I dig this discussion now, Dark! lol (I hope you saw my apology in my last post before this one.... lol misunderstanding)

I think Halo 2 was toned down to fit new players too much. What do you think?

This might be due to the fact that, because of the new online functionality, many of the mechanics had to become more forgiving to accommodate general latency issues amongst the host-client setup in LAN and matchmade games. i.e.-the melee seemed waaayyy different.
Otherwise, the exclusion of fall damage could be seen as a way to noob it down, as well as fully regenerating health/shields.
imho on all of that though, it made for better LAN parties and online play the way it played in Halo2. Of course, all the nostalgia is still in Halo1 though!
to Dark: I think that Halo2 SERIOUSLY lacked in the "vehicles" department, whereas 1 and 3 shine here. Thoughts?
