Subject: Do you think Halo CE is the best halo

This game is what helped me to connect with my grandfather, it made parties out of noting but a bunch of 12 year old nerds with nothing better to do, it has some of the best features out of all the halo games, if i could marry a game, it would be Halo: Combat Evolved.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

For me it follows very closely behind Halo 2. I don't know why, but there's just something about Halo 2 that I like more than Halo: CE. Don't get me wrong, they're both fantastic games; I just enjoyed 2 more (yes, I played CE first for two years prior to Halo 2's release).

My order is as follows:

Halo 2 > Halo: CE > Halo 3 > Halo 3: ODST > Halo: Reach

I'm not sure where to put Halo Wars. Lower than Halo 3 for sure, but I almost think it'd be unfair to rank it here since it's a separate genre.

Anyway, flame away. This is my opinion and none of you will change it.

Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

In terms of the campaign, yes.

But overall, no.

"Besides,now it PAYS to be the strong and silent type."

It was original, it was one of those games that you would group with other Xbox games, not that it was just another game, but it wasn't part of a series, not yet anyway. I CANNOT wait for a remake!!!!!

General you don't need to start this here. You knew coming into this forum and this thread that most opinions were going to be very pro Halo:CE. I hope you did anyway.You stated your opinion and there was nothing wrong with that but once you started trying to force others into believing it that's where you crossed the line and were begging to be flamed. With that said I realize some posters provoked you into it as well but you should of just took the high road and ignored them.

Personally Halo:CE will always be my favorite. Some of it is just the good old days memories but honestly most of it is just me prefering the gameplay/weapon balance over H2/H3's. The skill gap for Halo:CE was immense,less reliance on teamwork was needed which allowed more individual skill to shine through. The pistol was the best starting weapon to date.(Yes I know default slayer starts varied from map to map but I'm talking Slayer Pro starts or just custom built games)

Most the maps were well made allowing for multiple ways to play and were memorable. Frag grenades just felt right throwing wise and went off/did damage equal to what I would actually expect them to. Fall damage was another thing that actually added to the competitiveness. If you had to risk it you could still save yourself by crouching but fall damage really made height feel like it actually mean't something.

I feel Halo:CE>Halo3>Halo 2 but that's just my opinion. They all have there strengths and weaknesses though. Don't get the wrong impression either I like H2 a ton but for a long time before the updates to it I didn't have much fun with it. Plus it was so different from CE that it took me a while to adjust.
so true i have to agree

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

Yes, and yes again!

Brace for carnage, sweet sweet halo carnage :)

No. All I can do is Campaign and splitscreen multiplayer with barely any customization.

don't forget the sound all the sounds were best in halo CE

  • 06.02.2011 10:44 PM PDT

It had the best campaign of any game I have ever played. You empathised and felt for the characters. It had a heroic yet tragic air. I was trully scared while locked in a room in the library fighting waves of flood, franticaly reloading my shotgun when the tide stemmed for a second. The weapons were also insanely well balanced. The headshot weapon (the pistol) was ineffective against shields unlike in later games which made combat much more interesting. Each level also had its own unique purpose which you knew throughout so you knew and cared about what you were fighting for. Everything just fitted together amazingly to produce the best fps for its time ever created.

For the time that it was released it was the best halo. If you out them all next to each other, my vote would go to halo 3...

I dont like reach all that much

Don't know why it calls me rubuilt gymnast 7, it's really UNSC595 in case you were wondering and I have played all of those games online

Yes for a variety of reasons:

1. the plot is original and varied, it isn't the same objective or layout every level.

2. great music, it adds to the story so well.

3. the flood, absolutely amazing how they were introduced and they are very good enemies.

4. I like that the game starts in the middle of the war and there isn't much explanation about the war.

With all of this...this game is amazing!

I like Halo CE, and Halo: Reach equally, then its Halo 3, ODST, and Halo 2

  • 06.15.2011 9:34 AM PDT

No I wouldn't never say that halo ce is the best halo because it's have very bad graphics you have so much ammo that is unbeliveble and you just can image you stronge you are.And most of all you just can't feel the good with the game then just going towards and killing killing and killing.And your weapons are so strange and they even shot so strange.But yes i understand the people that halo ce is the best halo game ever surley because the first time they trie it it was like world's best and fist biggest game.My first halo i playe'd waas halo2 and why i'am compare halo 2 with halo ce wich halo 2 was really better for me..

  • 06.19.2011 12:43 PM PDT

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

i do and i dont
the voting poll should have the option "not sure" or something like that as well because HALO C.E is best for race, CTF and team slayer IMO but HALO 2 is best for the campaign, slayer and juggernaut.

ODST has my second favourite campaign, HALO 3's campaign was dissapointing and boring but its multiplayer was alright. reaches campaign and multiplayer was boring but i didnt expect it to be great either way.
