Halo 2 sucks, when is Lockdown coming out?

Seriously man, that shit should have come out 3 months ago. Like I said, I blame Ubisoft for this.

As for cheating; there still is this "super bouncing" shit that will never be fixed.

What the hell ? They're just using the Xbox 1 label on the box because they need a boxshot right, become it's going to be released after the Xbox 360 is.

I've havent been on. I gotta catch up on my Xbox RPG's before my DS rpg's come out(AW DS!!!!!) But i really want LOckdown. I dont care what it comes out for. I need a good live game...besides Forza

It is? Dangit, I just got X box this Christmas!

Yesh... It better play some of the older games...

I actually liked Halo 2- I thought it was a little easier than Halo 1, which is great for people like me who aren't exactly James Bond at shooters.

yes, it has, i find it boreding for some reason but the first halo i coulld play on all day

I've never played Rainbow Six 3 before and I was just stating my opinion that Halo 2 has lost it's touch and it isn't as enjoyable as it used to be. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy the game and I play often but it wasn't as fun as it used to be, it's just getting a bit boring now.

Halo 2 is boring because it rarely involves skill. If a guy comes around the corner with a rocket, and you have just an SMG or even a BR, whadda gonna do? However, any weapon could take down any weapon in halo 1.(No the pistol wasn't god. It took three headshots but a headshot was tougher to get)

The only people that say halo 2 involves no skill are just the ones who make it involve no skill. If you're any good at halo 2, you'll use skill in every decision you make during game play and even before.

What? All halo 2 ever comes down to is the better weapon. Turning a corner with 2 smg's and running into a guy with a sword. Not hard to see who is gonna win. or sneaking up on a guy with a sniper. You could have a shotgun but its so unreliable he'll probably get a no scope torso shot(no skopes= no skill)and melee you.

I think you're wrong, Raven. I think every part of the game requires skill. Or maybe if not skill, then logic. But I consider logic part of skill. For example, I don't rush around corners, and I crouch almost anytime I see someone on my radar. Then I can take people by surprise, sometimes assassinate them. When someone has rockets, stay far, far away, and get a long-range weapon. Don't go into narrow corridors that have snipers in them, kill them with grenades. If you play smart enough and have the skills to do it, then the game does require skill.

Anyways, no, Halo 2 has not lost its touch, though it's not quite as fun as it used to be. It's still my fave game to play.

Well, you make it sound like you try to avoid fighting all together at close range. A huge problem with the game are the respawn systems. I cant tell you how many times i spawn on a grenade or infront of the sword guy.

I seriously doubt you spawn exactly next to the guy, you probably spawn, walked around the corner and got beat down. And if you think it takes no skill to no scope, somethings wrong with you, the sniper is huge, you have a huge blind spot and the recoil throws off the spot you're targeting. And the easy way to not get killed by sword or rockets, stick them. It's easy to dodge rockets, just jump when he shoots. The majority of the time, they shoot at the ground you're at. If you jump, the least it does is take down your shields. Just shoot dual SMG's or whatever the whole time and just jump. So easy. With the sword guy, just stick him. Since you think it takes no skill for anything, you should be able to stick the sword guy.

He does have a point though as any team that has all the weapons can easily win as the sword and rocket both take no skill whatsoever to use.
