Halo 2 > Halo 1
Halo 3 (will be) > Halo 2With a sig like yours, there's no way you could possibly be taken seriously.
and here we have the core of the problem. Not you specifically VZ, but nearly everyone who cares to take a side on this so-called "debate".
Based on somone's position, people are unwilling to respect or give any validity to the opinions of others. "You like this, so obviously you don't know anything and I can disregard you and your statements." It's a civil form of namecalling. But just as dismissive.
This is why it's not a discussion, this is why it's not even a debate. It's an argument. A fight. And people are trying to somehow "win" it.
I don't get the fight, I don't see the argument, and I don't even see the point of a debate. This is like an argument over which is better, Red or Blue. The arguing doesn't change the subjects of the argument. Nor will any outcome of the argument (if one were possible) have any impact on the color Green.
Don't like Halo 2? Fine. Play games that you DO like. Love Halo 2? Great! Play it as long as you like.
Think that you have ideas that would be better? Good for you! When you are in the position to do so, use your ideas, make a better game, if it is better, people will love it and you'll be adored by all.
But arguing? When there are better things to do? If you want, but I am getting tired of cleaning up the mess.Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to win an argument...it just bothers me that so many people stereotype h2sucks.com because of the site's name.
The only reason that I still argue about why I dislike Halo 2 is because I always had some hope that maybe Bungie would try to fix it somehow if many people asked them to. Bungie appreciates themselves for creating quality games--and they DO make quality games. But it just feels like Halo 2 isn't a quality game at all--be it Microsoft's time limit that they stuck on Bungie, or something else. I dunno.
I play Halo 2 maybe once a month nowadays. The only reason I play it--to look for things that I can enjoy. I recently gave Live another shot. But I got stock with Elongation twice in a row. It was four VS four, and two of my teammates quit out. The entire enemy team was dual-wielding. They were dual-wielding while my brother and I kept spawning with single SMGs. So after the match, I turn the Xbox off.
It's little things like that that ruin the experience for me and many others; the more I try to be open-minded about it, the more things that get in the damn way of me enjoying it.
But, I have stopped hoping for Bungie to fix the game nowadays; after I saw that not a single Bungie employee replied to the Halo 2 patch thread, even though over 800 people wanted a patch....I just sorta gave up. I dunno, maybe it was a good thing to give up.
