Should I?

Should I?

No.

Have you played the original Halo? Are you interested in the story?
It is one of the best games on the Xbox and still has a lot of people playing multiplayer.

for xbox yes, for pc no?   is what i gather.

Yes.

I beat Halo 1 and 3. Heard Halo 2's campaign was crap from a friend and held off on buying it. My last final is tomorrow and I was going to go out and buy it when I finished class.

"Should I buy Halo 2?"

No...just no.

Avoid it at all costs and just read the Giantbomb information on it.

So far, 3 for no and 4 for yes. pretty close.

Yes, if you liked Halo 1&3, you will also like Halo 2

Nah, I really enjoyed the first, but the second's campaign was boring and really felt repetitive, Halo 3 works out the kinks and makes a really impressive game. I avoid Halo 2 like the plague now.

Why buy halo 2 when we have Halo 3?

Just wait for Halo 5, I hear it is the bomb

1) theres plenty of players online

2) the campaign pwns anyway. Maybe not the vehicle sections so much though :P but the arbiter levels are amazing stuff. And the arbiters story is way awesome as well. And legendary is certainly a challenge. As in it's very hard. Some bits are so hard you won't even be able to mighty noob combo your way for them. Because a split second outside cover means 200 plasma bullets hit your chest simultanously.

3) swat is slightly less lame

4) it's cheap!

So in conclusion... YEAH!

No, Halo 2 in my opinion is the worst in the series.

The only good bits were the Arbiter levels, but they had hella crappy level design.

"Avoid it at all costs and just read the Giantbomb information on it."

I'd like to know what people hate about about Halo 2.

I thought halo2 had the second best campagin after numbero uno.

Why not?  It's damn cheap.

Yes. You should. The story isn't awful. There's no cliffhanger now that Halo 3 is out. The PC version is a fine port, it's graphically better than the original Xbox version, and if your computer can run it and you've got an Xbox 360 controller, it plays fine. The Xbox version still has more mulitplayer than the PC version, but they are both still pretty playable (even though I haven't played in a long time.) Halo 2 is a fine game, and now that it's not very expencive, it's worth the money."

Sure, if it is a good price.

"Sure, if it is a good price."

Yes buy it, especially if you care about the Halo story

Its a very good looking Xbox game

So what I got from all this is that the Yes's outweigh the No's. Some people said that campaign stinks though.

One final question, is the game fun to play?

If you want some achievements, buy it on PC.

yes its like 10 dollars new

Heck yeah. The campaign is pretty weak, but the multiplayer is still awesome. Though, last time I tried playing it online, it'd take like 10 minutes to start a single match. Hmm... this makes me think I should reconsider my suggestion...

Halo 2 is a game that, as a serious gamer, you have to play and discover how disappointing it is for yourself.

Gee gramblor, makes me want to run right out and get it now lol.

Who gives a shit if there's plenty of people online!?!? The online is pretty much Halo 3 only worse...

No. Get 3

I personally think Halo 2 was the best Halo game, single and multi.

Its a no from me.

I liked it and there's still a few people playing the multiplayer. I personally thought it was a steal for $20 brand new.
