It's "All the things in Halo we took for granted" i think it has all really great points in there... i know i seem like a Halo 1> Halo 2 whiner sometimes but i dont care- because im right. at least some xbox players think it too.

Yeah, there are things we took for granted....but what about things that we WANT?

Who doesn't want better graphics, or the ability to dual wield? Who doesn't want to wield energy swords, or blow a huge hole in a wall?

I think you should set up a poll. H1 vs. H2.

I dont want to have an overpowered sword and duel-wielding. I'm tired of noobs who spawn near the sword think they're good. who wants better graphics on a ultra-linear game? if H1 had H3's Graphics engine- i would be set. but it doesn't, and in no thread where i posted that poll would everyone vote.

Well isn't it kind of hard to get the lunge attack with the sword that gets the one-hit kill? Besides, Don't all noobs think they're good when they spawn near a tank, sniper, or heavy?

On Xbox, the sword is very easy to kill with, so imagine dealing with it on PC. I imagine no one ever thought about using the shotgun on those sword users.

Well, n00bs have a way of fighting, and there is also a way of countering their style. After all, they are noobs. If they do try to run towards you w/ the sword, use some tactics. What Vincent mentioned above is also a good idea You could also use needlers or heavies. After all, the sword is a close-quarter weapon. You could expect a noob to run across a Blood Gulch-style map with the sword and end up being constantly pwnt and then calling us hax0rz.

I like the sword. It fits my playing style. I loved sneaking up on my buddies and eviscerating them. They never knew what hit them.

I like pointy things.

The problem with that theory is that only the host had a reasonable chance of that tactic succeeding.

Well, this time Bungie is gonna make the game themselves, no horrible porting from Xbox-PC by a middleman. I hope that they get it right this time. They should also follow Battlefield's example, since the lag there is almost nonexistant.

As it comes down to it, we halo 1 gamers are the most skilled of them all. Take a halo 2 gamer against one of us, play a few matches in halo 1 and in halo 2, and I bet the Halo 1 gamer wins overall by a margin.

To be honest, most of the best players who play Halo 2 have played the first game, and they all agree that Combat Evolved is better, in terms of skill, fun, and gameplay.

No first person model, no attacking, no hud marker. And, like I said, when I went near the door to leave the room (the command center), I got a GED.

Dude, I've tried it too, it sucks, can't attack anything,and you can't switch back to it once you've switched to another weapon, so you are totally dependant on your allies for videos or machimina. :(

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Dude, the most I have played Halo 2 is for about 15 minutes... o_O

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

Evis and Exe Strike!
Ahh, sorry GW got to me.
I don't mind the sword either, I like chilling in a corner and come up on them like a shadow.

I had started playing Halo CE for about 5 months before I first tried Halo 2, and letting you guys know, you didn't miss much. So I hope Bungie makes a better job with Halo 2 Vista.
