>Halo 2 second level looks really similar to Iraqand that's a good thing, fuck Saddam
lol ok
It specifically states many times in the game that it's New Mobasa in Africa. It's also the year 2552, so Saddam and all of us are long dead in the Halo universe.

I got the mcc and played through Halo CEIs it just me or is this game kind of overrated?I mean I felt like I was going through the same rooms killing the same enemies sprinkled around the field with no rime or reasonIt doesn't help that for some reason the best weapon in the entire game is the most common one: the plasma pistolYou would think that the cool looking ones would be better like the needler but no
>>719869680All Bungie Halo games are GOOD or VERY GOOD. Fuck you!
>>719869680Halo CE was incredible for it's time, but FPS games have come a long way. Halo 2, 3, ODST and Reach are still masterpieces, but Halo 4 is a shambles and thankfully Halo 5 remains quarantined forever on the xbone, never to escape.
>>719869680lol is that what your favourite e-celeb told you? I will rape you with my needler, little zoomie feggit lolololol
>>719869680All the weapons are good though. The rocket and sniper are power weapons. Don’t lie and pretend that you’d keep the plasma pistol over them. The shotgun vaporises the flood, and guess what? It only starts appearing on the game when the flood become the dominate enemy. The human pistol absolutely destroys grunts, jackals, and hunters, and will one shot elites once you pop their shields. The plasma rifle is the plasma pistol but better. Instead of charging your shot to melt the jackal or elite shield, you just focus fire on them for 2 secs and they’ll melt, then you keep firing onto them until they die. That leaves two weapons remaining, the needler and the assault rifle. The only problem that the needler has is that it’s not good against shields, but it is great against a non shielded enemy if you know how to use it right. With a needler you’re supposed to keep firing needles into an enemy non stop until a supercontinent explosion occurs, and at that point they will die instantly, and guess what? There’s almost always a plasma rifle or pistol lying around for you to take down and enemy’s shield so you can start filling them needles. That leaves the assault rifle, the basic, standard, starting weapon of the game. Of course this gun isn’t gonna be a strong as the rest, it’s your default weapon. But it does just fine again unshielded enemies, and it is your best choice against flood infection and flood carrier forms, so it too has its place in the game. It also holds the most ammo in the game, so it’s a great choice if you don’t want to keep picking up and dropping weapons.
What's that Plank? Plank says FPS games are for midwits with no inner monologue.
>>719869680What shooters do you find excellent?
>>719870679>FPS games have come a long way...into becoming pure shit
>>719871114Half Life, Doom 3, BioShock 2
>>719871159Fine, but between Halo 1 and Halo 2, Bungie added a lot of QoL to the game.
>>719868907oh hey guy
>>719871281>Half Life, Doom 3, BioShock 2Based choices, all of these are kino.
>>719869680the best weapon is not the plasma pistol, it's the human pistol. that thing two-hits just about anything with no charge up time
>>719871381But it's bad against shields like all ballistic weaponsPlus I find it hard to kill elites with it due to their erratic movementsKilling hunters with a single shot felt really satisfying though
>>719871381The pistol blows against elites. Plasma weapons annihilate them.You shouldn't be experiencing ANY overheating if you have basic skills with the plasma pistol/rifle.
>>719871493>hard to kill elites with it due to their erratic movementsThis. Their narrow ass heads in particular jolt around like insane. Getting consecutive headshots is extremely difficult.
Halo 2 has the best story but the game itself is so fucking ugly. The graphics are total trash. Halo 1 and 3 are unironically a couple of my favorite art styles in all of gaming, so it's bizarre how Halo 2 has one of the worst.
>>719871891There’s a remake with better graphics you know
>>719871891H2 was bad graphics wise but H3 was way worse. Overly detailed brown and gray graphics typical of the 7th generation.Sacred Icon from H2 looked the most visually like CE.
>>719872017Careful. You'll ruin the thread mentioning the remaster.
>>719871891It's because they'd built the game around having dynamic lighting but it got cut since the xbox couldn't handle it, just compare how the E3 demo and other pre-release stuff looks compared to the final game
>>719871891Try this anon https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3276750116&searchtext=
>>719871891>>719873858Halo 2 spent a lot of its dev cycle under the belief that stencil shadows would be in the game, but it didn't work out, they couldn't get them running on xbox hardware at the scale Halo 2's levels were at and the dev cycle was so tight that they couldn't optimise enough or remove and rework the game without stencil shadows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSu0QkDIjMIThat's why Halo 2 looks so goofy. Halo 3 looked great then, still looks good now, except for human faces.
>>719868907weird comparison, even if the original trilogy was made during the War on Terror and the Iraq War
>>719871891>>719872017>>719873858>>719874037>>719877556Halo 2 had the most cut content of any game in the franchise.>wall leaning, and there was also talk of ai using flashlights to find you in the dark after you shot out lights, that lighting system was later of course redone>There was going to be a whole level after Quarantine Zone where you're driving through the labyrinth of tunnels under the ring in a "Forerunner Tank", avoiding the Gravemind's tentacles as they flew past like freight trains.>In the original script when miranda was in a phantom she spoke with truth. Their plan was to send chief into the pit where the gravemind was and blow him and the flood up>Strapping a bomb to Chief's back in the chamber directly below the index chamber in the center of the Library>Flood leader effectively disabling the Ring by living on the trigger. Definitely showing that the flood is winning the 1000 year war with the sentinels on this halo opposed to installation 04's containment.>the flood invasion of earth being the a layer of the final "act" of the script. Something about "we wanted everyone to end up in the same place at the end". Ultimately, Chief, Arbiter, Truth, Cortana, Gravemind, and Mendicant were all supposed to come together, at the Ark on Earth, and there were a couple twists involved, but that's where it's shrouded in mysteryBy far the weirdest thing about Halo 2’s development is how Bungie grossly overestimated the power of the original Xbox and how they wasted a lot of time and resources on various things they knew well in advance simply would not make it into the retail game like the e3 demo and a new engine the hardware wouldn’t be able to support. They also wanted it to be a tactical shooter early on before changing it back towards the end and it really shows in how the enemies behave and how the game is horribly unbalanced on LegendaryHalo 2 was a pure passion project
>>719870881What is it Wilson? You are telling me that little timmy over here is just too slow in his brain to play FPS games and has to resort to turn based combat RPGs?
>>719878028>>719877556Halo 1 and Halo 2 deserve the RE2R treatment
