Halo 2 is ok but the story of the arbiter killed it. After all, it is the MC's story. It started as the MC on the first one and the arbiter interfered with the story. Playing as an elite in splite screen is cool, but in the story it almost kills the point of halo.

I've worked out a new formula! h1=h2-xbl,new vehicles ,new weapons, new maps, new enemies, new graphics engine, more detailed cutscenes and on a positive note: also minus the spammers. I don't see how people like halo1 over halo2 with what I just said, then again why should I care? If you posted this on New Mombasa you would be really screwed (and flamed).

I like H1 physics engine way better then H2s. In H2 it feels like everything is plastic! mostly the warthogs. and in H1 they were key to win. ect. ect.

Halo 1 is better than Halo 2 because of the physics engine, the better maps, and lack of auto aim. I play on xbc almost everyday now for Halo 1. It is just more fun. Hit me up on xbc some time if u want to get raped. XBC: ][_LaSt-{1}-LeFt_][

Give me those "reasons" or delete your post and admit your an idiot.

Edit: In fact, can any of you point out why the arbiter "killed" the storyline and why fall damage sucks?

The arbiter made the story more interesting because you learnt about the covies side of the story and knew what the hell was going on.

Fall damage: What sucks about it? You people can talk but you have never proven it. It say its good because your no longer a little -blam!- who is stunned from a 5metre fall + you live longer - what sucks about living longer?

Now that I've explained how about you return the favour?

Grunt don't be an ass, he was just stating an opinion and if you wanted an answer you could have just asked.

I'll give it a shot.

I found it to get annoying, i'd rather fight for my side instead of trading sides each time, but i didn't really have as much a problem with that. My opinion.

Fall damage: What sucks about it? You people can talk but you have never proven it. It say its good because your no longer a little -blam!- who is stunned from a 5metre fall + you live longer - what sucks about living longer?
You where punished for making a mistake, you had to think more about your moves. Am i -blam!- 'cause i handle a little more thinking an reflexes?

Now that I've explained how about you return the favour?
Well... i did the best i could. But personally i find the major problems and downfall of halo 2 are it's physics and how it screwed up the weapons. Also the warthog, it was unique, now its clunky and feels like plastic.

Well I don't like being punished for making mistakes!

And sorry if I'm an ass, we got a vaccination at school yesterday and one of the side effects are being bad tempered (no joke, it came in the letter we got afterwards. My left arm feels weird now, I just hope I don't get the 39degrees fever lol.)

Halo > Halo 2

Halo 1 is just the greatest, there is nothing better than playing 3 vs 3 dammy ctf and beating people on their own host on xbc. The sniper took real skill, there was no huge autoaim and hitboxes like halo 2, the pistol took skill, all the weapons come on a timer ( not like stupid halo 2) and the engine is just the greatest.

halo is just more original i love the halo series but somehow bungie just found someway to make it feel like your on this beautiful ringworld and it can be peaceful and majestic at one point and as you get deeper into the game it turns into a sometimes scary enviorment to try to survive and destroy halo they made it feel like you really are this super combat warrior and you find out the secrets of halo also the graphics i think are better a little only because everyhting in halo 2 is shiny now i love halo 2 and i think that it is very cool to be able to dual wield guns new enimies and enviorments and weapons also the story line is very well done not quite as good as halo but very well i think the fact that it is a little strange that halo 2 has more levels yet it takes much longer to beat halo. halo 2 is very well done the only other thing i believe is that halo 2 had not as good an ending at all is was very very good but halos is way better halo2s is just a big cliffhanger it is a very good cliffhanger but it does lead to halo 3 but it just ends and you arent expecting it you want to keep playing especially considering i beat it in 4 hrs on easy though so but halos ending leaves you with a relief knowing that everything is okay for now but halo 2 leaves in the middle of everyhting happening at once and the thing with cortana made it even worse on us i absolutely love both games but if i had to pick one for a favorite id have to give the edge to halo both are very good games but halo is just perfect in every way i cant wait till halo 3 comes out next year it will be great as long as chief and johnson and cortana dont die
anyway i think halo deseves the praise . if you did thank you for reading

Halo<>Halo 2. Why does one have to better than the other? Halo 1's great, Halo 2's great. Get over it all ready. You're not gonna prove which is better, no matter how many excuses and nitpicking little complaints you have about either game.
The Halo Series>Every other action/shooter game in existance.
Isn't that enough?

It kind of makes sense - halo comes out on xbox - kick ass game. Then halo2 comes out and there isn't a huge jump in technology like there was from ps2-xbox. Some people say halo:ce is better just to be a pain in the ass.

Oh, and "masterchief halo" I might have read your post if you used paragraphing - no offence :) it DOES help... alot.

It's not always about being a huge leap in technology! It's about a gripping story, fluid combat, non-linear levels, great strategy, excellent A.I. and just plain FUN!!! People don't say Halo 1 is better just cause they want to be a pain in the ass! Maybe they say its better because it actually is!(Ever give that a thought buddy)

Trust me, people say halo:CE is better to just be a pain in the ass (most people do anyway) and yeah... not all about technology, the music and storyline on a nintendo game can still be better than an xbox game in some cases.

OMG i love h2 for a few good reasons, first im retarded and never watch where im jumping, and now with h2 when that happens i dont get any damage or pause after i hit the ground, why should i be put at a disadvantage because of something stupid i did, second i never was good with the pistol because i find aiming to be really hard, the autoaim fixed that for me, and lock on on rockets helps me hit those vehicles without having to lead or anything. i hated geting rl or sniper in h1 just to be guned down by someone with a pistol because i couldnt kill them with my power weapon first eaither, and who enjoyed pointlessly raming warthogs together to launch one up, or getting a bunch of ppl to stick it same time until an explosion sent it flying towards someone and crushing them, by the way im only 11 and dont play any other games on live because i cant beat anyone.... luck must not play as big a role in all those games

In other words you aren't that great but since Halo 2 was crafted for noobs your happier. You should have consequeces for falling from to high or not being accurate like diying.

Meh, h1 and h2 both are way off normal fall damage. Halo1 is over done, and halo2 is none at all. Can we stop -blam!-ing and talk about something we all like, such as hunting taliban so we don't end in these pointless fights? Please?

I agree somewhat with the fall damage but Halo 1 had consequences and skill involved so I perfer Halo 1.
