Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

Halo 2, hands down. More original, better maps, a real ranking system and the hit detection didn't totally suck.

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

I've gotta say, I had more fun wacky times in Halo 2.

Wacky is a good description, if nothing else there was always something wacky and fun happening.

Halo 3 is the game where nobodies became somebody. That's why all the kids like it the most.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

halo 2 because it had a campaign and multiplayer. halo 3s campaign was good (not mindblowing like halo c.e or 2) but still ok but the campaign was terrible which dissapointed me because the campaign is half of the game so i didnt get my moneys worth.

halo 2 had a far better pistol then halo 3 as well: low range, medium damage, high ROF - how a pistol is meant to be + its design was cool as well. halo 3s pistol really should of had a higher rof, the pistols design was terrible.
the needler was ruined in halo 3, so easy to kill someone with itm i miss dual wielding it

halo 2 had the most bada55 elites! http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Councilor halo 3 elites look too robotic but reach elites are plain -BLAM!- http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Sangheili_General so elites in halo 3wernt as inspiring and intimidating as they were in halo 2.

same thing can be said for brutes, halo 2 brutes were better because they were more aggressive and harder to kill which made halo 2 more fun. they are not as crazy as they are in halo 3 (didnt mind them wearing armour but the fact they shaved their fur of ruined them)

many other reasons why 2 is better. only thing i can think of thats better in 3 are the marines faces improved graphics

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

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

Sorry your opinion is invalid. Talk to me when you are remotely close to my level ma'am. oh and BTW hiding behind a stat padded account just makes you look like a bigger loser than you already are, doesn't make you look cool sorry LOL.

LMAO, now I know you're lying Just went on H3 just to watch the clip in Slowmo and 3 bursts hit him in the head when he had NO SHIELD, 9 seperate blood squirts and he lives. lol Halo 3tards will try to defend anything

Hiding behind a stat padded account? I did not play social to pad EXP and stats. I did it to get achievements. Also, I'm not lying, and I described it exactly how it happened. If you hit him with a bullet here and there to the body that don't matter. Point is you didn't land three bullets to the head, therefore he's not going to die! Maybe you should work on your BR before claiming that I'm not up to your level coz clearly you are not up to mine!

Watched it in the theater, 9 clean hits on a shieldless opponent in the chest and head and with blood coming out.

Fact. Maybe you should consider getting a thicker set of glasses :D.

And Im a higher level than you in every Halo game. lol nice job trying to play at low ranks and stat pad. hahaha, pathetic. Call me when you get past level 10, or even get rated in the arena.

Oh nice boosting in campaign, I guess boosting with the target designator in campaign is considered skill to a Reachtard...

All my opinion.

No. By "finishing the fight" you mean a lame ending to a retarded campaign that resulted in another cliffhanger and unnecessary deaths of two, awesome supporting characters. You are correct about the sword, however h3 introduced a new sword: double melee. Ridiculous, two-hit kill, infinite ammo fist of mass destruction. CQC maps were never so predictable, dull, and flat out moronic.

The H2 shotgun and h3's shotgun have no range due to balance. If the shotguns had long range and kept their damage they'd be ridiculous. If they had long range but no damage it'd be a waste of time. Due to h3's mind-numbingly slow paced gameplay the shotgun rendered the sword and hammer borderline useless. I'd also like to add the H1 shotgun had good range and had decent damage at said range.

h3 definitely did not combine the best elements of the previous games. Let's look; H1 and H2 had good weapon diversity. Dual wielding wasn't entirely useless thus the PR, SMG, and even the needler could be successfully used. In H1 the AR and PR also saw action. The needler was the only lacking weapon in H1 yet it could be used. h3 saw a bunch of reskinned ARs with more disadvantages.

The spiker had a stupidly short range due to a retardedly unrealistic bullet drop. The PR isn't hitscanned which means shorter range and a lot of missed shots even at close ranged. Dual wielding isn't a viable option since, if I recall correctly, the weapons become weaker when dual'd plus you lose melee and grenades. As I said before, melee is ridiculously OP in h3 and h3 made kamikaze plasma sticking infamous, so dual wielding gives you a lot of disadvantages and didn't help the game's terrible weapon balance.

Another thing h3 butchered: vehicles. As if the lock-on rocket wasn't enough they added the laser. In any map with the laser, which was ALL(correct me if I'm wrong) of the major vehicle maps, vehicles were worthless. The laser was either hitscan or very close to hitscan and resulted in the instant death of anything it touched. Before you say the laser pointer balances it out: it doesn't. You can do a number of things to hide it, such as aiming behind the target and than flicking to it or aiming at an object close to you, then flicking to the target. With vehicles you can't even respond to the pointer. You're target is so big and it has to just graze you in order to kill you that you're better off getting out of the vehicle and bunny hopping away.

/rant
I could go on in more detail as to why h3 is terrible and is inferior to H2, H1, and(imo) reach but this wall is already big enough and my opinion has been made obvious. This is all my humble opinion, of course.

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.

You might not know this, but you come off as a bit of a nerd. I posted a detailed explanation of why your clip is wrong. You shot six and 1/3 shots, not nine, dear. Disregarding it and making up lies will not make the FACT that you are bad go away.

I was achievement hunting and one thing you have to do is get a commendation to silver. Who cares if I used the target location glitch for 20 minutes? I don't see how that makes me bad for using a well advertised glitch.

Higher level in every halo game? I thought the only halo games that have levels are halo 2 and 3. Rank in reach means nothing and I'm pretty sure Halo 1 had no sort of rank considering it's offline. Halo ODST has no rank either. Where are you going with your level meaning anything? It means you play too much if you ask me to where you had to get a level so you can use it as a last resort in a defeated argument.

Also, I didn't bring up my stats, but how are they padded? I boosted some achievements and that's about it. I wasn't bragging about my stats, but they must be better than any you ever had, seeing how butthurt you are over it.

Before spilling your anger, try to keep it original. Using the same argument post to post won't convince me that your intelligent or reasonable. You come off as a bit of a raging nerd.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Halo 2's campaign wins. I love the Halo 2 graphics and Engine, they are so detailed yet not very detailed. The weapons all serve a purpose, and the need to win is still alive and thriving.

Halo 3's Multiplayer has been a good friend, but it can never achieve the greatnest Turf was for me.

My vote goes to Halo 2, I had alot more fun playing it than Halo 3. Plus I found the campaign to be better than Halo 3 as well. For some reason I even played custom games more than Halo 3 as well, Halo 2 just had more remorable moments to me.

  • 07.04.2011 8:50 AM PDT

The best thing that describes me is "Awsome" just like you my dear friend!

For me I just had a PC and PS3, I never played Halo 3 but I have played Halo 1 and 2 but it looked like Halo 3 had the elements of Halo 1 and 2 combined and even better with an addon of the ODST for Halo 3. So basically Halo 3 wins. But Halo 2 is getting back and has more players again, cause people want to see the past of which is better some like Halo 3 and some dont. So I just say pick which one you think you want for it to be most enjoyable.

Sincerly, Alexander

What the hell do you mean presidency? Literally as in we had a good President of the United States at the time they were released? Or perhaps released under great precedence?

Make that 61.

Unless we got some zealots on here making multiple votes, it looks like Halo 2 and Halo 3 considered equal. Or people just like both.
