I absolutely love Halo 2. Hands down the best one in the series, mainly because it wins massively over CE in terms of multiplayer.
Its story was deep and intruiging. Definatly not something like any other shooter. It brought so much depth to the series, its a real shame H3 completely let down in that category.
Arbiter was perhaps the best move Bungie made in terms of a introducing a new character. He allowed for the Covies point of view to be shown which resulted in the far greater depth and a more personal story opposed to Chiefs "duty calls" story.
Level design was a bit meh to be honest. It has the most levels and most are a joy to play. Mainly because the variety in scenery is probably the biggest in the series. But it sometimes got a bit too linear.
And on top of that: THAT MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!
Only bad map in that game was Backwash and thats because its immense lagging. But there litterally was no map in that game that I disliked. All straight up classics. Another thing the Halo series lacked after H2: epic maps like Headlong, Turf, Ascension, Terminal, Containment etc etc.
Yes there were glitches. But to be honest, the only ones truely messing things up were the standby-cheaters. The other glitches, super jumps, getting out of maps etc made the multiplayer so incredibly fun (on top of how much fun it was by its self already). Clans: great! Teamwork: always, unlike these days.
Legendary was a pain in the @$$ tho...really annoying. Never finished that one on Legendary.
But apart from some minor things: Halo at its best and in its heydays, an absolute masterpiece.
