alright so this game is one of a kind....its great. theres nothing that has even come close to it. to feel this way you have to have never played halo 1. the minute differences are too much to overcome. i am an avid halo lanist. i have lan parties from which people drive from neighboring cities to come and play. i have sopken with all of them and we all agree that halo 2 is great in its own respects but multiplayer needs 4 changes. general areas being.....body sinning, shotgun-rocket launcher-sniper rifle, health bar, and pistol.
Now i am an alright head shot with all weapons and theres nothing cooler than to see that i just got as head shot. that animation is unique.....no one else has done an animation like that so in turn its very cool.
the shotgun takes approx 3 to 4 chest shots at close range to kill the rocket will follow and it seems that most of the time it doesnt even fly straight and the sniper aiming is not consistent (sp?) like it is in the first. you also have to lead alot longer or shorter i dont know havent gotten the hang of it yet.
the health bar encompasses a few things.....first i want to know when im about to die not just a yell i need visuals second the the "soft landing", it takes skill therefore its fun and cool to do, esp when you just avoided death by someone else.
the pistol.....the weap of choice for 98% of halo 1 players. the other 2% just didnt know how to use it right. sure it wasnt balanced but no one cared. they just loved to play halo. if it pissed them off they just learned how to use it and in turn became and ass kicker.
these ideas take only small amts of programing so please put out downloadable content to fix these probs. ask around avid halo 1 fans will tell you the same......thanks

Check out my maps!

We played Halo 1 for years. So, to me that ment don't change a thing. I thought that the Battle Rifle was going to be just like or similair to the Pistol of Halo one. The guns in Halo are just to weak. In Halo 1 I could walk in to a room and with the shot gun take out 2-3 people easy. Those days are gone. A player is not rewarded for walking across the map to get his weapon of choice. Their all the same. The Needler did'nt get better, now all the guns suck.

I agree with everything that you guys just said. In the original Halo, it took skill to kill someone with the pistol. In Halo 2, my little sister could own people if she wanted to. The physics seem off with everything: aiming, shooting, and especially grenades. It would've been nice not too change the greatest game of all-time (halo) by as much as bungie did.
