I played it the other day.

One thing I noticed after my red light problem with the 360 is that the game plays much better on the original Xbox.

Anybody else noticed this?

Yes, ever since the Xbox 360 was released. Due to emulation issues, the game doesn't perform as well on the 360 as it does on the Xbox despite the former's superior specs is because it wasn't made to run on the 360.

It's really more of a 3 ~ 1 > 2

Depends on how you look at it, 3 has so much more variety, but 1 is more of a personal game, since you're playing only people you know, making it a lot more fun.

I switched ISP's and my new one doesn't work so well on XBC. I wish I could still play it though. I miss not having to worry about the lack of skill necessary to play Halo 2 and 3.

I just LANed Halo 1 tonight with some old college buddies. The most apparent/striking difference from Halo 3, which is what I've been playing a lot of lately, is the "tight" feel of the game. For example, if I see a little bit of a head around a corner, I can snipe it. In Halo 3, there is always some invisible wall that blocks my shot. And let's not even get into how much better the weapons are in H1...

This.

It's kinda hard to describe the different feeling in each game. I'm not quite sure how to put words to it. Maybe Halo 1 could be a "close" feel, while Halo 3 feels a bit too "large-scale" for my tastes.

  • 12.21.2007 6:00 AM PDT

In Halo CE, you have to aim. In the other 2, especially Halo 2, not so much.

Halo 3 is much more complicated. Not saying it's a bad thing, it's just the main difference that I notice.

As a non-360 owner, I play CE and 2 alot (obviously!). There is definately a more "in your face" feel to CE than there is playing 2. I actually prefer CE to 2 because of that. I feel like CE offers more variety even going through the same levels, because you can approach each level differently and have fun, while not being at a huge disadvantage by not playing a certain style or weapon combo. With 2 there are too many times when if you do not play the exact same way at certain points in the game, you are dying way to often. The grand scale of CE is for the eyes, with much of the combat up close. 2 is still a visual treat. It has more ways to explore the campaign maps, but too much of the combat is middle to long range.

One of the more enjoyable things in CE is to not use vehicles when they are available, or to get banshees when you are not supposed to. With 2, if you do not use the Scorpion, Ghost, Banshee or Warthog when they are available the game comes to a slogging halt with almost no chance of success (in at least 75% of the scenarios).

Granted, the skulls make for some interesting options in 2, but overall, I much prefer CE.

Maybe its just cause I am so darn old!

It’s all cyclical...

While I play the bulk of the time in matchmaking on 3, I still at least once a month go back and run through CE. Although previous post was rite, I play CE on my original xbox, while 2 & 3 on 360. For me CE provides the best single player campaign.

I'd say that biggest difference is that Halo 2/3 feel much sloppier than Halo 1. For example, grenades. Grenades in Halo 1 were extremely predictable in how they bounced and when they would explode. You could place a grenade literally exactly where you wanted it. This expanded their role in gameplay, as the key to deep gameplay is predictable mechanical functions (i.e. if I press this button and aim at this spot, I will get the same response everytime) that create a consistent world of rules that can be manipulated. Grenades in Halo 2/3 do not have nearly as predictable a bounce and therefore end up being used in a more "spammy" function.

Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i still play halo from time to time. it's just a great game and i enjoy it very much. the story the gameplay, it's just awesome. in some respects better then it's sequels.

Half of 8 is 3!

I just played in a LAN party with 7 other people last night. It was probably the most fun I have had with out lube in some time! I miss the good old days of 8v8 on Blood Gultch or Sidewinder, or even a good game of Hang em High with only shotguns and no shields or grenades. Man do I miss those days. But it was really good to play again.

I broke my Halo 2 disc into about 20 pieces, placed it all back into the case, and mailed back to Bungie Studios. I don't think they cared but it's the thought that counts. I also demanded my 50 bucks back, I'm still waiting for it.

Just message me on live.

Dude there was no such thing as consoles with online in 2001. This game has a classic feel to it, really only good with friends.
