Subject: Who Cares About Campaign

Campaign is a good part to any game, a story driven plot and action packed gameplay are all important for single player. However, the thing that always gives a game staying power is the Multiplayer. I still play Halo 1 XBC, over 4 years after the game came out. I dumped Halo 2 nearly altogether. If Halo 3 wants to be successful, it won't be about the campaign, it will be about Multiplayer. In order to have a successful multiplayer, the original M6D Pistol from Halo 1 has to be in the game, or a weapon with similar dominance (for example, the pistol, but skinned as a two handed rifle so that it can't be dueled) in order to balance gameplay. If Halo 2's Battle Rifle fired single shots and had a slower rate of fire like Halo 1's pistol, and was capable of doing a three-hit kill if all shots were at the head, as well as longer range, Halo 2 would have been much better. Burial Mounds, Coagulation, all the maps that were too big to enjoy without having a sniper would have been sooo much better. Halo 3 needs one thing to be good. The Pistol.

I care about campaign. That's why I'm gonna buy Halo 3, to finish the story. Multiplayer is a side thing for me. I still play campaign over and over and over....etc.

The pistol alone is not what made Halo 1 what it is. There many other factors that Halo 1 had that Halo 2 didn't. I'm sure there is even more than I can think of but you precious pistol is just on on the list of many.

Considering the Halo story is much better than the stock video game, I'd say almost all Halo fans. And more people own Halo for the story than the stupid pistol. If Halo 3 had the old pistol in it, and one crappy story line, people would be pretty mad.

I suppose I came off a bit harsh, I still do repeat the game. But nix multiplayer from Halo 1, and I doubt people would have played that campaign for four years.

Good point. In the end I suppose the multiplayer is what has driven the Halo franchise for so long but it still would not have made it this far without the campaign either.

uhh... don't get me wrong, but I would say halo 2 multiplayer has been pretty darn successful WITHOUT the pistol, and I would very much like to keep it that way.

(I played the campaign once btw... I keep coming back to multiplayer as I did with halo 1, so there I agree with you).

Bravo, bring back Halo 1 MP and physics!!!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing how they screw up the story this time. Halo: CE was definitely a completely different style of story telling. Didn't like it. No imagination, built for kiddies who can't deduce. It was blah at best and ruined the whole campaign for me.

That is my favorite part of the games, mulitplayer is cool, but I love the story and the action within it, learning the new twists and more of the story is what gets me crazy about the next games...

I play the original Halo campaign often. Even after all this time, it feels fresh. Like watching an old, good movie. Multiplayer enhances the game, it does not make it what it is. And a bit harsh? You basically just said "Who gives a crap about this thing that Bungie has spent many years working on?"

Yes, since you know everything. I seriously hope you die. Maybe a car will run you over while you sleep. The pistol is in halo 2, almost exactly as it is in halo Combat Evolved. It is hidden inside the battle rifle, but you are too retarded to grasp that concept. It has 12 trigger pulls to the clip, about the same reload time, 4 headshot kills, as opposed to 3, a 2x scope, and a little slower firing speed.
It is called balancing the game. Why pick up any other weapon if you can always kill someone with a pistol? There is no reason to. By toning down the pistol a tad bit, while putting it in a more realistic shell, The form of a rifle instead of a side arm, Bungie greatly improved the strategic element of halo 2. You can't just run around with the wonder pistol killing everything all the time, you have to change things up. Once again, please die.

Dude im equiped like a small rodent, what would you do?

im sorry if this is repetitive but what is XBC? do you have to pay for it??

Back on topic, I think the campaign on halo 2 wasn't all that great. I like multiplayer better. just an opinion. Im sure Halo 3 will be great though!!!

I wouldn't play Halo if it wasn't campaign, multiplayer is fun but i mean i prefer a good story to some random destruction.

If you ask me spike, if you don't like the first Halo, then why do you like any of the other ones at all?

Sure... If the Halo series didn't have a good story, then why are they making a movie about it?

This is what Bungie thought. You have got to be kidding me. The pistol gave you a chance to counter snipers from across the map, instead of being pinned down and playing the "crouch walk" game. The Battle Rifle doesn't shoot as far as the pistol so it can't be used to counter a sniper.

I couldnt agree more, if they didnt have a complex and enriching story why would they make a movie about it?

I've countered snipers at long distances with the BR succesfully. You just need to hit them once to get them out of zoom. If you rely on the pistol to counter snipers, you need to work on your skills.
