A lot of people. I do. If Halo 2 was just like Halo 1, but with new features added, it would be awesome.

I love the first one so much better, but this thread is going to have some b**tard halo 2 lover coming out to diss us becuase we're talking about the better game.
(I can't stand the second one)

no the pistol was the only downside of Halo. Along with radar. It's the downside of having ultimate fun in multiplayer in both games, unless you turn it off but in the second you have to deal with it in MM.

Yes. I just wish the AR had a tighter bullet path. You know what i mean? Not spraying everywhere.

Why do you care, seriously? How old are these threads? How about you just make up your own mind on which games you like and don't like and play what ever you want to play. I really am sick of seeing these topics. If you have something positive to say about Halo, then great! But please don't start another Halo/Halo 2 debate. Please.

Edit: Yeah, I do agree though. I love Halos AR. I love the physics. I love the architecture. I love the atmosphere. I love the score. I love MCs armour; The little lights that are on it in particular. I love everything about it. It is perfection. It is classic. I play it every single day.

dude, you pulled a jesus!

These topics always lead to flame wars. I personally like Halo 2 more, but that's just me. Though I do like both, I've mainly stuck to Halo 2 since I got XBL. But sometimes I do go back. Halo 1 gives you the feeling that your just a on-man army and sometimes I need that feeling.

No offense to the one who posted this, but I would HATE Halo 2 if it were like Halo 1. I didn't buy a sequal to a game just to find out it's basically the first game repackaged and sold for $50.

The fact is that they are different games. Halo 1 centered on the campaign, while Halo 2 focused on multiplayer. Depending on what you like more, you preffer one game over the other.

Not true. I focus on both single player and multi player, and i enjoy halo1 much more. Single player: halo1. Multi player: halo1.

i favor halo 1 because its all around a better game. i mean, come on! all the enimies in halo 2 look like they were covered in lip gloss. i swear im looking at a mirror every time i see a grunts skin! lets face it, halo 2 had so many bugs in it, i couldnt tell if i was playing a game or a computer virus. then there was this lame ass limp body system. if you shoot an elite in the head, he does a friken back flip! the scarab gun was fun and all, but it doesnt make up for what i know i missed out on. halo 1 didnt have any glitches, i loved the graphics, and i loved the weapons. i cant help but think every single weapon in halo 2 was down graded. the pistol sucks, all the covenant sniper rifle is is a deadly camera, and the plasma grenade's explosion sounds like somthings crashing into somthing else. the only weapon that wasnt downgraded, was actually upgraded. the rocket launcher. and i hated the upgrade, it was given a lock on feature. who here misses watching a gost fifty yards away from you going 120 mph, and timing it just right to hit the nose, watch the elite fly out, and you suddenly get this big sense of accomplishment. god i miss that. theres just no doubt that halo one is an all around better game.

I think of both of these games as seperate identities. If Bungie had created the same game twice and released it then I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have gone out and bought it. I know that I bought Halo 2 because I saw a preview of a level and saw the differences in the two games. I loved the differences. I loved seeing MC kick the brute out of the ghost. I bought Halo 2 because it was different than Halo 1. I just would like to say both of these games are freaking awesome and if you like Halo 1 better than Halo 2 than go play it instead of Halo 2. If you like Halo 2 then go play it. And if you are like me you will play both of them and enjoy them both equally as much.

Not only was the story and plot that halo 2 brought apon us completely bogus, like the whole covi civil war and the arbitor and the lamest boss' to date.. but go read Bungie.net's own FAQ on halo 2 (which i followed religeously with countless other halo fans waiting for more information to drool over) and you'll see that they never planned on xbox live (which is what halo 2 is now most known for) and that AI would be smart even though i find more allies blowing them-selves up or me along with them in halo 2. and if it did happen in halo 1.. it was damn hilarious like when a marine threw a grenade right next to me and some other marines on Halo and he said "my bad" and we all exploded i cracked up. you dont have moments like that in halo 2 all you have is people doing backflips, downgraded weapons, and the oh so classy arbitor.

PS what is up with the health and sheild system with halo 2? why cant there be health why?! *tear* RIP cool health system

I think it's a good thing that it was removed. In real life you cannot tell how much "health" you have left, nor pick up a magical health pack which restores you instantly to full strength.

hey, first off. i like magical health packs thank you very much. and have you considered its 500 years in the future.. they might be able to monitor how much health you have if youre in a giant suite of armor.

and secondly, it reflects how you did previously in the situation. if you rushed into a room guns blazing and ended up killing everyone but with one bar of health left then thats your own fault. and you have to deal with it. in halo 2 the sheilds recharge either too quickly or too slowly and not having a health system when your sheilds are down make you unable to tell if you can take another bullet or two. becuase those bullets count sometimes

"Health" is simply not measurable in such a sense. I can see where you're coming from but in games it's more or less a measure of how many shots you can take. In real life it's a matter of where those shots hit you. If you get shot in the head you're a goner, just like you can get shot in the arm numerous times and survive. Health in games is merely a reflection of the number of times you've been damaged, and with what force.

Yes, knowing how well you did in the last situation can help improve your game. But how would you know how much more you can take in reality? You might get shot in the legs twice and survive when two body shots would kill you.

i see truth lay in both our claims. but still to each his own. i think health is important and you dont. but dont even start to talk about realism in halo 2. have you seen the physics? i wacked an elite and he flopped half way across the hall! and when master cheif hits and edge i'd much rather see him just flop down dead then do the MC perpellar trick or have his head and arms move around like his skeletal structure is made from popsicle sticks. i yet to find a realistic aspect about halo 2. (besides the sheilds if you will)

I guess I worded it wrong. I just ment that Bungie focused more on different aspects in the games. But I do love bothe games, it's just I like Halo 2 more. Perhaps it's that no one plays halo near me and you can only play campaign by yourself for so long and still have fun

Theyre pretty much the same thing but halo 2 has more weapons and features so I dont know why people hate Halo 2 when its the exact same thing but with more stuff. (and it has XBL, how can it get any better?)

excuse me, but have you even read the forum threads on this page? weve been listing all of things about halo 2 that suck. obviously without halo CE, halo 2 would not have been the least bit succesfull. halo 2 was hardly the same game, given the cheats, bad physics, and over all, it just didnt have the right feel. im sorry, but these two games are hardly equal, let alone the same.

duh there is no way halo2 compares with halo, except with its graphics which to me i would rather have halo 1 again with new lvl's. BUNGIE PLEASE BRING BACK THE PISTOL AND HEALTH. i have cried over this little mistake you made but you can still save yourself. it is a big deal with ancient players of the halo 1 art. it is because of halo that i am going to school to be a computer animator... person. i love every one who made this unbeliveable game, so please save me from shooting myself.
thank you,
