Subject: Enough with the Halo 2 garbage!

And I think Halo 2 has the best enemies in the series, espicially on legendary.

While I'm with you on a lot of your points, I still think Halo 2 is a great game. I'd also place the campaign at the bottom as compared to other Halo games, although it was still great to me. To beat a dead horse, the multiplayer is a glitchfest, but I actually think highly of the maps, and they were well-suited for the Halo 2 sandbox and balance (if we're to exclude glitches as a factor, which is impossible with Halo 2). All of that being said, I don't want another Halo 2, and I'm not on the "let's ride Halo 2's dick" bandwagon.

I also want to add that it was the very best console FPS you could play in 2004, so that has to make it special in some way.

Stopped reading here, Halo 2 had the best campaign.

Halo 2's campaign was amazing.
Halo 2's Multiplayer was amazing (after they fixed everything).
Halo 2's OST was amazing.

It WAS the best. It did everything I sequel was supposed to do by improving on the original in literally every way.

Halo 2 had the worst campaign in the entire franchise. Harsh, but it's true. The only thing that was good about it was it dived into the lore of how the Covenant worked. THAT'S IT!

I agree with you. I never said the game wasn't good. All I said, it's not that great. There are some people here who cannot comprehend this.

and ODST's campaign is by far the best campaign of the franchise.Stopped reading.

The flood circle jerks to halo 2 far too much. My favorite is 3, but I really like halo 4, if only they would get the damn playlists right.

Yeah, I was really just in violent agreement. xD

One thing that boggles my mind is that people pissed and moaned about the original Xbox servers being taken down, mainly because of Halo 2, yet they could get the PC version, which is superior in many fashions. The population might be a little low, but I know there are still active players.

I think it is and so does Bungie.

Its 4 hours long.

It had terrible token characters ie: the badass, the tech guy, the leader and his love interest.

The entire game featured nothing new except your LACK of what you had in previous games.

Did I mention that awful romance?

Also Bungie made Reach so they don't have an opinion.

I think that Halo 2 had the best driving sequence at the end.

I agree with what you're saying, but your stupid "my opinion is fact, anyone who disagrees is a fanboy" attitude kills it.

But it do.

I thought Halo 2 was fun and still is fun, but I do wish people would stop drooling over it as if it's god on a disc.

A) Okay, I'll admit I was uninformed about the subject matter. My apologies.

B) Halo 4's core gunplay is still arguably better than Halo 3 and Reach (not ZBNS Reach though). It's consistent (no spread or bloom) and movement is quite well done.

I disagree there are multiple glitches/exploits in Halo 4 due to the poor programming on 343's part. As for no bloom/spread that really doesn't matter all too much in terms of improving/taking away for the gameplay.


Please list all the glitches and explain how they effect gameplay consistently enough to be noteworthy.

And bloom is a piss poor mechanic with nothing going for it, we all argued about this two years ago.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

OP sucked at Halo 2 multiplayer and is mad.

I respect your opinion on halo 4 now because I know you played halo 2 and 3 and disliked them. So that proves your not a fanboy. Your one of the few people who I respect. *huge smiley face*

Halo 2 was the best multiplayer not because of cheats, but because it required skill.

I"m going to assume op has never tried tricking, never used the Scarab gun, and never flew with the sword of gods in Halo 2.

Also, LASO was completely different from Halo 3, Reach, and Halo 4 and took far more skill and luck. In those games, the plasma pistol is your best friend and the enemy strategy degenerates into dumbass grenade spam, in Halo 2, most Elites never throw grenades, never giving you the chance to go up to them. And even if you do get to them, you still have to deal with a -blam!- sword! But unlike those games, Halo 2 gives you some major advantages, like cloaking and overshields. Not to mention it makes marines into beasts if you take the time to save them. And you have the option of rushing in like a god or playing it safe like men. You aren't forced to play methodically.

Me, I personally prefer Halo 2 because the marines don't easily get shot down due to having massive bundles of health. It'd be right up there with CE if the enemies weren't so cheap (extremely high damage).
