I remember a feeling in CE I never really felt in H2: being alone.
Sure, the chief is alone in Halo 2 a couple of times... but remember walking/driving around on the level Halo and you faintly hear the low rumble of covenant drop-ships?
Or like the beginning of the level Guilty Spark.
If you're ever alone in halo 2, you always have the expectation of somebody around the corner. CE, the feeling of abandonment grows throughout the entire game.
That's part of what made me feel like a real Super-soldier that the Master Chief is, the feeling that despite the overwhelming odds, you can conquer the enemy. In Halo 2, I often felt like just another member of the marine corps, constantly being around other marines that somehow felt vital to my survival. Halo CE you really felt like a lone wolf Spec-Ops soldier, whereas in Halo 2 the combat was too based around the team.
