The most typical and relevant arguments against Halo 2.
The best of the best from the Halo2sucks.com forum. Great recreational reading.
Halo stories that remind us of how much we loved Halo C/E and just how tragic Halo 2 really is.
The most common concerns regarding Bungie's structure of Halo 2 on Xbox Live.
"So good to see other people who feel the same way about halo 1 vs. 2. The more i play h2 the more it just feels like a totally watered down version of halo. Make this site huge and hopefully get alot of people behind it to make bungie do something about this game, it could have been by far the best thing to happen to console games in years, but instead we get a very run of the mill first person shooter, that i predict will be dead or slow selling in a year max." - Strangepurple
"In halo 1 if somebody steals your kill, it's usually because you missed a headshot when you could have nailed one, but in halo 2 there's not really much you can do other than what's easy - and that's holding the reticle on their body and pulling the trigger... halo 2 doesn't tickle my interest enough to keep me coming back because there's very little to improve on." - JUXTaposer
"I describe it as a cross between unreal tournament and ghost recon or navy socom or any Tom frickn' Clancy game. Its as if Halo went from being a step above the rest to now with Halo 2 trying to be like the rest." - weadmd
"Microsoft saw the halo franchise as big $$$. bungie made the game so that it would die! And also with a cliffhanger ending... This means everyone who wants to find out what happens in the story, or play halo 3 (not crap halo 2) is going to have to wait... everyone who wants to play halo 3 is going to have to buy a $400 Xbox, controllers at $30 a pop, etc...They sold out, for noobs, for money. That’s all halo 2 has been, is a big marketing ploy. All for the money - the pro's have been spat on." - omninutt
"It sucks [when] I'm forced out of my playing style of sniping to join in the n00bfest SMG's behind the Quake style gravity lift in Collosus. If I pick up the Beam Rifle, I can't get far enough away to use it. If I pick up a Battle Rifle, I'll take 2 shots and some SMG n00b will steal the kill..." - Pyroteq
"I just played my first Halo 2 tourny/lan at a local center in Seattle. Even though we won really easily (me stk-toxin and proxa) it had to be the most NOT fun tourny I have ever experienced, I've honestly had more fun playing in a Halo 1 tournament and losing. Proxa even sold his xbox and halo 2 on ebay as soon as he got home After the tourny, we played Halo 1 3v3's, that was prolly 10 times as fun as the H2 tourny...." - NT-SpArTaN
