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.

It had a bad net code, cheaters, a very boring and detracting story mode, horrible level design, unskilled gameplay, and a terrible community.

You know what, you are completely right. Halo 2 was the most flawed game in the entire series. It had the most bugs, glitches, and its servers were crawling with modders and standbyers. It was impossible to get above a level 30 in matchmaking. Hell, a level 24 was considered legit. There were people who would break the maps by super jumping and finding those invisible stairways. Such an overrated game.

I salute you for speaking the truth, OP. I'm afraid I will have to go with your nostalgia option on this one though. Halo 2 is still my favorite Halo game by far. I have the most online memories from Halo 2, and all of them were amazing. Halo 2 was horribly flawed, but by god did I make the most out of it.

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!

Halo 1/2 - rushed game, filled with glitches, bugs, and all the bells and whistles

Halo 3 - finished product, felt by many the weakest Halo in the trilogy

Halo Reach - finished product, built by a different team, not as loved as it was compared to Halo 1/2

So if anything, Bungie got more success out of games they had little time to do and were just brainstorming.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say there. Care to elaborate?

... lol I thought you'd be talking about h2..

becuase it's obvious h2 had way more sales if you include all that.

H3 is behind it.

Read the whole thread actually and this kind of debunked what you just said.

Click the reference links. Halo 3's Wikipedia # is from Jan. 2008 only a few months after Halo 3's release. It's much more than that by now seeing how it's over 3 years since then. I remember it hitting 13 million a couple years ago.

Halo CE is probably gotten a bunch of downloads since 2005 (the reference date), too. I know a friend who never played it because he only played Gamecube, but he bought it off the marketplace when he got his 360.

Halo ODST was marketed as a $60 add on with no matchmaking. It makes sense that it would have low numbers, but still I felt it was a good game. Even ODST's 3 million statistic is from one week after it's release. I personally didn't get it till much later and I know the same goes for others because of the BETA hype.

Reach's numbers are way off because the 3.3 million listed that Reach sold are the amount it sold in the first 24 hours.

no i provided links to actual known values see they did not. they just made hypothetical assumptions that may or may not be factual (probably not)


H2 built on H1 like nothing else and h3 initial sales built on halo 2 but it had terrible secondary sales.

halo 2 on the other hand had huge secondary sales.

No because he is just explained that your links are using old information, but I will look into your links myself to see if he is right.

Checked them all now.

Here go to the wikipedia link you have there. Click the reference link as said. Read the date or click the link of reference. That sales figure is from 1-3-2008 for Halo 3. Halo 3 has 22,242,516 million ONLINE unique users on their page so that's a load of bull. That proves Halo 3 sold more than Halo 2. Halo 2 only had 8 million sales three years after being out, but Halo 3 had 8.1 million in just three or four months after its release. Halo 3 is also still one of the top 15 games on XBL and you are completely wrong. Halo 3 was the more popular game. I have a ton of friends that started on Halo CE or Halo 2 and most prefer Halo 3 over either and a few CE. The only that prefer Halo 2 are the noobs.

there better then no stats. See if you have more up to date stats then show me.

You said without any proof H3 was by far the best selling or something to this effect. I had proof from actual stats.

also halo 2 rules.

@totallymassive

You understand that those stats are very misleading because they are outdated. They do not prove your point and looking into it they actually hurt your point.

It's impossible to find reliable stats unless microsoft gives it out themself. Sites I've checked have said that they are speculation and numbers may be off so therefore there is no real way to know. I found a pretty official looking one that says 11 million, but another says 18 million. Those are very far apart so I guess you should just email microsoft if you want legit numbers to back your point.

yeah trusting numbers is hard.


H2 way over doubled it's sales a year latter.

H3 didn't do this (it did have larger initial sales but poorer sales after that compared to h2).

anyways if you find relible stats tell me.

Are you retarded, stupid or something?

"Not as loved"... HAHAHAHAHA

Back in the days, people complained about -blam!- just as much, that's not just exclusive to Reach and H3.

Also, do the terms "Grizzled Ancients" as well as "Old Skool" sound familiar? That's some +50 CE devs still at Bungie. All of them Designers.

Only people who can be replaced (Programmers) left.

  • 06.29.2011 8:44 PM PDT

this guy that posted this is saying halo 2 is a horrible game? this guys a joke its 1 of my favorite campaignes out of any halo campaigne. this game is the whole reason i still play halo today, it was the most popular game in its prime and for a reason but some kid like you that just started on halo 3 or halo reach more then likely wouldnt understand that. and it wasnt getting pulled from online cause of low players you idiot all original xbox games were getting pulled offline.

Halo2 is best <3

  • 06.30.2011 12:59 AM PDT

Halo 2 is the best simply because it was revolutionary and simple.

The online system revolutionized console gaming at the time. It's still the best Halo that game out because it had the perfect blend of complex and simple gameplay. None of the equipment or AA's that slowed down gameplay. It was a simple, fast paced FPS. You had someone shooting you? You better turn call out to your teammate or turn around and out-shoot them.

Melee was better because it wasn't just the double melee bull-blam!-, you actually had to have skill and press B-X-B faster than the opponent, so the fast fingers won melee fights.

Also, I don't even need to go into the fact that the maps were very well built, from the small to big maps. And how the ranking system was extremely better than Halo 3 or Reach.

But one of the main reasons the game was so great was because of all the glitches. There were whole communities made of up glitches, super bouncers, modders, and legit-players.

SuperBouncing was the greatest mistake ever made by Bungie because it spawned a ton of sub-culture teams that used bouncing as a way to compete, see who had the best bounces, who could hit the most double/triple bounces, etc.

So many things to do. If you were bored of playing MM legit, go play fun customs like Warthog Wars/Troy/Zombies/etc. Bored of that? Go glitch and find some new ways to get out of the map or duplicate a warthog. Bored of that, go work on some superbounces.

Nothing can be further from the truth. These polls are meaningless because in all poll threads here in H2 forum there is a person who can stack the votes. 3 or 4 times in this thread alone there would be 20 or 30 no votes in less than 20 minutes. 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.

  • 06.30.2011 10:53 AM PDT

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 :(

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. How is it even possible to revote? That doesn't make sense. To vote 20 times. How do you do that? Doesn't let me do that.

EDIT: this keeps getting bumped so I am gonna change the OP pretty soon to make it less harsh. I'm not going to do it right away and might edit it a couple times till I get it right. This thread was suppose to die, but since it's not going to for whatever reason I am gonna make sure it's fair.
