Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

*Looks at Reach*

You sure about that?

Heh. If Halo:CE had Live all these kids saying H2 is the best game would be saying H2 is the worst game in the series.

Is that how you live your life, generalizing everything to fit your version of reality?

Is how you live your life basing opinions on nonexistant facts? Do you force all the bad things about this game out of your head and glorify the few good features of this game?

If you simply call this game fun then do you realy consider massive amounts of aim assist, mods, glitches, button combos that give kills to those who don't deserve them, and a horrible excuse for a campaign fun?

If so then you must have some very weird sense of "fun".

Yup, it's fun to me so I play it and I come to a forum where others have fun playing it. I don't go to another forum and bash a game that I hate, unlike people like you. There's no point in that unless you are a troll.

Why do you come here?

When you waste money on somthing this is apsolutely horrible (Halo 2) and then waste money on it again because you were told that it got better (Halo 2 vista) then it is very difficult to be happy about that.

Lol, nobody is forcing you to be unhappy, it's a matter of perspective. What I'm curious about is why you are so driven to come here and bash? You are not happy being here and this exchange is not making you any happier so why spend your time here?

  • 08.13.2011 1:47 PM PDT

I "bash" here because most of the people that actualy like this game use nonexistant facts to describe why they like it.

Them: "This game is very competitive and hard to be good at."

Camping in a corner or spraying with the BR that has enough aim assist to aim for you is not hard. Most of the people that say this would more then likely fail at games that are actualy competitive. (Halo 1, Counter Strike, Wolfenstein, ect. ect.

Them: "The campaign is longer than any of the others in the series."

15 levels that can be completed in less then 10 minutes each compared to Halo 1's ten 30+ minute long levels that were actualy somwhat difficult.

Them: "The campaign is much more detailed then Halo 1."

The campaign covers more aspects of the story, but explians almost none of it. The books and comics were left to do that.

Them: "I AM SOO UBER PRO WITH MY BR!!!!"

You are good with one of the most overpowered weapons in FPS history. I am so proud of you.


Its things like this that annoy me to death.

You didn't answer my question, why do you spend your time here when you could be in the CE forum having fun with a game you love? Instead, you troll here and you are not happy.

There's a good percentage of people on this forum that like CE better than H2, but they don't feel the need to bash.

You can list things you personally don't like about H2 or the people here all you want but when the day is done, most of us here like H2. We like the glitches and we like what you don't like, why is that such a problem with you?

Really??

I thought it was the best. Probably nostalgia though :/

Its good, but it's not the best. Personally, i would put Reach or Halo 3 as the worst (although still good). Halo CE started it all for me, felt great, Halo PC carries that on nicely with MP. Halo 2, despite it's flaws (Cliffhanger ending, button combo's and the slightly over the top aim assist) had something the other Halo games didnt have, fluidity and fun. It felt faster paced, with better maps and no gimmiky things such as AA and Equipment.

So at least in my opinion, Halo 2 wasn't the worst, but not the best game ever as some people may put forward.

  • 08.13.2011 5:24 PM PDT

So, you guys are talking about the PC Halo games, right? how do they play vs the Xbox version?

have you even tried the campaign on legendary, it takes hours to finish levels yet you think C.E's campaign was somewhat difficult? you dont even have to try in C.E.
i'll admit aiming was more difficult in other HALO games, particularly getting headshots with the sniper but 2 had the hardest enemies.
elites:
- sticking them wont kill them instantly
- they dont do that action were they growl and stop attacking when you stick them
- a charged pp bolt doesn't stun them any which gave you a quick chance for a headshot

jackals:
- now use beam rifles with killer accuracy

flood:
- can now sprint
- can berserk
- an infectious form can reanimate a fallen combat form costing you more ammo

brutes:
- i don't have to explain why brutes are hard, do i?

didn't HALO 2 "explian" why the covy hate humans and why they worship the rings. it went deeper into the story by showing the covys politics, homeworld (high charity at least), different factions (heretics and the loyalists who eventually split forming the separatists)...

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

I'm going to put a Pokemon VS Digimon poll on a Pokemon fansite too. Guess which one will win?

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


Amazing!

Halo 3 was the worst, both in MP and single player.

I would say Halo 3 is the worst in terms of MP because they require having all of the paid dlc's just to play the good playlists. ODST's campaign was the worst so far due to its short gameplay.

As cheap as they may have been, at least they were still beatable, unlike Reach, where everything is against you.

That's what I love about them. You have to improvise.

Yes, it is

  • 08.16.2011 9:57 PM PDT

Yes, I did make that mess. What are you going to do about it?

Halo 2 was the best of them all for many reasons.
1. You didn't just shoot everything that moves in Halo CE, You can run its ass over in a warthog.
2. The glitches, enough said?
3. Your Spartan looked like they were in a fight unlike in Halo 3 or Halo CE.
4. The Brute could/would go ape-blam!-, which was funny as hell.
5. Scarab Gun, Didn't do that in Halo CE, Halo 3, or Reach now did they?
