And halo 1 has Xbox Connect or called xbc. It makes it online. And free. Way better than Xbox live.

Halo 2 is the weakest entry of the series. Like so many Halo 2 was your first "Real" online experience. Nostalgia blinds you to the fact of how easy it was to get kills. The increased speed and homing of the Plasma pistol. Lock on Rockets took away all skill on big maps and the fire rate was really good. You could swipe head shot with the sniper, and the BR. Melee lunge, terrible idea as it took away the ability to bait someone into taking a swing then counter attacking. Strafing was kinda useless if you were up against someone who can aim even a little. Dual wielding added what exactly? How about BxR or BxB were these exploits really considered high level play? Halo 2 did give us proximity chat that's still pretty great. It's ranking system was simple and it worked. I'd enjoyed Lockout and Headlong. However at the end of the day a 3 head shot pistol that can miss is still more balanced than a 4 shot BR that can't.
