Due to all the hubbub I started a playthrough of Halo for the Xbox 360. The original was ahead of its time, but you can clearly see 343 doesn't quite get it. Sure the new graphics are pretty good, but they changed the way the elites look, they are pulled directly from Starcraft Protoss, and the game has a stuttering framerate problem. It's so evident that Bungie knew what they were doing when they pushed boundaries on the original Xbox.
>>744648779>the new graphics are pretty goodHard disagree. Even at the time of its release I thought they were awful. So much visual clutter that you can barely make out what's what. And the lack of blood stains is unforgivable.
Why is Halo 2 so bad?
>>744649689I love Halo 2 it's so bad
>>744649689They turned most of the guns into weak garbage to accommodate for dual wielding.
>>744649785Where did this delusion come from? smg smokes everything single wield. every dual weapon does less damage when dual wielded, reloads slower when dual wielded, and has more spread when dual wielded. they are not weaker by any measure unless actually dual wielded. the smg in halo 2 does more damage to elites than the assault rifle did in halo 1. the only guns that are just weaker are the pistol and shotgun, which were replaced by much more fun and powerful counterparts in the form of the battle rifle/carbine and energy sword. The rocket launcher does more damage to elites - can actually kill the high ranks one shot on legendary. and the sniper rifle can damage the flood. the plasma rifle starts fast and slows down which is a reverse of ce where you had to hold the trigger down for over 2 seconds to get it to shoot fast. some weapons seem weaker on paper but are actually much better in practice like the needler which does less damage but fires much faster and more accurately, and the plasma pistol which tracks relentlessly in halo 2.I'm starting to thing you people are just really fucking dumb and believe whatever the common consensus demands over your lying eyes.
