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.

I just wanted to get some views on the beta, because I never got to play it. I hear a mix of things from good to bad so I really do not know what to think. What were the pros and cons in your opinion? What changed for the better and what changed for the worst when comparing it to the final game?

Youtube it.

I never played it, but I do know that it was a fair bit different. I think the BR spread was a bit looser, the trip mines were like nuclear bombs on the ground, the laser had spread, so you could swipe it as it fired and hit multiple targets and the sniper had a smoke trail similar to H2.

That's what I've taken from other people's insight and videos on youtube.

Ah trip mines...

They insta-kill vehicles and actually STICK to vehicles. So glorious. So powerful.

It was great fun, a fair different experience from the Halo 3 as we know it. As someone mentioned, the trip mines had crazy splash damage and a few weapons handled very differently to how they do now. Things such as the Spartan Laser reticule were also changed but all in all, most of the changes were for the better.
