I just went back and started to play... it seems stale.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it, but it is just different. I'm used to Halo 3 and, now, Halo: CE is just weird...
Try it, play Halo 3 for a while, then switch back to Halo:CE.
It's kind of sad that such a great game is worn down to nothing.
Do you guys agree?

Just message me on live.

Put your flame-retardant suit on before it's too late!

I find Halo: CE's experiance to have more depth actually. It's not as linear as Halo 3 (which can be a problem) despite less materials. It also has that "first" ouch. You see that with many series, they have to rush production and they also run out of ideas. Playing Halo 3 after playing Halo: CE is just as strange.

I don't think CE can lose touch as it being the first game. If anything, Halo 3 has lost touch with the original.

I very much disagree, Halo 1 is still much more fun than Halo 3. I still host Halo 1 LAN parties and they are amazing.

It's really very basic and simple. That's the brilliance of the game and what Bungie lost with 2 and 3.

That assumes either of the sequels were in touch in the first place.

After being on Halo 3 since its release, a sudden step back to Halo: CE during the two weeks of having my 'box repaired, I managed to get back into it fully. It's a shame that afterwards, I was useless at Halo 3.

LOL.

It's harder making the transition from CE to 3 IMHO. You get used to playing tactically in CE, making conscious decisions to maintain your health while doing the most damage ad outmaneuvering the other team. In Halo 3, all that gets tossed out the window like an ex's bowling trophy, and I get pwned because I try and use tactics.

I mean I go in and... a rocket doesn't kill an elite in one shot? It just seems weird now.

You are obviously playing on legendary, aren't you? On Halo 1 on legendary you can't just kill everything you see, you have to use tactics and be able to use the environment to your advantage.

Exactly. A Rocket will at minimum stun an Elite. you use that to your advantage, and either pull out a pistol or shotgun, chuck a 'nade on it, or rush in and give it a good wallop. This game has the lately MIA depth.

You're right. I prefer Halo 2 and 3's physics and MP overall, but CE definitely had it's strong points.

What's with all the H3 bashing from you, chikin? It may not be as tactically based as CE, but it's not pure luck like you're describing it as. Maybe you just mixed up Halo 3 with COD4.

I have to disagree, the transition from Halo 3, if that's the first of the series you have picked up, to Halo CE is a far bigger "drop" and contributes to a lot of accidental snobbery "itz graffix don't look az good innit"

I haven't got any major issue with Halo 3, except for aspects of the community (MLG fanboy-ism and the BR snobs) its that I feel Halo 3, and in a lot of ways Halo 2, has detracted from what made Halo CE so awesome

Yeah, and you guys are missing what I'm saying... on Heroic and Legendary, a Rocket would kill a Brute in one shot. Now in Halo: CE , it doesn't. I'm comparing the two games so that you guys get ideas of how the transition is pretty weird, but obviously, you guys aren't understanding.
And, no, it doesn't even matter if it was Legendary, it's still a difference.

Shouldn't it be: a rocket did not kill an Elite in Halo CE and now it kills a full grown Brute?

Throughout games and their sequels you will find varying degrees of "why is this different?" it is just one of those things....I understand what you are saying but I guess it is all down to balance ?

Same sort of thing is visible with the Halo Magnum, it has never really stayed the same throughout its several versions, perhaps this is to compensate for other weapons and not duplicate attributes of others

His point is, the transition is difficult. Jeez guys.

Last time I went back to Halo: CE it was awesome. It has better maps, better weapons, a better health system, fall damage, better CTF in almost every way... I could go on for awhile. Playing Halo 3 is the result of settling. I play it because I have no better alternative for online play. Halo 3 is built on compromise, because it strives for mainstream appeal.

In theory, Halo 3 has more variety, but all of Halo 3's options are inferior to Halo: CE. I've spent a decent amount of time trying to tweak Halo 3 options to make it feel more like Halo: CE, but none of the options truly allow a Halo: CE feel. I think MLG settings are some of the best in that regard, but I've finally just accepted Halo 3 as the inferior game that it is. It has inferior gameplay, and it has inferior maps to match. No amount of tweaking will change that.

Amen, I have actually played trough Halo CE last week entirely. And It felt very much like it did the first time. The AI and level design just keeps amazing me every single time (ever after ten years)

What I did notice is that (after such a long time) I suck at halo CE. I used to be able to plow trough hordes of elites on legendary by my self lol. I was god haha, not I find it hard to kill only a couple :D

Yep, Halo:CE LAN Parties = Awesome on a scale that is unreadable

Halo 3 just cannot compete with that, I know you can still system link etc, but for me it's not the same.....:(

Halo has lost its way, but its hard to put in words....its kinda like your girlfriend getting a new hair cut,....you love her because you do...but the new look doesn't suit her and you get the feeling it just isn't quite right...also you cannot help but think "hmmm I wish she had kept it the way it was and just had a trim instead"

Strangest analogy yet?
