ha ha wow, kid, you're an idiot. Halo:CE is considerably better than Halo 2 and debatably as good as Halo 3.

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.


Exactly. Back then, Halo was the only reason alot of people even purchased an Xbox. If you wait however many years later to play it, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment, because you're going to go in with expectations too high.

-The assault rifle is useless and takes 1/2 hour to reload-actually more like 2 seconds
-The ghost handles like -blam!-fun,fun,fun
-You can't aim and drive at the same time with the tank (how retarded is that) it's an old game
-It takes 150 bullets to kill an elite-then you have horrible aim (use the magnum!)
-The pistol has that stupid flip toss animation after each melee-deal with it?
-There are like 75 hunters on each level-the best part xD <3 hunters
-You can't even freaking change your controller settings in mid game...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?-no response
-Turrets and vehicle weapons have HORRIBLE aim.-I dont thing so, change your sensitivity
-and the list goes on for miles- it just ended xD

I had 3 Halo 3 Beta Invites, 2 Halo: Reach Beta Invites

Halo 1 has good campaign, while Halo 2 and 3 have good MP and good SP for Halo 3. I mean sure, when I first played Halo 1 back at the beginning on 2004 I thought it was terrible, but you know, I continued playing against and with my friends, and I'm glad I did...

Excuse me, when did you become an expert? Can you honestly compare Halo: CE and Halo 3 objectively or Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Wars(both by C&C) and still believe the newer games are better. Sure, they might have more features, better graphics, and expand the story, but they have inferior gameplay.

Just message me on live.

I started with Halo 2, then Halo: PC, and then Halo 3. Halo (for the xbox) is the most fun to play, and I'm comparing it as if it were just released - not as a classic. The only problem being not enough friends play Halo so I can't do system link.

Now can we let this die? He posted about once like most people who come here.

You only hate it because it's not Halo 3 or a new game.

Chill out - dude, you really need to

absolutely right. when i first played Halo 3, i realized that a large part of why it was so much better than Halo 2 was because it was so much like Halo 1!

this just goes to show how damn good and ahead of its time Halo 1 was.

Also have you noticed that so many complaints about Halo 1 as compared to Halo 3 come from the fact that Halo 1 takes more skill...?

sorry, but you're a tad late to the party. despite your whinings the game already has a legendary status in the history of gaming.

Of course the gameplay between Halo and Halo 3 is going to be different.

What did you expect, Halo is not as technologically advanced. Some of us still like Halo more than Halo 3, not because it was first but because it is better.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

crap i can't believe this thing is still going, it's been like 2-1/2 months already!

anyway, it cracks me up to see some of the points people posted about about what makes a better game. i agree with chickenlittle, it comes down to gameplay. no game in the trilogy has set the benchmark for gameplay the way the first game did. it introduced the weapons/grenade mechanic, successfully integrated vehicular gameplay (that was fun at that!), and completely reinvigorated the FPS on game consoles, something that was primarily locked onto PC's.

a little more polish, easy kill mechanics, and more gametypes/modes etc, do not make a better game.

Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!
Perfect Grenade
Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

I don't know where to begin.

The AR was a beast. Loud and powerful. And it's not that long of a reload...
The Ghost was extremely fast and dealt some power hits.
Uh.. yes you can drive and aim with the tank.
Elites were the best, tough and actually smart. Great AI.
Best melee animation of all time, if you ask me. Looked so great.
There are only a few encounters with Hunters.
Oh well, not that big of a deal.
Not really...
The list ends here.

GREAT GAME. 777/10.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

You're just pissed because it's not how you imagined it. It was amazing back then. Remember that was made EIGHT years ago! Things have changed.

I agree that all presidents should serve 2 terms. 1 in office and 1 in prison

i have a friend who feels the same way, he never played halo CE just halo 2 just trash talks the -blam!- out of it but people need to remember that halo CE was first, if you didnt play that first then you didnt get the experience and just played on the improved version, so you go into halo CE full of expectations from halo 2 and feel let down.

I could maybe see that perspective if they started with Halo 3, but I don't understand it with Halo 2. In terms of gameplay Halo 2 had more complex graphics, and that reduced clarity. All other changes seemed to break gameplay. The maps are inferior. If I had started with Halo 2, Halo: CE would have been a very pleasant surprise. Actually, I probably would have never played Halo: CE. The only thing that would have bothered me is the menus, lack of customization, and live play. I suspect people would know about the live issue going into it.

Thats sad. If you only play Halo 3 because you like to....
