Reason 1:
Halo 1: had supreme weapons balance, you could kill someone with any weapon in the game regardless of what weapons they had. Hell you spawn with the best weapon (the pistol) which can actually take out banshees, ghosts and put pressure on snipers.
Halo 2: no real weapons balance, if the other team has power weapons and it's not MLG settings (i.e. spawning with a BR) you're pretty much screwed the rest of the game.
Reason 2:
This has to do with reason 1, since spawning is super predictable and you're spawned with an SMG (human maps) or Plasma (covenant maps), there is little to nothing you can do if the other team has secured snipes, noob combo and rockets.
Reason 3:
In campaign mode I don't know if you noticed but there are several times when enemies literally appear out of nowhere.
Examples:
(1) Outskirts they come out of a blocked off alley way and there is NO ship to place them there.
(2) Gravemind you travel through a door to a grav lift and literally jackals and grunts just "appear."
Reason 4:
Master Chief's throwing of nades, nuff said.

Same reasons for me why I think Halo 2 isnt that great. I dont realy care for the Halo franchise, I'm not a fan of it or anything since I only play Halo PC online after half way thru the campaign mode I got bored, but I still think Halo 1 is way better than Halo 2. Halo 2 was hyped too much (ZOMG THAT BEATS THE TOY STORY HYPE SHIZ...) which made me expect Halo 2 to be great but instead it made me regret buying it from ebay for 25$ which was a waste of money. Hell at least Halo 1 took me a while to reach at least half way thru the game, but I think I beat Halo 2 in 3 or 4 days.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
