Multiplayer was the best in all the games, by far.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

The inherent mystery in CE is what made it so appealing, by the time Halo 3 rolled around you expected the Flood, the Covenant types, and the story to play out as it did.

Nothing can match the plot twist that was 343 Guilty Spark.

I know something that can!

In Halo 3, you had to destroy the engines of the crashed Floodship in Voi. Then 343 Guilty Spark showed up and everyone completely forgot and glassed the place instead.

They are all great games.

Halo:CE was an all new type of fps. H2 & H3 were designed to bring fans more of the killer experience.

Developing and playing maps and stuff is fun but there simply isn't enough frequent users to play with online.

How is multiplayer great in Halo 1? On the Xbox it only had 4 player splitscreen unless you do system link. On the PC, multiplayer was sooo limited, it was laggy, and a lot of people hacked the game. The graphics in Halo 1 aren't that great anymore. Plus, the weapons were all imbalanced.

Halo 3 is the best Halo game so far. It's multiplayer is amazing. No other game on the Xbox 360 has a multiplayer like Halo 3. In Halo 3, it has a very good matchmaking system. It also has a Forge Mode Map Editor which you can use to build maps with up to 8 of your friends. Halo 3's campaign also allows for 4 player co-op. Same with the Theater Mode which lets you watch your film clips with up to 4 people.

Now I have no doubt that eventually there will be another Halo game that will surpass Halo 3. I don't think Halo 3: ODST will surpass Halo 3 because it's only an expansion. But I do believe that Halo: Reach will become the best Halo game when it comes out. I usually don't stick around with old games. I tend to move on to newer better games.

Who wants to bet this guy didn't get into Halo until AFTER playing Halo 2?

Seriously... they can upgrade the graphics and add new enemies all they want. There will never be another Halo 1. Halo 1 was a mixed bag of the best things you could possibly put together into a single gaming experience. The gameplay was perfect, the music was spot-on and helped move along the amazing plot. The graphics were great at the time and I've yet to see another game with the same visual style. The enemies were unique instead of being the same World War 2 -blam!- or weird tentacle ridden Star Wars clones. They had the perfect balance of serious story telling mixed with humor. Not to mention a plot twist that if you didn't know about beforehand, I can GUARANTEE you didn't see coming.

I seriously consider Halo 1 to be the best game ever released on the Xbox. Period.

Just because a game has some new features and updated graphics doesn't mean it's "better". You also can't say a game is better simply because it has online multiplayer. That's like saying a German Shepard is better than a Doberman because it's tail is longer.

Some people like longer tails...

On the Xbox, Halo 2 is the best. But on the Xbox 360 Halo 3 is the best. Halo 1 had its time to shine but now it's over and Halo 3 is in the spotlight. The world likes Halo 3 better. Halo 3 sold more copies than either of the Halo games. It even broke Halo 2's record in one night.

Halo 3 even has higher ratings than Halo 1 had. Statistics show that the majority of Xbox Live players prefer Halo 3 over any other Halo game thus far. Don't argue with the stats because they're always right unless you have your own stats to counter them.

Guess what? More people went to see Episode 5 than Episode 4. Do you know how this is? It's called spreading the word. One guy says "Hey, Halo 3 is coming out... Halo 2 was AWESOME" and all of the sudden, a guy who has never heard of Halo goes out and buys Halo 3.

Arguing stats is stupid. More people enjoy Halo 3's online multiplayer over Halo 1's because (GASP!) Halo 1 didn't HAVE online multiplayer. Unless you count the PC version but that's not really applicable because not everyone who played Halo 1 also bought the PC version. The same thing applies to your sales figures. When a game is extremely popular, you can bet that the sequel will be even more popular based on sale records. It's because ten people play Halo 1... and when they hear of a sequel, they talk about how awesome it's going to be to all of their friends. It's why sequels will ALWAYS sell more than a new IP.

Just because a game is new doesn't mean it's the best. Just as a lot of people dislike sequels to movies, a lot of people dislike sequels to games. A developer can try to create new features for a game but sometimes they end up breaking down what they had in the first place.

As for ratings... I'm not even going to comment on how you're trying to prove your point based on someone else's opinions.

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,.

I think Halo CE is the best Halo and possibly the best FPS ever made.

Obviously there are massive differences between it and Halo 3, meaning you should never compare them directly, but if you think about it in context it was a massive massive achievement. I still play it and enjoy it as if it came out 6 months ago, the graphics still look good to me, the gameplay is still solid and surprising, the music is amazing and the story still hooks me.

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.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I think everyone on this forum is going to say CE was their favourite. It was the best. That's just how it is really. It was a great game and still is.
