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

anyone who hasn't played halo 2 before the 360 came out shouldn't comment.

hello :)

Halo 2 its a no brainer :T

  • 09.28.2011 6:37 PM PDT

who loves halo 3 anyways? it was mostly a copy of halo 2, like MW3 is basically MW2 but a little more refined

  • 09.28.2011 6:38 PM PDT

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

I would say if Halo 2 was modeled (given the same graphics, etc.) like Reach is, Halo 2 would have no opposition.

I play on red bar. Problem?

Being 6 years older than Reach, there is no way Halo 2 could possibly have the same graphics. For the time, Halo 2's graphics were amazing. If you mean gameplay-wise, I'm going to have to hit you with a brick.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

Reach. I've been a fan since Combat Evolved, and Halo 2 is my least favorite in the series.

Hi, my name is Stolen_Zombie! My morning routine is to bomb the ocean, eat a house, drink salt water, and kill a zombie. Many people consider me a jack ass because I eat corn flakes, I tell those people to go have sex with a kangaroo. After my morning routine, I rage over beating LNoS on mythic so I can get one step closer to mythic reach completion. I should mention that's after school. My diet is shotgun shells and paper airplanes, nice to meet you!

Because Reach is totally free of potholes, right?

Only the 10-year old kids that never played Halo 2 are voting for Reach. Everyone else is voting for H2.

  • 09.28.2011 7:33 PM PDT

Halo 3 was better than both

It wasn't so much that Reach had plot holes but rather rewrote the series cannon. Halo 2 had plenty of plot holes. So did Halo 3, but at least I enjoyed Halo 3's gameplay enough to overlook them :-)

--Tea-baggers are funny, it's as if they think they are far more hetero than the people who do it in real life, because they use their e-ballsacks to do it. What a manly victory dance.

Assuming you meant LIVE capable, I would go H2.

who loves halo 3 anyways? it was mostly a copy of halo 2, like MW3 is basically MW2 but a little more refined

That's closer to the truth with Reach, as Reach is the first halo game to use the same generation engine build as a previous game (Reach and h3 are both on the 3rd gen Blam! engine).

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Didn't Reach have more recycled H2 maps than H3 did?

No, I don't mean gameplay, not at all. And as for graphics, I do believe that they were impressive, just like N64 game graphics were great for that time.

Before you gamestalk me, my H3 Exp is boosted because I'm not playing 5000 games again like I did on my main account for my 5 star. I AFKed and Grif boosted wtih supers0ak to get to Inheritor since I'm impatient when it comes to processional ranks. Nothing in Reach shows skill unless you play with the person anyways.

No H2 history before 08

Account created 07

Nope, you played Halo 2 after H3

Therefore, your opinion doesn't matter.

I wonder how many Reach voters actually played Halo 2 MM back in its prime.


Halo 2 will hold its own spot in my heart as one of the best gaming experiences of my life. I feel sorry for anyone who missed out on it.

It's all nostalgia value for you guys isn't it.

#1 Halo 2 was totally broken: cheaters button combo noobs and the freaking network manipulators.
#2 Bad graphics
#3 Did not have AA's. AA's have saved the franchise. Armor Lock is the best invention in FPS's in a long time. AA's make the game fun again.

From the death of worlds comes great power. My hands shall be hate my eyes revenge... And those who are prideful and refuse to bow down, shall be laid low and made unto dust!

Reach for sure.
