But that is just weapon setup. I don't know what splockets is, but it sounds like one of Bungies silly matchmaking setups.

A lot of Halo 2's matchmaking was unbalanced, but hardcore did a lot of things better, and MLG had much much better balance.


Splockets was an Action Sack gametype. All Rockets and Spartan Lasers. Even playing field. Completely unbalanced.

Hardcore and MLG provided more weapon balance, but the problem with H2 didn't lie there; the core mechanics were severely flawed as evidenced by the amount of rage videos on YouTube.

I think we have to agree on disagreeing. I found the core to be pretty much perfect.
There is a few things i would tweek though, like reducing the autoaim and melee launch.
It's true there are a rage videos providing valid complaints, but none that proves the game is unbalanced.
And if MLG uses the game in turnaments, it really can't be that bad at all.

All players had Auto aim, Aim assist, could DS, BxR, Swipe snipe and use the PR/green gun combo.
Thats what i meant with an even playing field. It dosen't really make the game harder or easiere, because all players had the same tools. But the players skills is what determined who would win the game.


Host has better autoaim and everything appears as it is becuase there is no lag. It makes all the little things fit in easier such as swipe sniping. You can not really notice it because of how massive and common it is, but the host in Halo 2 especially has a huge advantage in all areas of gameplay.

The host had the same amount of auto aim and aim assist.

I don't recall saying Halo 2 didn't have a host advantage, quite opposite actually.

The same thing can be said for Reach as well, and now look at all the forum complaints.

Even H2 recieved masssive rage, remember Halo2Sucks.com?
And the rage for H3 was so out-of-control that Bungie decided to make a "BR/AR" thread to stop the forums from being flooded with complaints.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Halo2sucks.com was from Halo 1 players who were mad they changed the game from Halo 1 gameplay.

Each series of games as they've been released has been given backlash one form or another.

MLG plays the game on LAN. Host has no advantage on LAN. Some even say on LAN that host has a disadvantage.

If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

So how much fun did you have circle boosting to your 50?

Halo 2? massive host advantage? hahahahahahaha!!!!! The only game that describes massive host advantage is Halo 3. Halo 2 and Reach use hitscan on main weapons and therefor connection is not an issue as much as in Halo 3. The shotgun in Halo 2 is the only weapon that can truely be described as "host advantage"

Just because you were a 50 does not mean that you did not circle boost to get it. We are saying you are most likely not legit.

*Facepalm*

It's pretty obvious Halo 2 had huge host advantage. You just proved my point. See for those blind to the host advantage you can still tell with the shotgun. Obviously if the shotgun is easier than everything is easier. That is a fact and you can see it if you pay attention to the sniper, too. Hitscan does not remove host advantage. Saying that bullet magnatism and hitboxes are the same for host just proves you have no idea about what you are talking about. Lag was worse in Halo 2 than 3 which only increases host advantage. Halo 3 has a melee host advantage, but the host's gun advantage is a lot more minimal than Halo 2.

Bullets that do not travel at infinite speed = severly affected by connection. The fact the my BR bullets do not register a lot on Halo 3 is enough to know that Halo 3 is too connection reliant. It may be fine on LAN but on XBL it is terrible. This problem never happened to me on Halo 2. And it is pretty obvious that shotgun is the only weapon more powerful on host in Halo 2. Unless you want to tell me that host can kill someone with the BR in less than 4 shots which does not happen.

Ok now that im unbanned from the forums lol.... i can reply.

To who ever saying he was a 36 or something in H2 and only got to a 45 in H3.

Did you circle boost it? Did you get it after H3 came out? After the new game comes out for that franchise most of the good players leave and follow the new game, so its easier to rank up.
Im not trying to insult or anything. I just know for a fact a H2 30 was a decent H3 50.

H3's ranking system wasn't all too great either, the more you lost the harder it was to rank up.
Your post confuses me saying H2 was the easiest, when you were a lower rank in it? Yes it had its flaws, yes it had a lot of "noob friendly" game mechanics. It still had one of the biggest skill gaps.

A lot of people hate button combos or super jumping but don't realize the time, practice an skill involved to master them. While yes some combos were easy to get down, same with jumps but the harder, more effective ones took a lot more time an skill to get down an actually use efficiently and effectively.

No you couldn't 3 shot someone with the BR in H2 if you were host, they did register easier though. Its been too long i don't exactly remember how to explain what happens with Host on H2, maybe someone else does. The only thing i know that happened on H2 for host was that the shotgun had a lot further range and killed a lot easier. Also i believe sniper went longer range?

All you did was circle boost, page 19 is a different lobby, any pages before that im not checking, you probably started jumping lobby to lobby getting free wins. Page 22 has a lot of circled games. The typical circle boosting lobby.

1

2

3 a lot more games on page 22 shall i go on?


Edit:

heres a game where you needed to lose, same people youve been winning against, shocker, shocking that the 49/50 on the losing team is always different from someone from the winning team

WTF? Circle boost? Sorry, I didn't even know what that was until I googled it a few days ago. Only extreme geeks would ever circle boost.

Halo 2 was way easier in my opinion. Also, I played more H2 than H3.

That may be true, i don't really remember. There was a Halo 2 hater webpage.

But im affraid i don't really see your point.

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

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

The fact that you couldn't even get a 50 in Halo 3 proves your H2 50 is as unlegit as they come

  • 07.14.2011 10:27 AM PDT

If you couldn't get a legit 50 in H3 then you suck so bad You're opinion is null to me.

If you think my Reach K/D is bad, it's because I play the one playlist that requires 2 hands to win in.

If you think you're better than me, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 me. And we'll see what happens ;).

but this is all you need to know about me

I was a 30 in H2 and multiple 50's in H3.... A halo 2 30 = a halo 3 50.

Button combos are what made such a good skill gap. It wasn't like bad kids could learn a button combo and instantly be amazing and pwn every game. Quadshotting wasn't too effective unless you could claw or timed it perfectly into your B.R. battle, usually it was more efficient to simply shoot consistently.

Button combos simply made the good players even better and adding some much needed depth to the game.

here is the linkfor all you lazy ppl out there..

after that game i got my "50" along with my celebrity status..

did i boost? of course..

it was IMPOSSIBLE to earn a 50 without boosting..due to the rarity of the rank and the skill gap difference..

infact i know personally about 90% of all team slayer leaderboards were boosters

of course with the exception os StK OGRE1 and 2, along with hotshy and other actual pros

those were the good ole days..im just happy i got a chance to expeience them

How is this supposed to be an accomplishment in any way? I got to 40 in snipers and would get absolutely waxed by legit 44-48 range. Those guys didn't boost for their ranks.

Just sayin.

  • 07.22.2011 11:06 AM PDT

I think the only people who ever got legit 50's got them in team snipers. Near impossible in the other playlists, although I got relatively close in team slayer.

It's probably due to the fact that H2 was the easiest Halo of all time (IMO)

i found it easier to get headshots in 2 then any other halo game

BR + Hitscan = LOL
