Halo 1 will always be my favorite game. It outclasses H2 and H3 in every possible way, with the obvious exception of graphics. Playing on Gamespy and XBC was so much better than Live.

Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

I went and played som CE a while ago and WOW! The priceless rolling hills and warthog trails on Halo, the bottomless shaft of the Silent Cartographer, the desperation of being attacked by hundreds of infection forms on 343 Guilty Spark, and the adrenaline rush right before running to the finish on The Maw.

That is a great game indeed.

Indeed.

I feel you. It was so awesome, going back on the Xbox and my PC playing Halo and Halo CE. I've been playing a lot of Halo 2 XBL. Matches are pretty quick to find. Halo 2 was so much better than Halo 3, but Halo 1 blew both of them into oblivion.

All my opinion.

Posted by: canman88
In the week leading up to Bungie day this year, I went and played through all three games back to back.

Playing CE again was amazing. Just the memories it brings back of first booting up the black box and jumping into the campaign mode, stumbling around as your gather your bearings in this new environment.

Looking back on it now after almost seven years (for me), it's incredible to see just how far the game has come, and where it all started. Remembering how the Elites used to look, with their heads held high above their shoulders, and the pistol that could take out a Banshee with just a few shots.

The loading screen with the choir is simply epic.

i think everyone that has played halo for at least 2 years feels the same way

man whats your prob? they brought back the halo CE pistol in halo 3
halo 2 had a totally different pistol, just like a moderen one, if you miss it so
much go play halo 3 or halo CE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But yea your right halo CE is a good game, but you cant even jump on a box!
So I guess its OK, except for the minor things. It does bring back memories.
But you gotta give Bungie credit for all 5 games. (the other 2 are Halo wars and Halo 3 ODST XD) lol


Blasphemy.
The Halo CE pistol only exists in Halo CE.
The pistol in Halo 3 has the same name, but certainly not the zoom nor the power and above all not the feel of the CE pistol. So, no, you can't just go play Halo 3 or CE to use it. You have to play CE.

My friend and I decided to beat the first Halo in one day and had a blast. Taking Keyes's pistol, rounding up survivors, sniping, taking the beach, assaulting the control room, watching Jenkins's helmet cam, taking a shotgun to the flood, destroying the pulse generators, 3 way battles, and a warthog run to remember. That is Halo.

Halo is not apes who can withstand 50lbs of lead in the face one day and then die with 5 shots the next.

  • 01.31.2009 8:34 PM PDT

There you go. That's a great way to sum it up. That last sentence.

I didn't appreciate how well made the game was at the time, but after replaying the Halo CE campaign I have actually enjoyed that more then the recent two campaigns in the Halo series. Halo CE is an awesome game.

Sure Halo CE was fun, and yes it revolutionized the gaming FPS genre, but Halo 3 still powns way more. Better AI (barely), incredibly good graphics, amazing physics engine, more balanced weapons (no thanks to the BR), incredible sandbox environment! Vehicles that are actually fun to drive! No endless swarms of copied and pasted enemies and hallways! Halo 3 is just overall a more epic release than Halo CE or 2!

Besides, whenever I try to play Halo CE on the computer, there is way to much lag to do anything!

  • 02.01.2009 7:16 AM PDT

The lag is because there is no netcode in this game. It came out before X-Box Live.

Halo 3 might seem more EPIC, but underneath all the weapons and "balance", it's still bland outside the popularity. Campaign gets old, and the weapons are balanced, sure, but they don't all have their own niche. Some are just pointless. Physics is more advanced, but not as fun to jump with. Plus there's Bumper Cars.

  • 02.02.2009 8:33 AM PDT

It's not the fall that breaks you, It's the sudden Stop.

I dont agree with every thing, we all have opinions.

So i'm gonna sum it up like this, if you dont agree, your problem....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, Halo is awesome, wether its CE, 2 , or 3, and future halos to come. They all pown almost all he games, ALMOST, but they are the top on my list...........

I love Halo because of the sheer scale of it all. You aren't forced to go in a set path. You can sneak behind a Wraith and blow it to shreds, or take it head-on. Same goes for Elites, Grunts, Jackals, ect. With Halo 2 I felt limited. I'd run into set paths which really took away the element of surprise.

I also hate Halo 2's campaign. The multiplayer is great, but the campaign can rot in hell for all care. Not a fan of how it looks either. In my eyes, Halo 1 has both a better campaign and graphics. Just recently I decided to give Two Betrayals another go and found the entire level to be beautiful.

Halo CE is, and always will be an epic in the gaming industry. It started a revolution, and innovated most games out today. Halo's success was/is phenomonal.

Gah, part of me wants to shoot this kid.

First of all, what you said about CE earlier is soooo wrong.

Second of all, Bungie doesn't work with Microsoft, and Ensemble got disbanded after Halo Wars went gold. Bungie never even had anything to do with the development of Halo Wars other than the storyline.

Third, who says "I'm bored" on a forum?

Agreed ^



Anyway this game is still one of my favorites. Halo 2 was nowhere close and Halo 3 was decent. I played Blood Gulch for hours on end with buddies and had 8 player local matches.
I even like the original marine armor more than the new ones.

I never heard about Halo until one day at a friends, where it was a great surprise.

After reading this a second time, I think it is time to go play some Halo 1.

Why would you want a pistol that is as strong as a BR.

Because the pistol is much cooler than the BR. Putting an enemy down with a single shot is just much more satisfying than a single burst. Sure the pistol having the abilities that it has is corny, but it is awesome and fun.

  • 02.16.2009 11:44 AM PDT

True enough. And it frees up space for more ammunition. You never really get enough in Halo 2 or Halo 3.
