Subject: Which of the two games has a better campaign? Do you have more fun ...

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!

I read a lot of forums today and was surprised to find that a lot of people like the Halo 1 campaign, more than the Halo 2 campaign. If you ask me, Halo 2 is a lot better. There are more diverse levels, more vehicles, cooler wepons, a better "feel", a complex story line and more levels, in Halo 2. I was quite surprised when I found out that people liked Halo 1 better. Take this poll.

I've been reading this forum too and so far all you've said is halo 2 or 3 is better than the first halo. Yet you have yet to back your statements up with any real substance or opinions.

I'll be glad do discuss it with you but untill you provide some real information about why you think halo 2 is better, then I won't bother trying to list out all the reasons why halo 1 is better.

Plus quality is better than quantity. Its very easy to shove a ton of guns and levels into a game. But to make the levels feel epic and amazing, thats much harder. I'd rather see less levels but have them all be amazing, than a ton of levels and have them all feel mediocre.

1. Don't double-post.

2. Stop spamming the Library.

3. How long have you played Combat Evolved? Thirty minutes?

By the way, this poll has been done ad nauseum. We could have done without it.

If you are going to be rude to people, do it in some Off Topic: the flood, thread. People are always mean there. Double posting isn't too bad. I'm not spamming the library, and I have played Halo Combat Evolved since it first came out, to the day that I got Halo 2. I have played the entire campaign about twenty times probably. Infact, I probably have played it more than that. I still play it too. I just played it reacently. I play Halo 1 a lot, so you should watch what you say before judging people. Also, this poll has not been done in a nauseum way. I am really offended by that.

Halo 2 is better than Halo 1.

When I first looked at this forum today I looked to the right of the page and I saw you posted in literally every single thread on the page with the exception of the stickied topics. Maybe it's not as severe as spam, but you're right on the borderline there.

That was a joke, my bad.

Yes, it has. Use the search function and you'll find a plethora of polls and threads about which game is better, in terms of gameplay, visuals, campaign, multiplayer, etc. or whatever you can think of. This topic is overdone.

That's your opinion, and I try not to argue with those, but I think you're almost trying to impose that on others. You're almost worse than me.

I'll respect your opinion if you respect mine and if you acknowledge the fact that's all they are and nothing more.

Halo 1's campaign, forget it, there was no way Halo 2 could have followed a campaign like that. But with multiplayer, Halo 2 was greatly expanded and was 5x more fun than Halo 1 online.

That's because Halo wasn't made for online play...

Actually, it was made for LAN, and XBC is a program that functions almost like LAN connection.

I'm playing Halo 1 and 2 Campaign all the way through on Heroic right now.

Personally, I found Halo 1 A LOT more satisfying in a lot of ways than Halo 2. Halo 2 is fun, but there's just something about Halo 1 that just made it... awesome. I can't put my finger on it.

I think Halo 1's campaign was a lot better, and one reason might be that it's told through Master Chief's eyes. Also, the Grunts were hilarious, and nothing could beat the Elite trademark anger/death scream. I wish the Grunts were obnoxious again; it was sooo funny when you stuck them with a grenade, whereas in Halo 2, they usually don't realize. Grunts in Halo 2 just seem cute, and you (or at least I do) feel bad for having to kill them. They're so adorable. But they were obnoxiously fun to kill in Halo 1 ^.^

Ki-ens.

Halo 2 got some much-needed updates to how it plays, and physics and such. But I just found Campaign hilariously fun. I'm playing both games through, and what I notice in Halo 2 is that you spend most of your time dual-wielding against an Elite or whatnot, killing him, hiding, repeat. Not all gameplay is like that, but... <.<

There was just something about Halo 1's Campaign. Can't put my finger on it.

I know. I tried to do that on purpose. I am so proud of myself, and I am glad that someone else noticed, but that isn't spamming. You need to learn what spaming is.

That doesn't make any sence. This is just a vauger version. All of the other ones are specific questions. This is a broad one. THis is not nauseum.

How am I imposing it on others by being direct?

Halo 1. I really can't give a valid reason, but I do think it might be partly because I played the Halo CE campaign first

For campaign, halo 1 wins hands down - no contest.

  • 06.04.2007 3:46 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Halo1
-Played 50 times
-Different levels
-No big problems
-Surprises
-Great war feel
-Good music
-Legendary is Legendary
-Chief and Keyes

Halo2
-Played 10 times
-Chaotic levels
-Some Ai... problems
-More surprises
-Great realistic feel
-Better music
-Legendary is Graveminds ass
-Chief, Keyes, Johnson, Arbiter, Truth, Gravemind, Tartarus.....

After all that i have to say Halo2 is better game, i always end up different place i intended going. Halo1 i can always play same way if i want, Halo2 i cant. Also HaloCE story is so unoriginal while Halo2 story really gives something to think about and musics also fit much better. After Halo1 i didnt expect so much but now im expecting. Halo1 was strong, Halo2 was stronger but it shaked really bad.

Halo: CE has the better campaign. it isn't even a competition. Halo 2 had an awful campaign. Halo 2 was just an awful game.

personally i think they both have their own key points that make them better in their own way. halo 2 has its multiplayer that people are completely addicted to, while CE has its story that you just cant get out of your mind if you pay attention to it. in 2 they added some new weapons and new ways to use em but they took out the assault rifle! (that was a big disappointment to me) 2 may have more weapons and new ways to use em but it doesnt necessarily make them better. the campaign for 2 isnt really much of a story, just trying to disable another ring before everything is obliterated.. copy off the first just new people trying to do it, and new people to help you stop it. try playing it on legendary and it gets super repetitive, grenade, shoot, hide, repeat until area cleared. in the first game you could pretty much take out anything that got in your way with any weapon as long as you knew what you were doing and had a little strategy planned out. right now im really addicted to CE for its campaign (since i have like almost no local friends to play LAN with =P) and i cant play h2 much cause its campaign got boring and i tried to spice it up with legendary and i keep getting slaughtered by the armies of elites pouring out of holes in the wall! haha thats a pain in the butt, but once you clear a room and get over the aggravation you feel like its a job well done. and the xbox live playability for it is so bad right now because i can only play big team battles due to the fact that i have to download the new maps to play anything else, and the new maps are $3.99 or so and my credit card holder wont let me get those maps so i can get my full enjoyment of the game. (always telling me to get in there and play xbox live cause she paid for it and i cant even play it decently cause i only have 3 games with xbox live ability and only 2 of em are good >_<)
oh well, i forgot what i was saying so i gotta finish it now lol
hope somebody agrees with me, and please dont hurt me for my opinions :'(

i agree, and the thing that made Halo 1 awesome was that it was unprecedented. In halo 2, it was like you almost knew what to expect. and bungie tried a little too hard to make the people realistic, and they were just ugly.

I liked halo1 more because it has those crisp graphics and sound effects. The grenade explosions look and sound way cool compared to halo2. Plus the weapons were better even if there is no dual weilding.
