A bunch of people have been saying that halo 2 is better than halo 1. bull crap! In halo 1 there were flaws but not as many as in halo 2. For instance, i can walk over and flip a tank over but cant seem to throw a grenade three feet in front of me. Another reason is Halo 2 was supposed to be the battle to save earth, there were three levels on earth counting cairo station. it was way over hyped and did not deliver what it promised which was a better game. I think if bungie went back and made halo 1 for xbox live they would make more money and overall more people would be happy. and if you were going to protect earth, why would u use a crappy pistol that cant kill a friggin grunt instead of the halo 1 pistol which could destroy the enemy and actually pose a threat by itself.

Halo 1=fun
Halo 2 =crap

I would tend to agree with you in the fact that halo 2 has its flaws, but I wouldn't say its crap. One main problem I have with halo 2 is the frickin A.I. Why wont they get in you frickin vehicle!? The pistol is the bomb in halo 1

A headshot with the magnum is an instant kill on Grunts.

I love Halo 2 just as much as the original. I don't see any problems to tell the truth.

I know the magnum is a one shot kill in the head to any unshielded target. I was just saying it is weaker than the halo 1 pistol.

Halo 1>Halo 2 but I am also sick of people whining about halo 2. For anyone who said no to having halo 1 on Xbox LIVE. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME WHY! Even if you think Halo 2 is better ... do you have something against Halo 1? Those of us (a considerable amount) who like halo 1 more and find it more fun would be at peace for the rest of our lives if we could just have it on LIVE. Why does it seem that all those halo 2 lovers are out to ruin my gaming experience ... you've all been ruining it ever since you started liking Halo 2 and discouraging the pistol. I don't care who has to say whats realistic or whats fair about either game. I just really enjoy playing halo 1 and shooting the pistol. SO CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY I CAN'T HAVE THAT ON LIVE!?!?!

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

the story is better in H1. The missions seem to be more important to human survival. Like rescuing the marines all the time and captain keyes, MORE military based missions

I haven't played Halo 2 but I have played Halo and I have seen the video clips from Halo 2. When I saw that MC had to go to another Halo I was quite disappointed. The trailers made me think that Halo 2 would be based 100% on Earth which was comforting because I did not want to fight more flood. I found the fact that the story lines of Halo and Halo 2 were very much the same, (trying to stop someone from activating Halo) was somewhat of a bummer. I was disappointed to find out that the pistol wouldn't have a scope on it but fortunately, Bungie made up for it with putting a scope on the Battle Rifle.

I'll probably have a more certifiable opinion once I play Halo 2 but until then, this is what I say.

I think the reason that people dont like halo 2 as much as one, is that they preordered it and spent all that time waiting, imagining what it was going to be like, picturing the perfect game. Then, when it came out and didn't match their dream, they felt betrayed and dissapointed. That's my story anyway, Im still a die hard Halo 1 fan.

I don't think they should make a halo 1 that goes online, it would be stupid. Mabey they shoulda released it like a few months before halo2 came out, but now that halo 2 is out, soon all the glitchs will be fixed, some new levels, and everyone will be happy again.

DUH!!! That's why they would have to do a little reworking. Just like they farmed out Halo to Gearbox to make the PC version, they can farm it out to another company to make an XBox Live version.

halo 2 would be a great game if it was not called halo 2. halo ce cannot be beat therefore no sequel bungie ever makes will be better. without the comparison to halo ce, halo 2 would be great. that settles that

they should most definitely make an online halo ce since lag through xbc (xbox connect for those who dont know it) is annoying. sure thry would have to change the code but it would be worth it. they wouldnt have to worry about the campaign after all since it would be a purely multiplayer game.

oh and by the way. the 4 people who asked what is halo should be shot on sight. that is all

halo 1 was better, took actual skill.

halo 2 is about who spawns where and which team has better weapons.

Tru dat! That is one of the reasons I was disappointed with the Halo 2 clips. I think one of the reasons people had such expectations was because of the trailers and commercials. I suppose Bungie made it look so cool because if they showed the actual truth about going to another Halo then not as many people would have bought the product. Fortunately, they did not lie about the main features of the actual gameplay.

I like halo1 so much more than halo2 but without the online component it gets old because i am tired of playing my brothers and friends so i play halo2 more often.

i hear what alot of you are saying about halo1 being better then halo2 i mean i was disapointed about a few things like in halo 2 it seems as if they took the most powerful weapons in the first halo and turned them in to sub par wepons(almost crap weapons) for example the pistol, shotgun, and sniper for me dont have as much kick as they used to especially the pistol. but overall i think halo 2 doesnt deserved to be craped becasu eof a few minor things. the game deserves some appreciation and i know what alot of you are thinking oh hes is some big halo 2 fanatic but thats not true i am a diehard halo 1 fan but that does not mean i have to hate halo 2 because of that.

Wow!!! Mostly everyone here is crying about the Pistol! If the Pistol was as powerful as it was in Halo 1 then why the hell would they make any other weapon if you're just going to use it because its all powerful? Would you pick up a Battle Rifle if you could use the Pistol from Halo 1, I'm pretty sure that Bungie wants you to pick the Battle Rifle... I mean... thats why they made the magnum right? If the Pistol was still around in Halo 2, who would ever duel wield stupid SMG's? Everyone would have a double pistol killing people in seconds and half of the entire weapons in the game wouldn't be used... If you like Halo 1 more then Halo 2, yay!! You should play it on XBC like the rest of us did before Halo 2 came out... honestly though, I got sick of XBC and it's funky lag way before H2 came out so when I got to play on Live it was a fresh relief. I hate when people complain about a good thing.

Watch, someones going to say I hate Halo 1 or something... because everytime I tell someone to stop crying about Halo 1 and how most people perfer it better then Halo 2 simply because a 2 inch weapon... that means that I hate Halo 1. Halo was the very first game I got for my xbox... I played it over a friends house and it was the reason I got an xbox in the first place. So just because I'm telling you to suck it up and move on doesn't mean that I hate it. The only thing that I really wish Halo 2 had is Xbox Live Co-Op... I'm pretty sure alot of people would stop complaining if you could have 5 people online playing The Great Journey on Legendary. That and I really don't play matchmaking anymore because of people standbying... I'm just a 14 on Team Slayer and I've gotten standbyed the last 3 times I've played Slayer or Skirmish. I think that is a drawback, but with any game there will be cheaters and glitchers. It's a given.

Also, it does take skill to be good in Halo 2... most people who say there doesn't take any skill, well I think if you take a look at their level you might put 2 and 2 together. =\

Come on guys, grow a brain! They had to tone down the older weapons because of duel wielding! Hello? Didn't anyone think of that? You guys are so stuck up on Halo 1 I don't even think you thought about actually holding a weapon in your left hand aswell. If you play matchmaking again try either one of these combos:
Duelwield: Plasma Rifle, SMG.
Duelwield: Magnum, SMG.
Duelwield: Magnum, Plasma Pistol.
Duelwield: Plasma Pistol, Battle Rifle.
or just try to grab a rocket launcher and blow someone up.

It's not that hard... 3 shots to the head on halo 1 with a Pistol... 1 Shot from a plasma pistol and another from a magnum gets the job done in Halo 2... It's called Duel Wielding people, try to think on your feet alittle.
