Subject: Is Halo 1 better than Halo 2?

In some ways that are important to me, I think halo 1 is the better game all things considered. But Halo 2 has it's own charms.

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

I wouldn't say Halo CE's campaign was necessarily better. There were parts that were so repetitive and everyone should know what I mean. That made the campaign longer but not better. Yes the campaign was shorter for H2 and I think for the most part it was b/c Bungie realized they had too much on their plate with too little time left and had to make the cuts. Just watch the collector's disk. People say it took more skills in Halo CE but I don't see how a sniper disguised in the shape of a pistol requires "skill". People loved the pistol b/c it was freakin' easy and freakin' effective. Not to mention grenades across the map. No skill necessary, no closeness necessary. H2 brought combat up close and personal where you had to strategize more with the big three: Weapon-Grenades-Melee.

Bollocks. It takes more skill to hit people who are standing closer?

It is all based on your personal experiences with the game which in the end formulates your opinion. There is no "better" game.

Like guns?? so do we, join Halo Armory and you can too

personally i found HALO CE a much more enjoyable game in every aspect. the only reason it loses to halo 2 in multi player is due to it being online. but thats just me

Name something in Halo CE that required more skill. Something, Anything. I simply stated why there was no skill advantage in Halo CE and changes made in H2 improved things. Everyone talking about how Halo CE was better almost always start off with talking abou the pistol. The pistol made no sense since it was more valuable than a sniper. Grenades that could fly forever made no sense. The closer the battle the more decisions need to be made, the quicker they need to be made. In a long distance pistol shoot out there are no decisions, just strafing and praying. Having dual wieldable weapons added to the decisions that people have to make. Above all of these things, online took people's skills to the max because the level of competition moved beyond being better than your 3 or four best friends. Ultimately your skill level is dependent upon the level of your competition which on live is competing against people all over the globe. It definitely would be interesting and fun if Halo CE were able to be on Xbox live.

Well Halo 1 campaign is better, but I like Halo 2 multiplayer better. But I would also say Halo 1 takes more skill, because their arn't any button glitches or superbounces.

well they are both amazing games i personally like halo 2's online more but not much (im compairing to the pc version) but the story in halo 1 was easyer to follow and funner to play though so accually i might consider a

Something - sniping. Anything - hitting a vehicle with a rocket.

Vague, subjective and preconception-based complaints about the pistol and grenades 'not making sense' do not make the game less balanced or less skillful.

Can you honestly say the pistol is not a mini-sniper? Nothing subjective about it. It just was. Still don't know where the more skill in Halo CE is. How was sniping harder in Halo CE? The big difference maker was the shield/health bar. Definitely changed the style of the game so you couldn't be non-stop aggressive due to complete recharge.

Halo 2 legendary is much harder than halo 1's.

Halo 1 takes more skills and I think the campign of it is harder. In Halo 1, even on easy, a group of marines take a long time to kill an Elite. In Halo 2, it takes only one marine or ODST to finish an Elite.
