Disagree completely i think this game was as perfect as it can get

Your judging the book by its cover.

The Game had many visual flaws and also quite a few performance issues for pc but it was 2001 and look at doom for god sake halo was a graphical master piece in comparison. As for gameplay it was near perfect for its time a few things may have to be tweaked such as the lunge of the floor but remember that is down to their whips.

Just think of how in depth bungie went with the story its quite remarkable if you understand it.If you are that bothered just get Halo CE: Anniversary

Yes I'm a gamer, Yes I play pokemon, Yes I love Fallout, Yes I'm a competitive Swimmer, Yes I'm a artist, Yes I Ski, And of course yes I love Halo.

Um, the flood weren't that bad, except those sneeky rocket launcher ones. I feel you are over exaggerating, but its your opinion, not mine.

I disagree with the Op/Title. The Campaign is epci, even though I have only played 1 1/2 missions.

i agree i did get lost a bit but the story was awsome and the levels were mostly awesome. i dont see why you think it sucked because you went down the wrong hall way a few times.

  • 09.16.2011 4:56 PM PDT


I have almost beaten the game on every level...so this from my experience.

dude i beat the campaign in like three days. how long have you had the game?

When I got Halo CE it took me less than a day to get through the game, there was no getting lost on any level, on AOTCR you just follow the arrows on the floor or ceiling. Even in the level 343 Guilty Spark, that took a while to get through, especially when you met the flood, going back to the elevator that didn't go up. I wasn't angry that I had gone back for nothing, it added to the thrill, excitement - especially on legendary when you are fighting for survival.

The flood melee distance is fine if you LOOK at what is hanging off their arm. If you can't see it's a whip, so of course they'll be able to attack from far away. The only time this is ever a problem is in the Library. Even in there the monitor will tell you if you are going in the wrong direction.

Map repeating aside it's part of the story that you backtrack in Two Betrayals. If you pay close attention in TB you can see stuff like tunnels blocked where they once had been open, doors busted, all kinds of stuff the covenant are throwing not at YOU but at the flood.

Shifting down to a post I saw lower on, someone mentioning the motion tracker in Reach. If you are referring to a multiplayer game, or if in campaign you or someone else has active camo, it always, always makes it look like you're completely surrounded even if you aren't when it's active.

By the way, I use a 8 year old PC for Halo with garbage speakers AND the sound isn't blasted. No tv to play it on, no great sound, hell this monitor is fuzzy but that doesn't hinder me while playing.

The motion tracker in CE works well enough - it shows you when there are enemies around. In levels like Truth and R... where you get to a hanger and enemies seem to spawn from the very doorway you just entered, it's not like you're wiping the entire ship clean of covenant. Not every door is open to you, so it should be expected that if you get trapped for a time in a hanger that covy's will come out of every door nearby even if your motion tracker was clear before.

As a last thought before I finish this up, when you play a new game do you ACTUALLY expect to get through NO PROBLEM the first time? Do you know how many times I died on my first run trying to save every marine on AOTCR?!?!?! Or on that damn staircase on the first level? It's kind of expected that when you try something new it isn't going to be easy. If it is easy to complete then what the hell is the point of even playing it? When I think back the first time I played Halo CE it was on Normal, which took me about 12 hours. After replaying it 6 more times, I upped the anti to Heroic only once, then Legendary every time after that. Maybe if you were playing it on Legendary for the first time, then you have a reason for sucking, but otherwise no. When I play FPS games I throw caution to the wind. Screw baby steps, just charge at them! Melee an Elite to death! One thing I was always disappointed with was that I couldn't melee Hunters to death like in CE. Occasionally I do melee a hunter in Reach but it doesn't do much. Sometimes if the hunter is close to dying the melee hit will finish it off but it is rare. The point is it's not as hard as you make it out to be. And if it is, then just remember: practice makes perfect.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

I completely disagree.

I somewhat agree (flameshield on) with some of the points you made. Yeah Assault on the Control Room did have alot of copy/paste parts, and 2 Betrayals was just teh same map. Similar thing with maw/poa and truth and recon/keyes. But I am one of those diehard halo nuts that sees past the 2001 graphics and the other flaws because of the story. I suggest that you read a few of the novels and then replay halo 1. The game will take you on a great trip into the halo universe if you just give it a fighting chance.

I hope i dont sound like im preaching to you or calling you a heretic.

NAY! IT WAS HERESY!!!!

We have to look at gaming 10 years ago before we critique the level design. We also should consider the limitations of the original Xbox. Despite the issues at times with level design, Halo CE was a great game.

lol veteran player :,D if you where a veteran player then you would know that the game came out in 2001, not 2525 -_-'

Halo 3: ReV Eskimo

eventually ill be back on Reach and CEA. i enjoy gaming for fun, im a great player and i enjoy smoking while i play. so any chill players feel free to add me. I in NO way support halocharts; old username.

well if any of you ever played Marathon, it does take some mental mapping skills to get through each map. In Gears of war 2 i was disappointed at the lack of indications on where to go but halo i dont mind it too much, sometimes i find health or ammo. also, i play halo so much ill memorize it rather quick.

in halo CE the flood still had unreal melee reach, they ARE supposed to be scary but you try to calibrate the distance it takes to be safe and you find yourself WRONG too often, so i agree on that.

I do agree with you kinda, There is way too many hallways and turn off's it can get quite confusing at times, Especially when you're on legendary and you turn a corner to find a red elite who kills you just by breathing in you're direction. Lol

The only way I can get through this game is to BABY. STEP. THE. WHOLE. WAY. That is not fun. I hate games that force you to baby. step. the. entire. campaign. or. else. you. will. die. as. soon. as. you. step. out. of. the. designed. path.

What? While i was reading this i was thinking Call of Duty, that game is exactly as you describe if you play it on veteran. Cod is best played on easy, that way you don't see it's massive flaws.
But Halo? Obviously there is a path, but you have multiple ways of doing the encounters. Some parts are harder than others, thats a given. But baby steps the whole campaign? Even solo on Legendary that is hardly true.
