Sticks read this basic checklist then get back to me...

Here are my list of reasons why Halo CE owns Halo 2:
1. Halo CE has no homing punches/lunges or hitboxes. This creates a completely consistent and accurate punch that does not leave any space for wondering if it will hit or not.
2. Halo CE does not have huge autoaim/bullet magnetism. This is a major problem in Halo 2 because it makes it to easy to get headshots and even noobs can play fairly well. This high level of aim assist makes sniper too easy and sometimes bullets that don't even hit the head are counted as head shots. I've even shot a rock on Burial Mounds and the sniper bullet went through the rock and hit the enemey behind it. The whole aiming system of Halo 2 needs to be changed back to Halo CE's aiming levels. The level between a noob and a pro is not nearly as drastic as it is in Halo CE.
3. There are really no bad glitches that can really be exploited in Halo CE. There is a doulbe-melee glitch (which I think was amazing and felt like it should be in the game), but there was no BXR or Double-shotting glitches, and especially no superjumps.
4. Grenades were better and more powerful/useful in Halo CE. Halo 2 has dinky grenades that sometimes don't even work right before you die. I've stuck someone as I died and nothing happens to them. Secondly, you can't throw grenades very far at all in Halo 2 and the timing on the frags and plasmas are not good in Halo 2. Frags should have to settle before they blow and plasma should not have the same blast timing as frags.
5. Weapons were more powerful in Halo CE. The Plasma Rifle actually worked well by slowing enemies in Halo CE. The pistol was a three shot kill (3SK) in Halo CE and was more accurate than the BR.
6. The Plasma Pistol is such a noob weapon in Halo 2. The overcharge homes on enemies and is almost inescapable, add a BR to that mix and you are too good. Even a noob can own with the PP/BR combo (noob combo).
7. The health in Halo 2. I do not like how you can bring someone down to 1 hit from anything and then they crouch behind something for 3 seconds and are then suddenly full health again. It's like your previous shots were pointless. I believe they should bring back the original health system with a shield and then health tanks.
8. The competition was fierce in Halo CE because of the accuracy and skill needed to use the pistol. The pistol was much more reliable than the BR. I've had to put an entire clip of BR into someone in order to kill them because of the stupid burst fire. Bring back the single shot PLZ.
9. The levels were better in Halo CE. They were more enjoyable and fun for Slayer and CTF matches. Levels like Hang'Em High, Chill Out, Damnation, and Prisoner were all well designed and a ton of fun.
10. You run too slow in Halo 2. Halo CE got the run speed right and the jumping height right too. Halo 2 you jump higher but not farther, and you run slower. Not as enjoyable and slows down the pace of the game in general.
11. Weapon deficiencies of Halo 2 ruin the game. The SMG and Plasma Rifle separately are horrible. The shotgun is AWFUL and is completely ineffective. The rockets have a delayed shooting sequence so you have to lead more than you should.
12. Homing rockets in Halo 2. This takes out the skill from shooting Warthogs on Blood Gulch because all you have to do in H2 is lock on and the rocket does all the work for you. Where is the skill in that?
13. Dual wielding is dumb. It's inefficient and should not be in the game. I believe Halo CE got it right be not even allowing dual wield. This made for a more skill based game and grenade placement was vital to your survival and killing of other players.
14. The crosshair placement and Field of View in Halo 2 is bad. The crosshair is actually angled down and to the left of your gun barrel in Halo 2. The Field of View is very reduced making it feel like you have tunnel vision. This is much less enjoyable and should be changed back to the way it was in Halo CE.
15. There is no fall damage in Halo 2. Fall damage in Halo CE gave another skill element that is missing in H2. Fall damage made you think about your escape maneuvers and added an element of strategy to Halo CE. You also could crouch at exactly the right time to prevent most of the damage from the fall. This was brilliant and added an extra skill to the game and your falls.
I know this is a long list of complaints, but there they are real problems with Halo 2 that I evaluated and replied to. Thanks for reading!
I agree plus...
16. In halo you can not be standbyed against makeing games stressfull and pointless.
17. Levels Geometry was more balanced out then halo 2 where in zanzibar it is easy to get sniper controll in seconds, to easy.
18.People smiled and laughed and got to play happily since there was no rank at times, and then rank comes in halo 2 where noobs curse at you and say stupid things, or people leave your game. Now with rank more people cheat in hopes of makeing their rank and I quote 'better then yours' where as their skill level sucks, but they act like their better then you.
19.No host god controll that you get with every weapon in halo 2.
20. Delayed effects, with the effect of online play you will encounter Lag, people who force lag, tweekedge and misplacement of shots in example, your standing behind a piller, someone starts shooting you in the back, your shields are fine but then you relise your getting shot a little to late because now all of a sudden your shield is gone.
21.The active uses of teleporters in nearly every level was really fun because you could zip around maps, where in halo 2....have fun walking.
22. Halo 1 maps are better, enough said, next dot
23.The best snow level ever, sidewinder. Containment is crap because in MM its just tank controll.
24. You can easily kill a tank driver, where as in halo 2, they are impervious.
25. Halo 1 has huge levels where it gave the player alot of roaming space while in halo 2, there was none, just forced ways to go.
26. The flood in halo 1 was actually deadly and fierce in the library. In halo 2......*yawn*
27.I personally like the U shaped drop ships more then the phantom because you can shoot the enemies as it opens up and only had one turret.
28.Banshee flyers actually learned how to fly while in halo 2 by holding back you can just hover forever
29. Race was fun in halo 1, territories is stupid in halo 2.
30. ALL OF HALO 1's ARSENAL WAS GOOD. All of them where great at a certain job and balanced out what was known as weapon controll. while in halo 2....I find myself only useing a few weapons.
31. And what I think is the best part of all in HALO 1 that makes it better then halo 2...Driveing in and open grass plain, with 2 marines in my wharthog being able to choose what path to take first on the level HALO and then chooseing who will survive or fight hard to keep all the marines alive, and then getting out of my hog and walking in the grass at a good speed and then jumping into a PELICAN and flying with it or being dropped off by it. WHERE IS THE PELICANS ON HALO 2?! WHY CANT MASTER CHIEF GET A RIDE?!! While in halo 2.... Drive.....crash...drive...crash...... hey look a beach ...drive on beach......hey look a tunnel..... heeey why am I going the same way? where is the exploration?
