Overall I like Halo: CE better then Halo 2, but Halo 2 is by no means bad.
Good things about Halo: CE
1- Levels where much better IMO, they felt more open to me, had a better lay-out.
2- The marines as a whole looked way cooler IMO. They have a grit on they're face. They're armor is also better looking, more metal plates and its all rusty. They look battle worn.
3- The story flows better from level-to-level. Feels like more of a break. Halo 2 I feel like they're rushing me throw the game.
4- You get much more marines in Halo: CE. I love the marines, and in Halo 2 you only get about 3 with you at a time... somtimes 4. Only at a few parts are there more then that.
5- Even though the graphics are worse they tent to put more details in everything. The writing on ammo packets, on the walls and everywhere, I can read it all. Halo 2 they take down the texters on stuff like that.
Bad things about it
1- The AI for the marines is horrible. They roll into incoming fire, they shot each other all the time, they can't escape a grenade for they're life.
2- The pistol
Good things about Halo 2
1- The Graphics are vary much improved.
2- The marine's AI is improved.
3- You can play as the an Elite.
4- pistol was fixed
5- More of everything.
Not realy the bad things about it, but more of the things that I don't like.
1- Duel weilding... yes I don't enjoy it. I like to keep things more professional. If duel weilding was practical, we would see peole use it in real life, the millitary would issue people two guns. Yes this is a game and yes Master Chief could aim with two guns because of his suit, but if we went with what his suit could do, we would look around faster then we can see and run 40 mph, but that wouldent be fun would it? I think all it does is mess up weapon balancing. Ever wonder why the needler still sucks, even though they said it would be awsome. Think of what would happen if you had two of those things? Now I don't think they should take it out, but taking the time to balance it would be nice. I can see why its not though, bungie was rushed making Halo 2 and I think they'll be rushed again with 3, now that they HAVE to get it done by the time PS3 comes out.
2- Cut sences freak and spaz-out with the texters, but that I realy don't care about, just thought I would put it.
3- They took out dark-blue jackles! Go back and play Halo 2, they're not there!
4- No AR, my favorite gun... but the BR is good also.
5- Level lay-out feels boring, mostly straight lines. Not enough big open areas with choices like in Halo the level in Halo: CE.
6- I would say XBOX Live is filled with idiots and children, but thats not realy a problem with the game so... Oh I praying to god for a Human vs. Covenant game type. That dident happen.
7- More of a let down then somthing wrong, but does anyones else agree the Earth levels are a major let-down. The E3 demo level look awsome! I was extremly disappointed with the ones in Halo 2.
Again, I'm not saying bungie suck or anything, or that Halo 2 is horrible, only saying why I like Halo: CE
Even with its problems, Halo 2 still beats every FPS out there, minus Halo: CE of course. Bungie is still my favorite game company. Now, back to playing Myth...
