This game is by far the best that i've played on my xbox and better than any game i've played on any system. If bungie were to make halo one with online capability then i would most likely play it instead of halo 2. Halo 1 has a much better storyline and is a ton better with the life bar instead of no life bar like in halo 2. dont get me wrong Halo2 is an awsome game with the better graphics and duel wielding and stuff like that it's just that halo 1 is more my type of game.

Both of the Halos appeal to me. It all depends on what pov you're asking - Graphics and gameplay is totally better on 2, but the storyline on halo 1 is so much more involving. FOR EXAMPLE - While you may be able to choose more levels in 2, in halo 1, the levels don't feel like the previous ones. I sometimes get this urge to put down my controller and go back to the first halo just because it's getting boring. I admit, I miss my notorious DWing and the beam gun (another one of my infamous WOCs), but it's a lot more fun when you change setting every level or two.

There are far too many of these threads. No one cares anymore.

I think the only reason so many people prefer Halo 2 to Halo:CE is because of Xbox Live. When playing Halo:CE they only experienced campaign mode or playing split screen with the same few people over and over again. Then Halo 2 comes along and they have a good hundred thousand people to play with.

if it weren't for dual wielding then i have to say the first halo. plus the end of halo2 is pretty stupid but you can't beat blowing up brutes.

What are the chances that Bungie is going to care what we say? Even if everyone prefers Halo 1 over 2, would they care? Or do they care more about making a game than about what we think? Dont get me wrong, I love Bungie, I idolize them, but do they care what I and thousands of other people like me think? If any Bungie employees read this, please help me out.

I disagree. Halo 2 sucks because of Dual-Welding. What so good about DWing? You just pull the left trigger too. What's so cool about that? No matter what DW combo you have basically doing the same thing, spray and pray. The only variety that DW has is pushing the triggers differently depending on your DW combo.

They're both good games but I like halo2... because, um... its more recent =) I don't miss anything from the first game. Halo2 is quite impressive, I like the extra detail added in. Like on the first level you can watch the space battles but on the poa all you saw was two lifeboats explode... halo2 was an improvement unless you only care about winning and fairness in multiplayer, that completely ruins the whole experience. In my opinion halo2 is the best game on xbox, and halo:ce is second best... and I haven't played anything else worth mentioning.

Ohhh here comes Mr. Asswipe to ruin the thread. You could have at least posted something positive about halo:ce instead of posting complete crap about halo2.

How did he ruin the thread? He opened up a whole new avenue of discussion. The purpose of this thread is to talk about which game is better. "Mr. Asswipe" decided to share with the group that he did not like DW, you could've been a good little boy and responded with a smart, witty rebuttle, but no, you were a bad boy and insulted him.

I love the Assault Rifle in Halo1, its better than the SMG in my opinion. The Smg feels like a side-arm if anything, i would prefer a modern-day MP5 to an SMG. At least with the AR, it felt slightly futuristic with the LCD ammo counter...If only it had a grenade launcher or single shot zoom.......
