H2 forum. Look at pages 1 and 2.

H3 was better then H2. So is Reach.

Before you judge us too harshly, consider that there is a reason Jacob has been banned twice and a 3rd time might be forever. The banhammer does not come out often around here anymore so that illustrates just how out of line he was.

He got banned because he is a troll and went over the line too many times.

Also, there's no doubt that H2 is the best.

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

In a way, every game is overrated and it all boils down to the opinion of us angry players.

I think every game was great in its own way but there are some things that are simply facts, such as Halo 2 having masssssive auto-aim and bullet magnetism. Or CE having backtracking in the Campaign....

I agree, just stop fighting over which game is better, no game is perfect and they're all overrated.

  • 04.30.2011 7:05 PM PDT

Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

Halo 2 is good, but it's not any better than Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 3, or Halo: Reach.

Opinions are opinions. Who really cares what someone else thinks is a better game for which purposes. Let's all just sit back in a chair and sip on a nice drink. Here's a nice picture of some puppies to help the relaxation process (:

You are right, opinions are opinions. Opinions aren't the truth. After reading all these postings we degraded ourselves to that of the United States Congress in their little party fighting. Hopefully things will change in this thread now and cool down.

Thanks for lightening the mood, the puppies really helped. We all should chill.

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 :(

This has turned into a flame war and gotten away from the original reason I created the poll. No debate. Just flame vs flame. It's time or one thing! More puppies :)

Halo 2 for Life!

Your over generalities have caused flames to urupt.

You should have said something specific and then sat back and watched, and put a little rain on it so it smolders but you gave it fuel and then fan the flames.

The landscape is now a barn waste land with the flames reaching new areas... But it is likely to go out. That is if people wish not to be silly but silly is what silly does I guess lol.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Op trolls Reach forum.

Anyway, let me get my opion into this fire.

Halo CE was better campaign wise as the story was new. It wasnt the same "Shoot the germans" games which were pretty much the previous generation game shooter stories.

Halo 2 brought in Multiplayer. Although MLG was founded on Halo: CE, this new feature gave it the strength to flourish and become great.

Thank you.

LW 46 / TD 46 / TS 45 / TSW 37 / TSN 34 / MLG 25

dropshock.net

it was rushed, yes. But everything was still great!! (Campaign/Multiplayer/Glitches/Coop) :-)

  • 05.01.2011 3:41 AM PDT

CE=best campaign
H2=best multiplayer
H3=best for custom games
Reach=best forge and messing about

That is my opinion :)

It had the best level design it was the only Halo game in which you could explore as much as you wanted.


"Explore". Try Reach, you can go out of almost any map and mission there as well. In Halo 2, that was only possible with Glitches.

you float up ladders, you glide around the floor, it has the most Over powered starting weapon in the history of gaming, the grenades are nukes, button glitches (like u cry about in H2)
