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.
Kids nowadays and their Forge. We didn't need no stinkin Forge mode to have fun.

Halo 2 has a better soundtrack.

Definitely not, and it wasn't very professional either.

Halo 3's campaign is the best in any console shooter ever. Not even Halo 2 beats it. Plus, Halo 3 has forge and custom games which easily added two years of replay value to the game, if you have friends.

Remove nostalgia, and the game is still 100 times better than Halo 3.

Fun?

YEAH! WHAT WE ALL NEEDED WERE BROKEN HITBOXES, MAGNETIC BULLETS, AND LOCK ON AUTO AIM! WOOOOOO! HALO 2 FOR THE -blam!-ING WIN!

And yet everybody still thinks 2 was the pinnacle of competitive Halo when that really happened 3 years before it.

  • 12.01.2012 5:55 PM PDT

I prefer Halo 2 for the story and in some cases the multiplayer maps. For the most part though, Halo 3's multiplayer was far better.

  • 12.01.2012 5:55 PM PDT

The Maps and Team SWAT wasn't ranked. Halo 3 had some good maps though.

It had an amazing story.

AND THEN ALSO....(lol getting tired now)

Have you ever played Backwash Zombie's?
I do not think you have.

I dont play Reach Infected,
I dont play Halo 4 Infected,
I dont play MW 3 Infected.

All I know is that whenever someone invited me it was for either MM, Or Backwash Zombie's.

  • 12.01.2012 5:57 PM PDT

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.


Posted by: Azzuage
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.

Everywhere.

Okay, it was definitely noobified compared to CE, but I still had a ton of fun playing it.

And I never claimed it was the pinnacle of competitive Halo.

Don't let fear of rejection stop you from going after what you want

Halo 2 had customs and more people played them... Believe what you want, but I had a full friends list for Halo 2 and Halo 3. I never had a problem finding a custom game to play in Halo 2. Where as in Halo 3 I had to go out of my way to find one. From FFA on Lockout, to Zombies, Tower of Power, Troy, glitches (super bouncing/getting out of maps), mods, Cops and Robbers, Hide n Seek, Cat and Mouse, etc, etc, etc... Halo 2 had endless amounts of custom fun. In Halo 3 you'd find the occasional Zombies game. It just wasn't the same.

Fine. ALMOST everybody still thinks Halo 2 was the pinnacle of competitive Halo.

But it do.

I enjoyed Halo 3's multiplayer much more than 2. I played 2 for about a year before Halo 3 came out and I can safely say that 3 is better.

Yup.

Better maps, better campaign (inb4muhending), better community, better customs. Only things Halo 3 had on it were Forge, more weapons and better graphics. Theater didn't matter.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

It was mostly the maps, the exploits, and the imbalances.

This might sound like me bad mouthing the game, but these things did lead to a higher skill ceiling in halo 2 than in most of the later games. Halo 3 and Reach are more approachable, but Halo 2 had more ways to become a good player. This doesn't make Halo 2 objectively "better," but it does make it more competitively viable, which certain people seem to like more.

  • 12.01.2012 6:02 PM PDT

Don't you get it? The older the game is, the better it is, obviously!

  • 12.01.2012 6:03 PM PDT

lol at people saying nostalgia itt.

Whaaaaat? From 2007 - 2009 (When MW2 came out), every single one of my friends played Halo 3 only, about fifteen would play custom games, mostly infection. And an odd few playing the campaign. We can't judge the number of people playing from our friends lists, but looking at statistics, a lot more people played Halo 3. It was much better than Halo 2. My best memories were definitely had playing Halo 3. I doubt Halo 4, 5 or 6 will ever be near as good as Halo 3 is.
