I'm playing through the Campaign(again), so yeah, I'm still playing it, after all these years. The game never gets old.

no one says halo if they mean halo 1 they just say halo 1, halo 1 means halo 1 and halo means halo2

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.

Yes

Not for the campaign, recently I've started looking for all the Easter Eggs and stuff in the game. Tons of fun.

We're talking about Counter-Strike, why else is this place called the Library?

Um, yes, they do, but that's a moot point, because apparently you can't read - this place is called the Library, and it's dedicated to Halo Combat Evolved discussion.

imo halo 1 is the only game deserving of the title. Halo 2 was fun for a few laughs (mainly at its horrendous sense of balance), but it truly lacks the depth of the original game. Besides who actually plays halo 2 any more?

tens of thousands on Xbox Live.

Terms:
Halo=Halo universe and games in general

Halo 1=Halo:Combat Evolved

Halo: CE=Halo: Custom Edition

Halo 2=Halo 2

Halo 3=Halo 3

Only the first 3 are imprtant.

I have not played halo in a long time, because I've had it longer than Halo 2, so I've beaten it more often. Halo 2 has live play, which is why I play that more often. I have switched to different games now, however. I am currently hooked on FEAR. Before Halo 3 is released, I will play through Halo 1, and Halo 2 Campaign on Normal to help me get good at the Campaign again.

I play both games, because they are fun, both with a great storyline. Halo 2 is fun with it's eggs, AI, new weapons, and the fun of the campaign.

Halo CE is great, with a great story line, and I play it often to keep my aiming skills sharp.

F.E.A.R. > Halo/Halo 2, HaloFighter92. On the PC that is. :)

Still, I find myself playing Halo and Halo 2 frequently.

Perhaps. There really is no denying the quality of the original beats out the second in the series though. Sooooo many mistakes were made with halo 2. Huge maps, too much focus on vehicles. 70 degree FoV. Astronaut jumping. Slow as a snail MC. The nerfing of all weapons in order to make way for dual wielding. The poor quality of the single player campaign. The large amounts of magnetism and autoaim make it so my mother could get a kill. The HUGE amount of cheaters on XBL. The lack of a timed weapon spawn system. The list is enormous.

Now name flaws with the original halo. When jumping and spinning in mid-air the bullets came out of the side of your head instead of out of your gun. Online play is less user-friendly. Some of the levels were repetitive in single player but that is a whole lot better than having a crappy single player altogether. Rocket and invisibilty are just a tad too powerful when used in combination, but hey its your fault for allowing the other team to get them since all weapons are on a timer and you know when something will respawn..... Yeah.... thats about it. The flaws to the original game are so few and far between that one would think it rediculous to actually compare halo and halo 2.

In looking at the faults of both games halo has far fewer than halo 2. End of story. Without XBL Halo 2 would be in the garbage for the majority of Halo fans.

I still play it and enjoy every moment of it. The game play just has something Halo 2 just cannot offer. I feel a sense of fulfillment when I finish a battle, however it just feels so bland in the other game.

That's my opinion, though.
