Hes looking at is from a competitive standpoint. And from a competitive standpoint Halo 3 is joke. I could live with Halo 2, but Halo 3 is terrible if looking at it from a skill-based perspective.

Well, a lot of people happen to disagree with him from MLG, but I don't care. I play Halo for the story and for fun.

Gods Must Be Strong

Well the Campaign beats all the other campaigns in the Halo series but Halo 3's matchmaking is way too fun.

Halo CE = Halo 3 in my book

Im right now playing through Halo CE campaign..For like the first time ever.

Well well.. I don't see how Halo CE is so much better then Halo 3.

another thing is the mods in halo are a lot better than in halo 3 but still in halo you cant get energy swords or feulrods. also halo multiplayer stinks so i think halo 3 is the best.

(: Every day is a happy day! :)

dtc ppwnage first you describe things prevertedly, second it is considered the best halo game by like 95% of bungie fans, third halo 1 has great multiplayer you just need more people, finally halo 2 campaign = horrible because halo 2 was made for multiplayer.

Why? He is completely right on all points. Casual gamers dont know squat about the game anyway, they play it no matter what.

I know we're all sick of CoD4 vs. Halo 3 so let's stick to a more overlooked aspect.

Halo 1 is better than Halo 3.

As dumb as it sounds it's true. Halo 3 may have forge and a great multi-player on XBL, but Halo: CE warrants more replay than Halo 3.

Let's take Campaign from H1 and H3 into comparison: Not only is Halo 1 Campaign better, it gives so much room to explore. Every large level in Halo 3 has a rediculous amount of invisible barriers creating a cramped environment on a huge level. The level Covenant is a piss ant put against AoTCR. Especially on Legendary. Playing Covenant is forced and rough around the edges. Control Room is huge and so fun to play. You can grab a tank or a banshee or a warthog or a ghost. You're not forced to a damn Hornet.

Obviously graphics aren't up for comparison. So we'll pass that up.

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.

The A.I. in Halo 1 seems to be smarter than the guys in Halo 3. The marines know whats going on and don't drive away with your warthog [ or destroy you while you're in it]. Elite A.I. [and Elites in general] is a more enjoyable adversary than any Brute in Halo 3.

The diagnosis: Halo 3 overdosed on too much new stuff. Too many weapons [however I was very pleased to see the pistol and AR return]. Too many vehicles that have no real use [aside from the chopper]. Sure the jacking system was a cool addition, but Halo 2 already pulled that out.

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.

I'm not saying that Halo 3 is a bad game. It's pretty good to be honest. But it is nowhere near Halo 1.

AotCR ftw!

Halo 1 music is badass. On a Pale Horse and The Covenant Dance are my favorites.

The Halo 1 AI are smarter. No Zealots in Halo 3. :'(

The Halo 3 pistol is a great tool of destruction when you're not in a hurry. I killed the four Brute Stalkers on The Covenant with the Magnum on Legendary. :D But if you're in a rush, the Halo 3 Magnum is not very reliable because of it's slow rof. The Carbine/BR is more useful.

I like the Halo 3 Wraith. The AA Wraith variant is my favorite vehicle.

Marines are awesome on the back of warthogs and mongooses in Halo 3. I never take the tank on the Covenant level. I just hop on the mongoose with a rocket wielding marine and blow the hell out of everything. I think enemy AI are better in CE, but the marines are much better in Halo 3 and ODST.

  • 02.21.2010 1:12 PM PDT

Yeah halo 1 campaign is much better than any other halos if halo 3 had halo 1 campaign it would be the best game. bungie should make a downloadable add on for halo 1 campaign in marketplace.

  • 02.21.2010 7:59 PM PDT

If Halo:CE had MM it probably would've been perfect.

Moo.

I agree.

You're not forced to a damn Hornet.Maybe it was this that inspired me. The snow part of The Covenant alone is 1.5 times as big as AotCR. Additionally, you can grab a tank, hornet, warthog, ghost, mongoose, prowler, banshee, or wraith during it.

Oh, BTW, Halo of Halo 1 does rank up as the largest level measured thus far, scoring twice the size of AotCR and barely edging out The Ark (47 vs 49 hectares). It's only 1.33 times the size of the Citadel Cirque, though, so expect Covenant to beat it. ODST may do big too.

So that's how it is. You all ought to know better than that.

To me the Halo:CE campaign was the best because it was more of a challenge. Sure the marine AI weren't really able to drive and were toast on legendary, but it just made the game more challenging and reinforced the dark and lonely atmosphere that made the game awesome.

I've noticed something on this thread. A lot of people are complaining about Halo:CE not having online multiplayer.
1. Xbox Live was not created when Halo came out. So, it couldn't have been there.
2. You do have real friends, don't you? Well then play with them!
Halo is epic. Get used to it.
