I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Halo CE=H3 Single-player
Halo 2=Multiplayer
Halo 3=Halo CE Single-player,Halo 2 Multplayer,and new stuff on Halo 3 for both SP and MP.


I do not agree with that at all.


How could Halo 1 have Halo 3's campaign mode in it? Let alone similer.

So you want Halo 3 to have the exact same campaign mode in Halo 1?

Your logic confuses me.

Recon just put you in your place. A true fan would embrace the Halo series, not just a single part. You are not a "True" good player. You are one of those arrogant kids that whine about everything and insult the fan base. Halo is better off with out you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Now that's wrong. A true fan would embrace the series? How? How can you be a fan of something you have not played yet? That is ridiculous. If anything a 'true' fan of Halo could well have been disappointed by all the needless changes and the discarding of so much that made it unique. What you are referring to is a blind fan, not caring what happens so long as the name 'Halo' is on the cover. So don't be so quick to judge, is what I'm saying.


I'd have to agree with that.

Halo 3 should be its own game. I pesonally would not want such a linaer campaign like Halo 1 has, when you could take advantage of the 360s power to make it better. This is Halo. Not Madden. The sequals should not be complete remakes.

I'm not refferring to a "blind fan" that doesn't care what happens as long as it's name is "halo" on the cover. I will go further into what I meant. Here's an example:
I am a football fan of Team X. In the past "team X" has done well and won a few championships. Now as time goes on, changes need to be made. I, as a fan, don't have to agree with all the changes made to the team and can debate freely about my opinion. But a "true fan" will not turn his back on Team X, regardless of what changes have been made.

In short, I guess I am just tired of reading threads about how "Halo Ce is better than Halo 2. And that if the game doesn't go back to Halo CE then I'm not going to buy it." In my opinion, that's not a true fan. You can disagree with elements of the game, but when you turn your back on the team, you are no longer a fan.

I've played halo CE every day for years. literally every day. I STILL play halo CE.

I've also played halo 2, and in my opinion, halo 2 is overall more enjoyable than halo CE. and as a sequel, it was a major success.

as far as sequels go, halo 2 was a success. most seuquels just add better graphics, a few weapons/enemies, and new environments. halo added gameplay features, graphics, enemies, AI, weapons, etc. etc. etc.

I think that people believe that halo 2 has better mp is because of xbox live. if any of you had an friends and halo ce lan then you migt see why halo ce is so much better. Also halo ce took some skill cause the person with the better skills won in hhalo 2 some newb could dual wield and just hold down the trigger and win.

That arguement seems invalid at the point of the pistol being a 3 headshot kill, also including a scope, when the magnum has much more balanced power and range. This stuff has balance, so you better learn to cope.

I love the Halo 1 multiplayer, much more than the Halo 2 multiplayer. Does that mean that it is better? No. It is just my opinion. Truely, there are some things that really bother me because i am so used to the in halo2. Like crouching to dodge the motion tracker, or the lack of fall damage, or the lunge on the melees. Those were great things, and while fall damage should still be marginally in, these features were better than their equivalents in Halo 1. I want Halo 3 to take the best of both worlds and go above and beyond with them. The on big things i want is the return of either the pistol or some weapon exactly like it except with a different skin. That would make me very happy.

Kind of what this guy said, buy not exactly. Not really obsessed with the "skill" of Halo:CE more than the gameplay balance and sense of accomplishment. See, In CE, there was a reason practice to get better. You could eventually beat those who were pwning you on a regular basis. Well, in Halo 2, its a race to the power weapons and "combo" as to who wins, regardless of time put into the game. I, personally do not want a "race to weapons" game. I want Halo 3 to be its own game, but it wouldn't hurt if they had some nostalgic hints to the first game. Nobody who appreciated good competition likes cheap ways of winning

It's not a race to power weapons for all, I can kill whoever with whatever weapon I have nearby, whether it be a plasma rifle or a pistol, I still kill people with those "power weapons" reguardless. Don't generalize the Halo 2 multiplayer experience.

As long as the shotgun, needler, and medium range rifle, along with the weapon spawn system, are fixed, then I will be happy. Hopefully grenades will have similar fuse, blast radius, and overall effect as Halo CE grenades.

balanced meaning what? that a little kid who is playing for his first time could kill an experienced player by taking two weapons and hokding down the trigger. were is the balance in that. People who hate halo ce are the ones that sucked with the pistol and therefore could never win. Then halo 2 came around and it is praised because no longer will you lose can we can duel wield and point and shoot! Harah Halo 2 rocks cause it makes me feel skilled when really all i do is hold down the trigger and run straight at the guy. YES!!!!!! No more losing because i cant aim!

If you get killed by a little kid duel wielding what you suggest will be SMGs, you really need to practice at Halo 2, lack at skills, and go back to your Halo CE Pistol. It also seems you subjigated yourself as a little kid? It may not be right, but then I see your opinion invalid as it stands.

Yeah, Halo: CE rapes Halo 2... in every possible way. Bring the format of Halo 3 back to the original ways of Halo: CE. Stop listening to idiots who never played CE, and listen to real players who know Halo 2 was the biggest failure for a sequel (Campaign & Matchmaking). Listen to all those letters from halo2sucks.com, and truely work on making Halo 3 somewhat of a good game. You might gain a lot of your true good Halo players back.

Just shut the -blam!- up. If you do not like what Bungie does with the game, just dont buy it.

Considering its my opinion(not fact), and my experience, I can generalize all I want, as it is all I have seen. The worst case being Beaver Creek

Do whatever you want, but your actions may affect the validity of your opinion, so just be careful, I'm off to play Chrome HOUNDS.

I am not a little kid but i not saying i lose to them just that they can kill. Even with amazing br skills duel wielding can still beat you in close range. with the pistol you had a chance against any weapon. Just saying bungie did not design halo 2 to satisfy their hardcore fans they do what all companies do. Make a game for the masses so that is soo easy to play that any body could play and win. Halo ce and halo 2 were made for two totally different type of gamers.
