Subject: i just played through halo ce again, its better than i remembered...

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

i always knew halo ce was awesome. but recently i played through halo ce again, and found that the campaign completely destroys the halo 3 one! is there any reason why bungie made the halo 3 campaign the way it is? is there a reason why after 7 years their games aren't as fun?

I don't know. I suppose the almighty "Classics are always better than the newest of the same title name" rule applies.

Well, the gameplay is what made this game great, and the gameplay is an absolute difference in the two games.

Agreed the gameplay in Halo CE couldn't of been better.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Halo 1 is the best, it has the best storyline, the most fun campaign to play and the best multiplayer. All it needs is XBL and it needs to let us connect 16 Xbox's instead of only 4.

yea it was easily the most enjoyable in my book, it's too bad that many of my friends don't like to play through it anymore due to the graphics. since we've pretty much all moved to HD (steady income FTW) some of them really feel the graphics are dated. i still love that game.

It's the same with my friends. Everyone wants good graphics. I don't care about graphics at all, it's about the gameplay.

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

I am curently off work due to a broken foot and this gives me the perfect excuse to lie in bed with some food and a drink and give Halo CE another bashing!

Yes it is as good as we remember especially levels such as Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals. It always will stay as one of the leading FPS....I am so glad when you look at the quality of the posts in this forum compared to the Halo 3 forum and you realise how lucky Halo CE is by not having it opened up to XBL...

Halo: CE for the Xbox was really good. I beat it 8 times already as I only have two Xbox(s) stacked on one-another. No, I don't have an Xbox 360, PS3, nor a Nintendo Wii, mainly because I like playing my Xbox, Saga, and Nintendo 64 a lot. (I'm an old gamer)

Halo: CE would be nice to beat once again. I think you may-have just inspired me to play it again, as I love it so much. Lol, good job!

Agreed. I still love halo ce's graphics anyway. I think it has the best story, enemies, weapons, maps, music, gameplay, characters, everything!

But halo 2 also has alot of good memeries.

I think with halo 3 they were just forced to have a huge team and to have all kinds of stuff that they really didn't need. They added tons of weapons, but halo ce's armory was fine. Simple and perfectly ballanced. I think they got corrupted by too many new ideas, not that any of them were bad, but they made them stray off course.

Halo: CE had very good graphics and was very good at friendly gameplay. Halo: CE still does have good graphics for me, (since I play it all the time) and the fact that you can have so many abilities in that PC game. I am old-school gamer, that's why.

Halo 2, didn't really have good memories for me though.

I have to agree there. The Campaign really didn't do much for me(bleh), and I never got a chance to play over X-Box Live. There really wasn't a lot that appealed to me, as the only way I got to play was LAN, and skill only matters if you're obsessed. Otherwise, they did a really, really good job of flattening the playing field to prairies and towers.

Yeah, they did do a good job and flattening maps and such, but I myself never got to play the game over XBL Connection either, so I never experienced that said.

In all, LAN was mainly it for me too.

I would agree and disagree on parts of this (although it is an opinion) I agree with the Halo CE comments, I am too an old school gamer (two decades worth!) however in realtion to Halo 2 I had some good memories, for example I still rate the first three levels of Halo 2 "Cairo Station" "Outskirts" and "Metropolis" (I think thats the names?) as some of the best in the Halo trilogy....then it went a bit pear shaped and the tempo of the game started to stutter.

Halo CE's tempo was consistent throughtout and is still a buzz to pick and play today and I feel out of the three titles it still has more staying power than the others and has more chance of being replayed than Halo 2 and 3.

Halo: CE was epic for its time. Bungie has just improved everything on their journey to Halo 3. I am playing through it as well, and it is still one the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

  • 12.01.2008 6:20 AM PDT

Unfortunately, Halo: CE is not widely known enough by all the players of the latter two games for the majority to consider playing.

True and it's hard for people who play Halo CE after the majority of their time was spent on Halo 2 and 3....they feel its a step down,

Yeah, exactly. If you are used to playing Halo 2 and Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. It is going to feel odd when trying to play Halo: CE because people either convinced you to, or you just felt like playing an older game.

That is why Halo: CE doesn't have that many gamers playing it, they just never want to go donw a step on video-games. As of me, all I play is old video-games.

It’s all cyclical...

That is a very true point. Also, as stated above the game play mechanics are very different. there is such a different feel to the weaponry, the way in which Chief moves and the kills.
Halo CE was revolutionary and holds up to the test of time.

I wouldn't say revolutionary (as Goldeneye on N64 has that honour) I would say its more evolution (great pun on Combat Evolved...do you get it?.....errr) as it picks the best parts out of FPS's and really evolves them and polishes them to such a high degree that you sometimes wonder where did all of those hours go? - it keeps you hooked.

I have been playing this game again also. It's still great fun to play.
