of course the graffics are better in H2 but I like the way HCE plays. for example the larger battles in missions like 2 betrayals

It will only turn into a flame war if someone's stupid and turns it into one by insulting someones oppinion or harassing another member. As long as they don't do that, it should be fine, and for those who do, they will be dealt with accordingly.
Anyways, back on subject...In my oppinion, halo 1 is much better than halo 2 for the following reasons (At least, in my oppinion):
-In the halo 1 campaign, I felt as though I was on a mission...The levels felt more "real" and it seemed everything had a purpose, however, with halo 2 I just felt that the storyline was more confusing...for lack of a better word. It just didn't feel the same, it felt unfinished, as did many aspects in halo 2. BTW...Did anyone notice there was no great battle for Earth that was expected of halo 2? It's because when M$ gained Bungie, they set a deadline and Bungie had to comply, so they were forced into rushing it (at least that's the best of my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong, although I'm sure it didn't help that we were screaming for a release date either).
-The multiplayer of halo 1 I feel is many many times better than halo 2s. First of all, the physics of halo 1 just feel much smoother and seem easier to deal with than the jumpy almost glitchy physics of halo 2. Id rather have to lead the target a bit than to glitch through someone and have them melee me from behind after i get bluescreened. Also, The weapons had a set respawn in halo 1, and both teams had an equal chance of setting up for the next powerup/weapon respawn. However, in halo 2, you either have to wait untill someone drops the powerup/weapon or uses it up. It's much harder and much more random to set up for the next weapon and takes out an entire skill factor out of halo. The spawn points of halo 1 were much better, you could control where you could spawn or not spawn your teammate, and many times you could find where the enemy was going to spawn and set up accordingly. Again, much of that skill factor was taken out of halo 2.
-In halo 1, unless both boxes were modded and using the same mods (with the exception of modded box names and glass walls) there was no cheating with mods. However in halo 2, there is the massive cheating over XBL all the time. I know that there is something being done about it, and Bungie is trying their hardest and doint what they can do, but it's not enough, and unfortuneately probably never will be. Sure there were many glitches in halo 1, but they weren't as exploitable. Infact, many of the glitches such as backpack reloading and double meleeing are almost just as natural as if someone had put them in the game on purpose.

I'm not in any way saying that halo 2 is a bad game and everyone should stop playing it, infact I think that halo 2 is better than just about everygame with the exception of halo 1. It's just that I hope that Bungie takes more time with halo 3 (if it's going to be made, which I'm nearly positive it will be) and makes it into a game unlike halo 2 and more of a game that incorporates more of a feel like that of halo 1. Id rather have to wait a couple more months/years than to have a rushed game like halo 2 be made again.

Actually the last couple I can remember weren't flame wars at all.

As for my preference... Halo.

Halo 2 is good, but I couldn't play that for half as long as I played Halo. I tried I really did...it just didn't work.

Now multiplayer, thats a different story. I find both to be awesome multiplayers, and xbox live is the only differenece in each for enjoyablity.

This is the short, succinct post on my views. I have a bigger post that I would normally post, but I can't find the word file that I saved it to.

Ok since its officially safe to speak: I don't really miss anything from halo1... and when go back to it everything feels really screwed up to me.

- My friend says "hey, grunts_r_us, jump in!" then he reverses his warthog at 2k's and splatters me.
- I try getting a weapon from underneath a shade... but x makes me get in the turret! Now I have to bash b for about 5 minutes. grrrr.
- I can't take weapons from allies, instead I have to wait for them to get killed.
- On legendary the game overloads from the large number of enemies/bullets.
- There are so few weapons and less vehicles that you can drive.

Anyway I know that if I don't like it I stop playing it... I'm not going to go and whine about it, claiming my opinion is fact or make a site badmouthing it for the publicity... its still the second best game on xbox.

If you've stopped playing halo2 because you think that the autoaim has more control over your actions than you do, or the multiplayer is "unfair" then go back and play it! I hate ea games because they screwed up the command and conquer series, but I've been playing generals recently and almost passed the campaign for the three different teams even though I consider the game a disgrace. - still hate ea though, they sold out westwood :( those -blam!- biastards!!!!!!

Overall halo2 is an improvement... play the game... snipe a few grunts... hijack a few wraiths... decapitate an elite with dual smgs. Millions of other people enjoy the game, why don't you?

I liked the sense of speed in Halo over that of Halo 2.
I liked the graphics in Halo 2 over that of Halo.
The gameplay is very similar in both games, but the needler seemed more useful in Halo multiplayer for finding people at a distance, whereas in Halo 2, it's completely useless by itself, but killer when dual wielded.


Meh, I lean more towards Halo for it's originality and speed and fall damage. I want fall damage and the speed back and I'd have two near perfect games on the shelf.

It all depends on what aspect your talking about... i LOVE the halo 1 campaign... but halo 2's multiplayer is better (in my opinion) so naturally since ive spent more time in Halo 1 campaign than Halo 2 multiplayer... I Vote Halo 1

I just put both away and play Marathon and Myth until my relatives come over to play it. Then I play Halo 2 for multiplayer and Halo 1 for campaign. As a result, I don't prefer either or. I just don't care.

-TGP-

Although yes, I do get a bit annoyed when I've wounded my uncle to near death, he runs away for a second and then he's on equal ground to me again. That's my only complaint with Halo 2.

I like Halo 2 better but Halo 3 would be good for everyone if Bungie would just add............more options. If you want fall damage? Turn it on or off. Do you want Halo 1 style weapons or Halo 2 weapons? Turn on one or the other. Do you want to use the old shielded way in your custom or Halo 2's recharge style? Turn off or on. I think that options are the greatest thing ANY developer can give their fans. It makes A LOT less complaining.

i perfer the weapon balance in haloCE. i find the pistol sometimes a little nagging on my concience, but its not too bad, especially in retrospect of 2. plus the plasma pistol is so much more fun in CE. multi/camp...

i just might go play a little campaign from 2. i really enjoy the new hunters and drones, even if i think the brutes didnt bring a thing to the game. replayably, the first is better, but some scenes in the second are action packed- tho never as hard as the end of 2 betrayals.

changed my mind. im playing HL2

Why are you ppl trying to corrupt the minds of others.That video,the person who made it moded the Halo 2.I know becuase I tried everything he did (not including the obuise ending), the game doesn't have so much as auto aim as aim assaist.And about half of the people who hate Halo 2 are marons.While the other half are smart. Oh one 3rd of them hate Halo 2 but they play it.


I think one misconception that some have made is that if you like one, the other one automatically is the bottom of the pit. That is definately not true, atleast to the knowledge I have seen.

I myself have been labled as a "Halo 2 hater" because I argued why I liked Halo better. Thats akin to me calling grunts_r_us a hater because he said some minor flaws that he perceived. Actually, I agree with everything he said for Halo...well not the overloading on Legendary part....bu everything else. He even forgot the sometimes frustration of the "no boarding" in Halo, which I find to be a nuisence. It just is that I would much gladly play Halo over Halo 2.

If you look at my games on Live alone, you would see that I'm not a "hater" at all. In fact I love Halo 2 whenever its put up against almost any other game I can think of. Unless its Halo vs. Halo 2, Halo 2 wins almost every time. If Halo had Live this would not be the case, and I believe the multitude of those how "hate" halo 2 but play it would feel the same way.

p.s. Goatboyz...you sorta spelled idiot wrong in you sig, and the spelling gave it a reverse effect. Most spelling mistakes can be overlooked, but that one is pretty bad. This is not supposed to be an insult, but a help.

Well legendary did overload once on the t&r... just in the second bay where you release the marines :S I do notice a fair bit of lag in comparison to halo2, but when I play halo2 I'm complaining about my weapons disappearing (of course you can pick a weapon up and drop it to extend the timer on it, but usually a bunch of snipers are camping that particular weapon) I think I'd rather have a pack of rockets than a few bullet holes in a wall... curse bad code streamlining!

Ok where were we?

i really have to say halo1 because in the second one there is alot of problems like gernade throwing you really have to arch it to get it somewhere but halo1 you don't have to arch it much. another reason halo1 is better because the vheicles don't explode and in halo2 it's really annoying when like your playing CTF online the vheicles get blown up by the other team and it's really annoying. anyways i have other reasons but i don't feel like naming them
