The maps, soundtrack and campaign were all better.. Oh and nostalgia.

Well, I just can't see this thread and not reply.
My reasons I can think of explaining why Halo 2 was better than 3:
Better Maps
Faster Gameplay
Proximity Voice? - Can't remember if 3 had it but it made it more competitive
Better Community
The auto-aim was more precise
Sniper shot quicker
Assault existed as a gametype
Capture the flag rules were better
*Not nostalgia - I think Halo 4 is MUCH better than Halo 3...
Halo 2 > Halo CE > Halo 4 > Halo 3

I enjoyed Halo 2 MUCH more than 3.
Campaign was really good and had a much better soundtrack.
Multiplayer...come on now. No Halo game can compete with Halo 2's MP.
For those of you saying Halo 3 had better Custom Games...lolno.

They're the complete same thing
You obviously never played Halo 2 online.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Nostalgia.

Halo 2 has a better soundtrack.
Not really, while Halo 2 may have had the original version of the songs, Halo 3 had better recorded versions of them. Barring of course the New Mombassa track and the Delta Halo theme every major theme was reused in Halo 3, and was recorded in much better quality.

Better quality doesn't compensate for the fact that:
A. We care more about how the music is composed, rather than the actual "QUALITY" it comes in
B. Half the Halo 3 tracks were boring, or were inferior to their Halo 2 and CE counterparts in terms of sound.
C. Halo 2 had far more amazing tracks than Halo 3 did

It's funny how most people who go "lolnostalgia" are the ones who didn't start Halo until after 2's prime, of course you kids wouldn't understand.
Yes, because simply addressing the flaws in the game makes me a kid. Because i don't follow the flood cult that blindly praises, even when the game had blaring gameplay issues that were on par with Reach.
The fact that you consider it on par with Reach just invalidates anything you have to say at this point. Good Day sir


Yep, you're blinded by nostalgia.
