You prefered Halo 2 over the rest of the series? YOU get out of here.
Also i do beleive i am allowed to voice my opinion on the forums. You don't have to agree with it but you should atleast have the decencey to say why.
Halo 2 WROTE the Xbox Live formula.
Maybe so... but just because you are the first to make something doesn't mean that what you make is good. Halo 2 was full of lag, mods, and glitches. Getting killed by a single melee because of a glitch (BXR) when it should take 2-3 is not cool.
Also, being able to fly a banshee through a wall because you have a few fancy microchips in your Xbox that allow you to have mods is not a good thing.
The lag... do I really have to explain how much Halo 2 could lag with just one person in the game having a "Wallmart Connection"?
1. Button glitches were glitches yes.. but once you learned how to use them properly you didn't have to worry about them as often, plus if you let some guy get close enough to you to punch you in the face before you 4 shot him.. you probably deserved to be killed anyways. It's sad to say this about glitches but learn and adapt, everyone else did.
2. Mod's sucked yes but their were plenty of easy ways around them. I used to run train on kids that modded all the time cause they'd dish out $100 on equipment they didn't know how to use properly. Worst comes to worst you had the ability to purchase these "fancy chips" as well..
3. Halo 2 runs on the same system as Halo 3 and Reach as far as online play, only difference is Halo 2 was one of the FIRST games to use this system so the way it searched for host was by far inferior which explains the lag. It has nothing to do with the game itself. Read up on connections.
On another note, it'd be neat to see how they'd update Halo 2 but it won't happen. They're doing Halo: CE because..
1. It's the first game of the series, where it all began.
2. We asked for it so much.
Halo 2 is no where near as important as being the first of the series that started a revolution in the way shooters were played.
