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

Based on campaigns.

And it was really fun. I ended Delta Halo with a Beam and Sniper Rifle and used no other weapon. For enemies that weren't worth wasting a round on I just beat to death. Gave me a lot of practice with no scoping and out sniping jackals.

Very fun, I recommend you guys try it out

Since I am a relative newcomer to Halo 2 I play on easy.

Delta Halo and Regret are GREAT sniping levels. The outdoor aspects make for the ability to set up some serious long shots and there is an assload of Beam Rifles and a decent enough amount of Sniper Rifle Ammo to make going snipe happy alot of fun.

Once you start playing Legendary, and can take advantage of Sputnik's fun, the center tower, where you first fun into the honor guards, there is a way to grenade jump to the top of it in order to have some REALLY cool sniping spots as you hop around the top of the structure. There is some odd mapping as your vision goes awry and you cannot see what you should be able to see (which is kinda cool in its own right) but it really allows you to hammer the Jackal Snipers without much risk to yourself!

Easy is fun, I like to get a sword, use it up and go around beating everything down with its super fast melee.

If I play on Easy I just run around punching things. Such fun.

Yup, when my grandson was 10 we'd play Heroic coop with Blind, Mythic, Thunderstorm, Catch, GBD and Sputnik on. We'd play OS or Metropolis and we'd try talking Army talk, he always liked to rush in and I would sit back and snipe when he was pinned down. Every once in a while we'd both charge in screaming and yelling and get slaughtered and we'd laugh like crazy. Damn I miss those days.

We're all looking back on the good days. Whether it was a month or a few years ago, we all miss the fun that Halo 2 originally brought. I actively enjoy Halo 2 but I cannot say that I don't feel the nostalgia that washes over me when I drive a warthog through the tunnels of Outskirts or Blow up the cannons of a phantom with the hidden rocket that is tucked on top of the starting structure on Delta Halo. And further more I cannot say I don't play for a small portion of nostalgia.

With me it's the opposite, I only started playing Halo 11 months ago and started with Reach, only a few months ago I began discovering the earlier games.

For a bit of nostalgia I'll pay a visit to some old Mario games, when I can get my Wii set up again

In that case, you probably could have just beaten Regret to death; he's probably one of the most easily-defeated villains in the game.

I really liked that level, but it wasn't my favorite. My favorite level was probably either Outskirts or Delta Halo, because in both of them there were ways of getting outside the playable space and doing stuff outside the map. On Outskirts there were a lot of goodies stashed on rooftops and in buildings, in places the average person playing through the level wouldn't ever explore.

Its very relaxing to play Regret on easy.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

When I play on Easy I just practice sword flying.

This and I also probe for glitches and tricks.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

When I play on easy I end up just trying to find ways to glitch, I do this on every halo game except for wars, and I always end up with over 30 minutes of playtime.

Easy is so annoying. I prefer normal for hunting and casual play.

I play Normal on Reach more since it helps the commendations and credits, I play on Easy in other Halo games.

Because you don't die. Yes, I realize that you, technically, can die, but it's almost impossible. Velocity and splatters are your only worries when playing on Easy.

Well here's the thing-
If I play Halo 2 on easy/normal the SMG is the ideal weapon as you don't need to be to careful. And in Reach the repeater and AR are put to better uses. Unfortunately the DMR is still superior due to level designs.
