I'll bring the tritium laser cutters if you bring the beer!

Funny story.

You missed out on KSI.

I did.

Last time I played on this account was on the 360's launch week.

It wasn't as good as advertised here, that's for sure.

All the kids in here who only ever built a relationship with Halo 3, man. Anyone who played Halo 2 back in its day will tell you it was far better and more enjoyable than Halo 3.

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

You missed out on the exploit and glitch wars.

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Far better? Not really.

They are on par, IMO.

I can't agree with you because I disliked Halo 2. SWBFII was way better.

Halo 3 was a big disappointment to me. Every Halo 2 map was great, movement felt a lot less restricted, gameplay felt more fluid and fast-paced, etc. Most people who had the privilege of playing both Halo 2 and 3 in their prime would probably say 2 was more fun.

  • 12.16.2012 10:26 PM PDT

I never played Halo 2 online either. I lived overseas until the summer of '10 so my online Halo career began at the tail end of Halo 3. I had an Xbox and I had Halo CE and Halo 2 and played them with friends on split screen. As far as playing Halo matchmaking now, Halo 3 = Good, Halo: Reach = Good, Halo 4 = Good.

  • 12.16.2012 10:31 PM PDT

Same here. When I had Halo 2, I didn't have XBL and played only for the campaign; glitching out of the map and things like that. By the time the Halo 3 beta came out, that's when I began playing Halo on XBL.

You missed out. It was amazing.

IMO they were the golden days. H2 i thought had the best game balance of all of them and also the best community because it wasnt split between so many games. H2 was what you played. period. It was so beautiful, it was so strategic, it was so fun. I still talk to a lot of my old h2 buddies even now.

I didn't get Xbox Live till 06. I loved Halo 2's campaign and played some LAN parties, but nothing was like playing BTB on live. Played it constantly till Gears of War came in.

Even though it was just a few months of MP and replaying the campaign for years, I gotta say it was the perfect game.
Not my favorite game due to lack of memories, but the perfect game for sure.

UnitedBands.net

My band and artist networking/information site. Check it out!

OMG yes!!! As already mentioned, it was the best community as far as I'm concerned. Everyone was talking, you met random people and befriended them, awesome clan matches while they lasted! And that was the true hight of custom games as far as people actually playing against each other.

All my friends that I have on my friends list are either from Halo2 or from real life. It was just a different group of people back then.

Ugh the memories.

I had more fun playing Halo 2 those last weeks than I did three years of Halo 3.

Halo 2 was near perfection in terms of design, vehicles, map layout and gameplay. It still has some of the best MP maps ever, IMO.

I miss it dearly.

I don't remember ever complaining about having to play a map in Halo 2. Just about every map was enjoyable to play.

I had some of the best moments in my life playing Halo 2 MM with my friends.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

The glitches, sword lunge tricks, three-hit melees, honor rules, mods, clans, and open mics.

Let me elaborate:

The glitches ranged from getting your body stuck into the sky, getting out of the map entirely, to super bouncing. They were very fun and it is thrilling to get out of bounds and into an area where you are not only free to roam but also free to explore pretty much uncharted lands. It added a whole other element to the game and the game really benefited from it.

The sword lunge tricks ranged from using it to get to hard to reach areas to being a flat-out tactical advantage positioner. Was pretty fun, still possible in Halo 3 actually. (Lunge then change weapons.)

Three hit melees meant that it was uncommon to just walk right to the enemy. You could also melee your teammates without messing them up that badly and could do it chastisingly.

The honor rules taught discipline and attention to detail. As the host it was your job to kick everyone that died by a zombie (green team), and as a player it meant you did not be a dick or you'd get kicked. Period.

Mods meant stuff was fun as hell. From playing in hover-seats (the thing the prophet was riding in the campaign), to donkey kong, to race maps. The reason why Halo 3 had forge and so many custom game settings was due to how popular mods were. You could even play more than one round with a mod due to a specific setting. I'll never forget the "triangles of death" glitch things. Walk into one and your player just dies, I've still got no idea why they appear.

Clans meant you could always get in a customgame. XBL even used some of the features in its Friend lists. Some clans were serious, while others were fun. All in all, they brought people closer together just enough to have an impact of varying degrees.

Open mics meant that if you had a mic you only had the option to talk to everyone in the game. This has obvious benefits and problems.
