Dude, I believe the MAIN reason why Halo 1 is better is because of just how richer it plays.

Bungie took the time to devolop a gameplay filled with nail-biting sounds and music that really make you fear some areas and make you feel like they're hostile to your presence or downright epic music highlighting every single one of those amazing moments and environment introductions, impressive or impactful set-pieces to intriguate the player into a battle filled with twists, tricky situations thrown right in your face that force you to use tactics, clever and shocking moments that impress everytime, and better AI. Every single encounter in the game is meticulously placed or sent to give you the most overwhelming, surprising, thrilling and exciting experience.

In the 2 sequels, in comparison, you just get into an area, enemies come, you shoot them. No twists, no set-pieces, no surprises: NOT ENGAGING!!! JUST BORING!!!

Which of the following will I do?
A. Give you up. B. Let you down.
C. Run around. D. Desert you.
E. None of the above.

I miss Sidewinder as well, but at least Halo 3 has Avalanche. It's almost as good as Sidewinder was back in the day. Some of my friends and I still get together for some Halo 1 LAN parties from time to time; sure beats Halo 3 matchmaking.

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! stick it to him!

Yeah my little sister can drive, that doesn't mean that she's smart. Or 16 for that matter. Just cause she 'can' drive, doesn't mean that she 'knows' how to.

Does anyone see my point?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

If Halo:CE had Xbox LIVE, I would be playing that now.

Thats probably the only problem with Halo:CE- they have amazing maps, but they go to waste because you have to play a 4v4 or take the time to connect multiple Xbox's on System Link and there arent any matches on LAN...

Halo 3 wins the multiplayer for actually having MULTIplayer....


If Halo:CE actually had Xbox Live, it would win despite its graphics....

IMO Halo Ce only beats halo 3 in the campaign. The multiplayer was really fun but halo 3 is way better.

I can't believe people think Halo CE is better than Halo 3 just because of the campaign. The campaign is the worst part of any FPS in my opinion. Multiplayer is where its at!

Alright, even then I'd still go online with the original Halo multiplayer, even if Xbox Connect blows. Halo 3's multiplayer is not as good as it once was in my opinion. Halo's has not changed at all. Good old game play. ~Cm

Seven is the greatest number. It's got references everywhere! And it wouldn't surprise me if it was the answer to existance. (42 is in the 7 times table, all you hitchhikers fans will know.)

I took a look at the halo 1 multiplayer for pc, and there were hundreds of people online. People still play halo 2 multiplayer too. As for halo 3, lets just say CoD world at war still hasen't overtaken it, and CoD WaW is 2nd on the charts for live. Nevermind weather 1 is better than 3, the entire Halo universe is a dominating franchise thats now bigger than star wars itself! Lets shake hands and agree that Halo 1 campaign exceeds that of 3 by light years, and that Halo 3 multiplayer is currently the hottest thing going on Xbox LIVE right now.

I would like to invite you to the most active group there is, Black Water Ops.. Boasting over 3,000 members this is one of the fastest growing groups and proven to be one of the most active b.net groups. An amazing experience awaits you with weekly game nights, photo contests, and forging contests. This is one decision you won't regret.

I agree. But forge, screenshots, theater, and online multiplayer are all things that make Halo 3 great. But I don't think anyone's going back to Halo CE. People like their online multiplayer. So while I do agree with you on some things, I'm still gonna stick with Halo 3 (I'll play CE a little bit, though)

The CE campaign is AWESOME! Halo 2 and Halo 3 just weren't the same. You just knew that the flood would turn up sooner or later on the sequels, but on CE it was a big surprise and the way Bungie introduced the Flood in 343 Guilty Spark was just brilliant. I'd argue that the gameplay aspect was better too. I would pay plenty of cash for a CE remake with online multiplayer.

I like both Halo CE and Halo 3. A cool idea would be to update the original to widescreen, add xbox live multiplayer and release it as a Live Arcade title. Just like they did with Battlefield 1943. It was a big success and proved that people want the old games redone and at a cheaper price.

  • 07.31.2009 3:41 AM PDT

i so agree i hate how they changed the lobby music. i only went through the campain once activly. i went through a second time to get acivements. it sucked. i love halo 1 so much i went and got halo for the pc just for the online multiplayer. it rocks. erlier i was playing in a moded live map. snipers has like 15 shots a round and where more powerfull than a rocket. i would buy an app for halo 1 enabiling xbox live play

lol can your little sister drive advanced alien vehicles which have mechanisms that are extremely complicated?

I find it interesting that a lot of people here who say Halo 1 is better, have actually never played Halo 3 before.

I have played both well past the point of embarrassment. (And 2) I pronounce them all incredible. There is no argument to be had. It's all the same thing. I have spoken.

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.


Amen. That would be the greatest thing to happen to Xbox360.
Maybe, but LAN shall always dominate XBL, because you are playing with friends.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

The Arbiter is not invincible. Plus, he's only with you on a few missions. Oh and there are plenty of invincible characters in Halo 1 and 2. But in Halo 3, after taking enough the damage, the Arbiter will die and will stay dead until you yourself kill all the enemies in that area. Show's how much you know about Halo 3. Have you even played Halo 3 before? Your profile says you haven't.

Halo CE's marines arent the best, but they seem human. They apologize for friendly fire and taunt the enemy.
Plus, badass armor.
The levels were sooooooo fun to explore, AotCR was fun if you take a Warthog with no gunner into a Wraith before the huge tunnel.
And, there was one essential thing to the storyline the sequels couldnt compare to; the Flood.
When i was a wee 7 year old tyke those guys gave me nightmares, cuz they took over humans, and randomly reanimated. Plus, you cant beat down a normal Blue Elite in 2 punches like a brute can you?
But i still love Halo 3. Halo CE: was just the first. It was the game that MADE ME A GAMER.
