Halo 2 and even 3 were never as good has Halo 1. Sure they have more features and weapons and everything, but Halo 2 and 3 just never had the same feel to it that Halo 1 did.

I have not played 3 yet, and not owning a 360, do not see playing it anytime soon! I have an xbox, rather than playing ce on the pc. Between 1 and 2, 1 def............alot more variations to play during solo campaign. There are several spots in 2 that are just either boring or not very much fun. Several long rides on big trams that are just sit there and wait. The feel of the flood in 2 is odd, almost comic book like compared to 1. The overall feel of 2 is "smaller" than 1. Things in the original are more up front, and in your face. Given, the dialogue in 2 is more amusing, and more extensive. It is fun to push around the marines and hear the five to seven different things they might say, but when you are doing that, you are not killing anything! Where is the fun in that! There are parts of Halo 2 that are a blast, the landing and initial battle on Delta Halo, the first half of outskirts (once you know where the jackal snipers are spawning even legendary is not that hard), the opening battle of High Charity. But overall, too much of H2 is at a medium to long distance, or too much vehicle oriented. And for the most part, the Arbiter levels were just a bit boring. Maybe I am biased to being the MC, but well, is that not what the game is about?? HUMANS KILLING ALIENS!

Why compare them? They were all awesome as long as there names were Halo. But in gameplay, HAlo 3 is much better MUCH , in feel. Halo CE.

Halo 3 is the best of the series.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

I say Halo 3 because it took all of the good things from the first two games and put them together. The Assault Rifle and Pistol from H1, and Dual Wielding and vehicle boarding from H2, and a lot of other things.

Halo 3 was good because of its synthesis.

For the time, yes. Overall, side by side, halo 3 wins easily. I mean you can't play the last third of the level 'the covenent' without gasping a few times. Taking down two scarabs in an air battle, zooming down the side of a mountain, and fighting with the flood! Come on!

H3 is a good game but as with H2 it felt a bit cartoony! the graphics are good but look transparent and flimsy compared to the solidness look of Halo: CE, also the gameplay lacked something, too much time driving round waiting for dumb marines to shoot what you need them to. not enoughproper brawling, like in H:CE when your down to 1 health slot, but miles away from a checkpoint, and you know its a do or die situation. also all the glitches in halo 2's vids pecked head, watching them generate, rather than it just being their when the video starts up. good games, just too many flaws. HALO: CE is not only the best Halo game but also the finest game on the BOX.

Halo 3 sucks because of its synthesis. Vehicle boarding was a cool, new feature, but dual-wielding? Talk about adding a whole new labyrinth of imbalanced gameplay for players to experience. Yes, being able to fire two guns at once and having different combinations of them is interesting and all, but it just makes the gameplay that much more complicated than it should be and imbalanced. One example: Maulers.

The assault rifle, although improved, still seems to be inadequate if you're going against people who have battle rifles. The pistol? It's nothing like the M6D in Combat Evolved; where's my 2X scope and how come I can't 3SK with it anymore?

It did bring some of the good features of Halo and Halo 2 and brought them together; the gameplay brings the fun of Halo 2 but with less auto-aim. Halo 3 is still severely flawed, however. I think Combat Evolved was the best of the trilogy.

Of course, it was the original they could do anything later games have to follow it.

I agree that the first game had the best feel, it's my favorite by far. Halo 1 had a more serious, sometimes creepy sense in campaign, with the mist and large, dark environments. Had some of that in multiplayer maps too, which are by far better than halo 2 or 3 maps. Weapons don't feel lethal in the others. If halo 1 had live, i wouldn't play the other 2. I enjoy halo 3, but it can never match CE

Halo 1>Halo 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>Halo 3

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

halo 1 is and always will be the best of any halo game. Possibly the best of any game every released.

Wut?

but Halo 2 and 3 just never had the same feel to it that Halo 1 did.
How can you expect them two. Halo was a revolutionary game. It's like your first time... having sex... It's never the same feeling later. However, the many other time can end up being much better.

I can't believe I just compared Halo to sex.

I think that was the point in Halo 3. The idea was to make it so you would actively go out and look for weapons but they still wanted to give you a gun that could hold its own in combat. In Halo, for the most part you spawned and instantly went to killing because they spawned you with a weapon that was good or better than the majority of the weapons on the map. Sure, if you ran across the sniper rifle or the rocket launcher you might pick it up but you didn't have too because you really only needed the pistol.

In Halo 3 you could run off and get a few kills with the assault rifle and still hold your own with it, if you are tactical and properly gauge your opponents. But it theoretically should pay off more to actively pursue another weapon like the shotgun or battle rifle and then to utilize it in the proper areas...of course I say theoretically because I usually get sniped right as I'm about to pick up my awesome weapon but the idea is sound. The assault rifle was also an improvement from the smg in Halo 2 as well for a starting weapon because while the assault rifle may be slightly weaker than other weapons the smg was terrible and resulted in too much competition for other weapons.

So, nostalgia aside, I think that Halo 3 is definately the most balanced and my favorite Halo game.

Now we just have to substitute the Halo 3 AR into CE and make it the starting weapon and it would make for some interesting matches.
I agree with you completely, phish.

The campaign in halo 1 had a great quality that they never managed to reproduce in halo 2 or in 3, although 3 came a lot closer.
