In my opinion, I think it lacked in many ways compared to the other titles. A lot of people seem to try to bully this game down my throat as the greatest game of all time. Not only do I think it is the worst halo game, but I wouldn't put it in the top 50 games I own. Feel free to link this poll to friends.

I'm unsure how anyone could agree to disagree with this.

Nope it is probably the best because of its great maps and core gameplay.

Shorty, why do you come here? I'd like a well thought out answer to that. It's obvious why we are here but I've never in my entire gaming life gone to a website of a game a hate and posted there about how much I hate that game. What is your motivation in being here? Do you expect to accomplish some goal?

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

You're bad, kid.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

While not the best Halo game of all, Halo 2 is still amazing, hands down. The title of best goes to Halo 3, IMO.
I think it goes like this:
Halo 3>Halo CE/Halo 2>Halo 3: ODST>Halo Reach>Halo Wars

Halo 2 is the best game in the series for competitive gaming. Hands down ask any pro they will agree. The talent it took to play that game was tremendous. And it also helped that the creation of the game had a ton of flaws. As is sword canceling, super bouncing, bxr, bxb, and double shots. and if you dont know what any of that stuff is you have no room to post on this thread and talk badly about the game because you simply never played it except for campaign.

Ok, Dan, if you dislike the game no one here is telling you to even be in this forum, why are you here?

Halo 2 for Life!

I think your the worst person to ever step foot in the halo 2 forum for even suggesting such treason!!!!

Disagree!!!!

- Against the moa burger since 7.7.11.

I know that this has been mentioned numerous times but: scroll to the top of the page. What does it say? Everything you LIKE and LOVE about Halo 2. Just putting it out there like the past 30 people did. In case you didn't know it's right below the halo 2 fourm banner.

Shut up, Massy.

Halo 2 was rather fun, I won't deny that. But the gameplay and Campaign, frankly, felt rather forced. I'm glad Halo 3 saved the series.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

We were not able to find any record of Halo 2 activity for this player. This player may not have played Halo 2 while connected to Xbox Live.

I liked H3 but it just didn't stick in my head like CE and then more so with H2. It's still Halo so......

Exactly. Halo 3 took away the control from the player and made the levels way too hazardous (i.e. scenery splatter).

In CE, on the Silent Cartographer, when the Pelican dropped off the Warthog, if you stood right under the Warthog, it wouldn't drop it.

In 3, on The Covenant, when the Pelican drops off the Scorpion, it doesn't even notice that you're standing right under it.

Friendly AI in 3 and Reach go full throttle with vehicles (especially the Warthog), which is exactly what happens in CE and Halo PC if you didn't use scripting after enabling marines to drive.

Unlike the friendly AI driving in Halo 2, which was mostly scripted, they did the opposite and gave the AI less stricter scripting. As a result, we get idiotic AI driving off cliffs, crashing into allies, etc.

They wanted to make the enemy AI more unpredictable. What they actually did was make the friendly AI unpredictable and the enemy AI predictable. And that just ruined my experience. I want control over my marines if I can't have control over my enemies. If I can't control my marines, how will I control my enemies when I want to manipulate them?

When marines aren't around, I find managing the situation concerning the enemy much more easier.

Here's an example of Brute AI control. You must have all Elites in the tower IIRC.

Stepping on the elevator spawns the Brutes and makes them go towards the door. I can either intercept them or go through the door will stop them and make them turn around, after which I can go ahead of them and ambush them or assassinate them one by one.

Activating the elevator makes Arby and his Elites go to their usual waiting spot and the Brutes will come through the door and then walk around aimlessly. I can either intercept them or wait in hiding and then ambush them one at a time.

I have full control. There's a similar scenario in the first tower.
