There is an online version of Halo 1.

It's called Halo for the PC.

It's worth every penny.

I do agree with you about the multiplayer in Halo 2, though. It is undoubtedly fun to play, but seems like it was generally dumbened down, and skill is much less of a factor. Anybody can just pick up two SMGs, hold down the triggers and kill someone in a second or two. In Halo 1, even full automatic fire with the Assault Rifle from behind didn't lead to death, because a skilled player could turn around and react before dying. In Halo 2, duel wielded guns fire too fast, and attacking an unsuspecting player almost always results in a kill.

The reason you dont like halo2 online is because you suck... and halo1 onlinw was uber -blam!- with a secondary weapon being the best in the game, wtf. God knows i love halo1 but the pistol just made the whole game not worth playing. Which is actually why i stopped playing it a month after trying it online.

Halo 1 online would have been great and it wouldn't take anything for them to create a Halo v1.5 for the XBOX but you have to realize that this is their baby, they spent millions of dollars on this game to make it how they thought it should be, not anyone else. Anyone who says the pistol in Halo 1 was -blam!- is competely out of their minds, it had every aspect of a perfect weapon all rolled into one, close, medium, and long range, with 3 shots to the head for a kill, but its not in Halo 2 so give it up, its not going to magically appear. But everyone stop for a second and think, think about a time long, long ago when you first feasted your video game minds on Halo 1. You remember how much you sucked right? It took some getting use to, just like Halo 2. At first, I admit I had my speculations about Halo 2 and how they created it, to put it frankly I thought it sucked. But I gave it another chance, played some on-line games and realized that I CAN be just as good at this game as I was with Halo 1. So thats all I ask, just give it another chance, get some friends on-line and make it a team effort, its much more fun that way.

Guys ever think that they didnt want a perfect weapon? I swear im holding myself back right now. OK the rocket is sopposed to be strong. The sniper doesnt have auto aim. The pistol messed up the whole game in halo because it was unstopable. No need for any other weapon the pistol could rule it all they did was make it more balanced...plus the pistol isnt that bad now you people act like it fires frozen cheese.

Finally, someone has a good response.

This game is far superior to Halo 1. It's getting me a little use to finding me a new weapon of choice since the pistol is no longer god, but i'll live.

Weapons of choice:
Dual Wield: Pistol/Assault Rifle, Plasma Pistol/Assault Rifle
Single: Sword

So far the weapons are more balanced than Halo 1. Rockets of course are powerful, but it's a lot slower than the other game. As awesome as the sword is, it's no match for the shotgun. Small weapons aren't good for stand alone, which is why you dual wield them. Which is why the pistol is still pretty good. Pistol sucks alone, but it's great with the assault rifle.

Levels are a lot of fun in this game. Some that are great for 16 player, and some great for 4 players. Those who say that there aren't any small leves for 4 people have obviously not played the game.
