ohohoh!!! CIozed_, tell me about the new counter strike and all of the little kids yelling in the microphone!

How could you say halflife has better multiplayer than halo2? I havn't seen the MP for myself but that game makes me vomit :( apart from watching people being helplessly decapitated its a great game.


I like the first Halo over Counter Strike, Half Life, and Half Life 2. But Halo 2 is worse than San Andreas for the Xbox, and the controls sucked balls for that game.

Dont get me started with that, you can actually pick what lvl u want to play and play it with total strangers. There is no ranking, but that doesn't matter. You get better by playing people way better than you. That's how I got really good at Halo and at CS: S (Counter Strike: Source). Ur not forced to play a level u really don't want to play. THAT'S how it is better.

How old r u? 12? 13? maybe 11?

I'm 14... I kinda like counter strike how it is really skillful, yet I have no problem with halo2. Halo:ce is way too limited but the campaign is still good, the multiplayer just sucks though! Me and my brothers friend had been playing halo2, then we started playing halo:ce. We both got in tanks and drove into each other and his tank did a backflip!

I crapped myself as I saw 66tons of straight up, HE spewing divine intervention fly into the air :D I sometimes blow myself up with grenades because I'm not used to the blast radius.

Halo 1 had skill, health, a good shotgun, pistol rocked, bashes rocked, falling and taking damage was skillful, the sniper rifle wasnt baby friendly, and the levels were awesome. The game played like a champion, if only AI bots, and more levels existed with online play it would be the epitemy of all games.
Halo 2 looks good, but plays like crap.. The shotgun is ruined, the sword is cool just too powerful (no lunge shuold be implemented), dual wielding never works in first person games, no health, no falling damage, as soon as your seen your probablity of survival is 10%.
If Microsoft is smart they will re-release Halo 1 for the Xbox and leave it just as it was with maybe causing 4 head shots to kill, AI bots, and a bunch new levels with all the old favorites, as well as ONLINE PLAY of course. I foresee this title selling more than Halo 2 and becomnig the greatest game of all time if these features are implemneted....

They are both great games. I don't understand the people that say that Halo 2 is the worst game ever but they love Halo CE. What is better about halo 1? Its easier thats all i can think of.

They won't listen, they're too dense. They won't listen to our logic either.

I prefer Halo2 for a number of reasons.

Why? - skill. I like halo 2 because it requires more skill than Halo 1. Yea, I said it.

People think the mastery of the halo1 pistol (i.e. mastery of 1 weapon) is how you prove skill. In my opinion, being a more well rounded player who can adapt to many situations, and can use various weapons (or combinations thereof) is how you truely measure skill.

Respawning with one of the weaker weapons, and having to either use it, or get a better weapon takes way more skill than to respawn with the most dominant weapon in the game.

To put it simply....if you don't like respawning with a relatively weak weapon, then don't respawn - DON'T GET KILLED IN THE FIRST PLACE.


Running to get a better weapon isn't a skill.

I was great with all weapons in Halo CE. I am the master of the assualt rifle because I am good at meleeing. In some maps I wouldn't even pick up a pistol. If you did nothing but play pistol games, then you didn't play much Halo CE.

Why are you making comments about something you just admit you've never played? If you've never played Half Life multiplayer, then don't slam others who say it's better, because you simply don't know, do you?

Halo 2 is 100 times better than Halo 1. Better graphics, better gameplay, better everything. Main reason i prefer Halo 2 over Halo 1 is because of the Arbiter. Playing as an Elite and having a team of elites, grunts, and hunters fight alongside you as you battle flood and the brutes is awesome. Arbiter and Halo 2 rules.

buddy, dont even get me started on how bad the game play was on halo 2. do you really enjoy watching an elite do a back flip when you soot him in the head?

Yes, the fluidity and realisticness of Halo 2s physics is so much better. In Halo 1, all the enemies had pre-determined death fall postions. They either fell forward and landed on there front or fell back and landed on there backs. And depending on the which of the 2 positions they fell into, there arms and legs would be in pre-determined positions as well. Any weapon or melle you used would result in one of the 2 deaths. And If any of the enemies or marines landed on even a slight angle or rise, there bodies deformed into unrealistic positions. In Halo 2. the rag doll physics are awesome, every death fall is unique, and if they land on something, the bodies dont deform. And if they die on a ramp, theyll actually tumble down a bit.

Because the Halo 1 fanboys keep coming to the new mombasa forums and keep posting there same repeated BS about how Halo 1 is so much better. And of course were not gonna listen to your logic because there is none. All i hear is '"WHA WHA!!!! THE PISTOL SUCKS!!!! WHA WHA!!!! THE SMG SUCKS!!!! WHA WHA!!!! THE LEVELS SUCK!!!!" You call that logic? Thats just stupidity.

Halo:CE- It has more space in the battle field, better story, it's multiplayer has better map structure(and the multiplayer games are about the same as Halo 2) and in my opinion, better weapon design. In short, it has a better feel to it.
