Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

One of my personal favorites is the gargoyle on Backwash. Not too many know about that.

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

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

Agreed, easter eggs and superbounces made the Halo 2 maps more interesting and fun.

Yea, but I don't get what that has to do with map load times

  • 07.22.2011 6:57 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

yeah also there are so many paintings, engravings, patters, on rocks and walls and ground (sometimes in the sky) it would take ages to document them all. I.e. I found one on Ivory Tower just a few days ago, I passed it like a million times (this edge of a wall) never seeing this smiley face. Pretty cool stuff.

it has nothing to do with it but since easter eggs were mentioned earlier i decided to post my opinions on how interesting they were

@ nightsnipe - We do tend to drift a bit after the initial posts. I mean, how many ways can you talk about a game loading faster or not. Because it's an old forum the Ninja's do give a little slack as to staying on topic. We are more like a social club than than just H2 players. As long as we have fun, who cares?

agreed, as long as we have fun, I've seen an Easter egg where the clouds on halo form a face, not sure which mp map it was though. I'm gonna look it up unless someone already know it. if not I'll give a link when I find it

Here is that Gargoyle Grumps, but you should you load up H2 and go find it yourself as it is easy to find and get to. I couldn't find any videos on it, but then again I didn't look around too hard =)

Lol, thx SPB, all my xboxes are down otherwise I would go find it. I didn't know about this, I guess everyone else did.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

The other titles your mentioned tended to have a lot more tape and bubble wrap than Halo 2. What I mean is that the increase of pixels, detailing, feats, etc. are multipliers to the decrease in game play speed. While you could get out of the maps, and thus, venture unto greater distances in Halo 2, the larger area does not mean the larger mission area.

The other titles shrank in game speed as well as size. The one thing the had greater was supplemental data. While my personal opinion is against it, this data explains why those games hinder your progress.

That all sounds good to me but what I want to know is why the 360 loads H2 a lot slower than the original box, a lot slower. I thought newer equipment would mean faster processing but I'm guessing I'm missing something.

Halo 2 maps had to fit in 64mb of ram.

Halo 3/Halo Reach fill up 512mb of ram. Now do you know why the maps load faster?

"No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great—Duty First!" - The fighting first's motto.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

lol they don't load faster on my HDD, it's screwed up, but i got it used so i guess i got what i paid for. But I suppose it depends on your hard drive.

TEAM Free For All? I can't wait to see how Bungie pulls this one off.

Yeah, it's awesome. Legendary Brawl is the world's only 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 team multiplayer experience.

Halo 2 had smaller maps....a LOT smaller (in terms of actual size of the .map file). Halo 3 maps were bigger and Reach maps are incredibly big compared to Halo 2. Reach maps are at least 100 MB each and the biggest Halo 2 multiplayer map was only like 60 MB.

Plus Halo 2 loads maps differently then Reach. In matchmaking they load after the countdown and in Reach they load directly after the map is picked.

Every old H2 player should know about that. It was a great place to hide in hide and seek custom games on Backwash (pretty much the only thing Backwash was good for).
