I was wondering since Modern Warfare 2 is out and the Reach beta is nearing would buying Combat Evolved even be worth it?

Depends, do you have people to play it with?

The true essence of this game is its multiplayer. If you have someone to play multiplayer with its a lot more fun.

If you haven't played Combat Evolved then get it.
Its story is worth it. I replayed it about a month ago and it felt new.

If your looking for something new and something you'll keep on playing then get Modern Warfare 2.


Honestly get both haha unless you don't have the money

Combat Evolved has the best campaign out of the whole trilogy, in my opinion. and I've seen a lot of voting poles on here about which campaign is the best of the 3 and i think in every one I saw, CE won.

I do have Modern Warfare 2 and just don't enjoy playing it. I'm questioning buying Combat Evolved because I think I'd like Halo 2 better because you can play online.

Buy Combat Evolved. It is the best game in the series and it has an amazing campaign mode. I don't know what it costs now but for the price I can promise you it is the best deal anywhere. I've been having Halo CE for years now and I still go back and play it. It is an experience that is not to be missed, especially by gamers.

w00t w00t

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

IMO its worth getting just for nostalgia even if you don't enjoy it as much as other games.

None the less its a fantastic game and I'm replaying it right now on my PC.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

What does that mean??? "Would it even be worth it" ???

And yes, it is always worth buying Combat Evolved. Nine years old and players still know why it was the most accomplished FPS of our time. It paved the way man...appreciate its greatness.

It's the best Halo game to date.

R.I.P. Halo 2

Halo 1 is the greatest game that has ever existed.

And besides, MW2 sucks.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

The original halo is awesome from my opinion.As for online play it is only for the computer.As far as the missions it will be a great experience halo 1,halo 2, halo ODST, and halo 3. Playing these all will give you a full storyline of Halo.

You don't get live but you get a decent campaign. If you're into single player games, you should get it.

  • 01.18.2010 10:13 PM PDT

If you want Campaign, then get the 360 version. If you want Multiplayer, buy the PC version. It also has the Campaign, but I find it harder with a mouse and keyboard.

  • 01.18.2010 11:24 PM PDT

You should buy it. but be careful, when my original halo was broken I bought it on xbox live. But for some reason, the game was german. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I live in holland.

  • 01.23.2010 5:14 AM PDT

I got it for PC last week and I love it. I'd played the campaign on the Xbox but never tried the multiplayer beyond the Halo Trial.
I think its great, its great not being twice the size of the marines

Waffles > Pancakes. End of story.
I <3 Bungie :)

You should definately get it, I believe it's only ten bucks. And trust me, the campaign alone is worth it, especially if you have never played it before.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

It's the best FPS ever IMO...

Equal to goldeneye for nostalgia.

Not for long... Halo 2 will be dropped from Xbox Live in a couple of months.

But they're both great games. Halo:CE has such an amazing Campaign that yes, even people who bought it when it came out 9 years ago still play it. Not many games inspire that degree of loyalty.

Holland, or the Netherlands, speak(s) Dutch.

Deutsch =/= Dutch
Nederlands = Dutch

Do buy this game; if you're looking for a fun time with campaign, co-op, or multiplayer, this is your game.

I'm the opposite completely. I'd get it exclusively for the campaign, it's the best FPS story line- combat- and overall feel out of ALL games I've played. Including H3. (H2's a close one for me but that's beside the point.)

  • 02.17.2010 6:34 PM PDT

Heck yes! Halo 1 is the greatest FPS game ever made! Even if the graphics aren't today's standard, its gameplay and story make it better than anything else released in years.

  • 02.18.2010 6:02 PM PDT
