James Reynolds | November 7, 2008Just had a conversation with a friend so lets put it to the poll! For … all … zero of you to vote on!

James 1:
Here’s a thought. Halo 2 is better than Halo 3. To me it seems that the third one hasn’t got an original bone in its body and while neither were better than 1 at least 2 tried to improve not just copy.
James 2:
Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah.
Woah.
Halo 2 was NOT better than Halo 3 … Are you crazy? I would at MOST say it’s equal … But not better …
James 1:
Halo 2 tried to build on the first one but added more and changed itself (ie the boss battle, the Brutes, the Avatar and the Battle Rifle). All 3 did was put all of the ingredients of the first two together. For example they just ripped the ending of 3 from 1 (driving). While the boss battle of 2 didn’t work I think it was incredibly lazy of them not to do something original.

James 2:
On the contrary, your definitions of “Original” are confined within the Halo universe. Those concepts are rife throughout FPS’ globally, all Halo 2 did was abandon the stylistic and radical way of doing things and adopt a more generic approach.
Need to end on an epic note? Throw a fucking boss in … Sure … That’s never been done before. Halo 3’s last level is utterly epic and you know it – The only 2 points Halo 2 really improved on were the Brutes and the Arbiter, it’s a shame neither was ever capitalised upon and both concepts were poorly executed.
Halo 3 took you back to the grass roots but tried not to outright drop any of the things they (arguably) mistakenly brought into 2. Long story short: Halo 1 > Halo 3 > Halo 2.
James 1:
WHatever. You want to play a good Halo game play Halo, a good map editor play Far Cry, a good online FPS play COD4. Halo 3 is inferior to all those games and many more. When 2 was released it was king of the mountain (if only for a little while). It seems to me that 3 wasn’t as successful as it should have been and only did well on the backs of its older brothers. Just ask the hardcore group of people who still only play 2 online and shun 3 which one is better. I don’t think anyone will support 3 as much.
James 2:
On the contrary, I’d rather play Halo 3 and use Forge purely because FarCry is and always will be a lousy game.
But I do regularly play COD4 and I would play Halo again if I hadn’t already done it 110% but you know what I will never go back and play again? Halo 2.
Halo 2 is the one that was only successful because of 1 and 3 wasn’t as successful as 1 because 2 tanked the reputation, every industry analyst will know this!
And you can’t refer to the hardcore still playing 2 because I can refer to the “hardcore” still playing any game … Hell … Korea is still obsessed with the 8 year old Starcraft O.o
James 1:
Whats that? You suck? Yeah, I know.
We will always disagree on Halo and, as always, you are wrong.
So what do you think?
Regards,
JamesR.
James 2 is correct! And obviously you.
Halo is shit. If it was a person, I’d spit on it, urinate on it and then spit and urinate on it some more.
Btw. Someone really needs to invent something to make computer games reality, so I can piss and spit on them.

You’ll just have to do us a favour and visit the Bungie studios and piss/shit and spit on the source!
I knew that 4th option was going to cause trouble
I guess this is what happens when you get readers – you quickly start to despise their contrary opinion.
I’ve never understood this “Halo is shit” nonsense. Seriously, what are they comparing it to?
half Life, everybody seems to Compair it to half Life. which is really really annoying.
