Just like those people who watch a sequel and don't get it, because they haven't seen the first movie.... annoying...

Probably 'cause it's newer. Probably think that it's better, which ain't the case.

Or they're too lazy to play the first.

To be absolutely honest, Halo 2 was the very first Halo game I ever played.

However, I have grown to love and appreciate Combat Evolved because without it Halo 2 wouldn't make as much sense, now would it? I like both games very much.

lol

Your friends probably dont play Halo2 for it's story then. Just shooting and multiplayer.

Because they have the right to that why. It's not like it's a law to not play halo 2 after not playing halo ce.

Becayse they probably didn't get the chance. I've played Halo:CE before Halo 2. I still prefer Halo:CE over Halo 2.

But, a lot of these people come on these forums and make grand statements about things (Halo CE pistol springs violently to mind) that they don't even know about first hand. They simply repeat what they've heard others say.

There was a guy about a year ago that made a thread about why the Halo CE pistol was too powerfull. It was long, he had all kinds of examples, ext. Some of the things he brought up though threw up a red flag. I could tell he didn't really know Halo CE. I put pressure on him and finally got him to admit that he'd only EVER played Halo CE for 20 minutes at a LAN party.

I've played Halo CE online for some time...still do on weekends. I've been to three Halo CE tournaments. I'm no pro. Never made a dime, just did it for fun. The only people I've EVER heard complaining about the old pistol are those that don't play it. Those of us that played it, loved it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I do a co-op with a friend, we always do Halo 1, THEN Halo 2. Even if they REALLY want to play number two. Listen, you play Halo 1, or you don't play Halo at all!

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

Origionally, I played halo 2 first, and I was like that, always wanting to play halo 2, well, basically because we were playing xbl (It was my cousin's game), anyway, after about 2 years or something (never got to visit cousin during that time), I got halo pc, and I loved it to death, then got halo 2, and was disappointed (we never played campaign when I was at my counsin's house), since I've got halo pc, and we have to lead our shots usually, i'd feel sorry for anyone I come up against when I get to play halo xbox some time, they'd die before they live.

Hey, stare, we should play some XBC sometime, eh?

Personally, though I started with Halo 2, I think that the first game takes more skill. But Halo 2 blew Combat Evolved's graphics out of the water.

alot of my friends do it just because of live, or other things. half of them haven't even gone through campaign *smacks head*. one of the first things i do with these games is you play through the campaign as like a training mode (in halo you get the bounes of a great story, and MC of course...) THEN you play multiplayer...people who do it backwards, i don't see your thinking all too well on that...
