Oh my GOD!! WOW!!! I just cannot believe how awesome this game is even 4yrs on! Halo 2 is nothing like this and never will be, and Bungie guess what...Your about to get some more money coming your way for HALO 1!!

I am soo glad my friend brought the game round its just superb! I mean the only problem is the black bars on the sides but I can live with that.

Overall there is no fps game like Halo 1 and unless Bungie can match that gameplay and audio (which imo the audio is far better than Halo 2) then they should bring out a Halo 3.

Halo 1 rules! Ooorah!

I beat it again on 360 also! It is just mindblowing. I got to thinking about halo and reallized why Halo 2 is sooo different than Halo CE...The covenant in HCE were dreadful beasts bent on destruction of humanity...in H2 they are religous, sophisticated aliens that have leaders and a purpouse and actuallly think instead of just thinking...KILL HUMANS!!!...anyway, I prefer playing Halo rather than Halo 2...and if they made a live version of Halo...I would buy

yap... i still play and love halo CE. i still have my very first copy which i got with my xbox 4 years back and i still play it on my 360.

i used to say it over and over, halo 2's single player was not nearly as good has Halo CE and they are almost 2 different games. if has haloCE multiplayer was on-line it would be insteresting to see how many people would play it over halo 2. i know i would.

bungie have got there work cut out for them, if halo 3 is going to be better in terms of game play. it may look better graphically and have bigger levels, but sometimes i am just not sure... can halo 3 do for next gen gameing what halo 1 did for the last gen.

deep in my heart i want it to, but after halo 2 fell short, i just wonder...

halo CE is the DADDY ! !

the mother of all FPS !

I'm glad that most people agree that Halo 1 is simply a classic game. I know Bungie would like to say that Halo2 was suppose to be a new experience e.t.c. Well it definately was, but Halo 1.5 would have been a better game. As for online, the only reason people play Halo 2 online is because you can't play HCE online. Let's face it, when Microsoft were harping on about X Box Live, and when Bungie first annouced Halo 2, what were really looking forward to was playing Halo online. Sadly, we never got that experience. Halo 2 is good, but Halo 1 is better. My biggest fear for Halo 3, apart from whether the gameplay will be as fun as HCE, is whether it will atrtically match HCE. That was my biggest problem with Halo 2, and I will definately be suprised if Halo 3 feels as cool as HCE in terms of art and design.

The REAL Master Chief

Strange halo 2 is causing people to lose interest after a year and Halo 1 lasted years.And probably would have lasted up until today that is if halo 2 had not been created.I remember reading in the xbox magazine that bungie strongly believes in if it ain't broke than don't fix it.Haha.It sure seems like they did what they said

If it isn't broken don't fix it? bungie said that? What a bunch of hypocrites! All I wanted for Halo2 was Halo1 with continued plot, a new enemy, a couple of verhicle variants, a couple of new weapons and online play. But no, they insisted on making it a "proper" sequel by changing just about everything in it: even the grenade throwing, which was perfect in Halo1. That seems to be the problem with Halo2: they fixed the broken bits from Halo1 but they also fixed the bits that weren't broken. Shame. How long will it be before we get a new game as good as Halo CE?

I dont see how bungie could eff up a game as perfect as halo 1. Halo 1 was easily the best game I have ever played and waiting for halo 2 to come out was hell. All my friends and I skipped school and played h2 on nov. 9th and after playing for a while it just didnt have the same feel as the original. Unlike halo 1, this so called sequel to it was completely different and took zero skill. It had completely different weapons and physics that allowed my neighbors retarded dog to play like a pro. If bungie was to release a somewhat updated xbox live version of Halo 1 I would love them forever, but until that happens ... f**k you bungie.

Does anyone on here know if there is a way to fix those little black bars down the sides of the game in Halo: CE, like a patch or anything? I can live with it, but I would rather that they weren't there.

none of you can be serious? halo 2 is in every way superior to halo CE...
for one, they fixed the lame multiplayer, yes, it was great for its time, but all a mu-f**ka had to do was rock the pistol, cause it was so powerful, also, the assult rifle is weak, WEAK, a rifle that loses in combat to a pistol at medium to long range isnt a very good weapon at all... another thing, the grenades????? are u retarded, is the master cheif a professional quarter back? if not, he shouldnt be able to throw a grenade 150 yards, things an halo 2 are more real, the physics are better, an the sound is fine. I cant respect someone who doesnt give credit where credit is due, you all need to settle down.....

but, halo 1's campaign is more fun, mostly cause i dont like playin as the arbiter....




one more thing, the guy who posted above me said bungie is a bunch of hypocrites?.... are u 10years old? do u even know what that word means? or do u like usin it out of context for fun? plus everythin in his post is retarded, he jus lists off things halo 2 has done, that he says he wishes halo 2 would have done?

I did, about 3 times but only on certain levels, especially Assualt On Control Room, i believe it is due to the over heating of the xbox 360, the twin fans arn't on when you play an xbox game, only when an x360 game is played you can hear them.

I still like Halo:CE to Halo 2, Halo 2 is not as gripping as Halo CE. Halo2 also has a strange game engine called Havok. To be honest, the graphics on characters are improved but the weapons seem much smaller, i.e. compare the plasma pistol and you'll know what i mean.

It's evident from that post that you have never played Halo:CE's multiplayer competetively.

Or you have but you just sucked.

If you are going to start an argument please note that facts are more valued than opinions.

And you tried to bring realism into your "argument" with that grenade remark. Yet you don't mention the countless features that are in no way realistic in Halo 2.

Good job mate

Haha, boy are YOU uninformed. You say Halo 2 is superior in every way and then go on to list only 3 weak examples which are just SO easy to shoot down. All you had to do is rock the pistol? Nope, although it certainly helped. You can get away with mastering the pistol and nothing else in the same way you can get away with mastering the BR in Halo 2... not completely, but it helps. And although the pistol may have been a 3 shot kill, it actually took skill to make those 3 shots, unlike the 4 bursts from the BR with it's comedy auto-aim (crotch shots registering as headshots anyone?) The Assault Rifle was fine as a weapon, the pistol may have beaten it at longer range but not closer up. What, you think the SMG is better? Ahaha, even I had to laugh at that idea. Not that it matters whether the pistol beats the rifle or the other way round, realism doesn't matter a toss in a video game. Although.. let's say it did... is the chief a quarter back? No, he's a 7 foot tall cyborg super soldier I think he'd be able to throw quite a distance don't you? The physics were not better, they were just more 'realistic' - ie boring. You just have to realize that Halo:CE was a fantastic game, and Halo 2 is not a perfect one - you are allowed to have your own opinion on which is better so don't get your panties in a bunch because some people enjoy Halo:CE more, ok?

I'm not even going to bother argueing about my use of the word "hypocrites". If you don't get it, forget it. Halo2 on legendary is harder than Halo 1, and I do find the Assault rifle too weak as a weapon in multiplayer. But it still felt like a bloody good gun to shoot, instead of that rubbish BR, which feels like a Game Boy trying to simulate a pop gun.

You're totally wrong about the grenades. The Master Chief is suppose to be a super cybernetically enhanced marine. Considering he can flip a tank with his little toe in Halo 1 AND Halo 2, I would expect him to throw a grenade 200 yards. In Halo 2, it seems he just manages to throw it where he won't get caught in the blast radius.

And as for the sound...If you've played Halo2 in surround sound, you probably won't see anything wrong with it. But if you've played it in stereo, you'll find it weak it compared to Halo 1. I know, I know, when Bungie made Halo 2 they focused on the surround sound. Sure it sounds good in surround sound, but it's not really a step forward for the overall sound if it means the stereo is left as rubbish. (and you'll probably find a high percentage of X Box owners have stereo).

Of course the Halo 2's multiplayer is better, but only because it's online. the Maps in Halo CE look cooler, feel cooler and are more fun to play. 90% of all the maps in Halo 2 are quite frankly crap, when you compare them to Halo 1's. And I hate to say this, but I even prefer the graphics in Halo1. Yes, the characters are shamefully blocky compared to todays standards but the textures are much more convincing. The surfaces look hard and solid, instead of Halo2's plastic and tin feel. The reflections are much more visible and realistic, and the shine isn't reduced to a mere lens-flare effect. And it seemed Bungie actually took the time to give the Covenant some proper animation, and character in halo1. In Halo 2, they fail to convince me that they're anything more then just a bunch of programs that have been told which line to run on and which dirction they should pretend to shoot in. I know what you're going to say: "they ARE just a bunch of programs", but the point is they're suppose to act with some form intelligence, even if it is artificial.

It's good of you to admit that Halo1's campaign is more fun, but you'll also need to admit that there's much more wrong with Halo 2 than playing as that f.....g alien.

Look dude, why don'y you start your own thread where you and your friends can rant about how fantastic the SMG is?

Um, he used the word right dude, the question is, do you know what hypocrite means? Here's a definition for you if you don't:
hypocrite

n : a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold.

Bungie said they don't like fixing things that aren't broken. But in Halo 2 they changed EVERY SINGLE WEAPON! There were fine, except maybe the pistol, but they made it almost unusable in Halo2. What was wrong with the Sniper Rifle's 2x zoom? Or how the Plasma Pistol could lower you shields and kill you when it's overcharged.

In 5 years, I'll probably still be playing Halo 1, but not Halo 2.

Go to your 360's console settings and switch the viewing mode to 480p Widescreen. That'll let you play Halo without the black bars, but it stretches the image to compensate for the change. Halo was done in 4:3, so it lacks a true widescreen mode. Stretchy Widescreen's all you can get.

Man whoever posted that -blam!- about Halo 2 being better should go stand in the middle of the road. How is Halo 2 better. Oh I suppose a shotgun that kills from 2 inches away and having a sword that doesn't have energy and having a Battel Rifle with riduculous auto aim is a good game? Ok the only problems with Halo:CE's physics is that if you crash into something it bounces off of the wall and thats it. I suppose that even though you are a cyborg soldier enchanced with energy shields it isn't gonna protect you from a 100 or so foot fall. And also how did the AR suck? Ok compare to the SMG. SMG ammo capacity is 180, and shoots 5mm rounds. Almost next to the magnum in -blam!-tiness. The AR. AR ammo capacity is 600 and fires 7.62mm rounds. Way more damage. If you also didn't notice the pistol fires 12.7mm rounds and the AR 7.62. Which is bigger and which is gonna do more. I also highly dobut you can beat legendary in one hour. No matter what difficulty you're on the game takes more than one hour. It's not like you can just teleport to one end of the level unless if you have a mod for that too? Only things Halo 2 has over Halo:CE is the graphics (halo's are boxy and it does annoy the hell out of me sometimes), the AI is slightly better, and it has online play. Otherwise Halo:CE defeats Halo 2 in every aspect. To play Halo:CE actually takes skill and for Halo 2 none at all.

you took the words out of my mouth. that if nothing else would be my 1 single wish for halo3. the old grenades and the old pyhsics or throwing system.

i can't think of any other game were the grenades were such fun to throw and use or could be used so tactically yet with such simplicity. i can understand why they changed the damage for the online play. in the single play though, they were not nearly as much fun.

true fun... real fun... starting on the "assult on the control room " as the first door opens you throw a frag then open up with the assult rifle. walk into the corridor, picking up the plasma nades from the dead grunts and elites.

the corridor makes a left turn but as you approuch you hear the sound of grunt feet. with out a thought or precious time lost trying to calculate the right angle to throw the next nade, you toss it and bounce it off the wall right were it sounds like the grunts are. the next thing you hear is a grunt shout Duck !.. your pad shakes as the room fills with the sound, the deep rumble of your well placed frag going off.

then comes the sound of death, all you see are the weapons once held by the little XXXX come flying round the corner. All is silent ,you proceed to the next corridor, passed the blue blood splattered walls !

then the next corner, another grunt, he turns and jumps at the sight of you but before he can pull his trigger, its a stick. again, no thought, no time wasted trying to get the angle right. just lightning fast reflex. the way a marrine would react in war, the way a spartan would react in a combat zone. he runs, lighting up the corridor with the blue glow of plasma.
more death, more grunt bodies, more nades to pick up. not 1 dead, not 2, all 3 and you have not reached the first room yet !

what game plays like that ! thats halo ! thats what makes it so great... and you have not got to the first room yet !
