: It doesn't. It gets much, much worse, pretty much immediately after Halo CE.
: It starts to get better again with ODST and Reach, but man is Halo 2
: terrible. Bungie even put out an anniversary vidoc, and the segment on

: and "A disastrous, flaming turd of failure..." It's this video,

: I'm sorry for going off on a tangent there, but I bought an Xbox specifically

I actually rather liked Halo 2 myself. Fleshed out the 'verse more than CE, had a bit more of a story in general than CE, and the combat just felt a bit smoother to me than in CE. It does have its flaws (I'm probably never going to try to beat it on legendary, there's that goddamn watermark glitch, and the story is rather... truncated) but I feel like it was still a really good experience regardless.
