I agree. Apart from levels repeating themselves (due to the team only having a few months to design the levels), the campaign was thoroughly enjoyable. Elites > Brutes.

As a side note, I think the repeating environments really gave you a sense of isolation and a sense of purpose. I mean, there was a reason for all the repeats. Two Betrayals? Well, you just rescued Cortana and needed to high-tail it out of there! Keyes? The flood took him on the only docked ship in order to escape! Perfect sense. The Maw? Chief needed some serious nuclear explosives, where else better but the horse you rode in on?

I wouldn't say better, but I have more fun with it.

Can you believe it?

They are both great games. I prefer Halo 3's multiplayer over Halo: CE's and Halo: CE's campaign over Halo 3's. Halo: CE had better, more original levels while Halo 3 copyed them from the first two games.

WAY better. It just seems more Halo, Halo 3 and 2 campaigns seem too generic. I guess.
I just had way more fun with the first campaign.

I can''t tell if I enjoyed it more or I'm just trying to fit in, but yeah. The end of Halo made you feel like you did something, annihilated the Covenant armada and the Flood. In Halo 3 you destroy an orb. Sure, the orb was ancient and pivotal to the story, but an orb nonetheless. In Halo 1 you saved the galaxy and you knew it. Sure, it was cheesy, but it was done right.

I enjoyed both campaigns, but Halo 3 (and since I recently finished it, Fallout 3) disappointed fans in terms of ending gameplay sequences.

Definitely. The most epic piece of campaign I've ever played in any game

  • 02.28.2009 5:52 PM PDT

I'm the opposite. I absolutely love Halo 3's campaign. I don't play it for the gameplay, but for the experience, mostly for the music.

  • 02.28.2009 10:52 PM PDT

I like the graphics in Halo 3 better, but that's basically all I like more about it.

The gameplay and level design in this game were superb, leading me to question what they were doing during Halo 3's development. You have multiple approaches to most battles, and were usually not forced to go at it in a certain way.

If you don't agree, something is wrong with you, you are a shallow graphics whore, or you really really love 4 player co-op. There are very few exceptions to this.

*pff!*

Sorry, but I find that really humorous...but really true. They dumbed down the series soooooo much for mainstream gamers, and basically stretched the difficulty both ways to opposite poles.

Yeah.... Remember that ending when you beat The Maw on Legendary? You raced a Warthog through massive jumps, and mobs of enemies, and than an Elite hugged Johnson. :P

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

Elites > Brutes.


Would you have enjoyed Halo CE if the main enemy were Brutes ? I know its a bit of a funny question etc, but if you replaced the Brutes with Elites (halo 3) and the Elites with Brutes in Halo CE (bear with me) would we be saying that Halo 3 was more fun ? and Halo CE wasn't enjoyable?

I am playing Devil's advocate here, I know there is more to the campaign than the enemy types, but for me it makes a huge difference as I find Elites to be a much more entertaining enemy...

The Elites are more of a challenge to fight. They have recharging shields, which means they need to be finished off, quick, rather than taking potshots.

And nothing had recharging health; everything aside from Human Vehicles and Dropships were finite in damage resistance. A well-timed melee(no Lunging) felt satisfying, and behaved equally so.

Really?

I Love everything more in Halo Ce than Halo 3...
For me is 2 differents games...

Well, they are different games.

IMHO, the only things similar between CE and 2 & 3 are the names, the appearances, some enemies, and some weapons.

Wanna know why my username is so q.ueer? Cuz I was 17 when I made it. And I was a q.ueer at 17. Everyone is.

Two things.

1.)Wild Recon. Check it out.

2.) ODST 4th Battalion. Join it. Love it. Live it.

Halo CE's campaign rapes H3's. No contest.
