i honestly think halo 3 is the best in the series, despite it's few problems. halo 2 just felt flat to me, and the most refined part of it is the MP. plus it was realy hard to get into being the arbiter, he just wasn't as badass as the chief. story wise it is a good game, but hard to feel excited about playing. halo 3 just refined and fixed everything that was wrong w/ halo 2 in both SP and MP (though i still see a fair share of glitches, like stickys dissapearing off of ppls bodys) and is over all just a better game packed w/ content.

I live Halo3's sp more than Halo2's but not enough to beat out how much better I think Halo2's mp is.

I didn't like Halo 2 at all. The whole arbitor thing ruined it for me. It was Metal Gear Solid 2 all over again. you know what I'm talking about...(stupid Raidan)

But I really like Halo 3.

Im not saying Halo3's maps are crap, they are good. But halo2 maps felt more balanced. I hope they will bring back some halo2 maps with a next patch

As fun as Halo 3 is, it just doesn't feel as groundbreaking as Halo 2. Halo 2 was a MAJOR upgrade from Halo in terms of completely streaching the Xbox to the limit graphics and multiplayer wise while Halo 3 almost feels like a better looking expansion pack for Halo 2. That said, the original is still my favorite.

I liked both. I like Halo 3 the most though. Although I am not playing it much online. I am waiting for them to bring back Team Swat! :evil: (and not just a three day Team Swat)

Halo 2's multiplayer was much better, but Halo 3 has the great online co-op, so I don't know.

I loved Halo 2, because the multiplayer was so 'unique'. Then Halo 3 came out and I still play that now. Although, I went back to Halo 2 for a bit last week, and it just doesn't play the same anymore, since it's not on the same level as Halo 3. Still, I would like to see Lockout and Turf

Well I haven't played Halo 3 yet but I really don't think Halo 2 is all that great either so I guess I can't say for sure until I play Halo 3 (which will be this week since I am going to my friend's house).

It goes like this IMO:

Campaign: Halo 2

Multiplayer: Halo 3

Though both had great MP and Campaign I enjoyed Halo 2's campaign a bit more and Halo 3's MP a bit more. They are both great games and I gave the entire series a 10. When including the 1st one than it ties Halo 2 in the Campaign category.

i've played both. when i got halo 3 i thought it was the best game i ever played. but then the campaign and multiplayer had a weird feel to it after about a couple of months. the thing i really enjoyed about halo 2 was the city levels in campaign and the huge levels and hectic moments from the multiplayer.(Headlong, Coagulation, and Terminal were my favorites and the craziest games happened on halo 2)

I like Halo 3's multiplayer a WHOLE lot more than Halo 2. It would be nice though, for some of the maps from Halo 2 and 1 to transfer over to Halo 3.

In other words you love the autoaim in halo2 because you can get kills easier.

I would say Halo 3 because it has a much more of a content then Halo 2. The increase of social features such as the theater mode and the add of 4 players co-op made Halo 3 a better package for me. Also I thought that the Halo 3's single player was done better then Halo 2 and the multiplayer was so much improved. The only thing I missed from Halo 2 though was the maps which I really hope they implement most of them into Halo 3. Really missed Lockout, Midship, Turf, Headlong, Relic, Coagulation, Containtment, Ascension, Ivory Tower, Isolation, Warklock, and Beaver Creek...:(

IMO- Halo 1 is the best of all three.

but since this topic isn't about that, I'm gonna go with halo 3 here. Halo 3 is basically Halo 2 with cleaner graphics, new weapons, and smoother controls. You can't argue that. Plus, the LIVE community is more active. Although sometimes I enjoy going back to Halo 2 just for kicks, and it's really fun. They are close.

one more thing, I really think Bungie should implement the old Halo 1 and 2 maps into a DLC download pack. that would keep me playing for a long time.

Nope pretty sure I said faster/stronger br. If you ever played a mlg Halo 3 custom they make the br stronger so it seems more like Halo 2 but its just not as fast. Dont care about auto aim.

Halo 3 is better. I loved H2, it's still a fun game, but you can really see what was bad about it now.
