Yep. My very first Rumble Pit match on Cubed began with me spawning directly across from another player and immediately killing them. :lolOuterWorldVoice said:

Halo 2's strong point was and always will be the maps. There isn't any weapon balance since they nerfed a lot of things (Needler and Magnum). The vehicles are pretty good, and the Gauss isn't over-powered as Halo 3's version. But the core gameplay is still five years old and Halo 3 does a lot of better things right (better weapon balance, removed battery from Sword, reduced grenade count). Still, though, maps and game-types differ and that's where certain people will disagree. Halo 2's maps and game variants like 3 Plots really are missed from the action in 3.Stormtrooper30 said:

This. If you wanna have strong vehicle weapons, fine, but don't screw the people on foot over with stickies that only take out a vehicle 50% of the time or less. That's just mean. "but but but they're vehicles. they should be stronger..." It should be a high risk/reward. Yeah, get into a vehicle because it's powerful, can move around real fast, and can rack up fast kills, but if you get stuck you should die. That's real game-play balance. There is almost no risk in riding around in vehicles, and that is a big reason why the vehicles have taken over Halo3. It requires 2 laser shots to kill a tank. What is that? I don't care if it's a tank, it's overpowered and should have a weakness. But it doesn't. That hurts the game.Stormtrooper30 said:
Getting a rank of mid 20's, a 30, or even mid to high 30's was a joy for me in Halo 2. That number actually meant something, at least then, before cheating erupted. Before that occurred, when you seen a 30+ guy, they were most likely a damn good player. In Halo 3, you will encounter tons of 50's who are terrible. Hopefully they go back to a more strict, challenging rank system for the next Halo FPS.KevinRo said:

Definitely. I can't even go back and play Halo 2 for no more than a couple of hours thanks to Halo 3. Halo 3 is just a better game in terms of weapons balance, gameplay, and vehicles (those things really make all the difference). I prefer the maps on Halo 3, really because I don't understand the love for Terminal or Headlong.Thermite said:

And yet, isn't the reason the pistol in Halo2 was noobified compared to what it was in Halo:CE "supposedly" because it only appealed to the hard core gamers? Bungie used the word unbalanced. I interpret that as, "all the people who are good at halo are going to demolish the newcomers to the game. So it would be a good idea to change it for the purpose of leveling the playing field." So in reality, what you claim is ludicrous, really happened. I'm confident that the same issue was also a factor in the outcome of Halo3, perhaps a tad less, because Halo had been around for a while at that point.LAUGHTREY said:

Griffball, however it is only Heroic DLC required so it is rare that you will get Griffball on a Mythic map.cjelly said:
