Who are you directing this flame towards? Some people like Halo 1 better, some people like Halo 2 better. It's called an opinion.

I just read a thread by a group of 18 year old kids who want to develop games. Of course all they did was whine about not having the Pistol and three shot kills. I'm all for going back to what Halo CE was.

They should be some great future game designers.. .. /sarcasm

As for the rest of your post, I agree. Things need to change to keep it interesting. I sure don't want to play Halo CE again.. (We tried that in a custom already, changing radar range, Pistol and AR spawn.. Increased damage some. You know. It was really boring. Of course, people who still think they need the pistol back will not change their minds about it. They're stubborn, as are we on our opinions. ;)

Of course, this probably does belong in the Halo 2 Forum. It's not about Halo 3.

Uh ya, read the end of my post. And it should be in this forum since it's this forum that raises these questions. Though I wouldn't mind seeing the Pistol back, I'm not about to say it isn't Halo without it.

Like in Kill Bill, "If you're gonna compare a Hanzo sword, you compare it to every other sword ever made... that wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo."


Exactly.

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Halo PC was about the amount and types of changes I expected a Halo 2 to have. Unfortunately, that didn't happen... Halo 2 had many changes "for the sake of change".

You answered nothing.

I just read a thread by a group of 18 year old kids who want to develop games. Of course all they did was whine about not having the Pistol and three shot kills. I'm all for going back to what Halo CE was. I liked that game better for many reasons. I had more fun with it. That's why I like it. And that is the point to all this pickering on the forums. It's what you enjoyed the most. I loved Halo 2 as well because I didn't have to go split screen and travel home from college so we could all hook our Xboxs together. The point I'm making is that you people have to accept change. If you were making a game, awesome or suck ass, would you want to create the same old game over and over again for years? Or, would you push some limits, change some stuff here and there and create something you were interested in and also weren't bored to death with? The world changes, people change and yes, even Halo changes. So don't be a bunch of 18 year olds who want to be game designers and can't understand how boring it would be if you just made Mario Brothers for 9 years with only updating the graphics. I can see already that you are not going to make it in that industry because people would get bored and your company would be out of business.

Oh the answer is, what ever you had the most fun playing is the best game. Let's not debate about it. Like in Kill Bill, "If you're gonna compare a Hanzo sword, you compare it to every other sword ever made... that wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo."

Sorry, I went back and edited it a little, because I didn't answer the question, and the point I was making. Hopefully the few sentences above will help out in that regard.


i have never read a more beautiful post ever. very well put maybe this will stop peaple ranting about halo 2 or halo ce.

I think I answered that question. This is a Halo 3 Beta experience, and since you can't compare Halo 3 to the other games without playing the Beta, this is of course in the right forum. So go away little annoying person.

To you I answered nothing because apparently you didn't get my quote. The answer is there really isn't a better game, just one you enjoyed more. I enjoyed both, but Halo CE a little more. But I'm not going around the forum saying which one is better since that would be actually really retarded. So many people debate about which one is better and compare it to Halo 3 Beta. So I say let's stop doing that, and let's just try to make Halo 3 better. The other two are irrelevant to what is Halo 3. It's time to move on, and make Halo 3 the best game it can be without trying to make it like Halo CE or Halo 2 just because you liked one or the other. It's a new game.

I doubt it. But we can only hope that Halo 3 will not be modeled after one or the other, but will be the collective experience Bungie has had making both games to make a new better Halo.

Just because HaloCE doesn't have Xbox Live makes it a worse game because you're too lazy to go be social. I live an hour away from any of my friends, but just about every weekend since HaloCE came out I've been driving over my friends house so we can all play it. Xbox Live ruined the gamers, and for the most part isn't fun. I don't play Halo 2 anymore because of the immaturity of Xbox Live, and Halo 2 has nothing to offer offline.

@ this thread's author: I personally prefer Halo 2 over Halo 1 (xbox versions, ill get to that in a minute). That is mainly because of the online feature. Halo 2, regardless of what you may think, is the most online played game to date, with (i think) over 3 billion games played.

However I do agree with what you say. Being 18 myself, i find it offensive you automatically assume that all 18 year olds are the same. I also want to be a video game designer, but unlike those other dudes you spoke of, I DO have an IQ over 30. I understand the topmost importance in game design; something that comes even before gameplay (as gameplay cannot live without it): balance.


HOWEVER. Halo Custom Edition, for the PC, is by far the better halo game out of all so far. Except Halo 3.

Ya I don't know why this got moved, since this problem of relating the two has been raging on in the Halo 3 Beta Forum when we talk about what needs to be changed. Apparently the Ninjas or whatever didn't see it that way. Which is of course wrong. So now We're in the Halo 2 Forum, which people are on because they like Halo 2. So I guess you really can't get an unbiased opinion. But whatever. I really don't care.
