Umm halo:ce is better cause well for 2 things better storyline and it was more challenging, think about it halo1 was more standalone type of game and halo2 was more group and co op.

Zamamee actually you're wrong. Halo 1 was rushed more than Halo 2 :).

I believe that Halo is superior in every way.
Even in terms of visuals?

I'm going to have to disagree with some of you and say that I played Halo 2 before I played Combat Evolved. Halo 2 made Halo look sixteen-bit, in my opinion. Yes, Halo's graphics were good, but Halo 2's were better. Even a Combat Evolved-freak like me will admit that.

Aside from graphics, I think Halo is better.

Im also for Halo ce. Dont get me wrong, halo 2 was an amzing game in its own right but it could never of beaten the original. I never had a ps2, i had a n64. The nearest thing i had to halo was goldeneye( a fantastic game) Then i got the xbox on launch date with a copy of halo. I played through the first level and i thought "wow!". But nothing could prepare me when i got out of that pod and onto the plains of Halo, i was gobsmacked! In Halo 2 there was only one time when it had the wow! factor was when you became the Arbiter which was more confusion than anything. The story was so much better in Halo, The marines were few and were always getting slaughtered adding to the horror of the convenant. The largest level were grander than the ones in halo 2 like the beach landing and the snow fields of the control room. Not forgetting that eerie guilty spark level in which youre crawling through the swamp and if you keep your eyes peeled you can see the flood in the background. And the drama was top notch, with twists and turns in the plot and a score which is one of the best ive heard. The most dramatic scene in Halo was at the end when you had to try and escape the poa in a warthog and there was explosion and fighting everywhere, that had to be the best ending in a game i have ever seen. I think the biggest problem of Halo 2 was not the actual game itself. It was our anticipation for it. Halo was a masterpiece and we were waiting for halo 2 for years, looking for information, watching trailers, trying to get bungie to reveal something else. The anticipation ruled our lives and when it came out, it was great but it was not a shock, when halo came out nobody really knew anything about it accept for the Marathon fans, hell i bought it because the people at the store said it was good, i never thought i would be waiting for halo 3 and going on forums.

halo 1> 2 easily for me.

  • 06.29.2007 2:26 AM PDT

I like both, but it would be nice if halo 1 could be played online on an xbox. The game itself is more fun and there are not as many ''glitches'' as in halo 2. But I like the vehicles in halo2 better.

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Halo CE MP was simple (that is a complement believe it or not). Not a lot of extra un-needed crap like duel wielding, redundant weapons, etc, etc.

I too hope H3 is a LOT like CE. Until they change the FOV back to 90 degrees (among other things) it won't be though.

EDIT: My horrible spelling...

i would say halo 1 is better multiplayerwise but halo 2 has a better story and you can dual wield and be covenant. in halo 1 sniper range is better aswell.

Yeppers. Each weapon in HaloCE was unique and could be used effectively, with the exception of the needler and plasma pistol. If they were overpowered, like so many people claim, then that obviously was what made the game so much fun. You nailed the hammer on the head. Dual-wielding took away from having solid individual weapons, and contributed to weapon redundancy. Not only that, I went back through HaloCE's campaign recently and it was still amazing. It shatters Halo2's campaign out of the water. The story in HaloCE is blended in with the gameplay and the end of each level transitions you smoothly to the next. And yes, the graphics in HaloCE's campaign were every bit as impressive as Halo2. Poor level design, crappy/nerfed weapons, boss fights, and the most uninspiring campaign mode, ever, really make Halo2 sink in the mud in comparison to HaloCE.
The pistol in HaloCE is a weapon to be proud of, a weapon worth using, and people who can't handle it are wieners.

I agree 100% Halo:CE REWARDS you more for your work especially in legendary as you skip the beginning crap on the Pillar of Autumn + The Cut Scene with the Black sarge and the Elite :)

EDIT: You learn how to become a better online gamer as well with the higher difficulties :)

the plasma pistols still useful ;) it has a rate of fire FASTER than plasma rifle and u can freeze ppl like it was a plasma rifle which is pretty pimp. nothing like a charged shot to pwn ppl too that stuff takes real skill.
