Something I've always wondered is what was Halo 2 like during its prime? I got Xbox Live late 2007 so I missed out on most of the fun. (Only played 91 matches)

that's too bad, HALO 2 dominated in 2005, it was good in 2006 - 2007 until Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare surpassed it

"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

Didn't Call of Duty 2 surpass it first? I know that Gears of War did before Modern Warfare.

This for sure.

And it doesn't really matter what surpassed what, Halo 2 set the standard for online multiplayer console gaming.

Even though I despise the P2P multiplayer format with every fiber of my being, Bungie did find a great way to make it the best it could be. Kudos to them for that.

I wouldn't say Halo 2 have been surpassed in terms of gameplay even today. But if any game have, it's MW. I don't like the Cod games though.

Looking for clan that isn't too serious? Then join the ODST 501st Airborne Battalion. Go to http://www.501st.forumclan.com for more info.

I missed out on it all, and that really pissed me off. But I can always buy Halo 2 PC, and at least I got 2 years of Halo 3 multiplayer in!

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

It was swapping with Gears but Gears never held onto the lead.

MW came out in November 2007 so its comparison is for Halo 3.

Halo 2's prime was summer 05 to fall 2006. Nothing will top it for me. Had everything!

I remember the advertisements for Gears. One was a reviewer's quote saying "What's Halo?". Every time I saw it I wanted to throw my TV out of my window. Back then I was SO defensive of Halo. >.>

Lol I used to be the same but after playing Gears of War 1 a bit I really started to love that game. Even now Gears of War 1 and Halo 2 are still my favorite games to play.

Nice! I would occasionally play it with friends of mine, but I never really got into it. For the most part it was a great game, but I rather the Unreal Tournament series to it. :X

Check out My YouTube Channel. There's nothing on it right now, but subscribe and I will have a final H3 montage up before Reach comes out for sure!!

The gamertag linked to this account wasn't the one I played halo 2 with, but halo 2 was freaking awesome online. Clan battles were sweet until they took it out, and only the best of the best would actually get the highest levels (my highest was 40-something I think). I remember playing a LOT of customs like zombies and MLG-style games too... I miss those days :(

Ha ha, I didn't see this one. I could never decide which was better, Gears 1 or 2. I still play Insane once in a while. Halo 2 is my fav but CE and a game called Metal Arms - Glitch in the System are tied for a close second. I still play all four.

Metal Arms - Glitch in the System

I used to be an insane Metal Arms fan, knew everything to know about it. I still play it, but sadly most of my progress was lost due to my transition to an XBOX 360.

Yup, I could go on and on about that game. That little bot had some weapons, didn't he? Those Zombie Bots used to frighten me when I first played it, lol.

Also, on 'Nuts of Steel' difficulty, it's the hardest game ever made. Harder than H2 SLASO, imo. Nobody has ever beaten it on that difficulty.

Yeah they were pretty scary. But I soon found out that a high place and a scatter blaster (I think that's what the shotgun was called) took care of them.

As for Nuts Of Steel, that was insane. I made it only to the second mission before I couldn't bear it anymore.

Heh, 3rd level Scatter Blaster FTW! The 3rd level RL was no slouch either or the slingshot nades. Damn, that was fun stuff.

Lets not forget the usefulness of the control tether! Saved my butt plenty of times. And don't get me started about that rivet gun...

I only played like 6 games of Halo 2 Multiplayer, but loved every second of it.

Damn you Microsoft.

  • 12.23.2011 12:20 AM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I played Halo 2 ALL THE TIME, I would sit and think about it while I was in College, it was like an addiction.

Other games haven't been the same.
