Subject: Is Halo 2 worth picking up?

Been a long time Halo/Bungie fan, and always will be.

I want to enjoy the multi-player experience for Halo 2 again, but are the existing servers any good?

Chicken go cluck cluck cow go moo

Its worth picking up if you can find it for less than 20 bucks imo, i played it about a month ago and it was pretty good, but it doesn't feel competitive anymore like how it was on xbox back in the day, partially because most of the games are just ridiculously long and weird.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Do you like random weapon starts and nothing but Coagulation? Of course you do. Go grab the game, you little scamp, and don't forget to pick up a $40 aimbot while you're out.

The most populated servers constantly host either CTF Lockout w/ snipers, or CTF Coagulation. There are a couple fiesta games as well. Fun to play every now and then. Not a large community by any means, but there are always enough people to play a few games with.

However, you can set up your own room and play whatever you want as well. Invite all the people you played with recently in other rooms, few will pop in pretty quick, even more will show up when the game theyre playing at the moment finishes.

Quite frankly, if you can find the game for really cheap I say go for it. Not that bad if all you want to do is play a few matches every now and then. However, if you still own your xbox, and/or xbox 360, I recommend you look into the (free) computer programs XBConnect and Xlink Kai. They allow you to play Halo 1 and 2 online without xbox live and no fees.

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

Don't compare me with H2V's built-in aimbot, please. ;)

In my opinion, the only thing you lose in multiplayer is the competitiveness. For me, that was sort of the whole shebang; do you know what I mean? But still, I play the game every now and then because I still get a kick out of BR'ing and pistoling the suckers :D Oh, and don't forget the sniper!

lol I love going back to play this and using the noob combo. Yeah, some considered it OP or even noobish (hence the name) but it still has a soft spot in my heart :)

Pointing out that a game is extremely sub-par = "spoiling" a thread.
