I liked Halo 2 better by not much, but you could tell they improved the game.

Halo: CE--
Halo 2---- I
thats one for halo 2

Halo2 coz it is better to play as the master chief in duel weild and that i like the lines that the marines make: i just swear along with them: like the cut scenes BUT hated the arbiter and them mutant cocroaches that fly around which you just shoot thier wings. But i still loved halo2 better!

I think HALO 2 would be much better than HALO. One of the reasons DarthBob mentioned is the fact that you can dual wield weapons, such as the sub-machine gun. The other reason, to me, is that the assault rifle deals more damage (which I liked) than the previous HALO because the assault rifle in HALO is so underpowered that you need many bullets to kill an enemy. I really hated that gun so much.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the PC version of HALO 2 since I don't have an XBOX.

You need to have windows Vista to play it I think.

Anyways I like both Halo CE and Halo 2 the same, but for different reasons. I really liked the Halo CE campaign but not so much Halo 2's. I also liked the pistol from H1 but disliked all the other wepons. And in H2 i love how it has xbox live, playing against the same people got really lame in H1.

Halo:
Halo 2:III

Halo 2 would be so much better if you didnt play as the arbiter. I HATED and always will hate the flood. But thats mostly the only things wrong with H2.

You're right. HALO 2 is confirmed only for Windows Vista. What a pity. Well, I just hope that they (Bungie) will make HALO 2 compatible with Windows XP as well, though it's just wishful thinking on my part.

I would have to go with Halo CE. Halo 2 was basically the same as Halo Ce except with a new storyline and a few new weapons. Halo CE started the allmighty monster of a series that is the Halo games. Therefore, my vote falls with Halo CE

lol did'nt know that there was a tread about Halo

got to say Halo 2, more weapons, a cool story, fighting on earth, the brute(the big monkey man). what that was bad was that you did'nt the old assulte rifle.and some glitch to(some of the wher cool)..

but the hell was Halo (1) a gooooooood begining...but as you said FPS=BEST The library was like hell..it never ends, you'r like runing, stop and the shot till the orical opend the doors and keep doing that for some time..

yeah, The Library was sersoisly one of the worst levels in any game bar none.


Halo CE: I
HALO 2: IIIII

I don't get why everyone hates playing as the Arbiter. The only time you can tell the difference is when you stare at the hands. Personally, I hate marines. It's nice to be partnered with someone with energy shields. I've never liked fighting the flood and I guess you do that more as Arbiter. That's the only negative thing I noticed about him. That and accidentally attacking your teammates.

It isn't that the assault rifle deals more damage, it's just they are for different situations. In Halo CE the assault rifle could barely touch any one from a distance but close up it would rip enemies into shreds, where as in Halo 2 the battle rifle is very effective but loses its advantage the closer you get to it.

Halo 2

Fuel rod gun
Energy sword.
Dual plasma Rifles
Arbiter!

I would have to say halo 2.

For many reason. For one you have more guns. Also it allows you to peek into the covenant side of the game. Also even though its short it oddly has more detail.

The under side of it all is that the story line is almost the exact the same Halo: CE.

You fight the flood but not as Master Chief (Here by called Mc) only as the arbiter.

You stop Halo from firing. (Not as Mc) You save the day and leave a huge opening for another version of the game.
The only differences were that there were maybe 3 new levels. Bungie also admits in a press release some where that they could have done better with the game.
Graphics, although better then the first halo, sucked. Horribly sucked. Sucked to the point in which made me want to hurl my Xbox out the window.

6/8 faces were the same. Speech never differed. And who the hell thought that a plasma round would bounce off a flat side of a tank?!?

The muliplayer on the other hand was loads more detailed. I think that's the only strong point of the game was online game play. (Even though it was filled with morons who cant play )
