Hey,

How did your strategies change from the first Halo to the second, or did they not change at all? Have you noticed differences in the type of people you find in your online games from the first to the second?

In Halo 1 I didnt have to have the sniper/rockets/sword to have a chance at survival. Any weapon would work. Also, you can duck faster in Halo 1 which helps with straffing techniques. As for the people, all the people that I have met with Halo 1 dont use racial slurs and very rarely cuss. Of course there are the times when it gets heated and cussing is somewhat common, but nothing like Halo 2 on L!VE.

I used and STILL use the same strategy for Halo 2 as I did for Halo: Only Human weapons (when the level allows it) and plasma and frag grenades.

I liked Covenant weapons in 1 because they stunned. In 2 they just hit you. lol. I found I use more frags in 1 than 2 and more stickies in 2 than 1. Never really thought about it til you mentioned it....

My stratagies haven't changed significantly from Halo 1 to Halo 2. The most significant changes in my game play are that I use the plasma rifle more and the human pistol less. Even though the Halo 1 plasma rifle had the useful stun effect, the plasma rifle is much more potent now that it can be dual wielded with an smg or human pistol. Obviously, the human pistol is slightly less potent on its own in Halo 2, so I don't use it as often.

I use more Stickers in 2, but I'm still loyal to Human weapons.
