- Retired Halo player that came back after a couple of patches so that modding would stop, but quickly realised people don't like staying on maps anymore, rather hide up top when in the lead. I'll get you all, even though I don't superjump.
- Also hate people that double shot, because without it they lose the confrontations.

So lets see, I've been playing Halo since....well it came out. I remember the good old days when I was about 12-13 use to play halo 4 hours a day. It was a religion to play halo. Everyone remember the falls of death? Oooo I do, i died lots until I got the trick. Moreover, anyone remember the good old warthog launching? Up on top of silent cartographer and driving around the island like a maniac? Going into the water and seeing how far you could go? See those were the good old days.
Another fun part was doing the game over and over again on legendary unaware that there was a tactic much easier than pure lead on legendary, but the fun was spraying lead into opponents until the dropped. I can't recall how many times I finished halo and redid it without getting bored.
A couple of years later came halo 2 and it also introduced me to Xbox live and I'm guessing the countless hours of gaming on Halo CE helped get an edge over my opponents in my onslaught against newcomers to the halo series and other fans of it. I remember being recruited by S2i, we loved big team. We owned big team. That is until mods started occurring online, I still remember the first day I saw one....was my day back after my internet had crashed for a 1 month or so, I sucked really bad, but when I saw a hog flying in the air my jaw dropped in amazement and all I could say is...hHhhhhhaaaaaaaccccckssssssss. The funny part was when someone was speeding and came full tilt towards me, I just pressed B and the guy flying right through me. Once against I was amazed and left with a self-explanatory conclusion that speed + melee to face = pwnt. But I guess I stopped playing...Came back 2 months later and guess what NEW EXPLOITS, I could only shrug and put my head down every time I was doubleshot and then in post-game kids would be screaming out I KILLED YOU, I"M BETTER THAN YOU, YOU HAVE NO SKILL!
All I could say was no really? You need to exploit a good game because you were never good at it? Does your score matter that much? Well apparently it did and it worked its way to halo 3.
I don't know if lots of you have played online games but if any of you have played counter-strike, do you know the exploit behind crouch walking other than no sound(which has been fixed recently). Well it was messing up your hitboxes. Now I know there must have been debated on this issue on the halo forums, but I haven't had much time to look into it. So When i'm playing Halo 3 and seeing kids jump around the screen for no apparent reason other than jumping around while fighting, it kinda clicked to me, noooooooo not this game too. And I have come to the conclusion that yes this game too.
See most people would say, go with the flow. Either you can't shoot people, or your just bad at jumping. Welllllll no, I can shoot and I can jump alot. But I don't see why so many people feel the need to do so in battles where as KEEPING IT REAL. I know this was even done in halo 2, but halo 2 seemed to have better reg ( if ur were host lol). But it seems that in halo 3, whether your host or not, if people are jumping around, you ain't gonna reg sheeeet yo. Which lead me to my next point.....
Halo CE was a man's game you see. There was no inclines or walls to hide behind. It was either you fight like a man or you die like one. But seems like adding all these little edges, hiding spots, corners and etc, Halo lost its all out epic FPS title (for me that is). It's always so disppointing playing a game just to know that the other team is hiding because they are in the lead, or fighting someone just to see him run off from you when he gets the chance. I'm like are you serious? This ain't Tag son this is Halo, come back here and die like a man. And I feel that this came alot from Halo 2, where super jumping became popular and lead to people hiding on top of maps, that was so horrid, what kind of skilled strategy is that?
Sooooo there are my rants and complaints about both games after Halo CE. Whether you like it or not, too bad. Get good and stay in the ring; as russell peters would put it: Be a man!
I'de like to have feedback, does anyone feel that halo 2-3 were better( other than introducing online play)
