it was coop with a friend. we where racing around the Silent Cartographer (very fun for those who havent done it), and i could barely control MC. The aimer was out of control, the distortion of the scenery when i looked up/down made me nausious, and meelee's felt like a flick due to the lack of camera movement and lunging, and the warthog was like riding on ice.

this was really depressing. I love halo just as much as i love Halo 2, but now i cant stand it. Many times i found myself standing over a weapon holding "Y" trying to duel wield. once i even tried to switch weapons with a marine. I couldnt kill like i used to. The covies took control, and killed me many times. I just wanted to share that.

i didnt post this in New Mombasa or The Library because i couldnt figure out wich one it would fit in, so ya.

I like the Melees better, and the old warthog is a fraking beast! Also... try the old plasma rifle.. its pretty cool... but the pistol? Ugh! And don't even get me started on the assault rifle. And who can forget the terribbly slow rocket launcher?

I played multiplayer. The brake on the warthog is a wonderful thing. My friends wouldn't let me use the ghost as an invincible assault weapon. I can't imagine why....

It doesn't seem like crap... It seems like a completely different experience. It's like when you first played halo2 and expected it to be like halo 1... now, pl;aying halo1 you expect it to be just like halo2

true, but i seriously couldnt stand it. i nearly threw up because of the scenery distortion. i also noticed the coop was really choppy, and cortana sounded alot younger.

No, I don't expect it to be like Halo 2. I am used to Halo 2, but I understand there is a difference. I like them both, but Halo 1 is far too slow and jerky. Halo 2 is much smoother.

Halo 1 had stuff halo 2 doesnt, and i want to re-experience that. But i cant. I guess i shouldnt complain, seeing as halo 2 is alot better, but..... i dunno.... its just wierd.

the very few things i liked better from halo 1 are the plasma rifle and pistol...remember when the plasma pistol actually hurt stuff and kind of followed stuff? good times. now you have to be right by them to hit them with the plasma pistol. i was playing campaign mode on normal and it took 4 charged up pp shots just to kill a grunt! barely anybody ever used the plasma pistol and they toned it down. also ive noticed the pr doesnt paralyze people anymore, they move around like they werent getting shot.

really, the only thing i liked better about Halo 1 was the broad, open environments and the randomated AI (wich is presented better in H1). Halo 2 feels cramped and scripted most of the time.

I love the plasma pistol! I use it to take down shields not guys. Thats what the big guns are for.
