It's much better if you forget everything you learn in Halo 2 & Halo 3.

There are improvements, and their are missing features comparing the games.

For instance:

-Plasma Rifle is effective
-Needler doesn't totally suck
-Grenades are useful
-Marines with Snipers are effective
-No dual-wielding

Custom game nights? Contests? Great staff? Active members? What are you waiting for, join The Human Military.

You havent really experienced Halo til you've played CE

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

There are actually noticable amounts of ladders!

The most frustrating aspect is that the game essentially mirrors itself once you get halfway through. The first half of the game will be fun to explore, the latter may get on your nerves as you're essentially running through backward variations of the previous levels.

They're still enjoyable, but the last time I played through the campaign I became extremely annoyed with them. I'm not sure why.

It's possible you're used to the "next-gen" graphics shine. That tends to happen.

It's really good and the plasma pistol owns lol. Night vision on the sniper in campaign is awesome too.

It rocks. I suppose part of the reason I love it so much is because of all the memories, so I don't know if my opinion counts, but whatever.

Just message me on live.

The download version has a lot of issues.

I don't understand why pepole thought the needler was useless in Halo: CE. I always used it as my primary weapon. It could kill most foes in 7-9 needles and had one of the best melee animations. Sure, the projectiles can miss, but that's why you lead the target and strafe.

Anybody else here a needler addict besides me?

CE is like winning the lotto, a nobel peace prize, the superbowl, and a chess game against Richard Reti.

Blackness Confirmed. You've got soul.

I just played it again today for some random reason. glad i did :)

The needler only sucked at Multiplayer. For campaign it was an excellent option against just about any enemy. They are great fun against Hunters. Against jackals they were a bit harder, but you could make them work if you timed it right.

Needler was awesome. I prefer not to use it against Flood, but it's absolutely great against Sentinels.

It was the best if u started off with it first, but because you played 2 and 3, it looses everything. Sorry, too late for you.

My favorite part of the game still is the last level, the warthog part where you have to drive through the ship and stuff. Just played that level today. Raced my friend to the longsword. I won. :) I think I have played the other levels too many times for them to be enjoyable, but other people will counter that I guess.

In campaign it is good, but in multiplayer people move too much, that and I can dodge nearly every needle that comes my way without too much trouble while gunning down the guy wielding the needler.

Go for it, but try not to judge Halo CE on its graphics, as it isnt as lovely looking as Halo 3 (for exmaple) gameplay wise its my fav though....

Buy it as a stand alone disc as I understand the download version has some bugs? Correct me if I am wrong chaps
