Subject: My REVISED opinion of Halo 2

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Halo CE is a bullcrap game, really.

Yes, it was brilliant in 2001, but this is 2011, so we have to stop judging it like its still 2001. The truth is, while it may have been the first of its kind, the game is a pile of crap.

Even back then, couldnt people have realised that when people want to play shooter games, they want to shoot, fight and have FUN. They dont want to navigate through a horrible, dull boring maze. Navigating through first person mazes is not fun. If people want to play maze games, let them do so, but do not trick us into playing maze games by labelling it as a shooter and adding in guns which hardly get used a few enemies here and there.

Thats why i think Halo CE is a digital piece of crap, and Halo 2 and upwards where a MASSIVE improvement from this.

And people should stop blaming Halo 3 for being too linear. At least it is actually a shooter game. It has a lot of enemies and guns which actually get used. Who cares if its linear, you shoot things, its a shooter game, therefore it fulfils its purpose as a SHOOTING SHOOTER SHOOT game.

As an FPS enthusiast, i would rather play a fun linear game where you shoot things rather than a crappy first person maze game with guns thrown in.

Mar V Guy your opinions of HALO Combat Evolved seem to be about the campaign and i somewhat agree. the campaign is quite overrated, the main reason people hold the original above others is because of the nostalgic gameplay during the games prime.
having to play half of a level in reverse was quite lazy of BUNGiE lol, however the games ground breaking graphics, weapon designs, enemy designs etc. made me overlook it so:
HALO Combat Evolved's story was dry, straight foward but the gameplay was spot on.

as for the multiplayer, i'll be damn if you didn't like it or hated it Mark V Guy, i know we all have different opinions but there is something worng with you if you didn't like it at the time.

as for HALO 3, the only problems i had with it are simalar to HALO Combat Evolved: no more main characters.
the music was disappointing excluding farthest outpost and the cutscenes lacked character excluding the second last cutscene of the covenant.

not sure about you guys but a major blow to the campaign was how the brutes have changed: they're not as aggressive and dangerous like in HALO 2, they don't do combos while berserking, they don't charge at you like a wild ape. miss how terrifying they were in HALO 2 lol.
ah well, maybe it's just because we want to play the same old thing over and over again.

Yeah IKR, Halo CE campaign is totally overrated and crap

Never played MP, i take it the servers are down for that as well?

And as for Halo 3 brutes, i suppose they are pretty easy to kill, but maybe in a way it shows the brutes have completely replaced elites as the civilised leaders of the covenant army

However, some of the music could be a little less cringe worthy /cheesy, such as the final banshee battle on the Arbiter. However, the tune from the level Delta Halo, when you are fighting all the Jackal snipers on the tree branches, i really like that one.


You mean, this one? i'm not sure if that's it or not, but it is a good track! :D

Yeah, Amber Clad is my favourite Halo 2 soundtrack

But the soundtrack for the Arbiter banshee fight is terrible, and sadly kind of sops me from taking this section of the mission seriously :(

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.

Lol, ok I don't understand something.

First off, you blast Halo 2 in every single negative way and make two topics that pretty much just bash the -blam!- out of H2 and praise H3 to be the greatest game ever made without ever playing Combat Evolved. Which is cool, it is all opinion and preference.

But then you come back and call Halo 2 the "mona lisa of games" and then go over to the Combat Evolved Forum and bash that game (in a very similar way you did on this forum) and call Halo 2 a masterpiece?

I can't take any of your posts seriously. Sorry, but you will always be a troll to me.

Because

I played Halo 2 again and thought it was great

TBH, now that i look back and analyse why i thought that od Halo 2, its because of Sacred Icon and Quarantine Zone driving me up the wall more than anything

Its actually a splendid game

And I am done bashing CE, but you wont change my mind for now about it
