I just want to say that i am very disapointed with Halo 2 I mean the graphics are incredible and the single player is fun but multiplayer was horrible. Why did you take the most elite game and turn it into a assault rifle war. I mean you could of just made it a setting instead of totally removing what made the game elite you know like the ( PISTOL ) I have been a huge supporter of halo 1 and cant understand what they must of been thinking. They basically took halo one and took the pistol out and suped up the graphics and made it so you start with weapons that take no skill to use. I see where your guys heads were right in your wallets you didnt care about the elite u just want the noob crowd to love it. I can see what you were thinking right now "bet if we make it so anyone can win we can sell more copys well for once In my life i am speaking out to you guys. You took a ingenuis Idea and ruined it, wronged me and it hurt my feelings. Please every one that feels this way post forums maybe they can let us download a pistol that is worth using. I am sorry for the negitive feed back but come on bungie please make this game worth wild
Thank you for listining

sincerely Halo 1 fan LinkCCR
P.S. I am nationaly ranked at halo 1 and ashamed to post a negative feedback but some has to do it Unite elite

I think it depends on which part of the game you play. Clearly Halo 2 campaign is much better than the original. They don't hold your hand with nav points. The levels are much bigger now, you aren't walking through hallways all the time. When you go to the multiplayer part it is a different story. While I loved the original Halo multiplayer, I don't think it has been long enough to make a decision on which is better. Halo 2 multiplayer is a much faster pace, but I think as the days go by people will start to figure out how to make those "three shot kills" with the pistol that we all loved, in a different fashion thats works for Halo 2. Time will tell.

1. Your spelling is horrible.
2. You dont use puncuation, effectively rendering your rant incomprehensible.
3. This is just another post about some devoted halo 1 fan who is weeping because people who played it for the first time are killing him.

Boohoo

I have no sympathy for you.
Seriously, if you dont like it, dont play it.
If you think it is an incomplete and flawed game then go back to the original multiplayer game you know and love.

I would respond to your idiotic questions but ive wasted enough time actually replying.

That is pretty much the only opinion we hear here on these forums.

Halo 2 rules

-the pistol rocks when you dual wield
-multi-player is awesome, I don't care what you say, including online
-if bungie had finished the story it wouldn't be out for another few years

what is wrong with you people?!

Anywho....

I thought Halo 2 multiplayer was way better. The only truly unbeatable weapon was the plasma sword, which was indeed beatable with sniping. Live was incredible, they have the classic game variants as well as some cool new ones, and Zanzibar is the best FPS level in existence.

First just let me say that Halo 2 ia a good game.

That said....NO game (and yes that includes Halo 2) will EVER be better than Halo CE.

I just didn't have as much fun with H2 as i had with the first one. I find my-self getting annoyed with H2 and I don't have the constant need to play it like I had with Halo CE.

^^Oh yeah this is a PERSONAL opinion^^

My opinion, Halo 2 is better. I could only play Halo 1 on XBC and had no stats to show how good I was, and I was good. I've got Halo 2 on Live now and I'm planning to hop back on XBC with it sooner or later. My goodness, these threads are being repeated like Flood attacks LOL. Halo 2 is more challenging in my opinion. Legendary is hard as hell, even with Co-Op, still trying to get past the first level. My good friend will be here on Thanksgiving and me and him own, so we'll give it a shot. Communication is a challenge too, sometimes I want to be silent when I shouldn't and vice versa. But who cares what I think.

Halo 2 has better graphics, more weapons, and more multi options. I do miss the zoom-in pistol and the shotgun seems slower, but who cares?

halo 1 is the best game ever i agree with that. but halo 2 is a great game to i do have to say that i didnt have as much fun in story mode as i did in halo 1 but oh well i still really enjoyed halo 2 story line the levels where bigger which was a lot better the pistol kinda sucked but it was still a good weapon the shotgun was great for the flood as it always has and playing as an elite was cool i didnt like the battle rifle as much but the smgs made up for it and i dont think that halo 2 has been out long enough for really any one to say which game is better.

i agree 100% and i think that blacklisting you for stating your opinion is really silly, i wonder what the other pro players think now that halo 2 should be called ASSALUT RIFLE WAR!!!
I find it ironic that people want to call Halo 2 MP an assault rifle war, when there is no assault rifle.

I think Halo 2 is better the pistol is better alone on the first one but in halo 2 duel wielding if ya get use to em they rock! i really could care less what anyone says to me so dont waste ur time calling me an idiot for what i say.I do think the shotgun is a little worse but they have cooler vehicles and lots more mp options. and thats all i got to say about that.

OK you guys freak me out. Thats 1. 2 you with the newb thingy, totally wrong. I am no newb. And I hate halo 2. I have not played on xbox live. But that does not matter. 3 xbc man you are totally right but only in playing halo 1 on that. 4 open your damn eyes people, halo 1 was to get peoples attention. It did. Then halo 2 was the money bringer with more pre-orders then any game before and it really sucked. Now if there is a halo 3 (check quote) it better be the absolute best game ever. Or check my quote again but then add in "if halo 3 sucks like halo 2" then read the rest.

I agree Halo 1 is better than Halo 2. Halo 2 is way to easy, I beat it in 4 hours on Heroic. I love the graphics and all but, to disaponting.

in some ways your right halo 2 punk...but lets think of all the new features of halo 2 and how it makes the gameplay more fun.
-dual weilding
-gravity boost on most covy vehicles
-new characters and enemies
-new human and covy weps along with some old, in my opinion, better
-increased AI of marines (somewhat)
-much more improved plot (both sides of story)
-variety of different worlds
-use of weapons that you weren't able to access before
-new vehicles, with some old
-jumping on ghosts and knocking enemies off

Now, for multiplayer it is sort of easy because its more shootem up then skill in some cases, otherwise its great on and offline

Halo 1 was good but Halo 2 was better. the graphics were better AI was better (they drove the Worthags this time). But the story was good until the end. i was so pissed when the story ended like that I almost cried (almost). Bungie better come out with a Halo 3 for Xbox not whatever new system is on its way or eals they well lose a lot of loyal Halo fans. And I would be one of them.

For those of you that are tired of posts like these, don't read them. If you don't agree, fine, make a post that you don't agree. But, if you want to talk about warm fuzzy bunnies, go find the warm fuzzy bunnies forum.

Yes, I liked Halo 1 better. Just like I liked the first Matrix movie more than the last 2. Just like how I liked the old Star Wars movies more than I liked the new ones. Just like how I liked Master of Orion 1 and 2 MUCH more than the third version. And, for those of you who know Master of Orion, yes, a game can take a leap backwards.
