Ok here I go on a big huge rant. 3.2.1 go. Here is what I think of the halo games so far. Halo: Combat Evolved is much better than Halo 2 from a playability standpoint. I have had halo since it came out and beat it on legendary several times and it is still fun to play through. Muliplayer just keeps getting better with time and the only downside is that there is no xbox live connection for Halo 1. Halo 2 Had a lot of great concepts and features but they pretty much made a whole different game instead of sticking with what is good and making it better. I disliked it after I found out that they took away the assault rifle. WHY DID THEY GET RID OF THE MOST VERSITILE WEAPON IN THE GAME??? they replaced it with the craptastic new three round burst thing. 1) anyone who has played Halo 1 should know how to controll their fire like that anyway. 2) they did it for the freaking noobs who cant figure out how to tap the trigger instead of mashing it and 3) when they made that gun they should have at least made it optional to switch from burst to auto. another problem was the removal of the magnum scope. WTF WERE THEY THINKING? that was literally the most precious weapon in the whole game. you could pick someone off with it from halfway across blood gulch. and then blow someones face off who is standing next to you without worrying about missing like with the sniper rifle. The vehicle destruction sounds good but once you get into multiplayer you realize that it just gets anoying after a while.they should have made it a multiplayer option. Another problem is what were they thinking when they got rid of the life meter. sure it makes the game more challenging but you should at least know when your near death. now its like "hey my sheilds gone, oh well I can take a couple of hits to get to cover. whats that? a grunt looked at me funny? OH NO IM-A DEAD."x.x. they compensated by giving nearly infinite fall height without taking dameage. That doesn't work well! yeah his suits all upgraded and crap but that doesnt mean he can't fall ten stories without at least his sheilds getting damaged. In terms of the campaign. It was good but needed some work. situations were to predictable and it should have been longer. plus what a jip with the no special ending. I worked my behind off to get there and it was nothing. thats bull. In conclusion. Both games good, HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED MUCH MUCH BETTER. </rant>

I like squishing and blasting people with the tank. But the shooting aspect of Halo 2 is also cool. Of course, I like killing my friends best.

[SnIp3r_WoLf offline]

Eh, Halo 2's okay. Ever since our Xbox broke, which was like a year ago, (And my brother replaced it with a Gamecube) I've only been able to play it at my cousins house. I like to kill monsters with Energy Swords though, or other people it doesn't matter to me.

[Insanity Hero offline]

It get's my anger out if I had a bad day. Also I just love shooting those little dudes with the high pitch voice. They always have something funny to say before they die.

Last year I went on a huge Halo 2 spree. Didn't play anything but Halo 2. I was bound to finish the game before the year 2005 ended. And I did. The funny thing is I haven't even played the first Halo game.

[jayde_child offline]

i like halo. i just hate it when i instantly get killed by that light sword thing.

[SnIp3r_WoLf offline]

That's the Energy Sword, I love that thing. It's so fun to kill things with it.

[Rail Runner offline]

even with the changes..I think Halo 2 was still way better than Halo 1...big improvement.

[oddson offline]

in britain halo 3 is coming out in 2007

[Stonecreek]

I prefer Halo 2 simply because of the X-Box Live play. I can kill hours on there, just venting anger by picking off random passerby. Sure, I miss some of the stuff already mentioned from Halo 1, but there's always 3 coming up to fix the problems and close the series out properly.

[SilverPrince offline]

Well, I like them pretty much the same, but I like Halo 2 better because of the mult-player mode. I agree with Rud, the changes to the pistol and the replacement of the Assault Rfle with the Battle Rifle were not very good decisions, but you havr to remember that Bungie Studios didn't have a lot of time to make it. Well, they did, they just wasted most of the time making the preview trailer for E3.

[Rudger offline]

Halo 1 PWNZEZ ALL!!!!

Just kidding I like em both but I'm kind of oldschool so I like halo 1 better.

... but there's always 3 coming up to fix the problems and close the series out properly.

How can you be sure they will fix it? Bungie is not a company that takes suggestions that will dramatically alter the game very well. They play by their own rules and do whatever the flip they wanna do. If they change it at all it will probably be another completely different setup.

I havent been to bungie.net in a while so if anyone has updates please inform me. THX. ~RUD~

[Rail Runner offline]

yeah, but when they do make the change...its usually a good thing.

I'm actually trying to get Halo for the PC. I played it online at my friends house, and boy, was it ever fun! Has anyone here played it, and if so, should I get it?

BTW, Halo 2 has fun single player. I'd play it if my Xbox wasn't acting funky on me.

My favorite Halo character is Master Chief. I'm REALLY anxious for H3! Cortana is hot (not hotter than Yumi though)! My favorite weapon is the sniper, as it my best weapon and when I'm older I'm gonna be a sniper for the Marine Corps.

[Darkborn offline]

and when I'm older I'm gonna be a sniper for the Marine Corps.

Good luck with that...you're gunna need it

I have Halo for the PC. It's good. I've played some online mods for it. Where the Sticky Grenades are Grunts lmao.

[I Love Yumi offline]

I still don't see why everyone thinks I won't make it. Throwing Plasma grenades at a Grunt and watching it scream, running towards a group of his buddies to kill them is just plain funny!

[Darkborn offline]

I didn't say that you weren't going to make it. I just said Good luck

[I Love Yumi offline]

Oh. Thanks. Lol.

[Beowulf681 offline]

Have a creepy crush on Cortana (guilty)

As much as I hate to admit it, also guilty.

Launching the great Halo debate was a bit of a bad idea, both games have strong support. As for wich game is better, Halo: CE pwns. I'll make a list, and you can compare both games.

Halo CE Raiting Halo 2

M6D Pistol > M6C Pistol
MA5B ? BR55
Game Play > Game Play
Story > Story
(PC) Mutiplayer > Xbox Live
Graphics <Graphics> Polish
Diffuclity <Difficulty> Overall


The only credit I give to Halo 2 is graphics, and playing as the Covenant. Halo: CE is easy-er compared to Halo 2, sevral times I found myself heaving the xbox into things, Halo 2 was just that hard. And the mutiplayer on Halo for the PC is much better than Halo 2 on Xbox Live, not as many whiney six-year olds.


TO anyone who owns Halo for the PC and plays on-line: I am looking for anyone from here to play me on-line. Just PM me and we'll work out a game time.

I'll even go as far as to make a decated server for the LF Halo PC gamers. Would anyone like that?

I reccomend Halo PC if you haven't got it already.

EDIT: Something screwed up my list. Sorry about that. When I get on later I may try to fix it. But not for now.

Well that's your opinion, I like Halo 2 better.

[Rudger offline]

since were talking about halo PC, I bought it, installed it, and every time I try to use it it gives me an "error trying to run Direct 3D" but I have tons of other games that use Direct 3D and they work just fine. anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it?

[Reesane offline]

I've played the first game, but I never realy got into the second one. My favorite levle: The Library. they just didn't make it long enough...

[Evil Ulrich offline]
