Subject: I don't get how people like Halo2 over Halo3?

They're the complete same thing accept Halo2 did'nt have Forge or as many maps as H3 did?

All Halo2 had was a BR that could shoot like a DMR and a BR...

Give me some reosons why Halo2 was better. Point me out where i'm wrong.

Yup, Halo3 was the shiz in its time...

  • 12.01.2012 5:34 PM PDT

Even though I like 3 more personally 2 was amazing and I understand the argument for it. It had A much stronger division between team and solo play making it easier to get into it every time. That's my main reason for the Halo 2 side of things.

What are these first person words you speak of?

They both have qualities better than the other.

Teh puma isn't going to say it is all around better as a game, but the soundtrack is at the least, on even ground, if not better. The campaign is far more in depth, and longer, it is of all 'round better quality. Finally, the multiplayer maps, were for the most part, classics. Teh puma enjoyed most of them, they set great moods, and were just as fun to play on as all of the maps in halo 3, if not more fun.

Campaign was a masterpiece, and was an excellent user friendly introduction to the intricacies of the Universe. Not to mention how awesome it was to have the two sides of the story meet up in a mind blowingly awesome finale!

Azzuage are you one of Altered Vista's alts?

OT: because Halo 2's sword, campaign, music and multiplayer maps were absolutely mind blowing

the same thing cant be said for Halo 3 (sure it had alot better maps in the DLC but i expect a game to be good on it's original version)

-Halo 2 had far better maps than Halo 3.
-Halo 2's gameplay was fast-paced and fun, unlike Halo 3.
-Halo 2 customs were a blast; you had gametypes like Tower of Power and Zombies, but you could also have a ton of fun doing these sorts of things.

I enjoyed Halo 2 very much when it released, but it's a game I would only go back to for Campaign.

  • 12.01.2012 5:37 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Halo 2 had the better campaign, better maps, none of that Sword Clash silliness, dual wielded Needlers, and for a personal thing it wasn't ruined by DLC restrictions for me.

I loved both personally. I thought Halo 3 expanded and fleshed out Halo 2 in every way. Like everything I wanted in Halo 2 was in Halo 3. It was honestly my dream game.

I didn't have Live when I got Halo 2 so I can't say anything about the matchmaking. However, the Halo 2 campaign was miles better than the Halo 3 campaign, Halo 3's campaign got real repetitive, real fast, Halo 2 campaign, much like CE's and 4'S kept me interested the whole way through.

Had to be there, maybe? They were both great games when they were both the current Halo. Playing either one now to compare wont be the same because it's a completely different time frame. Halo 2 was a much better game in 2005 than it is now even though the game hasn't changed. Halo 3 was in tip-top shape in 2008/9.

Can't judge a game outside of its place in time. The community gave them their life. They were both awesome. I am now attracted to men in diapers.

What.

Halo 2 was the best Halo game
A7x FoREVer!

If you had Xbox Live from 2004-2006, then you'd understand why Halo 2 was better.

I can say I played a fair amount of Halo 2, 3, and Reach and will always say Halo 2 was the best. If you think Halo 3 or Reach had good customs, then you really missed out.

ZomG, for those people wanting to know everything, this is not my Main tag anymore, (McCrash IS for Posting on B.net)

Original XbL Gamertag, zeDutchKreatiVz, as you guessed, Im Dutch/from Holland/Amsterdam.

...Also wTf happened to Halo.......*sighs*

I played H3 ONLINE moreso than 2, ( no CC)
STILL not only was Campaign...like WOOTDFAWESOME
Multiplayer actually required skill, I personally liked that part very much (even CQC like the lolguy said)
you could have noobBRcombo, and I could still BxR you, it's funny how people now (espec. since Reach) DIDN'T think you did not need strategy and stuff.

And then ALSO, it was the place (Halo 2) where Goddarnnit Big Team Battle was at! that was the Shizznit.

I'm guessing OP didnt play much maybe normal campaign, but U missed out on alot.

Also, Bungie ran out of time. (this I hated for campaign, lolGlitches were so awesome, Superjump all the way, or Snipeflying.)

...I believe H2 is the game I played most Customs on......Ever. Lan & On.
