Halo was great in 2001, but ever since Halo 2 came out, some people don't play on Halo 1 as often as they used to.

It still eceeds what was availible in 2001, it was like oblivion's graphics to some people when she first came out, and truth be-told, thge graphics are still quite fair

i don't know about that, i think a lot of people play halo 2 for the online play. i know for a fact most of my friends have played the halo 1 single player more then halo 2's.

as for me, if halo 1 multi player went live. i would be playing it more then halo 2 online.

Halo 1 is the best game of all time.I wish bungie would have considered if it ain't broke don't fix it before creating halo 2.I would buy Halo 1 if it were live also and I would play it non stop on live because it is the best FPS to date.Halo 2 seemed like it was created by sony and it lacked all the things that made Halo 1 so great.

Saying halo made by Sony is like saying hitler was the angel of racial tolerance(no offence intended to anyone).

If halo was Live, I would play it even more than I do now. It was, and probabyl always will be, the best FPS of all time.

i don't know if saying halo 2 feels like it was made by soney is quite how i would put it, but i know what you are trying to say.

i don't really have words to discribe how let down i felt when i played halo 2. till this date, i still can't figure out how they managed to get halo 2 so wrong, but they did and it left me heart broken.

it did lack all the things that made halo CE so great, but in such a suttle way that i think a lot of people would not have noticed it. i don't even think they noticed it.

Halo CE is the greatest FPS of all time and i dare say in my book, the greatest game of all time.

if they can go back to Halo CE roots for halo 3 then maybe it will be somethng truly special. some how though, i don't think they will. i know halo 3 will be a great first person shooter, but it may stop at being just that.... halo 1 was so much more !

You know Halo was the most amazing game in 2001, even though it was very pricey in Canada for a whopping $79. But now its one of those XBox Greatest hits. It will never be forgotten with its amazing storyline. I personally believe thatif they were to make a Halo 3 the Arc to launch all the Halo's Remotely should be one half on the Planet Earth, and the other half on another Delta Halo, but this Halo is extremly massive, and the flood are everywhereon the rings surface. The Guilty Spark 343 should shut down, and the red Guilty Spark 747 or something should help the MC and Marines stop the Brutes, Heretics, the Prophet Truth I think, and the Machines, which has been commonly encountered on the Covenant side of Halo2. Also The Humans, and Elites, Grunts, and Hunters should form an alliance against the opposing Jackals, Stingers, Flood, Machines, and the Brutes. Maybe this Foreshadowing is the events of the upcoming Halo 3. Although I would not like to see the Arbiter die. He should be the very first Arbiter to live instead of ending up in the History or past Arbiters. But Halo will never be forgotten in it's long past.

It's the best FPS of all time...next to anything on the Xbox. Even beats Halo 2, that's my say.

10 years from now one most games were forgotten Halo will be reambred for being the most groundbreaking first person shooter in video game history and for making microsoft a force to be reckoned with when the xbox launched in november of 2001 it had Halo therfore making it sell millions of units worldwide without Halo the xbox would have gone the way of the dreamcast....

Are you kidding me, Halo was the reason I got an Xbox, and the only reason i keep it. Besides Halo 2 of course.

Microsofts guidelines :D your question would be a bit like asking why red alert2 had crappy cartoony graphics or why c'n'c renegade was a fps - ea games bought over westwood and they set the guidelines. Its not like bungie deliberately did things, they just didn't have time to consider everything.

He's right though, it doesn't fell anything like the first halo. It felt like someone who didn't know what they were doing made Halo 2.

It's never felt good to play that game. First time i played it, i was dissapointed because i waited over two years. I was expecting it to roxxorz my soxxorz off, but it didn't feel good. I actually felt betrayed, because of all the overhype and the Battle Rifle shoot single shot in the E3 2004 vid.

can't wait til something else comes out...hopefully i won't be dissapointed again. I really like bungie for their game tell up to Halo 2.

but ya...
