IMO, Halo 2 is THE worst game to ever get AAA

[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"][QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]I found Half-Life 2 and Bioshock to be great games.

Then what the hell is this "Half-Life 2: Deathmatch" thingy I see on my Steam games list?

[QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"][QUOTE="Killzowner"]Halo 3 is also overrated.Killzowner

Then he could "finish the fight" without worrying about a "Sequel" coming out later. lol

[QUOTE="Killzowner"][QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]I really hate to say I can't comment on Halo 3, even though I want to "finish the fight" for the sake of "finishing the fight", my fiancial situations kept me from playing the game.darth-pyschosis

[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I never played Assassins Creed, is it really not worth the AAA?mitu123

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="Brownesque"] I didn't pay a single dime and played the game all the way to the end, still wish I could erase every minute of it from my memory and get the time I spent back. It's like 13 bucks used at Gamestop. It's not worth it. Seriously.slvrraven9

Halo 2's campaign wasn't the greatest, but it was pretty good. And the multiplayer was miles ahead ofanything else at the time. Halo 2 is probably the worst Halo game, but that doesn't make it bad by any means.

And seriously, play Perfect Dark Zero.

TC and most people underestimate the gravity of Halo's Multiplayer. Say what you want about the campaign mode, but its the MP that gives it high scores, its the MP that brought it to fame, and its the MP that everyone was looking forward to when they waited at midnight on launch day for Halo 2.

I enjoyed the Arbiter levels. Just the idea behind him going on those suicide missions and surviving was bad*ss IMO. He played the same to me...didn't feel any different than Master Chief really.

Worst AAA game ever? I wouldn't say that. It offered hours upon hours of online fun and the story wasn't half bad. If anything, Assassin's Creed is the worst AAA game ever. It had boring and repetitive missions with little to no replay value.

I was really, REALLY disappointed with Halo 2's single player after loving Halo: CE. The multiplayer was amazing, though. As for being the worst game ever to get AAA, I disagree completely.

The ENTIRE Halo series is overrated IMO. They're average shooters that don't hold a cake to their PC counterparts.

I feel as though I am in the minority when I say Halo 2 offered the best campaign -- I had an absolutely blast playing through the campaign, and the multiplayer? Phenomenal. I've put over a thousand plus hours into Halo 2's online.Stevo_the_gamer

It had a good campaign. Prefered coop more than anything. yes love the splitscreen multiplayer that i used to play with friends.(Lockout, Midship, awesome maps.:) brings me back to the goldenye days lol

[QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]

Really, how the hell did this get scores near Half-Life 2? Really? I am one of the biggest console fanboys ever, and Half-Life 2 is head and shoulders better than Halo 2 in every single way, excluding the soundtrack. I'm dead serious when I think this may deserve high A or low AA, it's really obvious MicroSoft forced Bungie to rush the game, because, for example, the game was supposed to have three more levels after the "final" level.

Fun fact: Halo 2 got 7.0 on PC, and PC has higher standards

Halo 3 is also overrated.Killzowner

At the time, Halo 2 deserved AAA status. I think I'm one of those people who enjoyed the Arbiter levels (for the most part). The ending was weak, but MS pushed Bungie to release the game, when they could've gave them more time to polish the "boring" levels and release it on the Xbox 360 launch day. Wow, MS missed out big time...

I'd say that that PD0 fits that description better.Episode_Eve

I think perfect dark 360 would like to have a word with you.

But had the best multi-player for its generation ;)Chiddaling

I thoguth halo 2 was an awesome awesome game much better than halo 3 in terms of multiplayer. The worst AAA game is perfect dark zero by a significant margin.

You never played WarioWares Smooth Move, a game with about 2-3 hours worth of campaign that you do not want to go back through again once you finish. Just glad I didn't pay anything to even play it because I was done with it in an afternoon.

For me it has to be NMH. that game was deeply flawed and nearly broken.

I disagree. In my opinion Perfect Dark Zero is the least deserving AAA scored gameI've ever played.

[QUOTE="Chiddaling"]But had the best multi-player for its generation ;)Episode_Eve

As a gamer that player with Halo 2 every step of the way. From the beginning of its online, when matchmaking was just as slow as Gears 2 (lol), to the days of standbying and dummy glitching, to the days of modding that almost completely killed the game, to bxr, superjumping, and other small errors, I've played it all. And even after all the problems, I spent so much time through Halo 2's lifespan that I still look at the game as one of the best of its generation, and a innovator of how console online systems can work.

I spent more time in Halo 2 than I probably ever will with Halo 3. Don't get me wrong, Halo 3 is an amazing package that outdoes Halo 2 in almost every way, but it's hard to try to match the amount of hours with the other. The same happened with Brawl as well, as I went back to Melee. And I'm sure not even SC2, with how promising it will be, will match the amount of time I put into Starcraft.

Yeah, yeah, we get it already. Everyone hates Halo and it deserves a -9000 review score. All the reviewers just get payed to give it high scores and all the people playing it right now are being mind controlled by the evil M$ corporation. *Sarcasm off* Seriously, these anti-Halo threads seem to be making a comeback.

No, inFamous and anything made by Sucker Punch is.

I respectfully disagree. First off, I enjoyed the Library and never really noticed the level desgined until everybody started whining about it. Onto Halo 2... The single player wasn't as good as Halo: CE, but for all its worth it was great. It had story, some great gameplay, and variety. The Arbiter storyline itself was better than the Chief's, but the same cannot be said about the gameplay. One of levels kinda dabbed at stealth which would have been nice, but nope, extremely undercooked. The multiplayer was amazing though, much better than CE, though CEs was still great in the time of no Xbox Live.

Edit: For more details on the Halo trilogy, read my non-bias (no, seriously, no bias here) in my reviews of each game! I thought they were pretty good anyway...

You should really be blogging this stuff. But I thought the campaign was fun and I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Though it only takes 2 hours to beat WarioWare's campaign, the campaign isn't what that game's about. It's a party game, simple as that. Being able to unlock all the microgames relatively quickly is convenient for a game of that style so that it can be played with other people instantly. Almost all the microgames are fun too. There are a couple of duds, but nothing so terrible that it worsens the overall experience. I honestly believe that Smooth Moves is the best party game to ever be released on consoles. The two hour campaign has lasted me atleast 20 hours with replayability, which is impressive considering the each microgame rarely last more than 10 seconds.

Anyway, back on topic: I think the worst AAA game ever is the Wii port of Okami. I thought the controls were among the worst on the Wii.

Halo 2 was never as good as 1 or 3...

I loved halo 2.The single player was short but the online multiplayer more than made up for it.Really when u look at the length of halo 2 there really doesnt seem to be much difference with the length of current games.The single player portion of all games seem like theyve been shortend since the current gen systems came on the scene.

you know what is pathetci , , 3 of the most disappointing games are as follows-

perfect dark zero -9.0

halo 2- 9.5

halo 3-9.5

lol , 3 what are the odds,

of the 3 most overhyped piece of fpses today or near today its nearly impossible but you can thank microsoft , lol

[QUOTE="Episode_Eve"][QUOTE="Chiddaling"]But had the best multi-player for its generation ;)Chiddaling

So you are saying Perfect Dark Zero was a better FPS?

[QUOTE="Chiddaling"][QUOTE="Episode_Eve"] One of the best. UT2004 was arguably better :wink:. And Socom was the most played, very balanced, and strategic.skrat_01

Halo 2 won Multiplayer Game of the Year over UT2k4 in 2004 :roll:

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="Chiddaling"] OMG, I totally forgot about UT2004. That game was teh awesome. 8)krp008

Halo 2 won Multiplayer Game of the Year over UT2k4 in 2004 :roll:

:|

What angle are you coming at from here?

I am just saying these titles are 'awesome' and counter strike was the definitive online multiplayer game of last generation....

Where did I begin to debate about scores?... by all accounts Halo 2 was the best online console game of last generation, damn good in its own right, and a breakthrough for console owners, its no surprise.

So....?

Explanation?

:?

Please offer some more thoughtful insight.
