Subject: I just bought Halo...it fails hard!

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

The only reason I'm here is because of that game. Try to play co-op with a friend on Legendary on that game without trying to die or losing marines. You may or may not have fun. In other words, I respectfully disagree with everything in your post.

Here is my opinion
Posted By:SKiTz THEGEMINI

I just bought Halo Combat Evolved because I had never played it and I like Halo 3 so much so I figured...what the heck.

This is easily one of the top 5 worst games ever.

-The assault rifle is useless and takes 1/2 hour to reload

It's great when shields are down, and you have to be patient. Halo 1, unluckily for some of you, doesn't have very easy to aim and use overpowered weapons (the pistol still requires SOME skill)
-The ghost handles like -blam!-
Be more detailed about it. And it handles fine for me.
-You can't aim and drive at the same time with the tank (how retarded is that)
Of course you can, you'll just turn a little bit, but that's all.
-It takes 150 bullets to kill an elite
That's why you have to use a plasma weapon+human weapon combo.
-The pistol has that stupid flip toss animation after each melee
Is it REALLY that important? Really, it's a REALLY little thing
-There are like 75 hunters on each level
There are 2-4 that can be taken out with 1 pistol shot on LEGENDARY.
-You can't even freaking change your controller settings in mid game...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Just get to the next checkpoint then go to main menu and change?
-Turrets and vehicle weapons have HORRIBLE aim.
Maybe it's you with the bad aim?
-and the list goes on for miles
You probably just don't like it because you played the better graphics and more features of halo 3 first.

This game was so highly praised that I can't believe how bad it is. It's mind boggling how terrible this game is. All I can say is thank you Bungie for seeing the THOUSANDS of flaws in this game and fixing them by the time you got to Halo 3.

What a waste of $10

Ps. The pistol has zoom! Were the Bungie developers drunk when they made this game?

Angry rant concluded

The pistol NEEDS that scope, and if you don't like it, DON'T USE IT!!
And it's an old game. It's a GREAT game for it's time, I still think it's better than H3.

1.You fail hard
2.The game was made in 2001. The technology that was available then is nothing that compares to what is available now. I, personally, liked Halo 1 enough though I had played Halo 2 first. The story was great and that is important. I still like to go back and play it just to see how the Halo series all began.

If you started out playing Halo CE and worked your way to Halo 3, you would have more appreciation for the game. Considering that game was made back in 2001, the graphics are not that bad and the overall gameplay in campaign exceeded expectations back then. With the new technology, game developers are required to step up every aspect in their game, and that's why you see Halo 3 as being so much better than Halo CE.

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

Kid, you missed the impact it had back in the day. I owned it a year or two after it was released. Picked it up with KoTOR as an xbox system bundle at Toys r Us.

Both are games of the year, and for a reason.

The complexity of Halo is huge. Look at the ground, you can see every blade of grass. Look at how well the story line is put together.

As for KoTOR, I'd say the same.

The only other game I've had for the xbox, I don't have a 360, is Halo 2. That's all a guy needs.

You have no appreciation for culture.

And anyway, if you'd have started with Halo CE you'd almost absolutely think differently. It was the best of the best, it was a legend, it brought gamers together, but most of all; it brought in new people to FPS and games in general.

QFT!
BTW the pistol scope is smart-linked, which means your visor zooms for you. just like it does all the time in halo 2 and 3, but only when you dont shoot. the rocket launcher scope and i think the splazer in halo 3 are smart-linked too. halo 1-3 rox ur sox and u know it.

Like how old is the op?
I played Halo CE and it was awesome and I think Halo CE > Halo 3.
And look at the OP signature, he is not a real Halo Fan.

This is like saying that Doom 3 is better than Doom.

  • 06.15.2008 10:22 AM PDT

Everything you just listed in the very first post of the thread actually makes the game a lot funner and harder. Aw well.

Less for you. More for me.

But you don't play Halo for realism, or maybe even authenticity, because shotguns have an effective range about fifteen feet.

Your an abosolute idiot for bashing Halo CE. It was incredidble for its time and I still remember playing co-op with my buddy the entire weekend on that guy. One of the best gaming experiences EVER.

Nobody ever said fans who Halo CE > Halo 3 had to be mature or pay attention to grammar. It's just rare.

Aw, for cryin' out loud.
Each thing in its own time and place.

I still love Dig-Dug. Don't hear me complaining about Dug's pixels.

CE's excellence still trumps most of what has come since.
Few seem to have learned its valuable lessons.
What a shame.

Viva Halo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 06.16.2008 6:09 PM PDT

okay, this reply is how far into the subject, and will anyone even ready my comment most likely not but, Halo CE is one of the greatest games in the world! It has shaped new games of today, imagine if this first halo was never released, many other shooters would probably not even be here. The amount of influence this game made upon other games is astonishing. Also in addition, the sequels wouldnt have even been what they were without the first games foot print on videogame history.

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

This is so stupid. You're probably one of those punks that talks sh-t to random people on Xbox Live, and then kick them from your Custom Games without giving them a chance to reply back.

You're really, really not doing good for anybody if you're acting like a presumptuous jerk.

I think we should let this thread die instead of having everybody and their grand mother get on the band wagon to bash this guy. Oops, too late.
