Here is what I say and this is my opinion. Halo 2 sucks for XBox Live because it has gone to the Modders and cheaters. So yeah. Personally I would keep MA and MA2. But thats me
I used to thouroughly enjoy halo 2, right up to the point the assholes invaded the game. Every game after the invasion consisted of people making fun of my accent and then proceding to give me a lengthy lecture on how British people suck.
So i left halo 2 and went to Mech Assault 2, which was filled with caring, fun loving bunch of gamers that only had respect for each other.
Then the assholes invaded and the cycle continued.
I just got my xbox 360 this week with Perfect Dark Zero and Condemed. I can only hope i meet a matured and sensible group on 360 Live...
As to your question Wedge, Red vs Blue is the best halo 2 machinama out there... so why not keep onto ur MA games
Machinma has nothing to do with MatchMaking, by the way. There ARE a few ways to avoid cheating. But, I still need to rake up so mulah. Besided ComStar, MA2 was never really fun, but 1 was a classic. It was my first XBL game.
