Are you serious. Ranking systems have taken all joy from Halo games. That's why cheating occurs. People only play for a fake ranking on a t.v. screen.

Screw that, get me a 4v4 CTF on Blood Gulch or Sidewinder. That's better than anything Halo 3 can muster.

The REAL Master Chief

I agree man 100 percent. Halo 3 isnt a bad game but it isn't half as good as the original. I would pay 100 bucks for HALO with online multiplayer.

Yeah, Halo 1's campaign was so amazing, that when I was walking around the same looking corridor for the twentieth time, i didn't even mind when I apparently backtracked and ended up at the beginning of the level. again.

In regards to novels and "canon". I will pick and choose which ones to support as I damn well please. Cryptum and Glasslands are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

Don't like that? Boo hoo.

Sure they're "canon" but that doesn't mean I have to support them, their existence, or the continued careers of their respective writers.

I stopped at "Halo 1 Marines smarter than Halo 3's..."

I haven't seen Halo 3 Marines shoot each other in the back yet 25 times in a single skirmish and afterwards yell "My bad!"...freaking idiots...and yes, they sometimes do use vehicles in Halo 1 (though very rarely, and for good reason), the Ghost for instance, and they will run you over with their non-existent driving skills.

Amen. That would be the greatest thing to happen to Xbox360.

Good call man...glad im not the only one who thinks this. I was so excited when I saw the new XBL update and there it was, a downloadable version of HALO. All I thought was " updated graphics, surround sound, xbl multiplayer support, yes!" Then I downloaded it and I was a little let down. I think a lot of us "older" halo players await the day when Bungie/MS releases a remake of halo with all new graphics and xbl support. I think they'd make a killing.

So it's 4:30am....

I agree dude, ive gotten really in to Halo CE for the last few days, the campaign is just so freakin awesome!!!!

Idk if it's me, but they're better. The other day I was going through Assault on the Control Room and a marine hopped in a ghost and raped a Wraith...I do not believe I've ever seen that happen in Halo 2 or 3.

Nothing can beat it. It's so damn original.

And that's why Halo 2 and 3 fail in Campaign. The plot gets too big. Stopping one Halo wasn't enough...you have to destroy the other six at the Ark and defeat Gravemind. The hell with that, I'll just play Two Betrayals if I want to kill flood.

In my personal experience, the Halo 2 and 3 Marines have been more intelligent in their decision making and battle skill. They'll snipe, throw grenades accurately, take cover, flank enemies, use vehicles, etc. But for me in Halo 1, it was a chore just keeping them alive...and most of the time they'd die from their own friendly fire.

The only real complaint I might have against Halo 3's Marines is that they all have blasted Assault Rifles instead of better overall weapons like the Battle Rifle...they are pretty damn accurate shots, so why waste such good talent on an AR instead of a BR or Sniper?

EDIT: Oh and they also can't drive...they can man a vehicle's gun or the passenger seat and do fine...but the moment they take the wheel...dear lord...

I agree 100%, Halo CE is soooooooooooo much better. Forge and theater didn't give Halo 3 that much replay value. Heck,Jak and Daxter trilogy had more replay value than Halo 3.

Really?

Because I remember a few levels with arrows on the floor....

  • 12.31.2007 2:39 PM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

In Halo1 (Or Halo2)Marines dont survive second on Legendary. In Halo3 single Marine cant take down many grunts and jackals. They take cover, attack, throw grenades at covers and actually feel alive. Enemies the same.

Driving AI doesnt really exist in Halo1 so cant compare. Halo2 and 3 driving sucks but atleast its an option.

It is a chore to keep them alive in H1. That's very true. And it is more strategic to be able to swap guns with them and strap them up [except with SPNKRs, they always blow me up!].
However, in my experience, H1 marines work better with me. It seems that I always lose my marines in H2 and H3. They just wander away when the shooting starts.

  • 12.31.2007 2:43 PM PDT

Oh and I swear that the enemy count is higher in Halo 1. I know it's not, but it just feels like it. Coming out of the underground tunnel in AoTCR, I must have battled 50-100 Covies [the classic Covenant, not the Brute + Drone jagoffs]. It really felt like a battle field.

Raggle Fraggle!

You just cant have a good CTF game in H3. I remember, back in the good old days of LAN, my friends and I had a 3 hour game of CTF on Sidewinder. 10 on 4 teams. No one got bored, everyone had fun. Most amazing game ever... Hell, my team, the 4, finally lost 3-2... and I still think it was the best game of anything I've ever played!

Now what do you get? A 15 minute game of Neutral Bomb.... come on!

Exactly. 4 hour long games on Blood Gulch with a total of 300 kills and 80 deaths was beautiful. Now it's a 10 minute game on Valhalla.

Heh, I really do miss good ol' Sidewinder...:(

And Boarding Action, so many tense hour long Sniper duels there.

i have to admit that the campaign is better but the multiplayer is too , weird , even though ive played through halo 3 campign tons of times, i cant say that halo 3 has a better campaign.

make xbox live cost more

it will cut down on the 12 year olds

Posted by: blunts2blaze


Obviously online play goes to Halo 3, but multiplayer goes to Halo 1. XBC and LAN battles were plenty more exciting than the Halo 3 XBL. No wonder numbers of gamers on H3 have dwindled online from 500,000 to 50,000. Everyone has gone back to H1 or Cod4. I know I have.


your numbers are a bit off there, considering there have been 900,000 halo 3 players in the last 24 hours.. and xbox live isn't even working properly
