Subject: Why Halo beats Halo 3

You don't kick a man when they're down, so don't teabag me when I'm dead!

I disagree. I recently downloaded Halo CE onto my 360. The controls aren't jagged, but they're not flexible either.

Blood Gulch is awful, I dunno why so many people like it; the Warthog drives like a bath and the Elites just growl and shoot at you, and hit you when you get too close.

So the AI is pretty average, the warthog is awful to drive and I keep getting lost on levels.

However, I like the health and shields combo. I also like the way the gunner and passenger of the warthog have their own health.

And, coincidentally, it's set in the same time as the book Halo: The Flood, which I am currently reading. The game dialogue is nearly exactly the same as the book's speech.

Does it really matter how many people play it as long as you dont have to maintain servers?

I agree with some of your points, but I wonder how halo CE would have stood up in online MM.
Look how many glitches halo2 had, I bet HaloCE would have had even more.

  • 05.06.2009 12:18 AM PDT

Halo 2 had Superjumps and Button Glitches.

Halo: CE had Backpack Reload.

Is that more? I can't tell.

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.
Really?

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

yeah, that's what I don't enjoy in all the Halo games in general. The way that you have to go is just too straight foward. It has no puzzle feel to it. I still LOVE the Halo games, just think that would've been a nice touch.

what the...where did that nade come from?

half of these kids have never played halo 1....they started at 3. old skool players know halo 1 > all.

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2

There's really no comparison. Most who have played the series competitively would concur that: Halo 1 >> Halo 3 > Halo 2. The series has really been dumbed down from Halo 1. And in the process, lost a lot of the unique enjoyment.

I agree. The Mark V made him look much more faceless, robotic, and intimidating. The Mark VI had a little too much of a..how should I put this...friendlier look.

I agree, although I did like the Halo Wars Spartan variant...that looked good....John in Halo 2 looked like a robot that Honda would produce....

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

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.
I kill Marines that are anywhere NEAR Ghosts on sight.

I must agree in this respect. It's much too watered down for heavy competitive play, and it is difficult to say the least for a great player to rise above the rest.

At Schlatter - lol.

  • 05.16.2009 7:59 PM PDT

100% agreed.

-10x more amazing moments
-a better more in-depth story with
-WAY better characters and
-much more mystery
- better level design,
-better opponents,
-some superior songs that heavily surpass the disgusting remixes in the two sequels (agree with you),
-priceless atmospheres and
-incredibly better-feeling weapons THAT ACTUALLY ALL HAVE A PURPOSE INSTEAD OF BEING THERE TO LOOK NICE ONLY (looking at you spiker, most covenant weapons, etc).

Makes me sad, both sequels lost everything that made the original so spectacular.

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.

You do know that Halo 1 has 5.1 surround sound, right?

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2

Oh hell, marines on ghosts are like magnets to you. The marines AI is nothing special, but the enemy AI is a lot better/dynamic in Halo 1. For example, the elites in both H2 and H3 are complete morons, and very easy to kill. In H1 they are much harder to kill. They dodge your advances, and melee very effectively. Plus the get the hell out of dodge when a grenade is thrown.

Sad but true. We were given a precious gem with H1, then two very polished turds with H2 and H3.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Halo CE til i die! dont get me wrong, i love a good game of halo 3, but the campaign of halo 1 is just so far superior to halo 3, i mean the pistol just makes the game beter!

  • 05.20.2009 10:32 AM PDT

Mark V armor, a campaign that doesn't suck, and weapons that are actually worth using.

To be honest if Halo 3 didn't have theater I would probably never put the game in my console.

I get what you are pointing at but I personaly think Halo 2 over ranks all.

eyyhaw. I like Halo 3 better then Halo 2 for both SP and MP. Halo 1 just ellipses them both.

Oh god totally agreed! Weapons have better fealings in halo CE than Halo 2 or 3. Just look on the magnum;
Halo CE: BEST WEAPON OF ALL TIME!!!
Halo 2: Ok... loss is scope and it's power, but still accurate and fun headshoting grunts
Halo 3: ...even worst than the halo 2, feeling is that it's not accurate, not powerfull, and of course, doesn,t have scope.

Also, do you know why they taked out the scope to the magnum?! Dual wielding. How master Chief could snipe with a dual wielded magnum?!
And by the way, I would ban the dual weilding, it makes one handed weapon weaker because double ones just make as strong as a BR... So single but powerfull as two handed weapons would be best!
Also, weapons in halo CE are more equal. Plasma Pistol is near strong as the plasma rifle, but in halo 3, you would never have that gun!

Your logic is flawed and your opinion is wrong!

Since when did Halo 3's online player count drop so much? Every time I look, it's still somewhere around 500,000 (or more, if it's on the weekends).

I know this is just my opinion, but I always thought that Halo 1 and Halo 3 were on par with eachother.

In case you need a more direct look into my ideas, here's my 1-10 scale for each game in the trilogy.

Halo 1: 10/10
Halo 2: 9.5/10
Halo 3: 10/10

Halo: The Flood is a novelization of Halo 1.
It's not coincidence.
