Subject: For the sake of discussion...

What is your favorite aspect of halo 2 that adds to the fundamental game itself?

Mine would be the jumping. Bungie nailed the height and speed of jumping along with a few "bugs" that allow for even more fun. You may say that loving jumping is weird, but it is just so fun.

The glitches. It's debatable whether or not they're good for competitive play, but they're sure as hell fun. That's what always kept me coming back to the game at least.

Agreed.

They weren't the main traction for me per se, but they sure added some aspects to the game that would be unforgettable.

Fada beo Halo 2!

The easter eggs were a nice step up for the exploring, there's just something about being able to go out and find stuff.

Halo 2 itself and being the second addition to the series.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

the m6c pistol. the first time I played HALO 3 made me realize how much I (and poroblaly a few other players who appreciated it) took it for granted. a more popular weapon: the sword, HALO 2 has the best sword in the series so far, after te release if each game, it gets worse

I personally felt the Sword was the worst in Halo 2. Completely over-powered with how it had infinite charge. Thought it was quite a silly move, to be honest.

I liked the range, but not the charge.

H2 sword has infinite charge? Are you sure you're not referring to the practice of severely damaging an enemy/knocking out shield with the sword then finishing off with a normal melee?

Imo, I think the sword is versatile, just the way it should be. Against H3 Flood, I just use standard melees because the shotty and sword are underpowered.

The Energy Sword in Halo 2 did in fact have an infinite charge. What I mean by that is that when you lunge at people, hit, and kill them, it does not lose power. This means you can go around with it the entire game as long as you don't die.

If you didn't know that you shouldn't feel like you have a good opinion on whether or not the Energy Sword in Halo 2 was the best one (Multiplayer wise). It shows you don't know what you're talking about in that regard. (No offense)

I knew as soon as I posted that you'd agree with me. :D

Can't argue with that. Reach's would look better if they weren't as... slouched? I always felt the Halo 2 elites looked magnificent. Probably the best design out of any of the bipeds in Halo 2.

I was referring to the campaign as you can see by the Flood reference. I didn't know there was a major difference between campaign and multiplayer swords. Sorry about that. None taken.

xD Yeah, I kind of figured at some points you were talking about Campaign. Sorry for being so blunt, by the way. It's one of those things that can be good or bad about my personality. :X

I'm a campaign enthusiast. Today, I have a new fear: fear of Councilors. You guys will see why soon.

Not a problem. Everyone has negative traits. For instance, I'm conceited. :P

another amazing aspect of HALO 2 was the soundtrack:
impend, mombasa suite, the last spartan, peril, earth city, halo theme (mjolner mix) and the title menu music which i forgot the name of are one of the best songs i've heard in a game.

i suppose ONE good thing about reach where a few songs from its soundtrack, nothing special about HALO 3's soundtrack

"never make a girl a promise if you know you can't keep it"
"classified my ass! well you cam forget about those modifications to your a2 scope"
"fate had us meet as foes, but this ring will make us all brothers"

My favorite-

"It's terror!"

"Marines, did I give you permission to -blam!-?"
