Halo CE had a fast paced gameplay, simplistic story, decent gameplay, it also had some nice, wide environments, it also had some good music.

The thing thst bugged me the most, was the reuse of levels, the instant death of touching a moving vehicle, the control and gravity of warthogs and ghosts, and the health system, IMO, the game itself is a bit overrated.

Halo 2, on the other hand, had a better story, some nice additions, and elements, compared to CE, along with its notable negatives, notably the overpowered plasma pistol, and the massive aim assist.

While the "other" negatives, like glitches are actually a subject that recieves a lot of love and hatred, the only negatives that I hate the most, is the cut levels, enemies, and weapons, particulary the flame thrower, the cut Covenant Capital Ship level, along with the mark of shame weapon, besides that, their are some great things in this game, particulary the Arbiters story, the incredible music, and the wide variety of weapons to suit your style, along with the hidden skulls to find and alter your gameplay with.

Besides all these things, the multiplayer, from what I heard, really kick-started a new legacy that bungie envisioned since they made Halo CE.

While I prefer Halo 2, I play both games, because they are fun FPS games.

You could play Halo1 online on the xbox via some website i can't remember the name of. True there was no voice chat and most of the players were French, but it was still Halo1 on the xbox and online. Good days..

Oh and Halo1 because it had a better campaign. SIlent Cartographer, need i say any more?

Halo: Combat Evolved, but this is the Halo 2 thread so I'd naturally expect more votes for H2. ~Cm

I guess I'm alone here, but, I never saw the big deal with Cartographer. Great level, yes, but, compared to Two Betrayals, T & R...just didn't have the same go. If I were granted only one level from the series to play...would have to be Outskirts. Perfection.

I would have to say H2, mainly because more wep's and longer storyline, and elite character campaign and online choice. But one of the main reasons I keep Halo CE and am waiting for ODST (even though I dont have a 360) is the pistol with scope. No more explaination.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

Halo 2 is the better game, hands down. The gameplay is far more challenging, the campaign and stoy are incredible, the multiplayer absolutely trumps Halo 1 (and Halo 3, for that matter). In addition, Halo 2 features the series' best soundtrack and nobody can deny that playing as the Arbiter is hardcore bad-ass. Halo 1 is a great game, don't get me wrong, but Halo 2 absolutely destroys it in every possible way.

Surely not. It's a tough choice, but I'd have to pick either Cairo Station because it's such a challenge, or Metropolis because the entire level screams epic from start to finish.

I'd say overall, Halo CE for campaign. But I did love being arby.

Obviously Halo 2 for Multiplayer, best of the series for it.

Halo CE had an epicness thanks to it being so much better than any FPS before it, that magical quality gave me great feelings when I first booted up my xbox.

In terms of replayability, I'd say Halo 2. So that's what I'll vote for.
