Alright, I didn't read what was said, so sorry if this is somethign already stated.
Halo CE is defnitely better than Halo 3 and is probably the best xbox game of all time. Halo CE proved that shooters can be successful on a console. It has opened the doors for so many other games to come, thoug they will NEVER be as great as Halo CE.
Halo 3 definitely has it's flaws, but it's still a good game, just not at all revolutionary. Sure it has online functionality but there's a TON of flaws in it, and we all know nothing beats a drunken Halo CE LAN. Nothing.
Well obviously there wouldn't be a 3 without a 1, but that's so true in the fact that Halo CE SINGLEHANDEDLY kept the Xbox relevenat, and allowed Bungie to continue to what they are today. They know as well as anyone, Halo is their gem, their source and their shield.
EDIT - Before you add the Goldeneye argument, I agree, it was great. But there hasn't been anything like it for a while.
Lol I was actually about to say that Goldeneye proved that an FPS would work on a console. In fact, most of the 007 games on the N64 were pretty good. Some of them even had vehicle combat which wouldn't be seen again until Halo 1. But yeah, I agree that Halo 1 was a revolutionary game on the xbox, but that doesn't automatically make it the best. Just because something is first doesn't always mean that any sequel that comes later will be terrible.
Oh and it's not Halo 1 that's Microsoft's gem. It's the Halo Series that's their gem, specifically the most recent game because that's the game that will make the most money,.
Uh... no. Halo 1 is their gem. Their diamond in the rough. Without Halo 1, there's a damn good chance the first Xbox would have failed. But as a company does, Bungie and Microsoft struck while the iron was hot and started work on sequels. It's just good business. They knew with a game that's popular enough to sell consoles, a sequel would be a great thing to have.
Nobody's trying to change your opinion about the series. That's the point of a forum, the guy's asking which you think is better. You say Halo 3... okay. But your argument as to why is bull-blam!-.
You say in the message that I quoted:
"But yeah, I agree that Halo 1 was a revolutionary game on the xbox, but that doesn't automatically make it the best."
Well, I know that Halo 3 has good online multiplayer, more weapons, more enemies, new maps, and has monkey men on Sierra 117. But that doesn't make it the best.
By your argument, just because it's new... it's the best.
Tell that to Zelda fans. You'll get the same answer. I'm willing to bet 9 out of 10 Zelda fans consider Ocarina of time to be the best Zelda game ever. Not Wind Waker or Twilight Princess.
hmmm, i have to agree with you on the Zelda games. Ocarina of Time is the best. But that doesn't apply to the Halo Series for me. The new zelda games today are pretty much the same as the old ones except they have different bosses and missions. So not many new features were added to the new games and still no multiplayer. Now if Halo 3 was the exact same as Halo 1 in terms of features but slightly different in gameplay, then I probably would like Halo 1 better. Sometimes a games features can really make a huge difference.
Take Fable 2 for example. If you ask fans of Fable Series, the majority will probably say Fable 2 is better. Why? More features and yes a new story. But the new features are why Fable 2 beat Fable 1. Same goes for Gears of War 2. New features. Why can't the same apply for Halo 3? Halo 3 is all about new features.
