I dont. Halo 1 is so boring. The levels are ridiculously long and monotonus with the predictable groups of grunts, jackals, elites, and hunters around every turn. The only weapon you use is the magic insta kill pistol, and the shotgun. The enemies just run and shoot you. Theres very little time using the vehicles. Worst, you dont get to play as the Arbiter. And legendary is so easy. When i used to play Halo 1, i could tear thru legendary in no time. BORING BORING BORING. Halo 2 is much much greater than Halo 1. I threw out my copy of Halo 1 a few months ago cause im never going to play it again. Halo 2 offers so much more variety and challenges and i have more fun playing it each time. Simply put Halo 2 crushes, kills, and destroys Halo 1 in every aspect

I was thinking of multiplayer not single player. Both multiplayers were average.

Halo 1 is far superior than Halo 2.

You could run around with really good weapons, or u can make it harder and go with an assault rifle. You shouldn't throw out a game as good as the best game made. You could also think how many ppl can't play legendary, even for the first one. Halo 2, on Legendary, makes the Cheif look like a -blam!-. A mere soldier has more life than the Master Cheif on Halo 2. They have the same ammount of life on Halo and they can die as fast as you can.

Halo CE multiplayer is better because there is more strats and it is better rounded. Halo 2's campaign was awful. Everyone was expecting an attack on Earth, what we got was a 15 cruiser landing on Earth and another attack on a ring. Halo 2 campaign was a big disappointment. I mean sut look at Damnation. That was the best map of all time. So may possible ways to do anything. The only better aspect of Halo 2 is online play, but you can still play online with XBC.

I looooooved Halo PC multiplayer cause it was online and you can have typed chats.
I agree that the Halo 2 single player mode was pretty bad. I like all the levels up to Regret. It got really repeditive after that.
I loved the diversity and great shootout locations like in assualt on the control room. Although those rooms where basically the same, each one had unique covenant stationing and it was incredibly fun to take them out as stealthily as possible. I pride myself on being able to enialate and entire chamber undetected by assasinating everyone.

I dunno about you, but there's just something about the old Blood Gulch that I liked better than Coagulation.

Halo 1 is better than Halo 2 because Halo 1 had better single player and better multiplayer. THe gameplay was just better. All the multiplayer maps were wonderful. I particularly liked priz, hangem, and dammy. Great maps and balanced guns = lots of fun. Halo 2 is more of a spray fest, and there are too many little kids that think they are good when they probably gave up on xbc because they sucked too bad.

I agree, Halo 1 best fps ever. They should have made Halo 2 the same as halo one but 10 new campaign and a level editor levels 10 new multiplayer maps. xbox live

I like them both about the same.

Yes, Halo: Combat Evolved had a better storyline.

But, it's also arguable that XBL makes up for what is missing in Halo 2's campaign.

(Halo PC is also fun, though. I find myself playing the PC version for campaign, and a little multiplayer, although I enjoy playing with my clan on Halo 2.)

XBC is too laggy to be a good alternative to Halo 2's multiplayer. And besides, I prefer Halo 2's multiplayer anyway.

No reason to get mad about it. Every forum u'll ever go in will have the same topics over and over and over again. If u realize that, u won't get irritated anymore.

:)

P.S. Still can't stand to play Halo 2 though

That's fine, play Halo:CE, or Halo 1, if you find it to be funner.
But please, dont make a thread about it! These forums are a powder keg. The second someone makes a topic like this, it explodes into agrument.

Have fun playing your game. Hell, I might drop you a line and a play a game or two with ya, but come on, If I think Halo is better than Half Life, I'm not going to go spam up the Steam forums about it.

/end rant.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

Half Life is an awesome, so is Half Life 2. They made an awesome game twice in a row (and all the mods in between), it took 7 years because of hackers. Why can't bungie make it like the first one. Keep ur loyal fans and don't change the game to bring in a different group of people.
(That last sentence is going to piss people off.)

I'll agree with you on the Half Life part. It's a good game. But I digress.

But, this does lead me back to one thing; Halo 2 is a different game from Halo 1.

If all you wanted was an Expansion Pack, you shouldn't have had such high hopes for Halo 2, since it's a different game, with a different playing style.

Here's the thing, in the updates, they said the game would feel the same. Almost like the first one. I don't remember them saying much about the rediculously huge auto aim. All the vids that came out had my hope really high.

When i first played it, it didn't feel like the sequel to Halo. It felt like they just took the name and tacked on a game anyone could play. That one irritated me the most. In the vids in the dvd on the collector's edition. Jason Jones said he was part of the Jaded crowd that if they didn't like the game in 5 minutes, they wouldn't play it. Halo 2 barely past that standard for me.

Online was spectacular at first. Then they brought up a update that changed the weapons. I've never liked the fact, it felt different from there on and i couldn't dual weild the pistols anymore because almost every shot had to count.

Bottom line. They made this game out ot be like the first one. To me they failed with that. They better tell Microsoft to screw off, so they can make the game they made in the first place.

Cant forget the smiley

I think the reason some people like halo 1 above halo 2 is because our expectations of halo 2 were too high. personally i think the single player and multiplayer of halo 2 was better, due to the fact that the campaign levels in halo 1 were pretty much the same; the only differences were that you sometimes went through them in the dark and backwards. Also in halo 1, i hated all of the multiplayer maps except maybe a few, but in halo 2 i love all of the maps.

Alright, to me Halo 1 is better than Halo 2. They made Halo 2 feel like a completly different game because they knew how hyped up it was and they didn't want it to be too hard for the general audience. I was the biggest Halo fan until Halo 2 was relased and I played it. But now ask yourself: Would I rather play Halo 2 or any other console shooter now a days besides Halo 1? I would pick Halo 2 because most other console shooters suck compaed to Halo 2 unless you compare Halo 2 to Halo 1 than Halo 2 sucks. In my opinion the only way Bungie can redeem themselves is to :
1. Release the second half of Halo 2 on 360 in 2006 with the invasion.
2. But call it Halo 2:Part Two instead of Halo 3..... or
3. Remake Halo 2 for the true Halo fans and make it feel like Halo 1.
4. Release Halo 1 with XBL and the levels of Halo PC.
