Halo 2 for Life!

Halo 2 was way faster and funnier

Halo 3 disappointed me on so many levels (mostly because it was super clunky and slow), sure h3 had less glitches but I'd trade in less glitch's for increased speed and smoothness of play any day.

Also anything looks good or correct when you slow down game-play so much. H2 wasn't the prettiest or the cleanest it was just the best FPS of all time.


If halo 2 players (other then the few still around) still used these forums (they don't because H3 and Hreach were terrible games) this vote would go much differently.

I may be short, but my heart is tall.

Sorry about exploiting the picture of you eating a cat in my coup.

I can't decide... I feel like Halo 2 would have been more enjoyable for me, but I didn't get Xbox Live until Halo 3. I guess I ultimately enjoyed Halo 3 more, so I'll say that.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Not even close. Halo 3 finished the fight and had the best elements of Halo 1 and 2 combined. The weapons like the sword and sniper were not overpowered and the shotgun was actually useful to counter the sword. A shotgun that can't shoot five feet. C'mon in real life they can shoot 300 yards.

I'm not doubting your overall opinions but I know a lot about firearms and there's no shotgun that exists that can shoot and hurt anything at 300 yards, not that I know of anyway.

Well I did exaggerate, but the point is a good one and just out of curiously I googled it. Here's what I found.

Lol, it's just a YT video so the measurement is suspect. Besides, in H2 you don't shoot slugs, only pellets. However, I understand your point.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Halo 2 because it had a better storyline and a longer campaign. It also didn't require you to buy so many dlc's just to play the good playlists in matchmaking. Halo 2 all the maps became free after a while, Halo 3 you still have to have the paid dlc's just to play most of the fun playlists.

Halo 3 because it had better maps and more variety. It also had a lot more good maps for matchmaking. Halo 2 didn't really have a good story either, while Halo 3 was epic. The music may have had something to do with this, but Halo 3 was better in both campaign and multiplayer IMO.

Yeah, good points but for me it boils down to 'how much fun' I have. I had more fun playing H2 than any other game, except maybe Metal Arms - Glitch in the System.

Slow? GTFO. You lead your shots. It's not like the bullet spread is random like bloom or something. It was a uniform spread and recoil was uniform. It was still a four shot. You call this slow?

Halo 2 for Life!

your lack of knowing what bxr is and the button combos that sped up halo 2, that h3 didn't have amazes me.

Halo 2 wins hands down for me.

Count me out, too tired of these discussions. Wake me up when Halo players realize they're better off enjoying the games in the series they like instead of bickering why the other person is a moron for liking another.

Why would you ask this on H2 forums? It's a biased poll.

  • 06.28.2011 12:33 PM PDT

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

CEA will be better than both.

  • 06.28.2011 4:18 PM PDT

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

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

This is Halo 3

need I say more?

Well, I will since you won't. I downloaded it and watched in slow motion. You get six full shots (18 or 19 bullets) off before you die. Your first shot is below the player to the left (not even red in the ridicule). You attempt to sweep your second shot and overshoot to the right and above. Your third shot was behind the player moving in the opposite direction. Same with fourth shot, but now you compensate and are getting closer. Your fifth shot goes way right as you overcompensate. You recenter for your last shot, but the player jumps above causing you to hit his body with the sixth shot and one bullet from your unfinished seventh shot as you die. Sorry, but it takes more than one shot in the body to kill a one shot player. Try not to choke next time.

In other words you are bad.

I started like a year after halo 2 came out. I liked it, but the second I touched Halo 3 beta I knew the game was better. Halo 3 is the best.

>>ALERT<<

Class 1337 "noob sauce" inbound; Troll units cleared to engage.

I have to say that Halo 2 is, was, and most likely will forever be my all-time favorite. Halo 3 did indeed improve upon many gameplay aspects of Halo 2... but when it comes to this franchise I never really pay attention to that.

Halo 2 felt like a breath of fresh air, and felt so different from the first game - yet at the same time, it retained that Halo feel. Plus... I got to play as the freakin' Arbiter, and got to take a closer look into the actual Covenant faction. The Marine dialogue was kickass - even without IWHBYD - the Grunt were kinda cute, they nerfed the heck out of the pistol (yes, I consider that a good thing), the shotgun had MORE THAN SIX FRIGGIN' ROUNDS... Overall, I just loved that game so much.

Halo 3... eh. It felt a little too similar to the first game, and they didn't even have much involvement with the Elites. And they bumped Arbiter down to a freakin' sidekick. Honestly, I wouldn't have mind in the slightest if it was made its own game: more new themes than what the game had, a focus on... the Forerunner themselves, I guess... and I also wouldn't have mind if they didn't turn the Grunts into freakin' demons.

That last part isn't as bad as it is in Reach, mind you, but still.

So, all in all... I much prefer Halo 2 to Halo 3; that said, I still like Halo 3 very much.
