I am a long-time veteran of Halo 2, but ive never played Halo 1. I always hear from people how Halo 1 is way better than Halo 2, in many aspects. People always complain about Halo 2's massive auto aim and hitboxes, and Halo 1 is the 1337 ski1l Halo game. My question is, is it too late to try Halo 1and just play the campaign (I cant play XBC) or just wait till Halo 3?

Hell, I never played the game until summer 2005.

After playing Halo 2, Halo Combat Evolved didn't feel the same, but it's still awesome and worth playing, definitely - it's like 20 bucks and it's backwards compatible with the 360.

How many times have I told you guys I don't want no horsin' around on the airplane!

You must! Playing it will help you enjoy the story more. Playing the campaign of Halo CE is an awesome experience.

you, sir, have just crossed the line.

Halo 2 was designed for telling the Covenant story and Multiplayer and Online and.....well that's it. Halo CE, however, was created to lure everyone in, make them keep playing over and over. Everything is great, the physics, the enemies, the music, the weapons, especially the Campaign, which was, sad to say, brutal in Halo 2. As disappointed as I am to say this, 1>2

Halo:ce is better cause it was more challenging then halo2 and had a better story line.

I remember playing Halo: CE for the first time, it was December of 2001 and I was at my friend's house, I played AOTCR, that was my first level, and that is when I got hooked

Go out and get it please. Even a small 2v2 split screen is much better than any xbox live match on halo 2.

At least get it for the story and campaign, that alone is worth its money, the multiplayer is just a huge HUGE bonus to the money you're already investing into the game.

Dude, Halo 1 has many mentionable asspects. Such as the pistol in Halo1 is much more powerul that the pistol in Halo 2. The shotgun in Halo 1 is a bit better because it can shoot farther. There are many debatable aspects of the two games.

I agree. If you want to get the best out odf halo 3s story, you MUST play halo 1s campain. I could spend hours playeing halo 2s sp and mp but halo 1 is a delecacy. I play it a litlle bit at a time because if I play it too much, I literally can't stop. I would have recomended playing halo 1 BEFORE halo 2 though because then you'll fully apreciate what halo 2 did wrong and what halo 3 will do wrong.
Halo 1 is grate because of its simplicity. It doesn't need many weapons, vehicles, characters, ect because everything it does have is so perfect. Halo is like star warse. It just gets better everytime you see it and even after all these yearse and sequels, the original still dominates. Just promis me this. Stop the hog on a hill on halo and take a few seconds to gaiz up at the sky and halo, think about were you came from, and think about were you're going.

halo is the greatest game out there, you'd suck munkey nuts if you don't play it

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

check Best Buy
