I just hope Bungie returns to Halo 1's style of gameplay, instead of the Halo 2 noobfest.

well you can now play H1 online so i think it can be better

  • 05.10.2006 6:59 AM PDT

Of course it can be better. Why bother making it if it otherwise.

NO. No recycling. That's not bungie's style and it's not good for the series. I for one won't be happy if it's Halo 2.1

So primarily what you want is... Halo 1.

Well okay. Go play it. I myself am hoping for Halo 3.

Hell yeah. I'm sick of all the people saying they want all the Halo 1 weapons and maps back, the Halo 1 style of gameplay, and a few new campaign levels. The only reason you think Halo 2 is a "noobfest" is because it has Xbox Live. If Halo 1 had had it, you would most likely have experienced the same amount of "noobs" as you think you do now. Halo 2 built and improved on Halo 1, as Halo 3 will build and improve on Halo 3. Personally, I can't wait.

Halo 1 Rocks, don't ever knock it.

It won't be to hard to beat Halo 2's insainly unbalanced and flawed gameplay, along with it's short and incomplete storyline. The real question is how can it be better than Halo 1, which is still going strong WITHOUT supported online multiplayer. The fact that MC is holding the classic AR and not the BR or the SMG is a sign of hope that bungie is returning to the roots of the Halo series and realised what they did wrong with Halo 2.

And remember, no matter how good you think Halo 2 is, it didn't sell 7 million copies of itself, Halo sold 7 million copies of Halo 2.

As i watched the video i got excited, but afterwards, i went online was playing with some friends, and started thinking how can a game be any better? So many people play halo 2 now, a year and a half later. no game has been this popular. you may say halo 1, but it wasnt maybe because there was no online. but with halo 2 my firends and i have like 3 lan parties a month, and then a small one every wednesday.

The purpose of this thread, is do you think halo 3 will be as fun (not necesarily as popular) as halo 2 is. oops, meant this to focus mainly on mp, cuz thats what i will be playing most.


reword your post will halo3 be better than halo1? thats what you should ask...and no...

Personally I hope it's what the people at halo2sucks.com wanted Halo2 to be and from what I've seen there is a good chance that it may be heading back torwards what they wanted with the revival of the AR.

Oh and Halo does exist online with Halo pc and xbox connect


I wa mentioning that the xbox version has no official supported multiplayer. I'm well aware ofxbc and Halo pc(which is very well done if you usethe expanded fov mod)

As far as Halo2sucks view on Halo 2, they only want what's best for the Halo series to stay fun for everyone, not just the casual gamer. Most people usually just assume they are a site made to bash Halo 2(some of there memebers are, but not a signifigant number), but there simply giving their views on what would make Halo 2 a more balanced game both skill wise and gameplay wise.

I have pretty much accepted that Halo 3 will have a more intense storyline that Halo 2.

If Bungie is able to combine the BEST aspects of Halo CE and Halo 2 into both the campaign AND multiplayer...I think this could quite be the BEST game in the series.

But note there's a lot of "if's" and "best's" in there...

I think that once Halo's story finally gets wrapped up by Halo 3, Halo 2's story will seem a lot better.

I mean, c'mon. How many of us were mainly disappointed wtih it because of the cliffhanger ending?

Everything will get tied up...yay.

actually you guys, i've seen the xbox 360 cover for halo 3 and if you recall from halo 1, the silent cartographer, the very beginning when you storm the beach, the cover of the box for halo 3 is master chief charging with an assault rifle with pelicans and marines behind him
http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/734/734817.html
go there and scroll to the right, tell me what you think

This is awesome. You'd think you would have given up after Halo 2 was different. Halo 3 is goign to be on a different system... so you can definitely expect MORE changes. Go play Halo 1. Sure, I would like to see some remakes of a couple of my favorite old maps, but Halo 1 is still there. Damn.

Winging it? I don't know...I still just get the feeling that when Bungie went about making Halo 2, there were way too many ideas they had it could be, especially b/c the expectations were so high. So, I'm still asserting that at some point someone on Bungie just really basically said, "guys, there is just too much here to put into one game...a game we have to get out in about a year."

Thus, Halo 3 was born. I'm not rushing to judgment that Bungie is full of money-grubbers...none of that crap that people always speculate (Microsoft...well, yeah they are kinda). I'm thinking that they did this b/c they envisioned a finale that was more spectacular than what could be envisioned on the Xbox alone. Hell, I don't mind! With THAT trailer!?! I'll take a Halo 3 thank you very much!

Umm, which halo 2 are you talking about? Halo 2 took a suprising amount of skill once everything settled in. Once you passed that certain level, it took just as much, if not more skill and practise than Halo 1. Two brilliant games, currently waiting for the 3rd.

That's why I think its quite possible for Halo 3 to meet most of our expectations. Simply b/c of the fact that probably a lot of the concept going into it (minus of course the hardware Bungie gets to play around with) has to do with a lot of the many ideas they had for Halo 2 and got scrapped to meet their deadline. November 9th, anyone? New weapons, new enemies, new vehicles, bigger environments...a lot of these were simply ideas for Halo 2 and couldn't really be utilized to their full potential in the game development.

Now I think they are being utilized, which makes the potential for this game great...I'm very excited...I've not lost faith in you Bungie.

I am an artist. The sniper rifle is my brush, the bullet my paint, and your head my canvas. My only regret is that I am the only one who ever sees my great works. I am not a sniper, I am a shadow in darkness, a whisper in the wind. I am everywhere, I am nowhere. You can't see me, but I. . . can. . . see. . . you. . .

I guess I am one of the few who believed that H2 was everything I had hoped it would be. I know that it is 10 times better than Halo CE. For anyone who disagrees with me, just look at the features: dual wielding, online play, no health packs, new vehicles, better graphics, more locations, vehicle boarding, etc. Stop whining because you want the AR or the old pistol (which would make for some extreme noobage online), because it's not going to happen. If you want to keep bashing Bungie because you keep getting beat online, go ahead. Just keep in mind that you and everybody else know that Halo 2 was better all around. Just like I know that Halo 3 is going to be better all around than Halo 2. It will have better graphics since it is on the 360, and it is still being made by Bungie, which means that it will be the best game possible.
