wtf reid18 still plays??
Sorry anon, 2005 is that way

2004 anon
>>330735750
I watch a lot of this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92G8ELYQGUQ
>>330736820
yeah. he just uploaded this like a week ago.
religiously plays halo 2 on MCC.
>>330737346
sick quad shot at 3:01
>>330737457
I miss h2. remember arkive? do you know if he still plays?
>>330737828
bxr and quad shotting literally separated halo 2 from every shooter. they should've kept it in for halo 3 and just added to the campaign to try and teach people first, just like active reload in gears.
>>330738217
not sure about arkive.
but dutchy still plays.
>>330738217
you're right about the button combos.
it would have been nice if they kept them but just implemented a tutorial to make it more noob-friendly.
>>330738912
>it would have been nice if they kept them but just implemented a tutorial to make it more noob-friendly.
at least it would explain to them how to do it. actually doing it on the other hand... I find it ridiculous a game like cs can have so many playrs and yet your shots go out of your crosshair due to weapon patterns. it just doesn't seem like a good game mechanic considering its the only fps to do that with bullets..
>>330737117
Halo 2 came out in 2004, but youtube was made in 2005.
>>330737117
>Halo 2 came out nearly 12 years ago
>Halo 1 came out nearly 15 years ago
jesus man
>>330739368
and the day reach came out was the day I started to hate video games
>>330739263
I was under the impression that tapping left click
kept your spread in the cross hairs. At least in CSS.
Posting a classic

>>330739598
pacing your shots does work too. better done at a distance. but I just find it funny how every new player will spray like a retard and miss every shot. I mean how does that not drive people away from the game when they're probably wondering wtf happened and where their bullets went
>>330739481
Reach had better mp than 3 though
>>330739696
this is the classic

hahahaha
>>330739846
>>330739749
Lol, yeah. You can empty a cv47 mag into a guy two feet away from you and miss,
but head shot a guy cross map with the shotgun.
>>330739928
>>330739962
Sorry you couldn't handle the changes autists
>>330739846
armor lock armor lock armor lock!
>>330740035
Easiest ability to bypass. How casual is this fucking board?
>>330740035
don't reply to bait. these fucking what's the best halo threads are stupid. everyone who's been there from the beginning and played religiously knows which one is the best...
>>330740126
It's all opinions.
>muh objectivity
Bullshit. I have bought every game up to 4 on release day and Reach is my favorite.
>>330740112
>Easiest ability to bypass
>just walk away and not get the kill every time someone uses it
at least equipment in h3 could only be used once and you had to pick it up..
armor lock also stopped the game dead same as the wall hacks in h4
>>330740250
your favorite =/= the best.
>>330740404
No, favorite = best these days. The times when people understood the difference are long gone.
>>330740381
I forgot to add that none of them were nearly as op as armor lock. you could still be killed in a bubble shield and regen
>>330740504
You could move around in a bubble shield as well. You sound like a scrub who couldn't figure out how to do anything other than run away when someone did something you didn't like. Armor lock was only good for two things:
>popping it on for a split second when someone was going to splatter you
>popping it on for a split second when someone is in melee range and letting the EMP down their shield
Anybody who complains about not being able to beat armor lock is bad at the game, and anybody who actually used it for more than a burst is even worse at the game.
>>330740708
>You sound like a scrub
>defending how bad reach is
ok, we're done here
>>330740780
See ya, enjoy being awful at Halo.
>>330740708
it can be beat, but it messes with the flow of the game man.
>>330740873
But having an uzi in one hand and a greengun in the other didn't mess up the flow by proving an easy, reliable mid-range instant kill? Giving Scorpions functional armor didn't change the flow of the game? What about nerfing the pistol, or adding swords that give you a dash? Every addition changed the flow of the game. In the end, it comes down to "I liked it" or "I didn't like it."
>>330741126
the plasma pistol is the only thing that sucked.
even then, it was still a pick up and not a load out. also, last time I checked, there were no scorpions on lockout or midship so I'm alright with that.
>>330741126
also noob combo was plasma pistol+br to the head. plasma pistol+smg could be avoided pretty easily.
>>330735750
true classic

>>330741303
The point is, everyone always has dumbass arguments trying to justify their points about what is and is not "objectively" (lol) better. Just play the ones you like.

>You wil never have late nights with friends playing Halo 2 coop campaign or pvp ever again
Hold me /v/ all those memories.
>>330741482
fair enough.
>>330740480
2 > 4
Anyone will agree with this at least
>>330741558
MCC man. was just up last night playing customs.
>>330741558
>pvp
please don't call it that. it's not an MMO
>>330741776
I think he phrased it like that to differentiate between cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.
>>330741126
>Every addition changed the flow of the game.
except there are huge changes and minor changes
1 and 2 had a lot of the same maps but played slightly different unlike the two compared to halo reach 4 and 5
halo 2 and 3 played a lot alike with still only minor changes
>>330742038
If you think changing the pistol, adding swords, and changing Scorpion armor from Halo CE aren't big changes then you never understood the multiplayer. Letting Active Camo hide your sword alone was a huge deal. Armor abilities are weapons too, and that's a fact.
>>330742234
>Letting Active Camo hide your sword alone was a huge deal
lol not even every map has the sword in h3...let alone...camo
>>330742234
but they're not pick ups.
equal starts and weapon spawns should never be messed with in halo.
>>330742353
>equal starts and weapon spawns should never be messed with in halo.
that goes without saying..
>>330742353
Still an equal start, as everyone had access to the same abilities. Choosing a jetpack is no different than choosing to pick up a power weapon.
>>330742454
>Choosing a jetpack is no different than choosing to pick up a power weapon.
>choosing
>rock paper scissors is f-u-n yo!
>>330742335
lol.......wtf.....dude......epic
>>330742454
not an equal start unless everyone picks the same ability. also, you don't just choose to pick up a power weapon, no one ever said on H3's pit, "I think I'll just pick rockets." You have to fight for that shit.
>>330735750
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhB4BHZ0jWA
>>330742584
Each ability has advantages and disadvantages. Choosing which power weapon and whether or not you want to go pick it up is the same. The advantage is a strong weapon, the disadvantage is situational use and the danger of getting to it and fighting other players for it. There's no difference and again, it comes to "I didn't like it."
>>330742738
still takes out a part of the game I liked in halo 1-3. there's a reason reach's population was on par with 3 after release it completely split the community down the middle
>>330742738
you don't "pick" power weapons.
you time their spawns and fight to the death for them.
>>330742848
And that's cool anon, I'm not condemning your choices at all. I'm just presenting the facts. I loved H3 and Reach equally myself, for different reasons. Sad that Halo 3 gets very little play now though, while Reach still has on average 15k players.
>>330742948
Please read my posts before responding so you don't embarrass yourself.
>>330743058
I did read it, but you only addressed similarities and not the differences between "picking" power weapons, and picking armor abilities. just decided to help you out is all.
>>330743196
The difference is that power weapons are much stronger in any situation than an armor ability, and so you have to earn them. It's the difference between an Olympic sprinter and a guy who jogs every day.
>>330743437
>power weapons are much stronger in any situation than an armor ability
explain.
>>330743763
I wouldn't think an explanation would be necessary when comparing rocket launchers, laser swords, sniper rifles, missile pods, and spartan lasers to a jetpack, a go fast button, a hologram, and an overshield that lasts 1.5 seconds and locks you into not moving. Do you really not see how the weapons actually advance the game and the abilities are just utility?
