I'm not talking about story here since I know alot of people liked it because of the story, I'm talking about the overall feel and gameplay. Am I the only one who feels that most of the levels just weren't all that fun? the first time I played it I was enjoying the game up until you kill Regret then I thought the levels just started to become less fun and didn't have that same feel that I got from every CE level and the only levels I actually felt like playing again for the fun of it were Cairo, Outskirts/Metropolis and Delta Halo/Regret. I would only play the other levels if I was doing a full playthrough of the campaign, I did eventually learn to like all the levels but I would've liked to have loved them all from the start.

Brains beats brawn get used to it

Fear the Red Comet

Variety is the spice of life.
Long live games.
Death to all fanboys.

Why do you insist on talking about gameplay in a forum specifically made to discuss the story of games....

The story was OK. But The game play for me was easily the worst Halo.

I getcha, I didn't like a whole lot of the arbiter levels, but I still like Halo 2 as a whole.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The story was the best. To me anyway. It took the series to being a bit more than just black and white, good guy versus bad guy stuff.

Ever think someone has different tastes? I may not like it, but I have lots of friends that do.

Think before you post

Because "I am a monument to all your sins" is a great line.

In the endgame, there's Gravemind, Great Journey and Quarantine mother-blam!_ing zone as good levels. SI and especially HC are bad, Uprising's so-so.

Halo was the mystery, the introduction, the awakenining.

Halo 2 was the eyes wide open, hey here's your story, now kick some ass, wait lolcliffhanger.

Halo 3 was the disappointing ending.

Well, lol, the selling point of a game, for me, is usually the story (that's one of the main reasons I like Halo as a whole). In my opinion, Halo 2 had the best story out of any of the Halo games. It also had some of the most memorable quotes/lines out of any video game. Halo 2 was the first Halo game I played as well, so I subconsciously prefer Halo 2 to CE.

Gameplay-perspective, it was epic. No Halo, to me, has had "bad" gameplay. IMO, Reach had the best gameplay (by a hair), but all of the retcons REALLY pissed me off. And the character development was bad.

Universe forum is for discussion about story. Even if you want to talk about gameplay.

The gameplay did get a little dry after a while for me. I think mainly because the Brutes were just awful.
Alot of people hate fighting Brutes in the Halo games, but you have to be amazed just how much better the Brutes were in Halo 3.
All in all the story of Halo 2 made up for the repetitive gameplay in the campaign.
