I can't beleive there is not a topic on this! :P Least I didn't see it 5 pages back... I could of swore there was one, but guess not.

I think Halo, the original, just plain out ruled. But as for Halo 2, it was kinda Ok, but I don't think it measured to the original. All in all, it was just better.

Your Ideas?

[TheDogWho]

I prefer Halo but I haven't really played much of it or 2.

[Elliott]

Only played Halo 2, and a demo of Halo 1. I though it was just a generic shooter. Nothing special about the story, the characters, the weapons or the gameplay.

[Golden Djinn13]

I like Halo 2 because of the better fighting attacks and the new maps in versus mode.

[Izar]

I like Halo better because it's more balanced, and there are headshots. I played the demo for Halo 2, and it jsut wasn't up to beat.

[Golden Djinn13]

Thats true, but I really only enjoyed the versus mode in Halo 2. I found that it wasn't as challenging as halo was for me.

[Izar]

I never played the Versus mode in 2, just 1. I'd like to, but, well, I'll just stick to Halo 1.

[Blink]

Halo 2, the pistol is GONE!

[Echo_djinn]

Halo > Halo 2. The addition with the sword in Halo 2 and the online action is great but I had more fun playing with my friends with are sniper rifles and pistol assaults.

I just like to add that pissed my pants when I first layed eyes on the flood in Halo. The whole dead guy laying on the ground and then the flood just come and mob you was a sick introduction for them.

[Izar]

Ha, I remember playing with a few people and they did pistol headshots and sniped the crap outta me.

[Nemphtis]

Deffinately Halo1, don't bite my head off but I gotta say Halo1 is one of the only FPS games out there that had an in-depth single-player. Most FPS games only shine when played on multiplayer, not on singleplayer. Sure there are others such as Half-Life but like I said, it's a rare thing none the less.

Halo2 had a worse single player and the multiplayer was defo flawed. The multiplayer required little skill, it was more a case of what wapon you have instead of how good you are. That's my opinion anyhow, and the game has autoaim, you can't even take that off, how embarassing.

[Andross]

I really haven't had much of a chance to play Halo 2, but from what I've seen, I agree. The weapons seemed way unbalanced, but supposedly it's fixed in the Multiplayer Map Pack. I have fun in Halo 1 though on the PC, mostly online. I just hate it when you're in a rocket CTF, shoot a guy square, and they don't die because of the rocket lag :P

[Steven the hero]

I really love halo two because of its new weapons and fighting syestems.I dunno if i was the onlky one but i think that the watrt hogs got a little bit funner ta drive.
Anyways here is way i like ithttp://www.the-junkyard.net/images/weapons/halo2/TNw_energysword.jpg
The energy sword!

[Izar]

I wanted to use the energy sword bad, because it was cool in the first game, but in the second game, they made it crappy.

[Mathak Kraven]

Definatly Halo 2, I have both played them and I liked the action better in the second then the first. Also Vehicles are better.

[Nemphtis]

Energy Sword - Used by n00bs and people who lack the skill or IQ to kill an enemy on fair circumstances. The energy sword makes many games unbalanced, it has a VERY long reach (a lunge attack which is a 1-hit-KO and makes the user travel across a large ammount of space within a second). This is the most unbalanced weapon in the game, you'd think it was okay to use since it's a melle weapon, but this isn't technically a melle weapon, it's an all purpose shotgun/blade disguised as a sword.

[Lance]

Swords are only really fun (or useful, I find) in games that are all swords.

For example, grab 12-16 people in a LAN battle on Beaver Creek, and have all swords. Now that's fun. Other then that, pure crap. I turn the corner with a sword and find a shotgun staring me down. Turn the corner with a shotgun, find a rocket in the face. Turn with a rocket, find a sniper...You get the idea.

Halo owned, nay, pwned Halo 2 in like, every aspect. For instance:

Grenade wars on Halo 1, on Hang em High, were awesome. There was fall damage, so you had to be careful on the cat walks. It took skill to not get blown into so much garbage.

In Halo 2, no matter how much they increase the grenade strength by in some autoupdate, they still don't do as much damage or have a bigger radius. Also, you could fall down four or five stories and not get a scratch. That's crap.

Guns in Halo 1 were better, except maybe the locking on with the rocket. That's pretty fun sometimes. Other then that, Halo 1 wastes Halo 2. 'Nuff said.

[Nemphtis]

I can agree with those points. My only complaint about Halo1 was the Pistol. Sure it pwns but let's face it, the Pistol was WAY too strong. The assault rifle was AWFUL, the Shotgun was ballanced and so was the Sniper but can't say the same for the first two weapons I mentioned.

[Nick Presta]

It depends.

Halo 1 SP > Halo 2 SP
Halo 1 Online < Halo 2 Online
Halo 1 LAN == Halo 2 LAN

Halo 1 has a better Single Player.
Halo 2 has a better online experience.
Halo 1's LAN multiplayer is sexy. It is really good for team games. Halo 2's LAN party is more fun than serious, but great.

I love both.

[Water_Adept]

Halo 1, Halo 2 had a better multiplayer, but Halo was just better...

[Blink]

Well, I actually prefer Halo 2 because of the better multiplayer gametypes you can have. My friends and I have discovered tons of great game types in Halo 2, to name a few:

Fat King: King of the Hill: Invisible unless inside the hill, weapons are rocket launchers and shotguns, played on Midship, 2 minutes in the hill. Total chaos.

Banshee King: Slayer: Start with Sentinel beams and Swords, one banshee on the course, no other vehicles, snipers as course weapon, played on Asencion with plasma turrets. Whoever is in the banshee has ultimate power, since they have the only real guns. When the banshee is down, everyone fights for the landing pad so they can get it first when it respawns. Banshees can be taken down with teamwork and the sentinel beams though, if all done at the same time. Quite fun. Best played with three or four players.

Tank king: Slayer: Start with carbines and brute shots, heavy weapons found on course, vehicles are two banshees, four ghosts, and two tanks, played on Coagulation with machine gun turrets. Best played with three players. Whoever gets in the tank has ultimate power, so the other two guys have to team up on the tank to get rid of it, fast. There are three major methods, one: hijack after getting close to it via ghost or banshee(practically scuicide, so both at the same time), two: distract it with one player while the other hijacks it(so it's only scuicide for one player), three: get two rocket launchers and hit it with four rockets(but this one destroys the tank). Very, very, very fun.

So, yeah, those three game types are enough to make me chose Halo 2 over 1 any day, it's pure madness, and it's way more fun than Halo 1...though I miss sidewinder...

[Echo_djinn]

Most of you must have already noticed this, but in Halo 2 when you have dual-machine guns and you start firing the machine-guns start to rise up. That gets annoying and leaves me to believe that those are the worst guns in the game. I don't think the gun does the same thing in Halo so there is another reason why I like Halo better than Halo 2.

[l3lueMage]

I totally Prefer Halo1, First off, halo2 take ZERO SKILL TO WIN, it has that stupid slight autoaim,
Halo1 I prefered the Campaign levels because they were more open...also on Multiplayer the maps werent to big or to small, except sidewinder.
On Halo2 There are so many Softmodders on xboxlive it makes it 0 fun. If you dont know what a softmod is its this. You use FTP to connect your computer to your xbox edit the NEW maps and make it so basically you can do anything, fly, make guns shoot anything, just about anything. Next you put a knife or something through the crack of your cd drive and make it so the cd doesnt spin, that way when your playing multiplayer you ALWAYS get the new maps since the new maps are on your harddrive, the old maps are on cd but cannot load the new maps.

WHy I know that is cause my cousin did it -__-
and IT SUCKS ONLINE all I ask for is for 1 fair CTF CLassic game on halo2, but someone is always modding hacking or whatever...it sucks :(

Halo1 is best =]

[Mallick]

I must admit, when Halo's sequel was released, I was saying "Omagarsh! This is way better than the first; and that's saying a LOT!!"

Now, I'm liking the classic game of which I've loved since the time I acquired it.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

I prefer Halo 2. HaloCE was good, but Halo 2 has better multiplayer, and the Xbox Live interface is friendlier than using XBC.

It sucks when people think you're a hacker because you're good though. . . . [Me facing level 1's. . . they don't look at their motion sensor's at all].

[Mintz]

I like Halo 2. But sometimes it could just get boring after some hours but Halo wouldnt. I think they are both different in ways but I prefer Halo 2 because of the energy sword. I am really good with the energy sword XD

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Anyone can be "good" with the Energy Sword. The only skill you need with that is to kill experienced shotgun users.

[Nemphtis]

All the reasons you provided for liking Halo2 are just pointless. 'Nuff said.

[l3lueMage]

halo2 sucks, all hackerz..all i can say is halo2 is messed up only way they can stop hackerz is this:
1. Have maps on server side, so they compare the code with the one on the xbox, if diff kick from game.
2. if they stop the cd it checks and if it cant load any old maps kick.
3. if ping gets down to a certain point kick so no standbying.
4. ban people who hack FOREVER! its their own fault, dont go saying they wasted ur money by banning u forever, u hacked u pay the price.

[Saturos S.]

Halo is far better than Halo 2, I don't know why but the Halo world is much more fun then the earth because you can do much more then. On the Halo world you race buggy's and everything without getting blown-up.

And I think you just get to do more stuff solo, I agree the team part with the marines is fun but they get in the way after a while and are sometimes just annoying...

Not that Halo 2 isn't bad or anything but Halo is better :silence:
