Suck it Red!

At least in respect to campaign. I just beat the game on Heroic and I hated the few levels that you play as the arbiter against the flood in the middle of the game. I didn't like them back in the day and I still don't. They soured what otherwise would have been a great campaign, but because of that I think Halo CE's campaign was better overall. While I played H2's multiplayer online, I never got to play it during its heyday but I still have fond memories of many a good time enjoyed in split screen.

Did you guys hate those middle levels too or was it just me?

I didn't mind those levels with the flood as the arbiter since it seemed to fit in ok. However it did kinda get annoying, but active camo was always useful so it made it endurable.

Only thing that made me angry was the cliffhanger ending and the lack of this mission.http://youtu.be/K_y3cbIV-Xg

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

I would believe that, but I seen the same link, by the same person, on a different topic. I also prefer to be on the safe side.

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

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

The beginning of the campaign was -blam!- amazing.

The last half and ending were bad though IMO.

Must have missed the fact that the video is relevant to both threads.

Blasphemy. Halo 2 had the best, most thoughtful campaign, even if it was not technically developed as much. Of course, this is my opinion, and you may choose to disagree.

I liked the last few missions the best in the entire game.

Legends are Born. I am Legend. Halo Legend

Personally I thought the whole game was just flatout amazing. The flood missions did get repetitive a bit but not let us forget the mission Cortana in Halo 3. That was true terror. As for the end, I really liked it. It got me excited for the upcoming Halo 3

I still remember the first time playing Cairo station in year 7, as soon as I dual wielded 2 SMGs, my mind was blown away. i didn't know i wasnt suppose to go near the door which the covy blasted open so I died lol. using the halo 2 pistol was also exciting as well! that weapon is awesome. 'i don't believe it they're retreating we won - BOOM!... oh no, this is bad'

good times huh

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

You are a dumbass, it's a valid link. Youtu.be is used to shorten URLs.

OP, I agree. The first Arbiter levels suck massive donkey dick.

I loved all of the Campaign including being an Elite. I got used to hearing my hoofs clop along and screwing with my covenant bros.

I didn't mind those levels because it was actually interesting to fight the flood from the Covenant side. Although some of the encounters were far from fun, it was still overall intersting and enjoyable.

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.

Yes.

quarantine zone was a fun level, making your way through flood, enforcer senintels, wraiths and ghosts. combat forms which wielded rocket launchers always took me by suprise so i had to be extra careful when i clear the area

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

For its time Halo 2 was the most in to detail game, the game grahpics where unreal even for the xbox.
