When I think about the two campaigns, there is one major cop out in Halo 1's campaign that everyone (myself included) has overlooked when complaining that Halo 2 has a shorter campaign. Halo1 has fewer distinct environments than Halo 2. Almost half the levels in Halo 1's campaigns are slight modifications on an already exisiting environment. They didn't provide the opportunity to explore the vastness of the ring at all. In Halo 2 however, each level is distinct and is beautiful as well. So it is safe to say that it took a lot more work to make the campaign for Halo 2 than 1 because of that fact. So I do feel that the Halo2 campaign is shorter than I would have liked, but it was not neccesarily a major cop out like we tend to think at first glance. It is obvious that this campaign took a lot longer to put together and design than Halo1. It is also really nice that the levels aren't repeats of the same room structure multiple times (IE assault on the control room which is still one of my favorites on Halo 1 despite obvious moments of laziness in level design.) So despite some let downs, I for one do feel that Halo2 has a better campaign.

There's more to game development than designing levels and writing a story.

Ask yourself this question...... what levels in halo2's campaign do you enjoy replaying now that you beat the game?

sadly, i have found no levels on halo2 very enjoyable now that i have beaten the game...

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT WE ALL ENJOYED HALO 1's campaign over and over again..... can we say that about halo 2's? Honestly?

Play Delta Halo and the one after that. They are awesome levels. Apart from that, you are right.

Play system link Halo 2 then see how much you care about Campaign...the more people the merrier. I know people will probably flame me for this but Halo 2 resembles Fable, in the way that both are short yet fun to replay. Beat Halo 2 by yourself, then beat it with a buddy. You can play through this entire campaign and it seems like a movie. Play Fable, if you can beat it once and be done you are crazy. Both these games are made to be replayed. Halo 2 is made MAINLY for multiplayer.
I don't know why people would flame for that...

The fact it was made for multiplayer suggests why the campaign wasn't anything special.
Perhaps it's pushing for everyone to get broadband and xbox live.
Dual weilding was good, and the first three levels were the best playability wise, with delta halo levels good for the whole looks thing.
The arbiter levels were a bit poo though.
