Reminder that this campaign was shit on at launch and is only being praised now by zoomers that are impressed by HD cutscenes filled with lens flares and cinematic camera effects.

only good game ever

ok boomer

If you unironically think this it must be your only game ever.

People still generally agree that Halo 2's campaign has big problems.

Surprise, people are retards and reception changes over time like most good things. It took 10 years for MGS 2 shitposts about "durr Raiden gay, why can't i play as Snake?" to die down.

It was still better than same copy pasted snowy canyons and corridors of CE, which immediately nosedives at the 5th level and never recovers

Lol no.
2 loves to lock you in a room with respawning enemies or spawning enemies while youre on a moving platform.
With repeated geometry youre at least moving forward, 2 has this sitting duck shit which really doesnt belong in halo.
And 2 has those in almost every single level, while CE has you backtracking through 2.

Name a better single player fps campaign than CE's in 2001, ill wait.
Now name single player fps campaigns that are better than 2's in 2004
Doom 3, half life 2, Far cry, COD, FEAR the list goes on.
2 was always shit.

RtCW

HALO was never good

>Name a better single player fps campaign than CE's in 2001, ill wait.
Half Life

>Now name single player fps campaigns that are better than 2's in 2004
Half Life

This is actually true. Factually speaking, Halo 2 was the first (and as of right now, the last) good video game ever created.

H2 killed gaming

Agreed, even back then I didn't like it too much, the story was great but it falls apart with scrutiny. The fact is that the reason the game had so many fucking cutscenes was because they had to cut so much of the game, they literally admit to this in commentary. Cutscenes were used to replace entire missions.

Half Life's combat is dogshit though. Get real.

Yeah, nothing can compete with its high quality.

No, it literally was so bad and contagious that it killed every single other game.

>guns feel great
>can make enemies explode
>"combat is dogshit"
Okay zoomer

this is the most bang bang wahooo argument i've ever fucking heard. There's zero fun in Half Life. You play it for the "experience" and you like black mesa. Quit kidding yourself.

>firing a grenade round and blowing up 3 enemies at once
>not fun
Zoomer going zoomies

>throwing grenades like they're bricks on the fucking moon is totally fun
>the vortigaunts aren't totally the shittest fps enemy ever put into a game with their one easily telegraphed attack
>the game isn't a recycling of scripted moment, jumping puzzle, shit combat, again and again
>the game's final 1/3 isn't renowned for being the worst act in all fps's.
but sure, i'm the zoomer for not falling for this shit as being good.

>the game isn't a recycling of scripted moment, jumping puzzle, shit combat, again and again
lmao what am i reading, it's like you're complaining that the game has gameplay

stick to uncharted zoomer

Complaining about lunar physics or recycled content when defending Halo is a bad move dude. CE's last third being levels you already played but backwards was way worse than Xen

Halo CE's campaign is a genuine masterpiece but Halo 2's is shit on far too heavily.
Only the first 2 Arbiter missions drag on.

Only keyes and the library are bad.
Two betrayals was peak halo.

3 > 1 > 2 in terms of campaign
3 > 2 > 1 in terms of gameplay

This kills the halo 2 fag

Zoomer here, finished for the first time today on heroic and I fucking hated it

I'll replay it for the par score/times and I'll move on to Halo 3

I played every video games and Halo 2 is the only good one

>campaign gameplay
>CE>3>2

shut the fuck up grandpa. 2004 was a pretty kino year.

i'll take the equivalent of bloody palace with actual fun combat, over Half Life's meandering "cinematic" gameplay.

When you ignore H2, yeah it was.
You have played 2 games max

are you fucking kidding me? You can't just double shot that easily. Delete this.

>zoom zooms still get filtered by xen
I bet you hate lunar apocalypse in Duke 3D don’t you zoomie? Assuming you even played duke 3D

>OHHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAAH HALO 2 BAD, HL2 GOOD!!! WAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

After noe playing trough them I have to say that 2s campaign is the weakest. Compared to 1 and 3 it has some really long and tedious sections that move forward at a snails pace. Nothing as bad as the Library but then again that was the only part of 1 that I didn't like compared to multiple ones in 2.

3 had the most kino campaign, the writing itself was subpar but it had so much great moments compared to the shit in 2
