: The campaign, while buggy, was a fantastic story. I could go back and watch
: those cutscenes over and over again. I did enjoy the gameplay as well.
: Sure the Brutes were bullet sponges, but that didn't make the game any
: less fun for me.

: NO NO NO!! This is exactly the decision that they made in with Halo 3 that I
: absolutely hated. They changed the code around to make it play similarly
: to Halo 1, they added in some updated original maps, but it was NOT Halo 1
: multiplayer.

: The great thing about Halo 2 was that it had so much personality to it when
: it came to multiplayer. There was always something to do even though
: without the need for Forge. It was 3 hour long games of Zombies, glitching
: out of maps, super bouncing, simple-but-effective custom games, honor rule
: custom games. To me, it is what made the multiplayer great. Sure, button
: combos were annoying, but it was something that defined the game.

: And don't even get me started on the maps. Halo 2 had the best lineup of maps
: I've ever seen in an FPS. They gave the game so much replay value. There
: was ALWAYS something fun to do.

: If they were to add in Halo 2 Multiplayer, I would want it 100% unchanged
: from what it was like on the Original Xbox. I want the button combos, the
: glitches, the super bounces, everything. It is those tiny things that made
: the game so great, and my experience would feel stunted without it.

I love the super lunge as much as anyone (I'd actually like a custom game option to increase the length of lunge to as long as I want), but I'd never as a game dev allow those to exist in a competitive setting. It completely distracts from the core gameplay going on, which is still quite good.
