Subject: Halo 2 had the best emblems

From Halo 3 onward the colour scheming has sucked hard. Take my emblem for example, very simplistic yet impossible to duplicate in the following Halo games.

So what was your H2 emblem like, and can you make it in Halo3/Reach?

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

If I wasn't using the classic Smiling Twins, I usually used something like the Delta on the X1 or X2 background. I don't remember which X was which. And I often changed the Delta to something else whenever I felt like it. None of the backgrounds in Halo 3 or Reach look like the old X backgrounds and it makes me sad faced. Halo 2 had the best emblem options.

EDIT: If you click the smiling twins emblem link and change the number values, you can make any emblem you want. Thought that was cool. The first number is the size of the emblem and you can go as big as about 120. Some of the numbers you can't edit or it won't work, but they all relate to a color or emblem option.

Halo 2 emblems were the best for in-game for two reasons:
1)Unlike Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, H2 emblems had a "glow" and could be seen on a player's back and shoulders.
2) Emblems were used identify a player, not Service Tags like in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach.
Those two reasons alone made your emblem feel unique and special.

My Halo 2 emblem was the same as my Bungie.net member avatar

I couldn't recreate my H2 emblem in H3, because H3 did not have the "Three Quarters" background image. I cannot recreate my H2 emblem in Reach, because Reach does not have the Brute Head symbol. Super weak.

Fun Fact: Sergeant, Waypoint, Cleave, and Race were Halo 2 exclusive emblems and never returned.

"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

They took out the trident in Reach for some reason.
