Mine would probably be the storyline I loved the plot and storyline, it is and will always be so interesting. So what is your favorite thing about halo?

The feel. All the other Halo games gave good vibes, but CE felt just so...right.

not sure about you folks but i liked the Halo: Combat Evolved sniper the best (sniper kills in the other Halo games are easy, 2 shots)
so getting those headshots felt more satisfying, saved you 3 bullets. the sniper rifles long barrel looked unique and badass IMO, it didn't look as awesome or intimidating in Halo 2, more so in Halo 3 when BUNGiE kept making the barrel shorter

guess that fits into the bigger is better concept

Gameplay was simple: Two weapons, melee, and a sack full of grenades. Bungie also didn't rely on forcing you to overcome your obstacles by freezing you in place while you knocked down aircraft with a stinger or sniped someone from a mile away.
CE gave you a big environment and the freedom to tackle an object however the hell you wanted.

I could shotgun a wraith if I wanted to. Or, affix a sticky to a banshee that came in to strafe me.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

The LAN parties with those huge controllers.

Amen. Let's not forget about EMP. ;) It made weapons feel much more powerful. The Needler was the most creative Halo weapon ever. It was so unique. Now all we get are clones and copies. It's just not the same. It's tragic that the needler is so nerfed now (yes even in H3).

RIP needler that did amazing splash damage.

The needler used to be my favorite weapon, but halo 3 ruined it for me...

H3 can never be compared to CE.

I meant it chronologically. CE it had great splash damage. In Halo 2 its kill time was crazy with dual wielding. In halo 3 it is useless.

And let's not forget about the Banshee. It was a monster in CE and pretty manageable in H2. But in H3, it's garbage.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

The multiplayer. Basically the sandbox ad consistency in gameplay. I can throw a grenade at one spot in the air, and make the sniper fly into my hands and it will be the same every time. No random physics like Halo 2/3/Reach. Everything is just perfect. The CE pistol, the AR, the sniper...man I miss Halo CE.

Yeah, but better than Reach's which is OP. I still like Halo 3 banshee coz it took more skill to dodge shots. CE was the most balanced and fair.

Admittedly, H3's Banshee was ok in mp. It was much more preferable than using the extremely op Hornet. Exit launching with the Banshee was my favorite thing to do.

I just love the universe that surrounds Halo. That and the scenery and landscape of Halo. It seems like a picture-perfect world.
