Typo. I meant H3. And you're right about dual wielding in H2. They've made it much better in the third one and with its setup, dual-wielding is too much fun for me to be able to definitively say that CE would be better.
It may have seemed like an interesting, novel concept at the time Bungie decided to make it in the second game, and it added variety, but at the cost of more balanced game play. The game just plays differently because they had to take in account dual-wielding and the repercussions it would have in multiplayer. They screwed it up, and on a slightly irrelevant note, look at the freaking Needler. Now it's so over powered that you can no longer dual-wield it. It takes like five needles to blow someone up. Is a weapon that kills people faster than they can react and at the same time be so easy to dodge by strafing your idea of fun, balanced multiplayer, Bungie?

No, the graphics are terrible and the animations are terrible.


Yea you know how long ago it came out? It was awesome back in its day. But yea, I wouldn't play Halo 3 again.

Oh, and its still the best. ;)

To play or not to play....

It would be good... Maybe not the very best game ever but definately in my top twenty.

people always complain about Halo CE not being balanced. But the game is very balanced. EVERYONE has the best weapon in the game when they respawn. Noone respawns with crap weapons and everyone has a chance right off the bat.

But alas Halo CE is beginning to age a little. Graphics and even some gameplay elements are beginning to show age compared to recent games (such as Halo 3).

My opinion is that all three are excellent games, but my favorite is Halo 3.

Hmm. If I were reviewing these games for an editorial on a ten-out-of-ten scale, I would probably give the first game around 7/10, which is good and above average, a 5/10 or 6/10 for Halo 2, just average, and a 7/10 for Halo 3, which is just above average. :)
