So i went and played Halo all over again today and i realized some of the differences that i just hadn't paid attention to. Like how the warthog sucks in Halo:CE versus Halo2, its slow and does not turn as fast. Second the plasma pistol seemed stronger. Third, the elites said "Wort, wort wort" which sometimes gave away there position if they were cloaked. Also the marines are retarded. There were plenty of times when a plasma grenade was thrown by a grunt and the marine starts cheering saying, "Yeah! Have some of this and then blows up by the grenade mid sentence. Fricken hilarious.

I prefer the Warthog in Halo CE. It's indestructable and had a real sense of weight when you drive around with it. It handled like a brick sliding all over and it just has a better feel to it IMO. Plus you can ram it through really narrow spaces like through the front entrance of the base and then out the back in Bloodgulch splattering base campers off guard. lol. Don't forget how fun it is to ram other vehicles and how this chaingun toting beast can be countered by anyone with one frag grenade thrown in it's path to flip it.

The hog in Halo 2 just felt way too light and it was way too easy to flip by traversing hills in my experience. It can stop on a dime and powerslide too but it lost that heavy feeling to it. In Halo 1 you could send the hog into a rotation to ensure a perfect landing but I can't control how the hog lands in Halo 2 after jumping a ramp/hill. Plus the vehicle is a death trap if you don't control the rockets. Anyone within locking range can instantly end your joyride.

Nicely said, I like the slide feel with the halo:ce hog but the fact that it can't even be scratched is just lame. The suspension in halo:ce was better too, but the ghost was impossible to turn due to that. and in halo:ce there was a cute little radar near the drivers seat and plasma grenades bounced off the windscreen. In halo2 you take fall damage at the most retarded times...

Oh well at least in halo2 you can reload without getting into the vehicle your beside and the chaingun doesn't effect the other two people as much, I always got pissed off at my trigger happy friend for that.

I thought the ghost in Halo CE was better bcause the tank in halo ce was so slow to turn the gun you can take out the tank with the ghost.

The warthog was better in halo ce because it was indistructable and was faster to slide around in.

The shotgun is stronger in halo ce, the pistol is stronger, the sniper sucks, the needler was stronger, and so was the pr (plasma rifle just for u idiots out there)

i was playing co-op with my brother and he would not lay off the trigger, my hands were numb the rest of the day. i think the edition of the gauss hog in halo 2 is really cool so it wins.

Hehe. Lol. Well said.

Stupid lousy bastard on back. Then again, it's kinda comforting. Me, playing so much. The vibration just feels great, that's all I can say.

But the handling is amazing. Like the guy up there said, you actually feel weight. It's a 600 Ton Steel Death machine! As RT puts it. Unlike Halo 2, where it feels so delicate. Like it's gonna break any second. Like... It's glass!

Personally, I think the Warthog in Halo:CE is better, simply because it is. It is indestructible and more fun to drive, especially over jumps. In Halo 2, the physics of the Warthog are just too sloppy.

The Plasma Pistol in Halo 2 is OK. Except that it has a slower 'bullet" the in Halo:CE. But I would take the Halo 2 Plasma Pistol anyway.

The marines and elites have a lot better AI in Halo 2. But it's still funny to watch them trying to fight in Halo CE. :)

I could always use the power slide to kill people in CE but in halo 2 there is almost no slide at all.

the warthog was has always been bizarre in that it breaks rules of physics in that halo 2 has more gravitational weight...but none on the ground

halo CE hog was like a tank on the ground but got sent into the air much much easier
