There has been a lot of debate about which is better H1 or H2, both games are very impressive and have a lot to bring to the table. The less powerfull weapons have been a turn off for some players..but a leveling of the playing field to other players. Choose wisely, and may Bungie live forever!

Halo 2's multiplayer is about Team work, but it has nothing to do with personal skill, it's all about who has the better weapon, in Halo 1, all the weapons could stand up to each other in a way. And there wasnt much spawn killing because you started out wiht a powerful weapon, that lets you stand up to other weapons, but it isnt the best weapon, so it just helps balance verything out.

You're right. I myself enjoy each game's multiplayer equally due to the fact that it supplies such entertainment to myself and friends. Each game has its ups and downs. Please do not think that I am bashing Halo 2, because I like it nearly as much as the next guy...
I found that the team with the more powerful weapons in Halo 2 usually kinda mowed down the other team with a relative ease. Rockets? Swords? Shotgun?

Don't get me wrong, those weapons were sorta as powerful in Halo 1. Rockets were, but it required perfect timing and aim. Lock-ons were only a myth to the Halo Universe those days. Shotgun? It was basically useless at further-mid-range firefights. And even a burst to the guy's torso at point blank didn't kill him. It had to be to the head.

Now, with a Camo, and a Shotgun, the psycho goes further, if you know what I mean.

They both had excellent multiplayer, but I myself just found Halo 1's firefights on Blood Gulch more entertaining, if not more exciting than fights on Zanzibar. Because usually, people both have snipers on both sides. The other person wouldn't reveal their hiding place, like in World War 2. So, I found that most people usually joined in the massive battles in the midfield. Just having huge AR battles, hucking off Frag grenades, running out of ammo at the worst moment possible, having to resort to your side-arm... Then when things get a little too heated, the look on the enemy's face when your team just plows into their forces with a 600 ton steel death machine... Namely, the Warthog. It was beautiful.

Don't get me wrong again, but to me, whenever I took a step inside those beautiful canyon walls, the world slowed down to a halt. Nobody really cared about much. Who was a n--b, or who wasn't. All that mattered was running through that all too familiar surroundings, guns ablazing. Nobody was really too comptetive. Share a few laughs or two. Nobody screeched in each other's faces when they killed a less competitive player.

Those were the good old days. Of course, there were those few who were Halo-crazy and spazed each time they didn't get to drive. But, it was memorable. In Zanzibar, I didn't engage in so many ground battles. Seperate killings were going around on the map. Unlike in Blood Gulch, where everyone felt that it was their duty to get involved. Stick up and fight. Sacrifice yourself for your proud Red/Blue Armies... There are usually people sniping all over the place in Zanzibar, the odd two or four engaging in a short firefight, usually someone winning with a Shotgun, or sword...

Ultimately, Halo 2's multiplayer is fun. But it's not collosal for me. Halo 1 was just grand. I'd gladly shoulder an AR and slide an M6D into my holster over a Battle Rifle and SMG anyday.

i didnt read your post it was to long to bea reeading at 3 am.

anyways i think halo 2 is better. things are just the same in halo1. there is a PP and a pistol just like the PP and BR and there is rockets just the same.. the only difference is the levls are way more diverse now. and we have more gametypes now.

im not saying halo2 is a better game (wich i think is) im saying halo2's multiplayer is obviousley better. i mean.... it has xbox live why wouldnt it be better.

now dont go saying "well halo1 has Xbox connect!" because either way XBC isnt as good as the real thing and there no mike and its still only 2V2

I think that Halo CE has better mulitplayer. For one thing all the weapons are pretty good and useful. I also like the maps more than the Halo 2 maps (except for the updated maps which I prefer more except for Wizard/Warlock). Halo also takes more skill in my opinion since most the weapons can hold their own, while in Halo 2 it's just whoever has the more powerful weapons. I also miss Race from Halo cause me and my friends, had some crazy fun with that game.

What I also like about H2 is the canyon level for multyplayer. Its a reevation from the canon level in H1. And they also have more warthogs. I would like it if they could do the same thing for H3, but more vehicles!

Halo:CE has the far superior multiplayer gameplay.
