one thing that kept me coming back to halo 2 was the glitches. I could get out or on top of almost all the maps. and although i am very fond of blackout, i would have been even happier with a direct port of lockout with improved details. i love the way the map looked, what with all the neverending white snow. avalanche however is perfect, i never played halo one so my expectations weren’t very high, this map made the game fun again.

haha, navigated here from the Bungie.net weekly update and saw this prescient post. Maaaaaad props dude I was thinking Beaver Creek the whole time!

Funny about the Sno-hog, they DEF should’ve added that but he was just talking about the Hornet, weak. They could’ve at least skinned the tires to treaded triangles! That would’ve added a lot. I’ve used a lot of conjunctions in this post…

What I think should happen, since the old “new” Halo 2 maps are avabile for download still, there should be away in which those maps are playable in Halo 3. I sounds like it would take some time to think it out, and do it, but it would allow orginal players of Halo and Halo 2 to enjoy the classic new Halo 2 maps. It might look a little tacky, but this would allow Bungie to design maps that have various ways in which the gameplay can change, because not every gamer is the same. The continous repeat of things is what moved me to Call of Duty 4 and back to Halo 2.

Personally I love H3 more than H2. Most of you will assure me I’m sure that I say that because I suck at H2… whatever…
The reason, in my opinion that most H2-ers don’t like H3 is that the pace has changed. Now It’s no longer who can fix the unbalanced weapon system of H2 with RRX YY RRX and BXR. Now H3 has a suddo-strategy FPS that still has that one man rape machine feeling of H2. Personally I think that H3 and H2 are both great but stem from H1 in opposite directions…
H3>–(H1)– H3= strategy
H2= speed
H1= speed + strategy
-Link 04 is my gamertag… add if you want to talk or play.

I really think if halo3 was more like halo2, it wouldn’t have lost as many people to CoD4. I found it hard to transition back to Halo3 because I was doing great on CoD4. However, my two friends (back from a one month vacation) didn’t have it so I forced myself to stay on halo3. Halo3 has a horrible framerate compared to CoD4 and it is noticeable until you get used to it.

But halo3 is slower gameplay and even the return of lockout won’t change that. They had to change the health system to account for the assault rifle but I really hate it. Slow gameplay, slow walk speed, die easier. Halo2>Halo3. The only problem is halo3 isn’t a bad enough game to go backwards.
