There are at least a million Halo 1 fans that prefer Halo 1 over Halo 2, And if Halo 1 was live enabled it would surpass Halo 2. Bungie knows this, and thats why they have never ported Halo 1 as of yet.


Thats so much BS. You pulled that out of your ass. You are saying there are more hardcore halo 1 players than halo 2 players when halo 2 was designed for the masses (as you halo 1 boys like to say). Halo 2 is way more popular.

Stop making things up.

The Ninja is right too, all you complainers dont deserve anything. All that would happen is it would go on live, you guys would find something wrong with it (realizing it has the same, if not more, XBL problems as Halo 2 does) and whine and complain about how "stupid" bungie is.

no u stupid -blam!- wit halo 1 has a better story line and its multy player is sub par compared to halo 2 ok so no ppl would play it now and then but u look at XBC were ppl play halo 1 "online" and thera at most 8 servers running compared to 20 halo 2 ones so yeah halo 1 was and still is a great game but halo 2's multy player is just a lot better


Yea that is why there were 70 servers of halo1 up last night on xbc? Shut up...Go back to middle school and learn grammar. I know over 100 people who would pay for halo1 on xbox live for over 100 bucks! Shoot, even I would! Bungie knows that if they make halo1 online everyone will leave halo2 and play halo1 and they don't like that.
I wouldn't I don't like Halo CE that much.

I have a question.

this is Halo 2 Multiplayer forums right?

then why the hell is this here.
this is for ppl that LIKE Halo 2. Besides, you bought it didnt you?

now stop compaining. Go have a LAN party or something. and no, not millions.
I would say at most hundreds..

I like Halo 2 more than i like CE because of H2's supiriority.
(sorry for spelling)

plus, it has LIVe, so go to the future, dont cling to the past

Millions? LOL

Can we say "exaggeration"?

Dont get your hopes up

Yep...he's saying millions of people, which is like a third of the people with Halo 2, have all hated Halo 2, and now hold a grudge against Bungie, who will only be forgiven if they port Halo 1 to the 360.

Sure...

Thought 360 was bakwards compatible with xbox?

One of Frankie's updates (the most recent) says he is going to sit down in his gaming heaven and play both H1 and H2 campaigns over again on 360.

Allow me to quote the all knowing Freankie:

"In preparation for my impending Xbox 360 – and I really am counting the days, I sat cross-legged in my game room building a media center. I am still nowhere near done. I am definitely getting there, but I am finally nearing my dream of turning my house into a wireless media super-gaming heaven. First thing I am going to do is play Halo one on my HDTV. I might go through the whole campaign again."

see for yourself: H1 on the 360

70 server is like nothing...Halo PC has on average between 100 and 250 servers up at any given time. And even then, there are only like 3000 people logged on. H2 on XB live logs millions, not tens of thousands, of users per day.

Halo 1 just looks slow with crappy graphics next to Halo 2. If you like it so much just p1ss off and play it and stop bothering us with your retro - sh1te opinions.


This is a community forum. If you don't want to receive any comments regarding any specific topic, then don't enter the thread.

I mean what is your point seriously, besides the fact that you can demonstrate to us all how much of an ass you can be.

Are you that arrogant to believe that your opinion has more weight than any other persons in these forums.

Hi I am Facelessneel and I post in threads just to piss people off because I am a troll.

Yeah, he's an idiot, but at least he isn't posing as a billionaire.

You're not the real Bill Gates. The real one at least knows English. And besides, Bill saying "It would take lots of money to make"? What's that? Richest man in the U.S. talking about 20 mil. Thats like a nickel to you and me.

On subject, I'd rather have Halo 3 with an idiot filter, blue screen mini games, and a portable turret then Halo:CE on Live. Play it on LAN with your friends.

Halo 1 multiplayer:

No boarding
A Spartan that slides instead of running
Over powered pistol
Poor graphics
Lame jump
Levels that are way too big (sidewinder, boarding action)
Blood gulch, where a sniper is even more fearsome.

People really need to let go of Halo 1. It is a good game, but its not as good as Halo 2.

"but theres no auto aim" - thats because its not online.
"grenade throws were better" - Throwing a grenade across a map was dumb. And pointless

I would be puzzled if Bungie made halo 1 for the 360. Id rather they took the best elements from Halo 1 and Halo 2 and gave us something new for Halo 3.

Lets not live in the past, Lets evolve!!!


-The pistol wasn't overpowered...That is like saying the BR is.
-Who cares about boarding? You can only do it on 'noobs' who get close to you with a vehicle.
-The master chief runs in halo1....you are retarded.
-Halo1 graphics are better than halo2....Except for cut scenes...Halo1 has specualr halo2 doesn't.
-Lame jump (No not really....Atleast EVERYONE could nade jump and not just host.)
-Halo2's maps are bigger than ANY of halo1's.
-Yes there was auto-aim and bungie addmitted they put too much in halo2 so shut up again.


You are a complete moron.
-The pistol wasn't overpowered? Are you freaking serious? A PISTOL should not be able to kill someone from two miles away for christ's sake. The pistol is able to kill someone from the distance of about half of sidewinder. You can't kill somone with a battle rifle from the base at sanctuary to the carbine respawn unless they are standing completely still (unless of course they are connection host).
-Halo 2 has better graphics? That is the most ignorant thing I have heard anyone say. Even people who HATE halo 2 and love halo 1 will STILL say that halo 2 has better graphics.
-Who cares about boarding? Sure it doesn't happen often, but on Halo 1 you can stand 2 inches away from someone's face and blast them without regret or sorrow. On Halo 2, you actually have to aim with your shots in a vehicle.
-You jump two freaking inches in the air on halo 1. It's pathetic, frustrating, and unnecessary. Plus, grenade jumping HURTS you. Moron.
-The halo 2 multiplayer gameplay was made for xbox live. Of course you're going to have maps like containment if you have sixteen people in the game. What's halo 1's excuse? Not even 8 people can actually play on maps like boarding action and sidewinder.
-Have you ever tried playing Halo 2 without auto-aim? (In otherwords, trying to team kill). The whole style of gameplay is based on it. Halo 1 didn't need much auto-aim, it had weapons like the plasma pistol which had a blob the size of venus and the assault rifle which has highly concentrated fire.

Nooobs = Halo 2

Semi-pros = Halo 1 or Halo 2 with teamwork

Pros = Halo 1 with teamwork


Wow. Ignorance. I know pros love Halo:CE, but that's because the better team always wins. I don't like that. I like the feeling of being able to just sneak by against a better team. It is balanced if the better team can't rely on skill alone! If you can rely on skill alone, it is a mindless game of picking the better gun. Halo 2 forces you to think about the guns and the situation. Sure, everyone is going to take the sniper, but with dual weilding and less range on guns, there are more combanations which are affective against each other. Sure, you can kill me with you rockets, but my teammate with the BR will take you out. In CE, it's:
"I killed you with the pistol."
Respawn
Get a kill
"3 shot"
Pick up shotgun. Luckily, it's one of the three maps it over powers the pistol on, get a kill.
Sniped
You kill the sniper with the pistol "No need for looking, he already showed me where he was when he shot. Of course, he has no chance, you can shoot across the map with your SIDEARM.

Stop comparing the games. It's video games. Unless you live on the money you make on live ($-5 a month), just play both. If they came out with "Halo:CE, the exact game with live" would you ever play the normal CE again? No, you play both now.

I told you not to do that.

What you must understand, is that Bungie want to make games for the general gaming public. NOT the "pros"

Im not sure on the percentages, but id put a sure bet on the fact that there are more of us "casual" gamers buying games than pro gamers are.

So to summerise, Pro gamers can play Halo 1 all day long, whilst hating halo 2, yet Bungie will go on to make another game (halo 3?) DIRECTED at gamers like me-

Not a pro, doesnt want to be a pro, dont want to spend half my life trying to be good at a game.

I think thats why "pros" get mad at Halo 2. Because its easy for an Inexperienced player (dare i say Newcomer?!) to pick up the pad, play it on live for a while, and get fairly good at it.

THAT is why Halo 2 is so popular.

I could however be wrong.

Everyone thinks that halo 1 is a better game. But if everyone played it online, there would be the same problems as halo 2. The combo still works in halo 1, it's just the pp and the pistol. There are still rockets. You guys underestimate the amount of complaints that there would be when we all started to play halo 1.

Haven't we already gone over the Halo: CE vs. Halo 2 debate before?

This is a halo 2 forum, isn't there a halo forum this can be in?

And finally.. too many of you take video games too seriously. In the end, it will still just be a game. Not here forever, enjoy it while you can.

No it doesn't. The plasma pistol can easily be dodged even with no cover + there's a pistol loading animation everytime you switched to that gun. That's plenty of time for someone to react to that situation. I can tell just how knowledgable you are regarding this game.

In Halo 2 someone can fire off a plasma pistol overcharge and a burst from a BR so fast it looks like a single sniper round penetrated your head.

C'mon man, didn't you know the gaming world revolves around the self-proclaimed "pros"?

I don't know why they are wasting their time anyway. Epic already made their tiny island in UC2Liandri. Those elitist jack-holes can spend all day marvleing at how good they are w/o the lepers that are casual gamers. UC2 fell off the most played list within a month of its release. Mainly because the learning curve was greater than the patience of your standard casual gamer.

To the "pros". You have your island. Quit complaining about Halo 2 (a fun game) and go work your uber 1337 sk1lZ in UC2.

give cortana huge juggs, and master chief needs a hood ornament... on his helmut, shaped like a dick. yeah, that's the ticket. and they can eat frogs and drink tea on the steps of the EU building. yeah. give the elites costumes like the movie...clockwork orange.
a dingo took your baby?!
CE, ported? -blam!- off & die. new, new, new, new. well, since FPS canNOt be new ever again. it's impossible sure, port the bleed' thang with new textures, models, engines, and put vending machines in each base that distributes jet packs for all chiefs.
how about a map above the water, one of them ruined buildings. put a huge oil painting of a naked brute on the wall. then have cortana holograms poping up everywhere in a covenant or halo,, modern map. more environmentally sensetive maps... more interactive maps.
well, the overly naked part seemed funny for a distractive moment from work...

Actually, that's far from the truth. It might even be the opposite. There was a time when I seriously thought that Halo 2 was an improvement, but those were obvious lies to myself now that I look back on it. I wasn't really having much fun playing the campaign, and multiplayer was so drastically changed. It became a much more "close combat" oriented game.

On the other side, there was never a moment, other than the brief time when I thought Halo 2 wasn't a joke, when I thought that Halo wasn't the best FPS I had ever played. I have played it probably 50X more than Halo 2, and according to your logic, I should think of it as a worse game. After all, I've played it for awhile and should've found tons of things to complain about.

Halo is far from perfect, yes. But the problems in it really aren't that much. The rocket glitch, when you aim faster than you can turn and shoot, often times blowing yourself up; the sliding when you throw a grenade and keep moving (I didn't even notice this until I saw the joke of a video that someone made saying that Halo was noobed up more than Halo 2); I can't really think of that many right now, but I'm not denying that there are more.

I could just ratlle off my thoughts of what are problems with Halo 2. But I'll spare all of you, and myself, from that because we've all heard them many times. Unless you guys force me to.
