Im for Halo 1. it is...important. amazing. angellic. beautiful. Halo 2 was maybe made too quickly or something but the weapons are weaker, shields suck, and there is too much busy work. the whole game just structured as well as combat evolved. I mean that in the best way possible because i adore halo 2 and it is ranked second best game ever in my book but really theres a lot of busy work, namely in legendary that just takes away from the beauty of the series. they tried to do too much. i hope halo 3 is much more like combat evolved.

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

Hmmm...Halo 2 was pretty good game gameplay wise, aswell as Halo 1. I enjoyed Halo 1 alot more though because of its vast level design and I like to use the Assault Rifle. Though in terms of multiplayer, Halo 2 wins hands down in my opinion.

I disagree, I think Halo CE multiplayer was far better than Halo 2 multiplayer. The graphics were not as good but the gameplay was twice as good. There were no missing punches or swords or huge autoaim and this to me made the game more enjoyable and competitive.

I believe that Halo is superior in every way.

Although, that's what you'd expect from asking these sort of things in the Halo forum. :p

Halo 2 seemed more of a story-telling cinematic game than halo 1. I do like the fact that the encounters in halo 1 are much more frequent, but In halo 2 the encounters were just overall funner to play. But, as far as multiplayer I must say Halo 1 takes the cake! Other than the fact that that Halo 2 can go online. now come to think of it, I don't really know which one I like better. But. . .

Halo 1 just seemed a lot simpler and solid. I can't find a reason why though.

Halo: Reach the broken game!!!

I would say Halo, but its lack of online play puts it second to Halo 2. If their was a Halo for the xbox or xbox 360 that you could play online then yes I would say Halo hands down.

I have a thread about this. Check the second or third page of this forum. It finally died, but if you want my argument that's where to find it.

You can download a trail. Search for Halo Microsoft in google, and it should take you to the site. This will also allow you to see whether to not your PC can run it well enough to play it. Otherwise, you will not get a full copy from one of us. Get a damn life, and mow someone's lawn. It's $20, jeez.

Anyways, I always felt Halo was way better than Halo 2.

Someone get this man a cigar.

Same goes for me. Halo CE for Campaign, Storyline, and Multiplayer.

Inside the Mind of Halotitan Help me get expand my mind.

Both campaigns were equally great to me, multiplayer in h1 will be forever memorable but halo 2 multiplayer has out done h1.....i don't care about all the online cheating, or the auto aim, or the missed punches and whatever......h2 is a far better game than the previous.....great story line as the first better graphics, better game play better multiplayer....but i still love h1 just as much and it will always be legendary because its what started the Halo Universe and earned the love of many gamers out there.

"Do you think it's because we're awesome? I think it's because we're awesome."

"Man, you're camping my only spawn point? Who made this "Infection" gametype? I'm like a fricken ant someone threw into a spider farm! Except one of the spiders has a tank!"

i dont get alot of the changes in halo 2. like, why they took the health bar away? im all for a challenge, but it doesnt really fit the story line. "ok chief, this new suit is weaker than your old one, so........your mom." and the pistol is NOT weaker, infact, an extra plus is that you can have two now. so what the zoom is gone? you have binoculars now.

2, better gameplay & graphics, less expandible though, almost even

Don't feed the monkey!!!!

I'm a huge graphics whore and have been playing games for 20 years. The ONLY thing that is graphically better in Halo 2 is the character models. Go back and play it on the 360 (if you have one). Look when you use the flashlight in dark areas or the flashlight in general, look at the detail or reflections in the walls, floors, rocks, water, animations, weapon effects and muzzle flash, look at the covenant stationary shields when you shoot at them with a AR or any other weapon you'll see the difference quickly. Halo CE campaign looks 10 times better than Halo 2's. The only way Halo 2 looks better than Halo CE is in multiplayer and SOME cut scenes. That's it! And this isn't just my opinion, it's the opinion of many people.

You are 100% correct and its something that I have also felt since the release of Halo 2.

To me, Halo looks like the sequel to Halo 2!

Halo : Combat Evolved just looks so much better. Is there any gun in the sequel that looks better than the first? The textures were better in the first game, the levels were better in the first game and the overall feel is just more solid.

I agree... Now that I am a truly veteran gamer... (and I HAVE been called such), I play Halo and Halo 2 on Veteran...

On Halo 1 the AR worked quite well, gave you tons of ammo just like you would have gotten in real life.
In Halo 2 holding just one SMG has recoil that moves your screen up. It is not powerful AT ALL, unless you dual wield, and I have noticed, although you can kill two elite, with two SMG's without reloading, you cannot kill one elite with one SMG without reloading. And I do believe the second was a red elite, meaning alot harder to kill. The grenades are weak, the shield are VERY WEAK. When I get killed by doing hide and shoot from afar tactics, I know the shields are way too weak. The grenades need more power to compensate for the immense weakness of a single gun < dual guns. Also in both multi, and single player, I enjoy Halo one better. Halo 2 might be fun due to Xbox live a bit better than I've witnesses but it couldn't be by much, there are probably just more players, and a better ranking system.

I used to think Halo 2 was more fun. It is... for noobs. And there are not nearly as enough moments only available to Heroic levels, that there should be in Halo 2.

Halo: CE

  • 05.05.2007 1:44 AM PDT

Elites, Spartans, Flood... They're all the same.

They all end up falling to me!

K15

Although Halo 2 was rushed, I think they did a great job with the time they had.

Halo 2 brought in the Arbiter to show the covenant side.

Halo CE also had Med Kits.

so They're almost different games.

Halo CE got awesome cut scenes.

I still remember the introduction to the flood. lol.

scared me a bit. lol.

But... eh. Story is the same, excluding the time for halo 2.

multiplayer... only system link was good for Halo CE

cause friends sneakpeak... and you cant help but do it too.

Halo 2 is still one of the best Multiplayer games.

Because you can bring guests with you (other games failed to catch on that)

Halo CE had Black for multiplayer... Halo 2 had steel.

Halo 2 is the best multiplayer for me...
Halo CE is a better story (I suppose).
Halo CE was also harder on legendary.

Overall... My vote is for Halo 2.
