Halo 1.

The campaign was awesome and had no Arbiter interfering with its goodness.

This is, of course, my opinion, so anyone who thinks different has no reason to flame me for it.

I don't play multiplayer, so I have no opinion on which is better.

Halo 1 was great with it's unique graphics, and environment. But could I sometimes got lost when I first played it, and how slow moving vehicles, like a banshee, touching it would kill you, and I can't stress how much I hated that, along with the fact that tanks, as well as other vehicles didn't protect you at all from enemy fire, especially against the jackals.

Halo 2 Had a fun campaign, with a arbitor to enhance the halo universe, and bring delimma, and show how the covenant work. Along with it's skulls to allow fun things to happen. See purgatory below on my sig. to see why skulls can be so fun.

But Halo 2 didn't have large environments, although it was impossible to get lost in the game. Aim assist did help a lot, but the AI had it as well, and I didn't like how legendary became nearly impossible to beat, along with the introduction of Jackal snipers.

Halo 1 wins in both multiplayer and campaign imo. More skill in multiplayer made for a bigger thrill when you nail a kill. Also the 90 degree FOV was nice. Halo 2's campaign just didnt seem good to me. I hope bungie brings back the good things from halo 1 and mixes it with halo 2's robust online options to make an even better game.

Halo Combat Evolved was a thrill because we didnt know what we were doing. Halo two was a veteran's dance floor, and it was almost like just an add-on for the end of Halo Combat Evolved. I'm hoping Halo three will be a fresh battleground and a true challenge like the first of the games of reference.

You should make this same post in the New Mombasa forum and see if you get different results. My guess is you will, however I voted Halo 1. It is winning in the polls!

well on Halo 2, i felt like it was linear, and very narrow.... while on Halo CE it was huge enviroments, and it had more than one path to take (most of the time). When i saw Halo for the first time i felt like i was in that ring, and in Halo 2 I felt like i was controling a badazzz character, but i liked the feeling of being in that huge Halo better. Multiplayer on Halo CE was just a blast, and it wasnt very balanced but that just made it into a better fragg fest!! Halo 2 online is awesome aswell but too many people use the sniper, nub combo, and cheat.

In my conlusion and my opinion Halo CE is better... but halo 2 is awesome never the less!!
you guys should go to my forum about a remake of HALO CE for XBOX LIVE! here is the link
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=9577974

P.S.. I personally consider HALO CE the GREATEST game EVER EVER!!! and if any game would take that away from HALO CE it would be HALO 2 or HALO 3!!!

This forum is dedicated to the first game, you're obviously going to get biased answers.

They're good in different ways.

well, seeing as how halo was the cornerstone of all videogames to be made...halo is much better for the fact it introduced everything. Halo2 is good, but cannot match to the first, its like saying the new starwars episodes are better then the original. you cant put sequels against the first of the series, you just dont.

Well, since this is all opinion, Halo CE because I liked the physics and mechanics of it.

Become the hunter.

I'd like to say Halo: CE due to the nostalgia, but I have spent much more time playing Halo 2. I've played the campaign for Halo much more though.

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

Halo

gruntythirst.. I knw exactly how you feel!! I love that Halo CE had a metaly type of feeling (not metal music, metal as in the element)... and the physics were solid and they felt more Si-fy and more realistic at the same time. the enviroment was much bigger and much more exploring and wonderign around... it was indeed just awesome!!


Halo CE is a classic of classic

spartan 117 > mario
Arbitor > Zelda
Halo > all the video games ever made!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say Halo 2, just because of my beloved Battle Rifle.

I agree, Halo 1 had a "feel" that Halo 2 didn't capture. In my mind they're still equal though.

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

Wow. I look in The Library for the first time in a very long time and what do I see? The same -blam!- thread that was in here right after Halo 2 was released. Damn.

Good god! People in a forum dedicated to a 5 year old game keep talking about the same stuff? What's wrong with these people!!!!

Halo 1 for me. I can play any Halo level without getting bored. I can't do that with Halo 2. The level of immersion isn't the same. Campaign, definately Halo 1, Multiplayer, Halo 2. But only because I haven't played Halo 1 while at a LAN or anything.
