It is really really sad that there are so many Halo fans that that have never played the orginal game. In fact i would bet that a large part of this gaming population was not even born when Halo: ce was orginaly released.
Picture a world with No BR'S, No mods, No abilities of any kind. Just you, your pistol, an AR , and a hand full of grenades.
(yes you had over shield and cloke, but these where in lvl pick up , you did not start with those.)
The original was the best... When i was in collage there was no x-box live like you know it today. If you wanted multi-player. You had to plug in another controller, or carry your stuff over to your friends house and play on 2 tv's and hard wire every thing together.... HDMI was not ever around.
We use to huck the xbox up to the computer network and play halo over the Y-Tunnel.. But you kids would not know any thing about that..
