OP, I think you are undeserving of this storm of hostility. You made the mistake of stating your reasonable distaste for the game in an aggressive manner, and this has caused all the die-hard Halo CE fanboys, drunk on nostalgia, to pounce on you and try to tear out your soul for disagreeing with their preferences.

See, now, that's not the reason for this -blam!-storm. Part of it is that the OP claims to be a Halo veteran when he gets lost on every single level and dies easily. So really, it's just that he's blaming the game for not being eas enough for him, and he's getting flamed for being an idiot.

I guess. The campaign could be a bit longer and more difficult. But you can't really blame the campaign. Bungie just made their first big seller to an awsome video game series. If you think about it, Bungie did'nt plan out the levels. Just the plot. And an awsome plot it is.

I bought the game for the campaign.

I could see how Combat Evolved would be challenging for somebody who played the lesser successors first, as it doesn't baby you the way the sequels do.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

Lets take a look at the care cup \_/ oh look its empty.

OK. Play both games on Easy. Then play both on Legendary. On Easy, enemies are still competent in CE and can kill you. In Legendary you get a small chance to survive if you think before you charge in. Not the case with later games.

Halo campaign is amazing. Wel thought out with a nice story, great graphics and good scenery

  • 06.22.2011 8:23 AM PDT

The Reality Of War...

In my opinion it was the best game on the original xbox until Halo 2 was released. It was the one game that inspired so many people to play Halo and have the universe/fanbase it has today, so it can't be that bad.

The amount of times I completed the campaign would scare people. XD

Well no it dosnt and baby steps? i beg to differ i was able to run the whole map, and the flood arnt to much of a deal and the reason why they melee so far is cos of their wips. Also not to troll or anything but i think you just suck (NO DISRESPECT JUST THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO EXPLAIN) i'm not a halo vet but it was this game that got me into gaming but yeah playing "two betrayals" level is abit dumb due to it being the same as the 5th but its how the perfect writen story goes but the remake HOPFULLY will be better even if they're using the orginal engine.

DO YOU HAVE A F****** BRAIN!?!? USE IT!! HCE was for THINKING, NOT CHARGING IN GUNS BLAZING!! AMAZING!! THERE ARE GAMES THAT MAKE YOU THINK!! AND PEOPLE just HATE them! WHY ARE YOU TROLLING?!?!? you are an F****** sadist if you don't appricate the time and effort put into this game.

Plus, anyone forget what the first sequels were like? they were BOOKS! So, mabey, put together, the sequels, ALL THE HALO GAMES, mabey, just mabey, TELL A STORY!!

For all you people who have navagation problems: GO PLAY MINECRAFT!
and if you troll THAT for not being navagational easy, it is YOUR OWN FAULT!

okay, I'm sorry but I haven't looked at the forum rules yet, so don't troll me for being impolite.

"Tank beats hunter, Tank beats ghost, Tank beats everything, ha ha ha ha, I could do this all day!"

I'm an enigma wrapped in a riddle, encased in a conundrum, entangled in confusion, shrouded in mystery, contained in a puzzle, obscured with the unknown, masked in a paradox, and lightly sprinkled with intrigue. Deal with it.

Halo 1 was a great game considering when it was made. It's an original xbox game, so it is far from perfect, but it set the stage for a truly epic video game series.

Halo CE is perfect. You are just unbelievably retarded if you can't see the giant arrows telling you where to go. And if a door is locked, you should probably look for one that is open. Durr.

I don't think you should compare the series games to each other look at them as a stand alone title nothing more. Don't go saying Reach was better because it looked fancy and had online that's because Reach is a entirely different game. I have to admit I don't like reach but I like CE a lot but it has flaws but their minor flaws most of them are the players fault. Also side note Halo CE wasn't "Pretty new for video games" the first one was made in 1942.

"Don't mess with Jeff's little peeps" ~ my brother

The campaign does suck ass, but I love it just the same. I hadn't played a lot of games like this when I first tried Halo - I was just mystified by it's vastness and the originality of it's concept. But it is 10 years old... the set their sights high with Halo and with the limited tech at that time, smaller may have been better.

Oh, and if you have to take.baby.steps., you probably need to play on an easier difficulty setting. Halo CE's easy mode practically plays itself.
