Yet somehow I bellieve him... No I really don't. You guys seem pretty close -minded when trying to "prove" CE is better. Lets face the facts, H2 is a progression of ideas, an evolution if you will. Bungie doesn't get worse. 'nuff said.

The story, the shotgun, and most melee strikes were better in Halo 1. Everything else, Halo 2 improves upon it.

yeah, i love how u just said that flat out without providing any clear evidence of ur claim.

It is his opinion, he doesn't have to explain it. That's like asking someone why they love someone else, and if they say "i don't know why" or something like that, then you can't say "then you are wrong".

However, i agree with kazoo on this. To me, halo1 is more fun, way more.

have you beat it because i think it is a little easier than halo 2 the only problem with halo ce is no dual wielding, hi jaking, sword except for covenant use, and lock on rocket launcher


How is no duel wielding a problem? I think it's a vast improvement. Hijacking I enjoy, but they screwed up the vehicle physics to make it possible. Now instead of running someone over, you just bounce them half way across the map. Sword? You mean the crutch for less skilled and less versitile players? You can keep your sword. And, the only time I think a lock on rocket is needed is against a Banshee. Nothing better than hitting a Warthog from across Blood Gulch with no lock on.


stop -blam!-ing, you're one year late to -blam!-, ur time is up. ur right, nothing better than hitting a warthog from across blood gulch, and watching as they dont blow up. get a life

oo halo 1 is more fun, u just cant play multiplayer, the graphics suck, the campaign is the same thing over and over again, shooting a vehicle with a rocket launcher sends it right on top of u, and o yeah, on halo pc about 200 people play it. while on XBL 80,500 people play, which was a bigger success?

I think based on sales halo2 won out. Halo2 managed to get sales about 4times faster or something like that. Anyway, has anyone compared the links pages from h2s.com and hbo? Its just so sad... I'd only dedicate my spare time to making a hate site for xboxs top game if I was braindamaged.

Funny, half of the kids who say that Halo 2 is the better game were obviously GARBAGE at halo 1. I mean, who cares how many people play it now, back then it was the best Console FPS, and in my opinion it still is the best Console FPS game. It's fun, it's balanced, and things actually WORK in that game, unlike halo 2.

Amen!

And The Stanman, take a fricken chill pill. Hitting a Warthog from accross Blood Gultch is one of the best moments I've experienced in Halo 1 or Halo 2.

I didn't tought that my feelings about getting the game where becoming this, people always say "Halo 2 is better", "Halo : Combat Evolved is better" like if you had all the reason, like the guy that said...but you may be dissapointed cuz Halo 2 campaign was better(and multiplayer), if you dont like Halo: Combat Evolved, don't play it, if you don't like Halo 2, don't play it, but don't try to make everyone agrees with you, like the idiots at halo2sucks.com, they made a webpage just to make people agree with them, they are just wasting big time, don't try to make people love/hate Halo: Combat Evolved/Halo 2.

Let's just say that Halo CE is a classic, much like how Goldeneye was a classic for N64....
That should keep the critics of both arguments happy!

Just to give you an example, my Halo CE disc is four years old, and can hardly even run properly due to the scratches that have come up from usage. Halo 2 is getting there, but is different in that the disc is wearing down through constant use in online play while Halo CE wore down from constant re-play (and usually a lot of screwing around) on Campaign...

Wow...this topic started as a quick and friendly statement about a guy buying Halo 1...now it has turned into a flame war. Seriously, you Halo 2 haters need to quit finding ways to say "ohh h1 is better; h2 suxors ass and is n00bified!!!!" Please. Get a life, and grow up. Nobody cares about your opinion...well, at least I don't. Not anymore. But in defense of the members here who actually DO mind your feeble argument...post at halo2sucks.com, where you will be gratefully welcomed, unlike here.


Maybe you should stay out of the Halo 1 forum.

A CE FAN!!! You rule! HALO: CE FO LIFE!!! Only problem with it is pistol and rocket whores.


:o)

When I was a noob I hated the pistol and rocket too. Pistol seperates the men from the boys. Pure skill. You're either good with it, or your not. You can either dodge well, or you can't. I still run up against teams on XBC that kick my butt with pistols. I don't blame the weapon. I understand they are just better players.

At least with the rocket everyone has an idea when it is respawning. Some teams even use timers, but I kinda think of that as cheating. It's like taking a calculator into a math test. But, if the other team has one, it still respawns, so you can get one two. But, have to be decent with your current weapon to fight them off the spawn area to get it in the first place:o)

How would he give "evidence"? I like the Batman ride at Six Flags. Not everyone likes roller coasters, or that type. I couldn't give "evidence" that it is funner than any other roller coaster, because it is all opinion. But, at least I have the right to that opinion.

I don't have to prove anything. As you can see here, there are a lot of people that feel the same way. I didn't have to tell them to like Halo CE more, they just do.

Bungie doesn't have a clue. They have no real idea what their fans want. When Halo 2 came out, it didn't even have a Team Slayer playlist. They were trying to turn it into another Counter Strike, with objective based games. 95% of the games I've played on XBC were Team Slayer games. I can see the weapon design was even created with close in fighting in mind, instead of the mid to long range aiming battles from Halo CE.

In poll after poll on this site I've seen people prefer battle rifle starts by about 80%. Yet, Bungie is JUST NOW putting together a "Pro" playlist. How's that for not having a clue?

You just showed your lack of knowledge on this subject. Halo PC was never a HUGE success like Halo CE was for the XBox. Besides, if all you knew was Halo PC, then you're missing something. I have both, I much prefer Halo CE. I have a very good computer, raid drive, ext. and I still think Halo CE has better graphics and much better responses. To me the differences were like night and day. I remember reading about how Gearbox made Halo PC, and they said they had to change several things so they could sell to a wider PC market because it would have taken a very high end PC as is. For example...they explained how they had to change the lighting for the flashlight because most PC's wouldn't be able to do it. That's just one small example of many changes that had to be made to "dumb down" the graphics for the PC market.

Even at it's high point, Halo PC never had close to the numbers of people playing it online as Halo 2 because a lot of people didn't see the point in buying a game they already had. The whole purpose of Halo PC was to sell to people who didn't have an XBox. In a way it was an advertisment for Halo 2 for non-XBox owners. Just like Halo 3 seems to be more of a advertisment placeholder for Halo 3 and the XBox 360. Every aspect of Halo 2 screams that it's an unfinished game. They even admit as much in the bonus DVD. If Microsoft had givin them the time they needed to make it how they wanted, they would have been releasing too close to the XBox 360 launch. Plus, Halo 3 is going to be a BIG XBox 360 seller.

Or something like that? ROFL There were about 1.5 million pre-orders for Halo 2. Why do you think that is? And, how many of those 1.5 million played Halo 2 before they bought it on opening day? A lot of people took it home and were dissappointed.

I saw copies of Halo 2 on Ebay less than a month later selling for $20. Almost three years after Halo CE came out, it was still selling for $40. Halo 2 started selling for $40 after a few months. I was surprised they turned it into a "platnum hit" for $19.95, because it was still selling in third place week for week when they did that.

And stop going to halo2sucks.com if it bothers you so much. A lot of people shop at Wal-Mart, yet someone made a walmartsucks.com website too (Although it's nothing but a portal with the old forum still intact. Wal-Mart must have pulled a fast one past a judge and had them take it down)

Very true. Most people make it pretty obvious that they weren't very good at it, or worse yet, never played it online with XBC or another tunneling program. Saw a thread from a guy that said Halo 2 MP was much better. I later got him to admit he had played all of 3 hours of it at a LAN party. Never even played it online. It was pretty easy to tell he was just frustrated by higher skilled players and just gave up.

I see that all the time from them. They'll make statements about Halo CE that aren't true, and it makes it pretty easy to catch them. Like if I were to talk about Halo 2 and talk about how cool the flamethrower is and that makes it so much better than Halo CE. You'd know right off I was full of crap because there isn't a flamethrower. I have no problems with people enjoying Halo 2 more, just don't make statements when you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

hahaha, its alright man. you could start a post about anything, and befor you know it, people would be arguing about h 1 and h 2. hell, all you would have to say is "peanut", and people would start arguing about halo 1 and halo 2 for no particullar reason. i actually learn to enjoy it though. if i start a post and people start arguing, i just sit back, grab a coke, and think in my head "dance puppets, dance!" so just enjoy it.
