No it did not. I still play Halo 2 on my Xbox more than I do Halo3 or ODST. Bubble shields, Power drains and the other tacked on equipment is not Halo...sorry.ice_radonBut it literally is Halo...

lol you beat me to it. Personally i dont know anybody still playing halo 2. If your really dying for a halo fix play halo 3, it plays just like halo 2 with a few minor tweaks. i think its time for people to move on and look foward i feel reach is gonna respark many peoples intrest in halo.
I actually went back on Halo 2 this morning and re-downloaded the maps. I didn't manage to get into an MM game (probably because it was 10am GMT) but i did find some people and added them so i can get a big party and actually get a decent game.
I moved on from Halo 2 once the third game came out. But it is one of my favorite multiplayer games of all time, if not the best ever. I guess some folks will say Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike or Quake III are better, but really, I sunk more time into Halo 2 than all three of those games combined. It's sad to see it go, but I can't complain too much when I'd much rather play Halo 3 these days.
So you've gotta imagine that Halo 3 still has quite a few years left in it (at least 3?) even though Reach will be out this fall.DJ_Magnetohalo 3 will live for awhile because you will have those people that might not like reach and just play halo 3 . happend with halo 3 thats why people play halo 2 still .

Halo 2 had the best maps in any Halo game. Halo 3 still has a great multiplayer even though I end up on the same three maps every freakin game.

Halo 2's best maps where Halo CE remakes except Midship. Halo CE is still the king. Prisoner, Hang Em High, Wizard, Chill Out, etc. PS: Halo 3 plays nothing like Halo 2. In Halo 2 you actually had to have your crosshairs on the enemy, in Halo 3 you can aim a foot away from them and the shots still register. Halo 3 is more like Wanted.Halo 2 had the best maps in any Halo game. Halo 3 still has a great multiplayer even though I end up on the same three maps every freakin game.

I loved Beaver Creek. Such a small outdoor map. I used to PWN with the noob combo on that map before it was called the noob combo. So I was innovative at the time.I do have to admit halo 2 did have the best maps . I sure did love Beaver Creek:P

I never liked playing Halo 2 online, but I liked Halo 3 even less. I probably would have liked playing the games if they had custom games that you could search for and join.
i miss the halo 2 maps
Which is mostly why I like Halo 3 less. Horrible maps
No it did not. I still play Halo 2 on my Xbox more than I do Halo3 or ODST. Bubble shields, Power drains and the other tacked on equipment is not Halo...sorry.ice_radonIt's the inevitable evolution of Halo. Guess you're not going to like Reach then. Things need to change, it's the way of the universe.

Lol good one....If anything it's that your shots don't register when you DO hit them. And i think your referring to leading your shots from a distance not really a glitch just a part of the game.
But it literally is Halo...[QUOTE="Witchsight"][QUOTE="ice_radon"].Gen007
lol you beat me to it. Personally i dont know anybody still playing halo 2. If your really dying for a halo fix play halo 3, it plays just like halo 2 with a few minor tweaks. i think its time for people to move on and look foward i feel reach is gonna respark many peoples intrest in halo.
it does NOT play like halo 3 im sorry, duel weilding, horrible maps, no skillNo one said it first appeared in halo 2 all i said was its my favorite cause well halo 1 did not have online multiplayer and we all know it was called battle creek . which sounds better than beaver creek but what ever fun map none the less .you know you are a halo noob when you think beaver creek first appeared in halo 2.

It did have a great run, but I do think that the games are only improving as time goes on. Hopefully Reach will be the definitive Halo experience like the dudes at Bungie say it's going to be.
Halo 2 was a very important game for me and xbox live in general. I miss playing it because it was so great and all my friends played it.

Even though everyone misses halo 2's maps. I enjoy playing with friends through tournaments or competitions. The best thing for that is I can spend time playing game and winning cash prize with skills. A nice place I visit the most is bringit.com. Looking for people to join!bjcactusthis advertising wasnt as subtle
thats why there are so many game modes dont like em play MLG or custom games it pretty easy to play a game without them.as far as story goes, I think they all suck compared to the first Halo... but multiplayer wise, 2 beats the crap out of 3... I gotta agree that the bubble shields and all the tacked on little things got annoying pretty quick.

Halo is a good game, but don't you think it's kinda overated?PsYcHo_BrOwNiEWho cares about reviews? If the game is fun play it. I have never understood how reviews could affect the way someone feels about a game. Oh no it scored a whole .8 higher than I thought it should.. Completely ruined the whole game for me. As for Halo 2 I stopped playing it years ago and I would only go back to it for system link.
I still play Halo games in fact I play Halo 2 more than I play Halo 3. Is April 15th the last day for Halo 2 online multiplayer ?
