i miss the team preview playlist! i need a playlist to warmup on that is ranked so people take it seriously, but isn't team slayer, b/c i take that too seriously...

I was introduced to Halo 2 at a bachelor party at the beginning of the summer. It was really, really fun but since I have zero skill at FPSs there is no way I'm ever buying it.

FPSes (counter-strike, halo, halo 2) are the only games i've ever played "seriously" ("seriously" = considered signing up for a tournament but never actually did). in fact, they are the only genre i've played at all since starcraft with dormmates back in 2000. but i'm getting tired of halo 2. xbox live is addictive but it has its problems.

not as good as halo

Level design is pretty terrible compared to the original but i still enjoy.

Seriously? Level design was like the most criticized thing about the original...

not by me. honestly i hated the level design of halo 2. I like the level where you have to hold the huge big building but except for that an insane amount of trekking. The level where yr in the tunnel and have to move forwards fr about ten minutes to get anywhere made me want to eat my xbox and in co-op multiplayer my friend always loses his ghost and i have to go SLOW so he can keep up. Thinkin about this now if i just went very far ahead i wld probably have warped him to me but this didn't occur to me at the time.

Plus multiplayer is much more designed for lots and lots of players and i don't have lots of friends. Original Halo had a lot of good smaller enclosed levels for 4 player multiplayer action. I guess halo 2 had so many Vast expanses for Xbox live. It may be good but i don't have xbox live to try. I haven't played any halo fr about three months now though so everything i'm saying could be nonsense because of poor memory, also maybe just nonsense.

i have never played halo 2 campaign.

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

the campaign in halo 2 was a huge letdown. nice graphics and large stages, but amost as repetitive as the original's levels and the story wasn't as good. HORRIBLE, HORRBLE ending. multiplayer was great of course but i gotr tired of being beat online by 10-year old brats yelling "faggot" while cheating using some glitch. then my x-box's ethernet card got fried in an electrical storm so i just said "fuck it" and sold it.

woah - the stats update quick. I've now played six games! I'm too intimidated to try any of the team games at this point though

― Jeff LeVine, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 01:00 (eighteen years ago)

just saw an article saying halo 3 comes out tonight. funny i started this thread almost exactly two years ago, must have been just before i sold the xbox and ceased gaming activity, except for the odd katamari.

― W i l l, Monday, 24 September 2007 23:43 (eighteen years ago)

halo 3 ending leaked

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 08:24 (eighteen years ago)

wasn't expecting an homage to the ending of the brown bunny

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, they really "finished the fight."

― marmotwolof, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 13:25 (eighteen years ago)

So is Halo 3 stuff gonna be on the Halo 2 thread?

two years pass...

new one looks disgustingly deep

― cozen, Monday, 26 April 2010 16:03 (fifteen years ago)

I find the halo style gameplay really uninteresting & definitely have no interest in playing it more (and no interest in another new one), but yeah, I wish other games had its feature list, in particular the match recording stuff to play around with.

― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 26 April 2010 16:13 (fifteen years ago)

i found the first one just gorgeous to play, a real satisfying simple shootem up. the second one i hated the cross plot format completely.
