Hi Im new to these forums and I know this isn't the right forum for this but, i really needed to know something and im clueless :(. I was just wondering If you played a modded map or somethign but in a custom game that gave everyone the mods and was just for fun could you still get banned for 1. being the modder or 2. playing with the modder?


I honestly don't know the answer. But I can tell you that you are not supposed to discuss mods, cheats, or anything of that nature in any of these forums. So I would send someone a PM and see if they know. You might could try asking a Forum Ninja, but it might anger him and cause him to execute you. Just warning you.

woot, an unbiased post to H2 and H1 for once. What now pistol-whores?


Funny how many people equate 'unbiased' with 'agrees with me'.

But yeah, this thread is fairly unbiased, compared to mos. But you aren't - anyone who uses the phrase 'pistol whores' obviously has a chip on their shoulder.

Haha...yeah. I tried. I'm slightly partial to Halo 2, I must confess. I can really only say so much about the multiplayer for Halo 1 because I've only been to a few LANs and played some split-screen every now and then. Usually it's Halo 2 all the way.

MP Halo 1 is where the game really shines.

Thats your oppinion, and the millions of people who played Halo 1 would probably disagree :)

Anyway, all i can say is you missed out big time if you didnt play much of the multiplayer.

I honestly believe you.

For me, H1 campaign and multiplayer are about equal. Had a lot of fun playing the MP but it was a pain to get LANs going so didn't play it nearly as much as I play Halo 2's now.

it's funny you say that about the melee, myself and the people i mostly play with really did not like the new melee system. in halo CE it was a more exaggerated, he had more reach and it just seemed to hurt more. granted there was a lot to be learning with the timing of it. but a few games with only pistols and no shooting will teach you a lot about that.


In Halo 1 you didn't lunge. How is that more range? It did hurt more. What is it? 3 melees to kill in Halo 1, or 4? I don't remember. It's 3 in Halo 2 because of the download. Before that it was like, five or six. Melee attacks were useless. I felt like I had no control in H1. Course, I really had less control in H2, but I felt could rely on my melee more. And if it missed, I could just press XR and start shooting again. I think BXR should not be in H3, but hey, use it while it's here.

halo2's melee was a quick snap of whatever weapon, that just seemed weaker and usefull. not to mention losing that distance (whether percieved or actual) throws off the melee games, at least to those who were used to the first one.


"at least to those who were used to the first one". I have to disagree. Halo 2 just made it to where when you got in someone's face you didn't have to make sure your melee was aimed right. You just pressed B and you slugged the guy. Nice and simple. I know Halo 1 vets.
who like everything about Halo 2 more. They may not be as good at it, but I really think the majority of halo players will tell you the Halo 2 melee is easier to use, whether or not they like it more is another matter, however.

not to mention in halo you could actually use your melee to ward off the enemy. it would knock an elite of balance if you did it quick enough, in halo2 you just need to get the hell out of the way or you'll be clubbed. at least that's the way i felt about it.


Yes, and as soon as you got "the hell out of the way" you could assassinate him. Unless your look sensitivity is on 2. I wouldn't dare try to, "teach you", as I have great respect for people who are Halo veterans and have mad skills. I'm really not that good at Halo 1. I beat it on legendary twice, but I had to play like an assassin. But if you don't know this already, here's something you should try: "An important thing to remeber about Halo 2 is this: The Elites always need to be too far away for their plasma rifles to be very effective or so close that they try to hit you or you can hit them. Once they swing at you, all you have to do is sidestep, or spin, depending on how high your sensitivity is, and then their back is facing you. Press B, and the Elite is dead before he can even think about turning around. Shootouts with elites in effective range of their weapons is suicide unless you have a BR." Practice this until it is instinct and Halo 2 will become much easier than Halo 1, where you couldn't dodge the melees, but they didn't kill you.

P.S.:"Shootouts with elites in effective range of their weapons is suicide unless you have a BR." Don't quote me on this one. I just meant that the BR is your best choice, with or without a plasma pistol. It's completely possible to pwn Elites with any weapon from any distance. But not with consistency. Even the most skilled players are going to get caught off occasionally. Not everyone is Chuck Norris. But then, if everyone was Chuck Norris, we would've already destroyed the Covenant entirely, wouldn't we? :)


i see your point, but it definately is one of those things that just come down to preference. in all honesty i don't have a hard time in halo2, i just prefer the melee from halo1 better. i disagree about the amont of attacks for the kill, but again that could just be chalked up to personal experience, and hit placement.

Your opinion is your own, and you are entitled to it. That said, what exactly do you disagree about concerning melees? Halo 2 is 3 melees to kill unless you hit the guy in the face, in which case it's 2. And that's all with full shields, btw. I really don't know about Halo 1. It could be more or less.

you commented on the amount of hits for a kill for both halo and halo2.

i was simply disagreeing with the amount you posted and the accuracy thing, but again different people experience things differently. i've pulled it off in 2 fairly consistently, unless you hit the dude on the top of the head, then it's a one hit kill. there have been times personally in halo2 on xbl where i've hit someone 4 times before they dropped, i just don't like the feel of the halo2 melee.

If I had to say, Halo CE on legendary is much harder than Halo 2s' legendary diffucuty.

in h1 its 3 for a kill. Usually when one uses a melee they will already be damaged or the explosion from the double melee grenade will kill the target, so more often than not 2 melees are used to kill someone. Very rarely is there even an opportunity to lay three melees on someone as by that time you would be killed by any weapon really. Double melee usually suffices as long as there is already one shot in the target or if the grenade kills him afterward.
