No, we are definitely lumped together. If you're a die hard H2 fan, you know you are. Who the -blam!- wants it changed? H3 came out and I accepted it...Oh okay, bubble shields, regens? Not so bad, not too different. Then the dimwits at bungie are like..."Ooh Halo Reach!, LETS PUT -blam!- JETPACKS AND INVINCIBILITY in!" -blam!- that bull-blam!-, they do it with every video game, in reality 75% of people that play video games suck terribly at them, so in order for game companies to make money, they have to make a game easy for everyone to play. I remember games of TS in H2 where my team would make new accounts and 50-0 level 1-5s. Can you do that in H3 or Reach? I don't think so. They ruined the game, end of story. Halo 2 WAS the end of the Halo series.
