Halo 2 has better multiplayer, but its not even fair to compare halo1's and halo2's campaign.

Halo 1's storyline just felt a lot cooler than Halo 2's. Don't get me wrong, I still like Halo 2's campaign plenty, but Halo 1's was better for co-op. Now that I've been through Halo 1 Legendary so many times with my friends, we can all practically do it with our eyes closed.

Er, why did you post this in the Halo 2 multiplayer forum?

Moving to the Library, since you gave it a Halo 1 skew.

Poll: Which campaign did you like better?(in terms of gameplay and storyl...  [closed]
Halo 1 :  66%
(23 Votes)
Halo 2:  23%
(8 Votes)
I like their campaigns the same:  11%

Total Votes: 35

I made this poll, because I personally thought Halo 1 campaign was more fun than Halo 2's. Remember that " Oh crap!" feeling you got when you saw a gold elite or a pair hunters in Legendary? Or how traveling around with one Plasma Rifle wasn't considered idiotic? Or how Banshees didn't move at the speed of a running brick?(when not boosting of course, because they didn't have boost). I think those were the good ol days. Of course, the Multiplayer has gotten much more fun, but lets stay on the subject about storymode (campaign). After your vote, feel free to tell why you chose what you chose and your opinion on each.

I don't understand why people like Halo 1's campaign mode more than Halo 2's. Halo 1's was repeatative but Halo 2's was large and almost always felt new. I mean, after playing the part 100,000 Year War in Halo 2, it was the most amazing thing ever! And if you don't like Halo 2's campaign just because of the ending, you're missing the point.

Its not that I didn't like it, its just that I geta special feeling in my stomach whenever I relive the days of Halo 1.

Don't get me wrong either, I love Halo 1's campaign mode (it kinda hurts me to beat on it like that). We just can't let nostagalia determine what's better.

The reason being that everyone liked Halo 1 story line is the fact is what a game totally out of this world. Something out of the blue. It was truly an amazing game, and the whole futuristic fighting and vehicles and action. When Halo 2 came out, for those who have played it, it didnt seem all that great, you have Master Chief fighting against the convenant (Good vs. Evil) then they threw in the Covenant story line. Which is Conventant trying to kill the rebels of the Great Journey! (Evil vs Evil) Then you get to the point of them meeting up with Flood which is outragesly ridiculous when the Humans should of encountered them first. (Evil vs. Nuetral) Then they all meet up towards the end, to find out its a Secret Alliance among them all. Machines vs. Flood vs. Conventant vs. Humans vs. Rebels. Machines are distguished along with the Flood. So then there are only 3 left. And the rebels, gain more members for the Arbriter, finds out the plan of the Covenant so then the fight takes it to Good & Evil vs. The Greater Evil. Too complex. Halo 1 was bout us humans kicking the aliens ass. As in Halo 2, saying in lamen terms, Humans vs. Coventant to find out that the Coventant are having a civil war and not all of them are evil. As too say, we steped into someone elses territory we are going to get it. But to make it look like there is a good side to the Evil. Very stupid. They spend way too much time on the making of the campaign to screw it up. My brother has been playing Halo 2 since it came out, and hasn't even touched campaign, and then there are the players that never even played Halo 1 at all. But to make state somethings clear, in the event they make Halo 3. It better be a a good storly line cause they left you hanging at the end of Halo 2. More on the humans, no1 cares bout coventant, they are garbage, and we will -blam!- them for we are the greater species, and they are bout as good as toilet paper for whipping my butt!

its because halo 2's campaign levels are BORING! in halo1 there was always something going on, some Close Quarters fighting or some large battle. halo2 the enemies come in waves and its slow! also all parts of halo2 where you get into a vehicle suck....like really badly they are horrible. halo2 had like 20-30 seconds of action, then it was nothing for another minute and a minute of nothing lasts alot longer than you think in fps.

The only time I thought H2's campaign was boring was on the "Normal" difficulty. Ramp it up to Heroic or Legendary and play the real game. That's where Halo 2 really shines.

I answered equal because they are different. CE's campaign was harder and I felt that it was more serious. 2's campaign was full of glitches and fun.
