Subject: Which game would you rather have, Reach or Halo 2?

I'd keep Reach. It still has online multiplayer, Forge, and Theater. All Halo 2 has is the campaign, albeit a really fun one at that. But Reach has more to offer.

Whoo.

Reach, this isn't to say that Reach isn't drastically better in terms of ... well a lot of things.

Mainly due to the fact that it's not broken.


But without Halo 2 I would have never really gotten into Halo that much, I mean I'd probably still be playing Halo right now but all the joy I would have missed out on? All the epic experiances, all the awesome machinima that would have never been created, hell I'd go so far as to say gaming wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for the epic broken pile of awesome that Halo 2 was.
And for all that it has done, I cannot vote against it.

Fun side note: Most people who are going to vote Reach are either new or terrible at Halo 2.

I like how you think this is relevant (or true) at all.
And anyway, for everyone voting "Halo 2"... guess what, quit playing Reach, go play Halo 2. If you'd really rather have/play Halo 2... it's that simple.

This is actually pathetic for Reach. On the Reach forum, after most of the older fans quit, Reach STILL isn't winning.



The trolls and bandwagoners are still there. And alts as well.

Your point? The same thing happened back in the H2 forums with poll saying: "What did you like more, HALO or Halo2"

Halo 2 > Reach.
Reach is just a terrible game, Halo 2's campaign on Legendary was better than Halo Reach online.

Download my "Vindictive Valley" Valhalla remake NOW!!

Reach. 2 had a better campaign, but still. Multiplayer. If multiplayer doesn't count, then 2.

Pretty sure he means as in better game, and Halo 2 campaign is better than Reach MM.

Does Halo 2 still work over XBL in this situation? Cuz if I can get the multiplayer of Halo 2 over XBL than it's a no-brainer; otherwise, I could care less.

Halo 2 is sadly still the best Halo game ever played over XBL. Of course, if I could get H:CE over XBL...

Halo 2 isn't on XBL anymore, Galileo.

Halo 2. What kind of question is this?

  • 06.20.2011 10:06 PM PDT

Everyone that had H2 played hours on end in H2, endless things to do in Halo 2. Reach is just the same game over and over, trying to meet the needs to win over CoD players. Anyone with Halo 2 didn't buy any other games for xbox for those couple years, and if they did... they didn't put nearly as much time into those other games. Reach is by far the worst Halo game Bungie has made. Halo 2 campaign had some super fun levels, Reach campaign is like WTF? No one cares about Noble Team, MC FTW! Halo 2 maps were great, Lockout is by far one of the best FPS maps ever made. Only good map Reach has is Asylum, a H2 remake of Sanctuary. Who's idea was a DMR, seriously WTF? Reach has firefight, which is not as good as in ODST. Not to mention how much time you could just mess around with glitches and getting out of the map, and super jumps.

It's funny because Halo 2 is winning 57%-43%.

I prefer H2 over Reach any time.

I've played since Combat Evolved was released back in 2001 and I've always hated Halo 2.

I voted for Reach.

If you could have one game, and delete the other from the face of the Earth, which would it be? Personally, I choose Halo 2. Reach is too repetitive and similar to every other game out there with no incentive to play. Bungie turned their backs to true fans with Reach, but they embraced the community with Halo 2. Fun side note: Most people who are going to vote Reach are either new or terrible at Halo 2.

I choose reach, because xbox live support is dead for halo 2, not to mention, I was unlucky, and I only played halo 2 online the last month it had on live. (I wasn't able of connecting my xbox 360 to live until 2009, even though I had it since it came out... so... )

Been playing Halo since 2001. I know my Halo.

Halo 2 > Reach.

No matter how many Halo's that come out after Halo 2, I'd still want to play Halo 2 the most. I doubt any Halo will ever top the legend of Halo 2, the game that was the reason why Xbox Live is a success, nor Halo: CE.

I agree. As many things Halo 2 had missing, I know that Bungie legitamitely wanted to push as much stuff into it as possible, and worked right up to the deadline in making it work with what they couldn't put in.

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

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

H2, what kind of question is that

Some people like games where cheating is impossible, the soundtrack isn't ripping your earlobes up with guitar & where the guns don't aim themselves.

Like this?
Of course though, cheating is impossible, right?
Right, nothing going on here either.
And I prefer Halo 2's soundtrack over Reach's. The MJOLNIR Mix version of the Halo theme is great.
