Don't take crap from anyone

For anyone that has every played Halo and doesn't answer this question to the tune of "Yes", my my, I feel sorry for your puny brain. You probably played all the games in the series and just fell for features and graphics and cosmetic flash. Geez, I can't believe some of the replies on here. General Heed? Seriously? You can't just take your own opinion as a true realism and stop relying on critics? For God sakes, get a hold of your dip-blam!- self.

A great example of this argument are the movies Inception and Fight Club. One must really be engaged into the movie to really have an understanding of how great the presentation actually was. Without the capability to interpret, you've lost all hope at enjoying some of the greatest experiences in life. I heard a friend of mine actually tell me how he hated the movies because they were "So stupid and he couldn't understand what was going on..." That is how I decode all the people choosing 3 over 1. Their absence of true intelligent interpretation is just baffling.

Now, to answer the question truthfully IMO.

H1CE was the best in terms of anything and everything. I would be playing it right now if I wasn't at work typing this message you are reading now. What most gamers look past is the experience and emotions the game gives you. The fact that you had fun and were really interested into the experience. The music is beautiful and really did add the vibe, without it, where would you be at in the middle of the AOTCR or the final drive through the Autumn. The graphics were amazing because of what Bungie's team did with the engine with what they had to work with at the time. The overall interaction between player and environment is something not matched by 90% of games today. When you went to play the game, whether with a friend on co-op or setting up TVs for a LAN party, you knew you were in for a treat. I felt like a kid during Christmas morning getting the most awesome presents ever. It grants you memories, and that is a sign in itself that it will always be an everlasting experience in which you remember all the small things making it truly the best game in the series.

H1CE,H2,ODST,H3.

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.


No. Halo CE was pure. The campaign never gets boring. New features in a game can make it better. However, sometimes newer games can't beat older ones. Experiencing Halo CE for the first time when I was 8 just made me fall in love with it. The story is epic and the multiplayer is great.

Simply with that little to offer, it still kicks Halo 3's arse because it was original.

Maybe that's why bungies taking a step back from the halo series because they want to make an IP thats original and mind blowing again.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Yeah, for the PC anyway. Its Multiplayer is really fun.
I rather play Halo PC online than Halo 3 online because Halo PC's multiplayer isn't as competitive as Halo 3's.
You can always have a laugh in Halo PC whereas in Halo 3 you usually can't with all the trash talking and -blam!-.

All the Halos are good games, but I prefer Halo PC...until Reach comes out.

  • 08.13.2010 2:54 PM PDT

Halo 1 is practically the only halo. The other games do not play anything like it. H2 and H3 are both slower paced and more vehicle oriented than Halo 1 is in terms of single player at least. The graphics are also very different. Halo had a distinct look that was apparent in the simple multiplayer maps that were always quite "clean" for lack of a better word. H2 and H3 both do not look very unique and seem to just try to beef up their graphics rather than make them stand out.

Besides who fired all the multiplayer level designers from H1? I mean can anyone seriously believe the same people that created such classics as Hang em High, Prisoner, Damnation, Chill Out, or even Blood Gulch brought us all the trash that H2 and H3 throw at us?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo CE was the core experience for my time with FPS games, but I have to give the top-spot to Halo 2 for myself.

I've explained a billion times why over the past 3 years, but Halo 2's story and soundtrack (and the unforgettable LAN parties) made it for me.

I have always thought that Halo Combat Evolved was the best Halo out of all of the other ones. This is because it had the best campaign, the best maps, and one of the best soundtracks!

Yes, for a variety of reasons:

Indestructable human vehicles
The Plot
The way the Flood are portrayed as zombies, not a disease (zombies are scarier than infections. Fact)
The cutscene in 343 Guilty Spark
The way each level played differently
The way the Library feels like a survival shooter

But, the most important reason...
Assault On the Control Room
'Nuff said.


I like Halo 3 for:

Forge Map Editor
Theater Mode
Fileshare
Online Matchmaking
Fighting and destroying Scarabs
How the Flood can infect dead bodies or even living people
More vehicles used
Better air vehicles and air battles
Better Graphics
4-Player Online Co-op
The final cutscenes
The double scarab battle on The Covenant
The cutscene at the end of "The Storm"
and the list goes on


amen!!

Sure is butthurt here. Can't stand people having different opinions than you? Get off the internet and head to your perfect fantasy world where everyone worships Halo 1.

Also, stop using the "better graphics = worse game" argument. You know it's not true.

This makes no sense. Most people like 1's story over, say, 2 because 1 is much easier to understand.

Never said I did. Never said I thought the other games weren't great either. Stop trying to shove words in my posts. If it offends you fine, but understand I never said stuff like that. I don't live in a world where everyone worships Halo 1 because I like the other games just as much. I don't try to put things over on others like peer pressure.

Never made this argument, I only said that they were falling for cosmetics rather than functionality. Plenty of solid games out there graphically and playability wise.

2's & 3's stories are easier to understand because if you ever had a bedtime story when you were younger, you know whats happening next.

1's story is harder to understand if you don't have any back story to the whole event. You actually need a vocabulary as well believe it or not. Wait a second though... They didn't have that large of a budget back then for this game....

Best of luck to you.

Halo: Combat Evolved revolutionized how FPS are played on consoles. They found the layout that works and have only progressed further with it with the sequels (though some of you would debate me on that point).

The first installment is what laid the foundation, but I can't pick a solid "best" because they all offer something different from each other. It's a wishy-washy answer, I know, but it is what it is.

Agreed. The sequels never came close to matching what Halo CE did. Even the multiplayer on the PC is a whole lot better than H3 on XBL.

John Howard=Yes, best Halo game in the series.

  • 08.22.2010 11:21 PM PDT

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Yep. Halo Reach will take it's place. It's said to have a better campaign, a multiplayer that is unbeatable, new features bigger, better than ever and more. Halo Reach will take it's place on the night it comes out.

No It's not. People are not stupid for having opinions.

  • 09.23.2010 2:21 AM PDT

Most definitely the best one, better than Reach, shoot, Halo 2 is better than Reach..

"Were it so easy..." -Thel Vadame.

Hmm. I think I have classified Halo 2 as my favorite. I love the story. It's a HUGE event in the Human-Covenant War. The Sangheili rebel, and the Covenant discover Earth.

So I do think Halo CE is a VERY GOOD game and I enjoyed it, but it isn't my favorite in the Halo series.

  • 09.23.2010 6:53 AM PDT

To the topic:Yes,for me Halo:CE is the best Halo,and one of the best game ever made
