We've been here since you left.
We left before you came.

The fact is Bungie spent 10 months on a game we were waiting for 3 years, all because of the E3 demo that wasn't in the game. I really hope their busting their ass on Halo 3.

The Halo 3 forum was created so we can discuess ideas for what Halo 3 is going to be like.

Everyone is getting me all wrong. I'm more mad at Bungie for the travesty of Halo 2. Halo 2 was supposed to be an incredible game, instead it was ok. I still like Halo 1 and Halo 2. It's just that Halo 2 is not what I expected when I saw E3.


Halo 1 and Halo 2 were both great games. If halo 2 had been the first one, you'd love it as much as you love Halo 1. Some things were better in Halo 2 and somethings were worse. I loved the new campaign... it was defiently better then halo 1, especially the level of monotony. MP in halo 2 wins out as well, because we had live, and SWAT on live was by far and away the greatest experience I've had with a MP FPS. Nothing beats how fast and action packed SWAT is.

Back to Halo 3... they're working on it right now... do the moderates read everything or take every suggest... hells no, but if somethng good comes along the way and they put it in, then hellls yeaaa. If you don't like an idea, refute or just ignore the thread... theres no reason to post spam like this. everyones entitled to their opinion of how the game should be ( aslong as you not violating bungies polices)

Bungie sure didn't make the right decision when they made Halo 2.

Just because they didn't listen to you death threats? It looks like the halo2sucks.com population was larger than I thought.

It doesn't matter the reason it sold 7 million copies!Why do you people actually try to come up with excuses for the games success?

You didn't have the right expectations.
Given the fact that Halo 2 still is one of the most played games on XBL, does seem to indicate that Bungie did things right.
I

XBL is the only reason Halo 2 is still alive. If it wasn't for multiplayer, the campaign sure as hell wouldn't of got it so much hype.

t doesn't matter what the hell your talking about.Halo 2 is still an awesome game.if you don't believe me look up the games sells.


Not defending either side, but your argument is lacking. Sales mean nothing, especially considering it was a hugely hyped sequel to a very successful game. And do not kid yourself by thinking the first game had nothing to do with those sales....it had a lot to do with them. And the argument about LIVE is null, Halo:ce never got a chance at LIVE, otherwise they would both be neck and neck for most played LIVE game.

And since when does sales mean anything? Most of the mainstream crap that is popular music sales millions of copies, doesn't neccesarily make it good. Same with movies. I've seen some high-profit movies that were just horrible. So please, do not use sales figures as a argument tool. Especailly considering the hyped marketing and Halo:CE were most likely the major contributors to Halo2's numbers

I never discredited it. Read.

All i did was prove the argument that it was a good game because of it "sales" is not only idiotic, but unfounded. Many people bought the drug Phen-phen.....look where it ended up.

Until people start throwing some real marketing knowledge into these kinds of arguments, I wish people would stuff their self appointed expertise somewhere where it doesn't give me a headache.

It's fanboi nonsense. Did hype and being an anticipated sequel help sell Halo 2? Of course it did.

Did hype and being an anticipated sequel make Halo 2? Not if you look at the current numbers.

Does hype and being an anticipated sequel have anything to do with Halo's performance two years after release? No, Billy, it doesn't. Feel free to try to explain how the inane arguments hold up so long after the release. The only people that the hype argument makes sense to anymore are the people that aren't willing to pay attention to the facts, anyway.

And that bit about "Halo 2 and Halo 1 would be neck on neck on Live if Halo 1 had the chance?" Your opinion. Please stop waving it around as a fact.

And since when does sales mean anything? Most of the mainstream crap that is popular music sales millions of copies, doesn't neccesarily make it good. Same with movies. I've seen some high-profit movies that were just horrible. So please, do not use sales figures as a argument tool.

Just because you don't like things that are mainstream doesn't make them bad. Your opinion doesn't make you correct, nor does it make a mainstream audience "incorrect." Quit waving around the word "mainstream" as though Halo 1 was, at some point, "underground." Quit trying to use Halo 1 as "the major reason" why Halo 2 sold, unless you can give genuine (not to be confused with fanboi marketing logic for why Halo 2 went so huge on its launch, and then held its position for the next two years.

People can argue until their blue in the face about how Halo did this or that for Halo 2 at launch, but you can't conveniently ignore Halo 2's prolonged success when you do so.

Exscuse me. I was not meaning to word my post as if to say my opinions were fact. That is my oversight. I am definitely not a member who likes that sort of posting, and I apologize.

I, again, was not taking either side. I just FEEL, IMO, that sales have nothing to do with one game being better than another, unless we are talking profit margin alone.

And considering my career is in marketing/sales, I feel I have enough experience to make educated guesses.

The Bring Back Bloodgulch Group have many members looking for more its kind of an unofficial petition to Bungie to bring back Bloodgulch in Reach http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/bx3g/Group/GroupHome.aspx

All these things like,

"I want a flamethrower."

"No thats dumb."

"I want the old pistol.

"No thats dumb"

"I want this, i want that, and this, that, this that, not that, but definetly that..." OH MY GO SHUT UP!!!.

Bungie will make the right decision. If its the right decision bungie will put large portions of the book into the game even if it confuses some. If its the right decision bungie will/will not bring back the old pistol. Okay! Bungie will make the right decision. All these, "Do you want.." threads are ok. But the super demanding threads like "We have to have the old pistol back." Im just ready to jump out the window!


I'M SORRY, BUT BUNGIE ISN'T GOD!!! THEY ARE KICK ASS, BUT DUDE SHUT THE -blam!- UP THEY CAN MAKE MISTAKES
