Wow, there was more bias in this post then any Halo 1 lover could ever come up with. You basically said "Halo 2 IS noobified but I dont think its that big of a deal" Let me guess why you cant test any of this stuff....is it because you dont even have Halo 1? yeah, i figured as much.
I guess I'll destroy your post. Your first point...He used the BR because thats halo 2 equalvalent not that useless magnum. So you basically admitted that the only weapon in halo 2 that works mid to long range is the sniper.
Two, You basically said "they added magnetism to the plasma weapons but it think thats okay" BOTH were useable in halo 1, and no the freezing wasnt a glitch...the PP was useable but only up close, not taking sheilds off halfway across the map. Also the books dont effect the games, the games effect the books, bungie has even said that, so that reasoning is flawed.
Three, You think because the reticule is red in Halo 2 that THAT is the reason the rocket flips out? The point is the rocket goes where you aim in Halo 1 regardless if its easy to kill people anyway or 'you shouldnt be aiming at them anyway'- more flawed logic.
Fourth, Your whole point on melees made me laugh. Yeah the hit box for melees is slightly larger but you still have to aim RIGHT at them. In Halo 2 they barely have to be on the screen to get that melee to work and incase you didnt notice he didnt side step, it lunged him to the side. Also those lunges totally throw you off balance alot of the time which you also didnt mention. It takes much more melee's? Really? how many more? Oh Yeah NONE or maybe one more melee, huge difference there......And the sword? Enough said.
Fifth, You saw a video? Let me guess, was it a montage? If your basing you 'facts' off a montage your seriously stupid. I could get a hundred sweep shot even if there was absolutely no auto aim, It would just take me a long time but i could put them all together and make it look like I get them all the time. Show me a GAMEPLAY where someone constitantly pulls them off and then I'll believe you. Yes you can occasionally get sweep shots in halo by almost pure luck but your acting like its almost exactly like halo 2, which is not even close to true.
TSK vs PP/BR- Maybe he was horribly inaccurate because there wasnt a ton of auto aim? and You say you have to pick up the PP? Yeah you also have to pick up the BR too, while i spawn with a single smg. Atleast in halo 1 we both had a pistol....You see the balance there? Both of us having the same weapons...balance....same weapons....balance....
You also act like because both your weapon slots are full that puts you at a dissadvantage. Why would you want to pick anything else up if you can two shot someone from mid range, short range, and probably even long range? His whole point was Halo 1 didnt have a stupid instant kill combo, like halo 2 has, but you totally missed that point. Slightly longer sound range and more glowing? yeah that totally balances out the extreme auto aim.
"How good you are in Halo does not mean how good you are at shooting someone." Haha wow, You should have started your post with that so I wouldnt have wasted my life reading this retardly biased post.
Dont get me wrong I love Halo 2 but your acting like they take the same amount of skill and you're OBVIOUSLY wrong.
