I agree totally. Halo has the better single player (one of the best. period.) and Halo2 has the better multiplayer (also one of the best). But I would say Halo:CE is more important to me personally.

My point of view is that they are equal. Halo's campain was better, but the multiplayer is nowhere near as good as Halo 2's.

The single player was better in Halo: CE
The multiplayer was better in Halo 2

Halo1 was balanced, minus a statistic of 2. Halo2 is a banshee turd that screams from a bald irish head, "I AM BALANCED", and it screams much louder than haloCE screamed; only due to that HaloCE was approaching lightspeed and at that velocity everying drones out with the wind.

Halo CE was superior in all halfs, IMO. I still play CE but dont 2.

Halo stood out as original and fun to play.

A lot of that was lost in favour of making halo 2 more freindly and a game designed for live play in the end.

Look at the early trailers for halo 2. They show much more of a focus on campaign story about earth and mc fighting to svae it against the covenant. In the end this was ditched for live and the ability to play as an elite. I mean the exclusion of bots on halo 2 was basically a marketting tool to make people buy live. That and the slogan "eart will never be the same" ended up pretty weak. I think we'll have to wait for halo 3 for earth to never be the same again.

i think halo 2 has better mutiplayer but halo has a better campain. on halo for x-box in mutiplayer its not fun unless you turn off the options when you create a gametype where if you die you run faster and when you kill you run slower that sucks. people say it balances between noobs and good players, when the score is 14/14 one more point to win the other guy has a shotgun and you run away but he can catch you cause you killed him 5 times in a row thats bull.running 5 times faster just cause i was owning.

You play to win the game!

HaloCE is one of my favorite games ever. I had very high hopes for Halo 2. That compounded with the fact that Bungie made Halo 2 a less skilled game made me dislike Halo 2 a lot for a very long time. Halo 2 could have been a great game, probably one of the better FPS around, as long as they wouldn't have called it Halo 2. It doesn't play like HaloCE and it is nowhere near as good.

The campaign is uninteresting and not very fun at all. The multiplayer is unbalanced and isn't fun most of the time, especially during LAN.

it was better generly look at the graphics of halo 1 enviromeant for their time bad er than -blam!- but halo 2 focused on the charcters and not the enviromeant i thing the bungie guys just got lazy and over confident about the game

i HEAVILY enjoy CE over H2. campaign is alot more inthrived with the mystery of 'halo' where as H2 is more about we know everything now we gotta do it. H2 was way to difficult and frusterating. i've played through the CE campaign litteraly 100's of times and maybe H2 campaign 7-8 times start to finish at most and only that many due to "easter egg' hunting. CE MM was much more obsessive for me. i'll take side winder and hang em high any day over head long and zanzibar. i used to play massive 16 player LANNAGE weekly basis. for me none of that exists any more due to XBL. i think H2 should have had a health pack system and fall damage. taking these away gave to much advantage to the better player. two players meet. one kills the other and a second or two later full health. in CE two players met one kills the other and has to take cover cause he only has two (most likely one) bars of health left. simple thoughts well thought through

In campaign, Halo blew Halo 2 away. In multi-player, Halo 2 blew Halo away. So they're pretty much even.

The campaign in halo 1 in gameplay can possibly beat it, but in story line, halo 2 beats that.

I am dissapointed in halo 2 for having only two earth levels, the being an elite levels were interesting, they showed a little more of what made the covenant. The gameplay was easy, due to the new PP, but it had a great story line nonetheless, and was a great game.

Halo 1, had incredible gameplay, great graphics, and great environments, but it was bit easy to get lost, compared to halo 2, and the ending in legendary was fun, but the ending of the game, however, didn't really show that their may be a sequal. Halo 2 didn't have a funny ending, but it definitly showed their will be a sequal.

Both games are great, but they are different, halo 1 had health, and many powerful weapons, never fearing anything.

Halo 2 was a fast paced game, with better graphics, and new abilites (duel weilding, boarding, ect). With a great story line, and new characters.

I like both games equally, so don't flame me.

the campaign was much better. it felt like i was shooting real guns and getting somewhere. i could almost feel the assault rifle against my shoulder, and was sweating through the whole game going omg omg omg. the marines programming wasn't great, but they were better in halo ce. you had a lot more of them, and you worked as a team.
i just love halo's campaign. halo 2 only dominates in multiplayer

Campain mode in halo combat evolved was better and the story, enemys etc. But the multiplayer in halo 2 was better, even more so when the multiplayer map pack came out.

The campaign was excellent in Halo 1, and multiplayer almost did it. The only let down is no xbox live capabilities. Yes, there's tunnel software to play Halo 1 online but to be honest live is so much better. If Halo 1 had live, I'd have thrown Halo 2 away long ago.

an original is always better then the sequel. Halo has levels you just want to play again again again and again it just classic and a great game to play with your mates.

sure the xbox live system on halo 2 rocks but i always change games every now and then to play Halo 1

Become the hunter.

They're both outstanding games, They each have their advantages. I don't see why so many people think that halo 2 isn't that good cause there's a reason that it is the most played xbox live game. They did something right.

I think Halo 2 was a succsesful sequel. People say the campaigns BAD, but i can't see why THAT bad.

Let's compare campaign h1 to campaign h2. The storyline in h1 was good, but only on a small scale(I mean by : in halo 2 u defend Earth, Stop halo from activating, and theres a civil war, while in Halo 1 its just a guerrila war on halo to stop it from activating.) Second, in a sequel, people expect it to be better. But if its almost the same, does that make it a bad game?

In multiplayer xbl, Halo 2 is fun. In multiplayer for halo PC online, its fun but you have to type, and with all the kills on the screen mixed in with the typing you dont know whats going on. In halo 2 the weapons are a bit more balanced thanx to dual weilding.( the smg only a tad better than assault rifle, except smg dual weilded is way better. Same with the needler, the magnum which all sorta stink 1 handed but own 2 handed.) And in Halo 1 the frags get very annoying.( ur like 10 feet away and it kills you.) Thats why in halo 2 its
weakened.

well that it was it was made for, it was made to be MS/Bungies xbl monster, and in that sense i definately think they succeded. however in terms of general gameplay and all around package i think halo1 has halo2 beat.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

This might be the most biast thread ever as almost every one here is going to think halo 1 is better. Either way halo 2 is better in most ways except campaign gameplay in some places was repetive.

Halo 2's graphics were better and i liked halo 2's multiplayer slightly better then halo CE's as all i seen people do was run around with the pistol in H1. Also halo 2's story gives us a much large glimpse of the haloverse. Showing us a bit of the inner workings of the covenant and gives us an insight to earth in the future. It shows us why the covenant wanted halo instead of them being just random aliens that as far as we know have no motives. It gives us an insight of the corruption of the covenant and it even gives us some information on the floods history and how there controled.

i think that it is better than halo 2 because it has alot more fair game play. for instance its not when you shoot first and win the battle it is when u need skill to snipe and skill to shoot. And if you dont like it than its not my problem.
