Sealhound, the rocket did shoot faster, as in, the projectile moved faster (not that you could let off two rounds faster like in H2). I guess you haven't caught on that there are these things on the controller called control sticks, and they help you strafe and dodge fire from a firing opponent. Try it, you will find that you come out on top even when they start the battle. And also try jumping, if you jump and fire down on them you are more likely to hit their head, and it is also a form of dodging. And have you ever tried to kill someone with a Battle Rifle when you are really close and they are dual wielding, lost cause. Dual wielding is the solution to close range combat. Go play some more Halo2 and get back to me when you actually know what you are talking about, or then again, just stop playing it and go whine and play Halo.

I would have to agree with you very much so, however with one thing. The swords and rocket launchers are a possible way to fight. This we all have seen, and most likely hate. They overpower anything. Why can't Bungie take out the two cheapest weapons in the game? I mean come on they are way too cheap.

You are stupid! The battle rifle takes about 4-5 placed shots to the head, and the carbine is 6-7. You really have no clue what you are talking about, rather you just like to talk bull-blam!-. I could whoop your ass in Halo or Halo 2 anytime, because you think the pistol in h1 is the same as the carbine, or br in h2.

That is stupid, think about halo 1 without the pistol. Nobody would have ever played it because it would be retarded and the only real long range weapon would be the snipe,(cough...Halo 2) Bungie could have easily made the pistol balanced (and not a worthless bb gun) and made everyone happy, and not make 1/2 the damn pro community quit. Yeah duel wielding kills faster, but killing someone with it takes 1.5 seconds, and theres not much room for improving your duel wielding skills other than knowing the right weapons to get. I say bungie redoes the BR so it does 3 shot burst and do a 1 shot burst and make it 4 shots to the head kill, and like 5/6 shots to the body and 1 shot to the head. 1 shot rather than 3 shot burst would be more skilled IMO. And tone some of that crazy autoaim down. The BR also needs to be longer range. The only weapon I really find satisfying killing with is the Carbine, and its an alien gun :-\.

but then again id rather just have Halo 1 on live, same with about a million other people.

Here is a legit complaint. On default control settings, you pulled the L trigger while in the tank to shoot your chaingun. When you switched to boxer, the chaingun was remapped to the B button, and the L button was rendered useless. You would have to leave the right stick to hit it, making it a chore to aim and shoot at the same time. Most boxers chose not to use the tank's chaingun because of this. In Halo 2 this has been fixed. Boxers can happily hold the L trigger down to unleash the chaingun, and keep their ability to aim and shoot. Personally, I didn't care about he pistol very much. Yes it was overpowered, but I would always search out better weapons.

Did I luv the pistol in Halo?Yes.Was it overpowered?HELL YES! And this is the main reason 2 is better. I was hella good with the pistol but it was unrealistic. It zoomed in with no visible scope for god sake.2 has more ways to kill.2 is better and I still luv the first one.I did however like the more openness of the levels on the 1st better though. but the graphics and story are way better on 2.Most importantly multi is betteron 2 cause it is more balanced.

How many times can you say noob in one day chicken? You just flamed another kid for wanting to know where the soccerball was, and you called him a noob too. Just to let you know, if the mods read that, they will probably ban you. It's against the rules of the forum. My suggestion is use a new word, like nincompoop.

Holy Indian, what are you talking about? You don't give Halo 2 any credit, it improved so much from Halo 1. Halo 1 was an experienced player's game, you had to practice and practice before you could touch anyone who had played before, now in Halo 2, you can pick it up more quickly. And don't say that it is a game for inexperienced players, how high up on the Xbox Live ranking system are you? I'm a 16 and it is starting to get tough. There is a faster learning curve on Halo 2 but once you get past the first few ranking levels the competition picks up really fast, and that is what a great game is all about. In Halo 1, there was always such a discrepancy between good and bad players, it was never close or fun when you played someone better or worse than you. But I still stand by my statement that I love both games for their different aspects, and I would never pick one over the other.

Im fine with the old game and the new game, except how now every person has a SMG, and its about dueling. I'd rather start of with the old Assault Rifle.

I really liked the change halo 2 brought, i mean everyone could pistol whore all the time and it really cheapened the game. Halo 1 with the pistol you can bring down the warthog by killing the driver with three shots from across the map. In halo 2 I really enjoy driving around in the hog with a gunner and being able to actually live long enough to dominate. I really noticed the great strides halo 2 made when during a halo 2 lan party we decieded to play a match of halo, I was so boring, just continous pistols duals every where, the strategy was if there were no vehicles just charge right up the middle of blood gulch because you had pretty much an equal chance of killing anyone you ran into. Don't spam and call me a noob because, of the people I laned with I was always the best and with halo 2 I'm not because halo 2 is a different game that I find to actually be more fun, One reason: I get to lose all the time. Xbox Live matchmaking rules in that respect. Second: the vehicles are flaming death traps, everybody knows and they still rush for the vehicles because that is what seperates the halo series from any other fps, beautiful balanced vehicle combat. I think halo 2 has emproved this, To a certain extent original halo was like rb63 for dummys, Halo 2 was what the franchise was striving for all along.

If you are going to post at least say why! As far as I'm concerned I don't even know if you own Halo 2. Like I said, give a reason, not just a one liners.

Hey Moderators, is there a possibility that this post could get a sticky? It has been going strong for longer than a month (to my surprise), and I would really be thankful if you made it a permanent addition to the website. Because of its provocative title, many people read and respond to it, and it has yielded a good healthy discussion about both Halo 1 and 2 so far. Thank you.
