For me, I thought Halo 2 was much easier than Halo 1, since you could skip certain battles just to make sure you live longer.

Um, give me an example, please. And compare Halo 2 to Halo on Legendary. Halo 2's difficulty wasn't that hard, but it became a memorization game which isn't very fun at all. So, it's too hard. I'm not a wimp, I enjoy a challenge, but it stops being fun and a test of my skills and it becomes a memorization game.

Yes. You can run around like Rambo on legendary if you eventually get good enough at the game. That's rewarding. You could never do that on Halo 2 no matter how good you got.

The reason why I said that because maps such as outskirts have shortcuts where you can skip main battles such as sniper alley. You can also unleash glitches like from trasition from airbiter to oracle, like if you have a zeroed out sword and bring it with you into the next level, you have unlimited power unless you drop it. Those are just a few of the ways to not get yourself killed and was easier to do. Halo 1 had a direct path and only one path where you could get you ass handed to if you did not know what a battle was. There was no half assing going on in Halo 1, which made it much harder to conquer.

No no no no no no no no no. You completely misunderstood me, and I guess that's my fault. I meant to express that Halo 2, not Halo, had a hard, tedious campaign on higher difficulties. Certainly not the first game. If you look at my post closely, I was quoting Scout on how he was wrong to say Halo was more difficult than the second game.

It's too bad that you think Halo 2 is easier than the first game just because it has more glitches (A.K.A. bugs that weren't supposed to be in the game) and alternate routes that weren't supposed to be taken. It's also a shame that you fail to take in account the extreme difficulty of enemies, such as the numerous Jackals and their extremely quick reaction with a beam rifle, or the many Elites with plasma rifles that drain your shields faster than a heartbeat. I'm sorry you think Halo is harder (in a bad way) because it didn't make up half-assed routes with unfinished textures that Bungie decided to ignore that cut down the level's playtime in half.

Oh, and by the way, maybe the first game reused level designs and scenes too frequently, but at least wherever you went you were going to face enemies. Halo, at the very least, wasn't as straightforward as the second game was. Halo 2's campaign, its levels, were extremely linear. In fact, one might say that it was so linear, that it made players desperate to find other ways, different routes, to the end of the game, hence, you find people jumping from building to building on Outskirts.

I wasn't a big fan of Halo's backtracking, as I think that's repetitive. But at least it was much more open-ended, or at the very least, created that illusion well, than it did in Halo 2.

So you're saying I'm a noob? I just said that because Halo 1 is a more challenging game. I have finished it numerous times, but i seems more intense than Halo 2. And if you can't dodge jackal snipers or melee attacks, you got a problem. My first sig will tell you why.

Halo is more challenging, you're right, but you stated it for the wrong reasons. Halo 2 is hard, but in a bad way. Enemies are so tough after reverting back to checkpoint to checkpoint it just becomes a memorization game of where the enemies are, and how to deal with them, which isn't very fun at all and it becomes quite repetitive.

Hmm. And I thought the only heat was to be found in battle.

The only one who is a true noob would be the player who hates to play because he can't learn to duck. I hope your gun rots off, Captain Fatso!

Halo 1 was a little better. It seems like the weapons in this game were a lot stronger. Like the rocket launcher the explosion seemed more realistic and deadly. I dont like the way the rocket launcher in hao 2 locks on. Its kind of cheap and it takes away all the skill. Anyone can lock on and let go of the trigger but it took timing and aim in Halo 1.

Halo: Combat Evolved is my favourite. The physics were much better and in Halo 2 when I meleed someone I couldn't get that feel like you actually felt yourself hit that guy hard with a satisfying "CRACK"...Halo: Combat Evolved had that feeling and of course the campaign was superb and felt more spaced out, unlike Halo 2 which felt like you were forced to walk one narrow path. Halo 2 was good and showed more detail to characters and vehicles, but for me I kinda prefer playing Halo: Combat Evolved. =)
