*sword flies away*
This is the only thing I remember from the Halo 2 patch.

It's been like 8 years, but I am pretty sure it was 4 beatdowns and 6 shots to kill. Someone check me on that actually played it

Don't get me wrong it could be true, but based on what I can find on the wiki and patch notes that could be true or false. It seems before the game relied on player movement then after the update it was changed to be almost always a 2 hit kill. That could mean before it could have been a 2-6 hit kill. As for the BR it says nothing about it. If someone else that has played before April 2005 could back up your story I would believe it or if you could fine footage proving it. I would try playing Halo 2 unpatched, but my xbox isn't currently set up so I can't do that to see if what you said is true or not.

yes. do you also require what my opinion is on the topic? you probably do, i think halo 2 would have been probably a slower paced game than what it was remembered for post-patch. It would have been weird to see it carry on over to the next halo games, but i think there would have been a point where bungie would eventually fix that anyway.

Can I have some proof you played it pre-patch and/or can you back up the OP's claims about the melee and BR?

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

This was Halo 2 pre-patch.

Halo 2 was a pretty terrible MP game, good thing there were no other console MP games to compare it to at the time.

Even after the last patch, the game had gamebreaking glitches and exploits.

Also, don't forget sword lunging across the whole map with the sword + scoped weapon glitch

It was a mess I remember. Coagulation btb games in particular ring a bell. Scoring the flag from under the base, sword flying across the map, loonger kill times, especially melee's. in short, people praise halo 2 for the good things but always forget about how much of a mess it was at the beginning, far worse than the later halo games at launch.

Well that works OP was telling the truth.

OT: Really the only issue I can see is the game being overall slower, but as others have said I imagine that would change over time.

Honestly I think it has more to do with making a good thing out of what very well might have never happened. Though yeah a lot of people that praise Halo 2 tend to ignore/forget a lot of the issues the game did have.

well sir, i dont know how else to provide such proof other than my service record, but i dont know if bungie supports halo 2 stats anymore. I have played halo 2 online though, i remember what OP is talking about.

Hunter S7- You are terrible. You come in here trying to derail the thread and then pretend to be too important to give an opinion on the actual thread topic. Why are you posting in here?

yes. do you also require what my opinion is on the topic? you probably do- Hey, way to be a self righteous donkey S7

I already looked at your Halo 2 stats you played online after the patch OP mentioned. Halo 2 stats are still available on bungie.net. Though proof has already been posted so it doesn't matter anymore.

Not at all for a lot of reasons unless you mean best to make it so that the other could never win by modding then yes.

Even if Halo 2 was not your favorite Halo game... You must give it credit for essentially launching XBL and building the main interface that we now enjoy as commonplace. Heck, the game had host migration, when did the FPS juggernaut COD finally get that? MW2 or something. Plus, the friend list system within Halo 2 is the design used today for the 360. You can't deny just how important Halo 2 really was.

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

Was Halo 2 pre-patch really that bad? Lol

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

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

Pre-Patch Halo 2 was on the same levels of Reach. I'm not even -blam!- joking.

  • 12.29.2012 5:01 PM PDT

Do you really want to know?

If so,

Then everyone would be playing Halo 2 for having shyts and gigglez.

I felt if Halo 2 had less glitchery and connection compensation, it would have been near flawless.

I never had XBL when I played Halo 2 so that's the only Halo 2 I know.

Absolutely, not to mention that if Bungie had a bit more time to polish... What a gem. We would of possibly had the Mongoose, and maybe even films- in Halo 2. At least I heard from some source that Bungie had originally wanted a theatre mode of some kind in H2. Could be complete rumor fallacy tho

Weak grenades, weak melees, BR spread (though not as bad as Halo 3), dummy glitching, sword zipline, Wraith humping, etc.
