105. Crisp Clean environments that looked truly OPEN!... like exploring yosemite with aliens in it.

106. Hard Strong sound effects that made metal seem like metal... (H2 sounds like plastic and pea shooters)

p.s. ---> if you have seen the H3 maps snowbound, and valhalla... don't they look BIG and OPEN and CRISP and CLEAN and AMAZING like Halo 1? I'm so excited!!!

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

124- A single Player mission where the sniper rifle was useful.

130:The tank's speed
131:The tank's main cannon's blast(sound and blast appearance, it was acturely scary to listen to a high velocity tank shell zoom past you.)
132:How the Tank wasn't too powerful, the machine gun turret was like a last resort weapon, not another main weapon
133:How the music wan't always high pitched squeaking choir music like in halo 2!
134:how a marine, MC, spec op elite all have the same endurance. (24 smg bullets killed them)
135: How a marine couldn't take 4 sniper shots while you could only take 2.(My god! You are the freaking MC! A regular human in crappy armor could take more than the MC with his shields, better armor and as a physically tougher human.)

139. The significant difficulty of sticking people in multiplayer (it's too easy in H2)
140. The marines didn't turn everything into a joke fest (goddamn it i hate it when they did that in H2)
141. Marines didn't shoot you by accident.
142. The horribly difficult challenge of the wraith assorted with a whole buncha other smart covies. (in h2, all you have to do is bullrush the wraith, hijack it and get in, and blow the crap outta everyone else
143. The elites were more badass with their own languages.

Never took me one rocket to destroy a tank. More like two, and that's not because I missed the first time. How to you destroy a Wraith with one rocket? I've never done/seen it happen....
