No. I can imagine in 2001 it would be a huge deal. But people should stop judging it like it's 2001 and maybe think that although they still love it to bits and great memories of it, it comes no where near the standard of modern games.
The thing Halo CE did right that no other proceeding Halo game did, except possibly Reach, is make every weapon in the game powerful but only useful for certain situations. I remember playing The Library, and I had to make do with the weapons I had sometimes; they weren't useless, but perhaps not optimal. It made you feel like a Spartan in the field who has to make the best of what he or she has without feeling like some weapons are just awful to use.
Halo 3 particularly screwed this up. The pistol, and assault rifle were complete garbage on higher difficulties. In CE, the AR could be your best friend for shear rate of fire and clip size. Bungie did an incredible job with weapons in CE, knowingly or not, and managed to screw it up for the rest of their games.
May I say that I completely disagree
All weapons are overpowered in Halo CE, and you can use any weapons to kill any enemy. I can use any weapon from assault rifles to plasma pistols to kill hunters, and any weapon works against the flood. There is absolutely no thought or strategic element to the Halo CE weapon sandbox
And you could not be more wrong...
- Snipers have next to no effect on the Flood, Banshees and Wraiths.
- The Assault Rifle is extremely underpowered, it does next to nothing against Elites unless fired in 3-shot bursts. I'd love to see you take on a Zealot/Ultra with an Assault Rifle...
- The Shotgun was only effective at very short-range, it lacked the ridiculous accuracy of Halo 2's.
- The Needler was only useful with the supercombine, it would only really harm Grunts with a few individual shots.
By your logic, I can approach a Wraith and take it out with a Plasma Pistol on Legendary. There are strategic options, you're just trying to find any excuse to justify your hatred for CE.
I agree on snipers
I have killed tons of elites with the assault rifle
The shotgun kills flood from miles away
The needed tracks even when you arent aiming at the enemy
The plasma pistol is ridiculously overpowered. Yes, its not the best against vehicles but it destroys hunters
