Subject: Halo actually has quite a lot of details that Halo 3 doesn't.

Having the urge to press things is definitely a mild case of OCD.
Just bring a button that is detached from something.
Russians usually have the same "twitch", and those people work in Missile Command.

Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

Sun filtering though trees is better.

Plasma nads sticking to hog wheels will actually spin.

The sky is way better (Halo)

Infection flood forms will crawl on walls more (makes them much more terrifying).

First-person in the passenger seat.

Marines that whoop and holler as you bounce around in a Warthog.

A shotgun that isn't affected by latency and can kill things past three yards.

A sniper rifle that shoots straight.

A plasma rifle that can head shot.

Open-ended gameplay.

Intimidating split-jawed Elites that didn't speak English like freaking Shakespeare.

Double melee.

I did love just staring at the sky in Halo: CE. Especially as you come out of the tunnel where the light bridge is on Halo.
Threshold in front of you, basis up in the sky, the trees, the ring... It's one of my favorite sights.
I have to admit though, the Ark was pretty awesome looking.
No, very awesome looking...

-Dirt being plowed up in the air when a vehicle lands the wrong way

-Compass on the Assault Rifle

-Freeze Effect of Plasma weapons in multiplayer

-Flood combat was literally a flood of Flood

-Needles sticking in a person for several seconds before a-sploding

-More Stealth gameplay, most of which could be bypassed.

when you shoot an enemy with a needler blood will slowly come out.

  • 05.30.2008 11:21 AM PDT

In addition to the things already listed:
-Fall damage (which required you to land on an incline or crouch land - It appears to still be built into the Halo 3 engine, but is used only once, that I know of.)
-Slow firing Rocket Launcher, with a lot of splash damage.
-Hybrid heath system.
-Vehicles that would never despawn/respawn.

Fight good. Fight hard. Fight to the death.

Grunts can curl and uncurl the horn (tip of their backs) whenever they want.

Since I have not played 3, I will limit my comment to CE vs 2. The biggest noticable difference for me is how much more up in my face CE is compared to 2. You just seem alot closer to the action in the original. The overall field of view has a better feel to it in CE than 2, something that keeps me playing CE at a 75-85% clip of my game playing time. Everything else is secondary to me, and not as important as that one main difference.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.
(Proud LONGTIME owner of the PC and Xbox versions of Halo CE)

Halo 1 will always remain in my opinion, Bungie's jackpot!!!

The Grunts actually had two different types of methane tanks in Halo CE.

-The Grunts were awesome at running away

-fun 3-way battles

hilarious grunts and scary elites.

halo 2's elites very intimidatiing, but that first time you see a zealot charge at you with a sword i pissed myself. then died.

nothing can ever emulate the grunts of Halo 1.

the thing i miss the most-the assult rifle. halo 3's assult rifle sounds weak. it now matches it's strength. i loved the halo 1 assult rifle. big, powerful sounding and able to carry enough ammo to get through most levels from start to end.

Health packs rocked, I just wish it was more gradual, but it made more sense than just regenerating alone.

DOWN UNDER WONDER

I loved theCampaigns story the most. And the grunts who can forget the grunts.

Ah its good to see Halo fans aswell. Indeed Halo had many things that Halo 3 needs. Such as Master Chiefs enthusiasim from Halo. Cause Master Chief in Halo 3 was some what a mute but not as bad as in halo 2

Don't say that!

The most important of all:

-Giving players the capability to beat Legendary on their own without absolutely requiring a very specific strategy.

-Giving players the capability to beat a Grunt in a straight-up fight(think Ghost battles in Halo 3).

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

In terms of number of people playing it? Of course. In terms of game play? Absolutely not. Halo 1 had much better game play and maps.
