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.

excuse me, but are you talking about halo2? "fluidity and realisticness"? Come on! i swear every time i play halo 2 i feel so deprived. people always flop around everywhere, when people fall on the side their arms and head bob around forever, people can land like they are doing the weirdest stances which are impossible to keep when u are dead and not control of your body, and id much rather see the master cheif (and only the master cheif, not the arbiter.. who sucks a lot) die in one spot then do the MC perpellar trick or have it seem like his skelital structure is made of popsicle sticks!

ok, if you really do believe someone will do a full back flip if shot in the head, you are sadly mistaken. this has been proven many times that if you do infact get shot in the head by a gun, your head would simply jolt backwards a bit, and if youre in the right position, you might fall to your back. and under NO circumstance should you kick the back of your head if you fall to your belly, as seen in halo 2. im sorry, but halo 2's phyisics are far from accurate, and id much rather a pre-determined death that looks way better than an elite flopping all over the ground.

At least you can discribe for us what you liked better. I tip my hat to you for that. Personaly I didn't much care for playing as the Arbiter. Didn't hate it, just didn't do much for me either way. But, the part I did like as the Arbiter was the same as yours, having a team of grunts and other Covenent troops as a part of your team. I love the grunts!!!

I just wish when you were playing as Master Chief the Elites wouldn't have spoke English. That would have made more sense to me. Then, when you played as the Arbiter, you could then understand them.

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.


You know, a lot of the people making those complaints have never played Halo CE. We don't make those complaints simply because we are comparing the two games, we make them because there are aspects of Halo 2 that aren't very good, and a lot of others, even people that never played Halo 1 can see that.

The level design in Halo 2 is just bad. It wouldnt be that bad if they had put a gun in the game besides the sniper that could get a little bit of distance. I mean, honestly, there are at least 6 or 7 big maps in Halo 2. This would have been alright for Halo 1 because the pistol has decent range and can counter a sniper, but in Halo 2 the BR cant counter the sniper and neither can the Carbine, so the sniper rules all on Coag, and Waterworks, and BM. BR start doesnt change it because the BR doesnt have the range to reach across the map.

Halo 2 sucks. Everything in it was downgraded, and no skill is needed whatsoever to play, and the general age group of players in that game is 6-12. Annoying.

do u have any proof?
let me answer that for u: no.
Oh No! Fanboy alert!

True. You need alot less skill to play than in Halo 1. So.much.autoaim... autoheadshots with the sniper rifle...I could go on but i would just be pissing somebody off.

thats only because i went to bed by then- it was 1am.
i saw that vid before, and they must be playing a different version of h2 then i do, because in mine, there is hardly any auto-aim. and seriously, what kind of loser would make a vid like that?
A different version of Halo 2? Come now... If you dont belive the vid you can try those tests out yourself. I guarantee that the results will be the same.
