433. That feeling when you enter the tunnels on The Silent Cartographer, knowing there's a zealot with a sword hanging out in there somewhere. Then forgetting about it on the way up only to turn a corner and see it standing a foot away from you.


Priceless.
After you faced them once, they lost their flair. Probably one of the easiest enemies in the game, your melee has a longer range than his sword.

In other words, that excitement is only there the first time around.

451. Trying SO hard to steal the banshee on the Control Room.

452. Rocket Ammo Boxes.

453. Marines that you actually wanted to save. Anybody else tried to save all the marines on 343 Guilty Spark, inside and outside the facility?

  • 04.01.2009 9:26 AM PDT

I do that every time.

I can sometimes save one inside, and aaaalmost saved two. Outside, I think once only two of them died on me, as I got them to wait at the start and activate the ambush myself.

I am afraid I go into a psychotic episode and leave no survivors....

30. This is a huge one which I only just remembered. Blood spurts when you meleed dead enemies. Halo 2 and 3 you have to shoot them. Surely I wasn't the only one who spent mintues painting an area of floor with grunt or elite blood. I miss that.

same that was fun as

3. Ice physics.


Dam this is the one thing I missed the most. Trying to pick up your flag guy or a teammate and the slighest bit of movement BETRAYAL.
Good times.

Also personally we tried to save all the marines on 343 guilty spark it was a blast especially in Co-Op.

455.) The intensity and mystery behind the entire storyline. Made everything a lot better.

456) Clean, functional weapon set.

Every weapon had a distinct role, look and feel to it. All of them were useful. Now the game is cluttered up with two and sometimes even three different versions of the same weapon. Do we really need an assault rifle AND a plasma rifle AND a spiker AND an SMG, all of which function very similar to each other with slight cosmetic and damage dealing properties?

I remember the day when the AR and the PR were two very different weapons you used in different situations to accomplish different things. Now it's pretty much "point, spray".

Yeah, I've been saying this for a while. It's really too bad the game got dumbed down so much.

Yes yes yes.

I also miss the unique map designs.

Dr. Gelato, MD.

The definitive vocalizing theme that's almost been totally forgotten in H3. Yeah, the new piano and string pieces are nice, and that Bungie refined it and almost buried in the ground it in H2, but still. Don't leave it hangin'.

Also, the fact that you could fire the cannon AND the turret on the tank, even though in H:CE the turret was more of a spray gun than anything.

And, the grunts were less threatening. Seriously. I actually felt bad at times knowing that I slayed something that could be consider "Cute". But that's just me.

I just want the community back, the community I knew back during Halo:CE.

That's all I want, and I took them for granite.


This is definetly number one. I tried to play Halo 3 on xbox live, I really did try.

488) Simple options in multiplayer.

When I play H3 (and to some extent, H2) with friends and they all want something different (BR or AR starts? MLG or Normal settings? What map variants?) and we always tick someone off.

When we LAN H:CE, the lack of options keeps everything flowing and everyone is happy. No-one argues about this or that, we just play.
