Let's get it own!

Ok I've been playing LIVE on Halo 2 for like 2 years straight now.
My router is fried and that means no Xbox LIVE. So just cuz I haven't played it in so long I put in Halo just because... AND DUDE!!!! I had more fun playing the campaign in the first two levels then I have had on LIVE in a year.......almost put together... I don't know what it was I was like WOW this game rules!! I knew it was awesome and I have a TON of LAN memories at the dorms a couple of years ago but BLAM! it was amazing....I'm not exaggerating it was awesome... BUT it was cut short since that disk is so worn that once I got to the library it decided to die. But anyway I was wondering if anyone is on the same page with me or if you guys think I'm psycho or on something, or .............both.
Thanks,

I got fed up with live, when I kept flying around not hitting anyone when I would try to melee, stupid lunge. Also, the fun is just sucked out of vehicles when the stupid rocket almost always hits.

I now have a weekly LAN of Halo: Combat Evolved (which I used to do, but now Im back to it), which is so much freaking fun, you should get some guys together and give it a try, so much freaking fun.

Yeah I was thinking about busting it out at one, we have one every month. We go online and kick. But it would rock doing that!

Cool art BTW!!!

Yeah thanks.

The problem in Halo 2 is not as LAN friendly as Halo: Combat Evolved, then big thing is that the angle of veiw is smaller, plus I grew tired of Halo 2, because I as well played almost every day for two years from release, so yeah got kinda bored.

But I am loving my weekly LANs, complete with Tijuna Mamas, Brownies (the chocolate treat, not the little girls) and pizza and soda.

You're not psycho. The campaign in Halo 1 is awesome. First time I put the Halo 1 disc in after ages playing Halo 2, I just gawped. It just gets you so pumped, I'd completely forgotten.

The Halo CE campaign is one of the best campaigns ever in a game. I like it a lot more than Halo 2's campaign.

I'm so glad to see everyone actually supporting this. I thought it would turn into a "what do you bring to your LAN party?" thread (sorry for falling into it). I loved the Halo campaign, it was darker, but had some appropriate bits of humor. I actually got Halo: CE after I got Halo 2, and the first time I played through the campaign, I suddenly noticed tears were coming from my eyes. This did not happen in Halo 2, and it was not allergies. The gameplay was so great, the story so in-depth that I cried, I'm not gonna hide it, I -blam!- CRIED! I think the main reason the campaign was so much better is because that's what Bungie thought everyone would play it for, with Halo 2, they focused way too much on the multiplayer aspect, and way too little on making the campaign bring tears to their fans eyes.

If halo 3 were simply a game disc that had halo 1, but disguised in halo 2 graphics...i seriously wouldn't mind one bit.

Glad to see this forum is still alive, and halo CE(custom edition)>halo CE(combat evolved)>Halo2

But if any of you have custom edition, CMT puts a whole new spin on the campaign. Gatling guns? Sentinal beams? Killable dropships? AA rockets, SMGS, BRs? A tank in the library that makes that level actually fun? yep.

But I also apologized for it. I can go back and delete it if it would make everyone feel better.

Yeh, Halo's Campaign seems a lot funner than Halo 2's Campaign :]. I think that Halo 2 has good Multiplayer, and Halo was renown for its good single player. I didn't get drawn in to the Halo world as much as I did in Halo 1 :(

halo campaign still gives me goosebumps when i play it. i quit halo 2 because i'm tired of getting cheated every other game i play. xbc still has a decent amount of players on halo 1, but not as much as id hope. i host bg ctf all the time.

Halo CE multiplayer and campaign completely destroy halo 2's. Its great to get back into playing it after playing h2 for so long. LAN h1 is way fun too. XBC is good for a few pickup games but LAN h1 will always be the best multiplayer fps experience on consoles.
