To me, It felt like the ending to Halo Two was basically saying "To be continued"....Except fading to black without actually ever saying "To be continued".
It was. They had to do that because they didn't have the time to complete it. Absolutely everyone that knows the story of Halo 2's development knows for a fact that Halo 2/3's campaigns were originally meant to be one but due to time restraints they had to leave Halo 2 with a cliffhanger ending. You could even tell it was rushed.

Halo 3's ending at least felt paced. The normal ending left the story at a point where it could easily pick back up again or just die off. It did bring some closure to the Covenant war and that specific conflict. The legendary ending however left you knowing there was definitely something on the horizon for Master Chief to face but it wasn't the same challenge as before. It was the end of one story then a teaser to another.

in the end offers absolutely no closure at all.
I don't think you can count that as a negative when comparing it to Halo 2. Halo 3 definitely has more closure than Halo 2 did... This is by no means "closure". Halo 3 did finish the fight against the Covenant (In its full power) but now we're going to be getting into another fight apparently.
^This. Halo 2 fanboys are blind

Meh. Not a huge fan of either campaign. I didn't really finish either campaign till this year despite having Halo since 2005. I really don't find anything compelling about Halo 2. Grave mind looks retarded in Halo 2 and sounds dumb. IMO

I used to be a 50, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Agreed. I think the storyline was pretty cheesy and the AI flat out sucked. It didn't have the epic feel that Halo 3 had.

How is going out into space and delivering a bomb not epic?

How is walking away from a destroyed AA gun better than coming out of a destroyed Scarab?

How is having the pleasure of killing a Prophet then immediately being threatened by Covenant glassing not epic (though I admit the actual battle wasn't that good)?

And if the AI sucked, then why are H3 Jackal snipers so easy to detect and kill and H3 Brutes so easy to stick with grenades, beat down to death, assassinate, noob combo, etc. The room with the eating Brutes is easy if you have bubble shields. Any place with Arbiter means Death. And hoarding equipment ensures easy victory.

H3 Brutes may dive from plasma pistol overcharges but H2 Elites had higher numbers and better evasive movement and provided suppressing fire making it difficult to get a headshot after the overcharged bolt hit.

You have no argument.

In Halo 3 we could destroy several Scarabs. While we couldn't destroy a single one in Halo 2!

And I'm done arguing Halo games here anyway. Enjoy your topic...

Halo 2 and 3 aren't really known for their campaigns. I enjoyed 3 more than 2 on a first playthrough, but don't really enjoy going back to either to be honest. I prefer Halo 3 just because of the slow motion cinematics of Cortana and gravemind and the soundtrack.

edit: didn't realize I already made posts here.

Because the waypoint forum goers are much more intelligent and offer better discussion and add more good ideas to gameplay.

I only go on Waypoint because there's stricter moderation.

I defend H2, I get wasted. I try to sympathize with H3, share campaign treats, and I get insults. CE forum is the only place on here for me.

While Halo 2's campaign is my least favorite out of 1,2, and 3's, I wouldn't say it sucked. It just didn't draw me in as much is all.

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

sucked is a harsh term but it is the weakest of the trilogy

You'ved been dissing on Halo 2 for like a year now... You'ved posted at least 6 threads about how much you dislike it. I think we all get it by now. Why do you talk so much hate on Halo 2 like you're butthurt? at that point just get off this forum already...


OH Bravo Bravo Bravo "claps hands"

It's borderline suck, but I agree the fact that it's a halo game should give it a pass.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.
