Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

Posted by: RedNeon
The originals are always better than the sequels. It was the first time anyone had played Halo.

But come on. HALO HAS NO MULTIPLAYER.


Actually it did, it had LAN mulitplayer and I don't remember people complaining about playing splitscreen on Goldeneye etc. It didn't have online MM due to the small handicap of XBOX Live not being readily available back then.....and to be honest I am glad it didn't!

Agreed. Halo had an awesome LAN Multiplayer system. And, Goldeneye, I don't recall ANYBODY I knew that ever complained about split screen. I think it's more so that since times are changing, people rely more on their full screen, all by themselves, playing over XBOX Live. Back then you sacrificed half or your screen, or, if there was four of you, you were only playing on a quarter of the screen. So .. yeah it seems tough now, but back then there was nothing wrong with it.

i laugh at the people who say i would pay 100 dollars for halo 1 with XBL. when it comes down to it, if Bungie released halo 1 with XBL support and wanted 100 dollars for it every one of you would complain saying its too much money for an old game that you already own and just need xbox support for.

You guys complain about 10 dollars for maps and say you would pay 100 dollars for halo 1. lol


Funny, I remember saying I would pay that much... Oh, and isn't it funny that I never once complained about $10 maps?

I would pay $50 for new maps! I know how much work goes into games. So shut up!

Don't assume you know how everyone acts. Just because I like Halo: CE better doesn't mean I complain about maps. I'm the first on to say good things about isolation!

Everyone likes the originals better if the play/watch the originals! Alien and Predator movies were better before merging. DOOM was better when it WASN'T copying system shock. Halo was better when it was original and funny, not bland and average.

I wouldn't complain, I would love it, so stop acting like you know everything.

Finally someone smart! But come on, Halo CE, in my opinion, did have a better Campaign.

This is true. For both games, but is much more visible in Halo: CE.

  • 01.06.2009 10:49 AM PDT

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

Blah Blah Blah Halo 1 doesn't have Multiplayer! Oh No! Well guess what, Some People do something called LAN parties, or what some noobs call it, SYSTEM LINK! There is also something called SPLIT-SCREEN where you and three of you friends can PLAY TOGETHER! Man, Live changes everything. It is like if there is no Live at all, there is no Multiplayer.

  • 01.25.2009 10:45 AM PDT

I say it depends whether or not your playing it on the xbox or the pc. Halo 3 pwns xbox halo but not pc halo. Cause in pc halo you get to modify the map or create a brand new terrain and change vehicle specs like making a Warthog turret shot needlers

Music is better in Halo 1 just because it's classic. There's so many ugly remixes of Halo songs in Halo 3 that it makes me puke.



Total BS. The music is way better in Halo 3 than the first one take it from a musician.

This thread is garbage completely. Halo CE was a great game no doubt, but it's not better than Halo 3. The Campaign for Halo CE was my least favorite, then came Halo 3, and Halo 2 was my favorite.

There is no chance you can say Halo is a better game than Halo 3 because that is complete blasphemy and I can't even fathom how ridiculous this thread is. How people are agreeing with you is what really gets me. The health system in Halo CE was terrible compared to H3, and your AI statement was completely inaccurate. I've seen such better AI in Halo 3 than in either of the other Halo games. Think about what you're saying right now. Halo CE is not BETTER than Halo 3.


So what your'e saying is that noone can possibly have a differing opinion to yours...well guess what, we can.

Both games are awsome---when i feel like playing campaign with some classic music i play Halo CE, but when i feel like kickin some @#@$ online and enjoy the better graphics i play i switch to Halo 3......i think both games have a good and a bad thing

A shame, really.

Should have gotten better with the sequels, huh?

  • 03.07.2009 1:07 PM PDT

Yes, they really should have.

In theory every sequel should be better, but Halo 2 was too different, the whole feel of it was a million miles away from Halo CE.

Then again, not every sequel, or progression in a product is always better...look at "new coke" or the Army Men games.....hang on...they were all not that great....ok bad example.

Command & Conquer. Some sequels were great, some not as much.

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.


Lolz why pay $100 dollars on Halo with multiplayer when you can get it for the PC for about 20.

  • 03.09.2009 2:38 PM PDT

The $100 would entail them making an entirely new game. You see, the X-Box version had no netcode, AKA "online magic words", and so lag was horrible. The re-coding would fix that, and thus, would cost extra due to a smaller target market.
