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!
