Default Most hated Halo feature

some might need a little more explaining.

the flag one. what i mean here is during any capture the flag, assault etc game this happens. ie, neutral bomb: you drag the bomb into their base, kill all of their team, go to arm it, but in seconds they all respawn right next to you and kill you. but when they are arming it in your base, you appear on the other side of the map.

shotgun one. i'll chase a guy around, and shotgun him in the back 5 times but he wont die, instead he'll turn around and kill me with a single needler or something... i know it happens to you guys too


other hated things are: no fall damage, if you dont have a sniper in coagulation you're screwed, melee is almost worthless anymore, grenades don't work worth crap, what's the use of shooting someone if their shield automatically goes up anyways (at least in halo 1 if they didn't die, at least they are weakened)


eh, i'm too lazy to get into it... what are some of your thoughts about stupid things on xbox live halo 2


how the heck did this game get 8 million copies sold when it has so many problems with it??

Speaking of Halo 2, I'll probably be on tonight if anyone wants to play.

Why would there being no fall damage be something to get pissed at? Its a minor annoyance, if you actually care about such a little thing.

Melee - Its more important than even and I use it much more in Halo 2 than I ever did in Halo. They gave you a badass sword that cut guys down in one or two hits. You think Melee was useless?

I still love grenades and they work great for me. In fact, I rarely dual weild because I can't use grenades when I do. As for the shields, its called making the game more difficult, and was a part of addrewssing the complaint that Halo was too easy.

I read your complaints and I honestly wonder if you playing the same game that I am.

And so no one starts screaming "YOUREW A HALO FANBOIY AND YYOU'L; SAY ANYTHING TO DEFENCD HALO UNTIL YOU DIE!1!11!" here are my complaints about Halo 2.

Dual Weilding - It seemed pretty unimportant. I preferred to single weild with grenades and the dual weilding seemed pretty worthless except in close combat.

Melee - I thought it was too emphasized in Halo 2. I walways found myself in close combat, especially when those gorilla look bastards were around.

Level Design - The stage on the Covenant homeworld was the exact same level repeated about 10 times. Thats unacceptable.

The Ending - If a sequel doesn't pop out on the Xbox within the year, I'll feel completely let down. In fact, it came out of nowhere and happened so unexpectedly that I predicted that Halo 2.5 or 3 is already complete.

Length of Game - Far too short and the ending made it seem shorter than it was. Another reason why I think the next Halo is already done or at the very least Bungie has already spent a long time working on it. Once again, if not, I'll feel completely let down.

New Vehicles in Single Player - It seemed like they were made for multi-player and then just added the the single player game. Not enough time with them or missions using them.

Design Repetitiveness - I would have liked to see something more original in the Covenant vehicle designs. The new ones just seemed like tweaked versions of the Human ones (especially the Covenant jeep-like thing with the gun on top).
