As i poped in my halo 2 disk for the first time i sat down with the upmost excitement. I could not wait to play this game online and have great times during multiplayer as I did in halo. At first I loved the game, great graphics, more wepons, new vehicles and best of all online play. After playing this game for about a month I have figured out that this game is a lot about luck. If someone sneaks up behind you with dual weapons and you have an smgin your hand you are toast. In halo one has a better chance of turning around chucking a nade and firing a few well placed pistol shots to take down ur noobish enemy. This made me think about what bungie had done to this game. Is halo 2 not a good title. NO not at all, halo 2 is very good but it is not better than halo. I have just resently started playing halo again and I couldnt figure out why I would ever want anything more than this. Then I figured out, one cant make perfection better. The way halo one was put together as a first person shoot will never, in my mind, be beaten and this is why they need to come out with a halo1.5 with xbox live capabilities.

I know exactly what you're talking about. With Bungie's bringing of many more features to the game, it made it so skill was not necessary anymore, its rediculous. I remember gettin dat game in midnight coming home wit a wide smile on my face as i popped it into the tray. That smile lasted for awhile, but along with the hype, it didnt last for too much longer. It lacked the substance of quality in halo 1 multiplayer. My opinion, Bungie thought and worked on halo 2 multiplayer too much...and forgot they already had something perfect to base their multipler off (halo 1)

Bah, I’m tired of people complaining that because their "skillz" didn't perfectly transfer over to Halo 2. The new multiplayer is much more balanced, no more damn pistol -blam!-es. Yes it's easier to be over powered by someone with better weapons than you, but doesn't that make sense? Instead of one dude with a pistol overpowering three men with fully automatic rifles.

Go on XBC if you want Halo 1 multiplayer online.

XBC is terrible if it were better i wouldnt be playing halo2 on live and i wouldnt be wanted a halo 1.5. All im saying is that there is halo and halo 2. In my opinion halo is the better game in the multiplayer aspect. If you are doubtfull go play halo multiplayer it may change your opinion. In regards to your comment "no more damn pistol -blam!-es" you obviously were not that good in the original halo because for me and many of my friends that play halo (at least the good ones) the pistol was their favorite weapon.

^in a positive way!

Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

no

If everyone was good with it and nobody liked it how come everyone wants it back. O YEA, they loved it and I dont care how easy you thought it was to use. If u were face to face with somebody and you both had pistols the better shot would win. If everone was so good with it and it was SO easy to use then how come some people sucked with it and some people pwned. You are right in saying it is easy to use but using it right is a skill. 3 shots from distance will always feel good no matter who you are

What about duals? If I got dual magnums i can kill someone even faster with them then I could with the pistol in halo. They fire so fast and this is the reson they dumbed it down. if the pistol were in h2 and it had dual capabilities it would make for bad game play and suck. Thats why its in halo and only halo.
You know what forget about the pistol. Thats not the only thig that makes halo great. I love when You time a rocket just right and take out a hog with a flagger and when you go into someones base with four of them in there and you take them out solo with the killtacular. I just like the way halo feels. When i play h2 i dont get that feeling.

Halo 2 is a good game no doubt about it, but I think halo is definetly more enjoyable. Halo 2 is too much based on luck. So the lockin on feature wit the rocket is cool, but it was funner timing, aiming, and blowing up a warthog in the first halo. Sometimes playing games that require more skill are more enjoyable because then you know you won cause you were better, not cuz u had the better dualing combination at the right times...i miss halo
