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!!!


Halo 2:

Lag
Host advantage
Melee system
Super jumps
No fall damage
No weapon balance
Bad maps


I'd take a game with worse physics but better weapons and maps than a game that has poor balance but looks good. P.S. the pistol is only overpowered if you're good enough to 3 shot with it, but most people are not that good.

Except...other than Hang 'em High, every map is better in Halo 2 than it was in Halo 1. Hang 'em High is the only good one that is missing from Halo 2. Also, falling damage was pretty dumb...I mean, really. I don't want real life...I want a game.

Does this, from a previous weekly update, give any of you hope that they may do something interesting with Halo 1 on the 360?:

"We’re going to have more to tell you about how Halo one and two look on 360, and it’s all good news."

Or does it just tell us that they will be backwards compatible with no XBL functionality added to H1?

Only time will tell. (I've got my fingers crossed for ya!)

Probably, no XBL. Since Achronos said a month or two ago that they would never put Halo on XBL...

You're right. Probably no.

... he has special shoes lots of water and like four towels. Plus he is stinky.


Oh ... he needs special shoes alright: and a special helmet for his ride on the short bus.


And a chin strap.

I think CE will never be on XBL because they have to code the game for XBL. I can wait till Halo 3. Halo 2 will suffice until then, or until something I like more comes along.

Amen brother. I haven't even seen a reason to pick up a 360 at launch (unless Quake4 turns out to be a gem).

I know I wold certainly forgive Bungie if they put HaloCE on xbox live. It would be so awesome to play HaloCE using the voice communication with this game. The fun factor in HaloCE is still one of the highest you can experience with a FPS. Halo 2 just did'nt do it for me, its too frustrating to play that game with all of the auto aim and physics that just make the game borring and repetative. HaloCE on the other hand is a great balance of weapondry and physics to back it up.

It would be so awesome to play Halo 1 on xbox live! It would be so big of a thing for the millions of dissapointed gamers like me that stopd playing xbox all together because of spraylo 2. Halo 1 is hands down the best console FPS of all time and always will be, It is a stroke of genius. I was not planing on getting a 360 but if Bungie ports Halo 1 for it, I will buy 10 of em!!!

...ever heard of Perfect Dark Zero? That game is going to be UNREAL :D

-unless they screw it up like halo2 (make the sequel much worse than the original.)


Of course I've heard of it and seen a HD video of it that was 5 minutes long. It was pretty, but the enemy AI was horrible (they might clean it up before release), and you can't jump for goodness sake (why on earth would they do that?). I also read in an interview with the developers that if you're looking for a Halo replacement, that isn't it. We'll see, very soon.

Your last comment about Halo2: Whatever.

My oh my.

Obviously the "millions of people who prefer halo 1 over halo 2" would rather spend their time bashing Halo 2. -Blam!- and moan -blam!- and moan. Spend less time whining and more time playing Halo 1 if that is the case.

If you want Halo 1 to be ported to the 360, then bashing Halo 2 is the exact opposite of the way to get it done.

ALL comparing of the 2 games is entirely pointless. One is for LAN one is for Live. So if you play them both on LAN then Halo 1 will have a more satisfying experience. If you play them both over long distance connectivity (Live and XBC respectively), then Halo 2 would give the more satisfying experience.

I played XBC and after a 3 shot kill through a wall, I just put down the controller. It was enjoyable, just unstable, especially when it came to the modders. Glass walls anyone?

erm, have you played the first Perfect Dark? Well in case you haven't, don't, unless you want to elevate your standards to an acceptable level, justifying your high expectations for the sequal, thus making it UNREAL.

Noticed you have a gamer tag, how odd. CE isn't on XBL? On top of that, you played last night; why if H2 sucks?

I see. Please, explain how these comments, or any others that you pull from your previous post support the argument that you actually like Halo2.


...30 minutes into Halo 2, everyone was begging to go back to Halo...

...Halo 2 is a fantastic Xbox Live game, but honestly, that's not saying much. What did Halo 2 really dethrone to become the king of Xbox Live? Nothing...

...After almost a month or two in denial, we came to the harsh realization that it just didn't match up to the first...

...Halo 2 is just a game that's more flawed (and rushed; watch the DVD) and just not as fun as Halo: CE...

...Halo 2 made all of it's money because Halo: CE was so good...

...If these guys had tried to pass off Halo 2 as Halo: CE back in 2001, it would have been just another flash in the pan FPS...



If, in fact, you do enjoy playing Halo 2. It is not clear from your original post.

Anyway, as this ridiculous discussion has been relegated to the archive of the library (where it belongs), I bid you farewell, sir.

There are at least a million Halo 1 fans that prefer Halo 1 over Halo 2

hmmm, where'd u get that statistic, moron?


Hypocrite.

He may have exxagerated, but everyone knows that there is a rather large statistic of people like Halo1 more than Halo2.

Don't flame, practice what you preech.

I've heard rumors about it coming to Live. Go to www.xbconnect.com. I think they have some info on it there.


Maaan, if this is true I'll buy 20 copies and give them out as xmas presents to my friends, and take some vacation time!

Oh, and someone summed it up real nice in an earlier post. Halo 2 just isn't as fun as Halo 1. It really isn't for me. The 1.1 was a slight improvement. To each.....

I would NEVER forgive Bungie, I would NEVER forgive the narrow-minded, nostalgic fools who coerced Bungie into making such a grevious mistake in destroying the legacy of the greatest game series in history.
