Why is Halo 2's Campaign SO AWESOME?! 

The Act Man Yes Act Man, I knew you would deliver, thanks for reviewing my favorite Halo!

I fund a meme about you here it is Does the act man is gay? I dont know doest the act man is gay?

I loved halo 2's soundtrack

The Act Man he blown away, plays blow me away

You keep it... I do know how to pick'em.

Samuel Boyd I like the ranked multiplayer and war zone but the campaign sucks dick

Halo 5 was so terrible that I couldn't wait for it to be over when I first played it, which gravely disappointed me considering how hyped the whole Hunt the Truth marketing had me. When it actually ended, I was even more annoyed with the cliffhanger as this Reclaimer trilogy had become a saga shortly before Halo 4's release, yet did not provide a complete story for Halo 5 besides the basic idea that Cortana survived and is now evil. I don't know how I feel about Halo Infinite's soft reboot as I still sort of am interested in seeing where the story was going (kind of like how I still wish The Amazing Spider-Man 3 actually happened), but I hope 343 actually learned their lesson rather than just stuffing in nostalgic stuff to try winning over old fans. Halo 5 was already supposed to make up for where Halo 4 failed.

Actually I was happy with the halo 5 campaign ending because it ended

In Halo 2 you're pissed because of how they end it. MC rides in on the dreadnought and when Hood asks what he's doing on that ship, he just says "Finishing this fight." as badass music starts playing. I was legit hyped to play one final mission after that cutscene, but Halo 2 just fucking ENDS.

@@spookynerd_jpg4223 honestly when I played that, my first thoughts were "fuck yes, they're gonna make another Halo game! I am already hyped."

I. Chrome - That's actually cool as shit, never noticed that

I. Chrome Whoa thats actually pretty cool I never noticed that

*Mind blown*

I. Chrome Its explained in the books but yes, when presented here it looks bit stupid...

Really cool, but my only problem with this is that Truth knew the rings would kill everyone, he says something to that affect right before he uses Johnson's hand to activate the rings.

And how Tartarus takes a second, almost taking the offer. But can't accept it himself.

@@tildencats9523 I bet that if Tartarus had actually listened to the Arbiter and offered to help him take down the prophets, we could have had playable brutes in Halo 3

@@tildencats9523 I loved that part. That line from arbiter is my absolute favorite Halo moment. Arbiter has all the reason in the world to hate Tartarus, yet he still tries to extend a forgiving hand…because Arby himself used to be blind like Tartarus was leading up to this. Then Tartarus’ hesitation, like he knew it was true, but wouldn’t let himself believe it because it goes against everything he’s ever believed. Wish we could moments like this in halo again. 343 will never come close to this era of Bungie writing/storytelling

@@SniperHawk57 man it's hard to pick a favorite part from halo 2 I use to play that game like it was an interactive movie.

There was no betrayal the prophets and there followers were too stupid to realise what they were doing.

Yep...

The true tragedy is how the remasters never tried something like this

@@5thar They’re graphics remasters, not re-imagined games. The gameplay wasn’t changed.

@@chasetoyama8184 Yea I know, I was just agreeing with the comment above that something more ambitious then the graphics remasters would of been pretty cool😎😎

Heres to the best for halo infinite👍🏻

@@OfficialCineGameVerdicts The recent Halo Infinite trailer made me more excited for Halo than I've been in years. I hope it's great.

Halo Infinite!!!!!!!

@@ryatt9365 true! That's because Halo4,Halo 5, Halo Wars 2 aren't as good as the Bungie's Halo! But I'm really excited for MCC coming to PC and most importantly Halo infinite

A wild Halo Infinite comes near "Wat ya mean." It says to in a mocking voice

LOL!

Yep

How is he still on air?

he has always been an asshole towards the gaming community back in the days and even now with his statement about esports.

The man who was the host for The Man Show is now a virtue signaling wimp.

but he fought the same enemy types as Chief. I remember when the game came out, players were ‘expecting’ to kill a few marine-type enemies as Arbiter, which only added to the empty feeling of the ending. Im not knocking the decision, Im just saying thats how it legit felt at the time

​@@lingricen8077 but tbf, being an elite killing marines while at the same time, being also MC killing covenants... It would feel just jarring. A huge mess. You would be like, what the heck am I doing ? Doing something and undoing it the next mission to some extent. Plus as the arbiter in the beginning you truly are in the "ennemy" side. You are killing people who could have unravelled the lies of the prophets. The arbiter acts truly as the right hand of the prophets. So I think they went the best and smartest way. You have 2 distincts factions with missions of opposite objectives and yet the plot goes forward at all time, and doesn't do then undo things jumping back and forth of factions.

@@lingricen8077human enemies aren’t fun to fight in halo

@@benc77yes they are lol. Makes me feel powerful

The only thing I can think of is that it's heavy on the exposition and you're just dangling there unable to do anything.

​@encycl07pedia- also some people didn't like that the flood had a face given to them. Like they wanted the flood to just be mindless zombies, not led by an extremely intelligent entity who they said looked like a venus fly trap

​@@Spongebrain97 fair enough

CHRISSSSS

Sounds about right, Halo 2 introduced me to actual rock music, as opposed to the hip hop stuff I had been listening to previously.

Maybe halo is actually why I might be atheist.

Daniel Peterson I'm not one to criticize, but at least let people make their own decisions. Don't go around telling people to join anything, or what is the best. It's better for people to arrive at that conclusion themselves. It's why students enjoy books and learn more when they're actually interested in the material. If they're told to do it, even if it is interesting, most of the time the desire to read or learn is lost, simply because they were told to read it. Your opinion is yours, and I respect that. Just don't go telling people what to do and we're fine.

Yeah

Sgt. Johnson: Here's what's about to happen; the Master Chief is going hop in this tank, drive across that bridge, and blow up any inhuman son of a bitch dumb enough to get between him and the Prophet of Regret.

It did exactly that to me.... well, made me replay 1-3 that I've already played to death

You're basically slaughtering brainwashed troops as the Elites and the others are manipulated by the Prophets and I agree that by knowing that, it's really tragic rather than satisfying

again, metal gear solid did it first, and they did film-like CINEMAtics before halo 2 (actman even cut away to mgs)

It makes it sadder because lore wise a lot of the Sangheili wanted to invite Humans to join the Covenant and actually didn't want to fight them but had to because the Church leaders said so.

We never saw how the Covenant civilians live, but yes it's pretty interesting to finally see more details about what the Covenant is like (besides the military and atrocities committed in the name of their religion and leaders).

I think it was a blessing and a curse that it was released unfinished. It would be amazing to see what else they wanted to add, but honestly the glitches in multiplayer gave me hours and hours of enjoyment. I feel like if they had more time they might have "fixed" those. Halo 3 was so boring and sterile to me: no superjumps, no getting outside of the maps (at least that I remember). The most obvious thing I can think of when it came to H2 being unfinished is the Ascension map: the thing in the middle moves around but it looks like it's supposed to be attached to something. Obviously they just ran out of time.

Fun fact: The brutes used to be a space faring, militant civilization similar to elites. But then they had a huge nuclear war and it reduced them to savagery and barbarism. Tartarus was just trying to change that. Basically the brute homeworld is like fallout.

Well now you have atriox

@@ambrizfer7898 ikr

Revolver Ocelot Yeah. Doisac (Brute Homeworld for anyone who doesn’t know) is a hell hole.

Tartarus was actually quite a respectable warrior all things considered. I think Arbiter recognized this when he tried to reason with him at the end of Halo 2; he thought that Tartarus might see reason because he was more respectable, even honourable, that the rest of the brutes.

I’d argue that Call of Duty wins the popularity cake out of all of these though. :/

@@Level_Eleven 2011/2012

@@Level_Eleven holy SHIT i totally forgot The Orange Box dropped in 2007 WTF TF2 for life

I get what you're saying. But I think one thing is to have a great game, and an entirely different thing is to be the most popular game. Halo 3 was played by everyone that had a copy. Guitar Hero 3 was played by everyone that had a copy plus millions of other people that weren't even into gaming at the time. Within the world of gaming Halo is about as popular as GH, but GH at the time was popular both within and outside the gaming world. I think that's why it's safe to say overall GH 3 was more popular than Halo 3. I think. Most people I knew at the time that didn't even have a console or gaming PC were playing GH3 at stores, malls or friends' houses.

Weird, since, as shown, Halo 2 was objectively more difficult.

I don't like regenerating health. It makes you play like a coward and you can kinda get away with anything if you play your cards right, because the game doesn't punish you at all for making risky moves since you can just hide behind a box and regen. Health packs just make the game more interesting and keeps the player invested.

I remember overhearing my friends mother and grandma talking about hearing everyone talking about halo 3s release haha.

John Superits The first video game I ever played was Halo 2 back when I was 2 years old. Without my douche of a stepdad, I wouldn't even know what Halo is, so I can at least thank him for that.

Was a high school sophomore when Halo 2 came out. Lots of guys 'out sick' that day.

RaSkipper "Out sick"? I wouldn't even make up an excuse, I'd just deal with the consequences. Going to get Halo 2 when it came out was worth any punishment I'd ever gotten. Then again, my mom and stepdad love video games (specifically Halo games) and the most punishment I could get from a teacher was detention, more homework, staying in for lunch, the usual. Again, 100% worth it.

John Superits I did my older brother gave me his original Xbox and and all the original halo games

Nagger woah there, explain yourself

@@SageSea1 Watch the fucking video, asshole. Halo 2 is either too hard or too easy, no middle ground.

S Choudhry not necessarily true, you are overtly generalizing the entire video. How is watching a video called “why is halo 2’s campaign so awesome” the answer I need to a comment calling the same game a “piece of shit.” It isn’t really unbalanced, it is just that there are subtle introductions to enemies that were glossed over in design that made it appear that way. Ask anyone the hardest parts in the game and they will tell you “when I first fought the snipers or brutes.” Personally, I find the difficulty in heroic to be perfect.

@@SageSea1 I'll put it this way when it comes to difficulty. On heroic, duel wielding an SMG and Plasma Rifle is viable. On Legendary, only the noob combo is viable. Legendary makes so many fun strategies unviable because you'll be killed in 1.5 seconds. Heroic is actually pretty easy tbh. Either duel wield SMG and Plasma rifle or just spam the Covie Combine at Brute Heads. So long as your aim is true, you'll cheese the game.

@Nugget this story sounds like it happened before the ps4 was even an idea

@Nugget maybe around the OG xbox era since that's when Halo 2 came out, but idk, definitely sounds like something before ps4 and xbox one were a thing

It's the superior writing. Unlike all the basic stuff you see about fighting mindless hordes, the aliens are beings with agency. Being manipulated and forced to pick sides. I think establishing this humanity was the key moment that saved this game from a gears of war fate, where you continue fighting mindless monsters that somehow keep coming back.

Batfleck Forever That's how I feel as well, I just beat it yesterday for god knows how many times now. Also I own all the soundtracks of halo 2.

Nathanhs17 I agree. The scenes in which Master Chief is actually doing something instead of standing there and talking are my favorite, which is one problem I have with most of Halo 5's cutscenes.

The same but for halo ce.

CE had Chief just stand there and only says "Yes Sir" every...single... time. He gets his missions from Cortana mostly and just stands like a statue most of the time.

This was the franchise that built up half my childhood. Is that healthy…?

try growing up where everyone plays games like fortnite. I still played these games really young so im fortunate enough to know just how much these games impacted the industry and I would choose these games over the ones we have now any day

Lucky, for me i grew up with halo pc but halo 2 vista never worked so id spend hours on custom edition. Sucks to be a millennial but atleast i missed fortnite.

Apollo DA, heck nah arbiters missions were the best, even uprising which from a difficult stand point is bullshit was awesome, with thunderstorm on you literally just watch the first half of the mission as your ultra elites dominate the brutes, plus the elites period were far more useful than marines.

Blake Killed The Prom Queen Than I am still stupid. I played Halo 2 a week ago and the Arbiter maps still suck. He is just unsympathic and his weaponry is just garbage. And don't let me start with the boring leveldesign especially during the floodmaps later on. But I guess I am just stupid and this is no opinion :D

Mischu Wischu, his maps are the best, his opening level is far more stunning then Cairo and outskirts, he also gets covenant allies, grunts are useless but elites and hunters blow marines away, also why is his weaponry bad? He gets human weapons after the mine and his carbine is just the Covenantbattle rifle, I'll admit his missions are by far the most glitchy even more with mcc.

same. I loved the camo armour.

I was absolutely shocked when he was saying the maps on H2 weren't as good as H1. Maybe he spent most of his time in campaign, but Halo 2 had the best multiplayer maps by far and I don't think any game has come close to having as many great levels as Halo 2. That being said, some of the campaign levels did leave something to be desired. The Heretic level was just so depressing and gloomy and even a little frightening to look at. But honestly being able to get the Banshee into the boss fight against Tartarus or getting the Scarab Gun was enough to make up for most of the issues I had with the campaign levels.

@@encycl07pedia- He WAS mostly talking about the campaign level designs, that's why. 😉

I think an older Miranda is more consistent with her rank and position so I'm ok with it. Cortana seems to look younger on the other hand - which is consistent with her back story as well.

​@@SwindleProbablyHe does make a point of correcting Cortana and Chief when they assume it's just the one ring that will kill everyone.

Christian Young agreed it puts you in your ememies shoes and gives you the chance to experience the war through the perspective of the covenants eyes

It was sick

My personal favorite part of being the Arbiter gameplay-wise is his Active Camo, which gives you more options for how to play levels. You can basically give Quarantine Zone the finger, for example.

Christian Young, it would be even better to fight humans as the Covenant and see their hatred and war crimes against humans similar to CoD WaW in the Russian campaign.

I was 9 years old when Halo 2 came out, wasn't really on the Internet and knew nothing of other people's opinions on the Arbiter surprise. But the start of the first Arbiter level when you realize you're playing as the Covenant and Grunts are your allies, that was probably the best moment in any Halo campaign for me.

CripTik Storm lmfao I got the legend achievement and Helioskrill even by beating halo 2 with skulls

I know the feeling. I have posted my speedrun for the Monopolized achievement on the subreddit about the game don't record times.

CripTik Storm Doesn't each level have an achievement for beating it on legendary? Just look through your achievements and see which levels you didn't get it for. Redo those levels and get the achievement. When I beat Halo 4 on Legendary (along with the others in attempts to get Helioskrill before 5), I was disappointed not to see the achievement. It turned out I didn't get the achievements for Regret from Halo 2 (hate that level) and Midnight from 4. After redoing them, I got the achievement and ultimately got Legend and Helioskrill. Then 343 said screw you and your hard work and put it in the req system for anyone to get with luck.

CripTik Storm 3 months, why did it take you so long?

Kevin S. Medina I took a break in between 2 and 3.

David Cross, Michelle Rodriguez, Laura Prepon and Ron Perlman were also in these games. Laura Prepon is Donna from that 70's show and in Halo 2 she's multiple Marines but specifically she's the one that says "It's close quarters on the other side Chief take this" and hands you a shotgun in Metropolis. David Cross and Michelle Rodriguez also play multiple Marines but they appear as the Marines in the Cutscene at the beginning of Metropolis where Johnson brings you the Scorpion.

That was a Halo 3 thing. I think.

Nice

Best line in the series

Power move: do both

Honestly this will make you happier next time you play the game

Watching this before I clock in to my job at pizza hut lol

holy fuck I didn't even think that Arbiter was talking about his own life, thought he was talking about Shipmaster's life. Wow mind blown

I always assumed he was talking about his life because of his failure and everyone turning their back on him. If you listen to ship master during the cut scene. He looks at arbiter after he says "that makes two of us" he looks at him and you hear a respectful grunt.

Yeah I always thought that was a deep moment. and since I've always had such a strong desire to keep my units alive I instantly bonded with Arbiter there. He was definitely saying that the lives of the elites mattered to him, but his own did not. In order to protect them he would have to fight with the fury of one with nothing to lose.

I always thought the Arbiter was making a sick comeback saying he doesn't care about ship masters life. But now I think about it, it's quite clearly the arbiter talking about himself. Thanks for pointing it out

For those who don't get it, Halo 3 also released that year lol

Exactly why Death Stranding is ass

The only thing that ruined halo 2 for me is the difficulty, if it wasn’t for that it would be in my top 3 halos

They should at least miss once, or the first shot strips your shields or something. I'm planning on going through on LASO. No idea how you're even supposed to fight against that.

wort wort wort

What you are saying is heracy

Damn covie

Is it just me or are all the Arbiter missions cooler?

@@greggeverman5578 Despite preferring playing as the Chief and through most of his levels, I think what makes the Arbiter missions more interesting, at least for me, is that they didn't come with any preconceived notions. Halo 2 was expected to be this battle for Earth, yet focused a lot on the Covenant's misunderstanding of the Halo rings and the Elites' rejection of the discovered lies through the surprise of a secondary playable character in the form of an Elite. As a result, the Chief's missions tend to have disappointing factors, especially in the early levels when Earth turned out to be nothing like either E3 demo. No futuristic city (it looked advanced, but not futuristic), no real display of any battles influencing the war outside of the Chief's perspective, and no proper conclusion where the Chief took Earth back from the Covenant. What purpose did the High Charity levels really serve outside of the idea of visiting the Covenant homeworld? Yes, you were to take the activation key away from Truth if he had it, but if Cortana was inside the system not long after her arrival with the Chief, why not just have you take the same lift Truth took instead of running around doing nothing? I know Cortana says that they've locked it from below, but why can't she influence the platform at all? You save some marines but their survival isn't important to the story so it just makes for a useless side venture. If you take away all of Cortana's dialogue about Truth fleeing the area, you notice that absolutely nothing of importance happens during this level. You spent two levels just trying to reach the Prophet of Truth after coming off of spending two levels reaching the center of the lake, when a Pelican should have just taken you there from orbit instead of just constantly dropping off supplies as you zigzagged your way there, also coming off of two levels that only had direction once the second one began. I could argue the same thing for the Library levels, though, but I feel the humans understanding the devastation a Halo ring can incur made their ground efforts wasted in merely clearing infantry versus the honour of the Covenant wanting to cleanse their sacred ring without harming it via glassing.

i sense an opportunity for a pun that should _really_ have been in the original trilogy.
