Subject: How many people actually played Halo 2?

"Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive"

Or are most of you just bandwagon h2 fans?

It's multiplayer was just a cheat fest, you could not reach the top rank without cheating, It had by far one of the worst campaigns and ending, and it was rushed by bungie. Worst of all, it didn't recieve a TU until months after launch.

I feel like there are wayy too many h2 praisers, especially on the waypoint forums *shudders* claiming every halo should be just like 2, even though h2 wasn't even that great.

For me, multiplayer-wise it's

3>4>2>Reach

edit: haha, I put reach's multiplayer over 2's, even when that thing was functional it was still terrible.

Campaign:

CE>4>ODST>3>2>Reach

I only played custom games and modded. Towards the end I played a little more MM.

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

I never played the Halo 2 multiplayer, I jumped straight into Halo 3. I only played H2 for the campaign which I very much enjoyed.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

I played Halo 2 and had more fun at level 30 than I did at 50 high Halo 3.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I didn't play much of the multiplayer, but at least I didn't hate it so much that I couldn't play anymore (Reach).

I played it. It was an incredibly flawed game, yet somehow it ended up being incredibly fun.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

That's actually one of the reasons why I liked the game. Those exploits were fun. Halo 2 right now on the PC.... Haven't seen one exploit aside from the campaign exploits. So...

*raises hand*

Campaign:

CE>4>ODST>2>Reach


Almost agree with this opinion.

Campaign Overall:

CE>4>=ODST>=3>2>Reach

Though Halo 4 has the worst level design out of all the Halos, IMO.

Multiplayer Overall:

CE>>>lolallotherHalomultiplayers

Got it 1 month after it came out, I enjoyed the live matches until the stupid -blam!- button combos took over the game and multiplayer went to -blam!-.

Lt. Dan I brought you some ice cream. Lt. Dan.. ice creaaam!

I have played both CE and Halo 2 when they first came out and I can say that CE is superior in its campaign. But that's all I can judge it for since CE did not have an online multiplayer.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Halo 2 is not popular on the Waypoint forums. Those people praise Reach and Halo 4 to no end. Halo 2 is mostly popular among the nostalgic/competitive community.

I loved that game's multiplayer. I got to 41 but like you said, OP, it was riddled with cheaters.

It's nostalgia but I miss it. I know if such cheating happened today I would hate it.

Funny story.

I have fonder memories of Halo 2's multiplayer than Halo 3's, but I think it's just nostalgia.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

You preferred Reach's multiplayer over 2? Lol wut.

H2 > everything.

Nothing else needs to be said.

Religion breeds hate

Bandwagon?.. No I truly enjoyed this video game very much. The campaign was fun and I also enjoyed the multiplayer. I don't praise Halo 2 as a follower I just liked it..

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

Didn't play much MM, but I still did.

too many idiots

  • 12.23.2012 4:03 PM PDT

The ranking system was great because nobody could reach the top. It actually put people where they needed to be as far as competitiveness goes. Your TU argument is invalid since none of the Halo games had a timely TU; least of all Reach. The campaign wasn't very good, I agree; maybe because I played it too many times back then. As far as matchmaking goes, Halo 2 had the best maps and the BR was just sex at your fingertips.


Also, you were born in 98; don't act like you even know what you are talking about.

i never thought about multiplayer at the time of having the game in my opinion too young but the campaign was one of the most boring pieces of -blam!- i had ever played
