CE isnt a classic because its good

Its a classic because at the time, it was the first of its kind, and no one had seen anything like it. It revolutionarised gaming. People were amazed. But now, ten years later, you lok a it and realise ifs a pretty crap game The only reason people still say they love it is because they loved it at the time and refuse to let go, and refuse to let newer games in. Thats why theres so much hate for Reach IMO. And i think Bungie knew this. They knew no one had seen anything like it, and they would be so blown away by it that they woulldnt realise how crappy a game it was. They didnt have to make it good. They could have easily made it to the quality of Halo 2 or Halo 3. These two games are great because bungie realised people would expect more. I know i said i'd leave you guys alone, but i had to get this off my chest. Now to prepare for the armies of evil nostalogic people (sorry been playing too much Oblivion) And any typos in thispost are down to this crappy iPad, not me

  • Oh shut up already. You've already convinced us enough you have extreme passion about something you know nothing about. Get over yourself and stop spamming the forums with hate towards the game. These are your reasons so far to say Halo: Combat Evolved isn't that great: [quote]The Campaign is like a giant maze[/quote] Pretty much everyone here agrees you have to be below the average intelligence of a 6 year old to actually be confused by Halo's Campaign levels. What maze has waypoints and arrows guiding you everywhere you go? That's essentially all you have against it. I suspect this entire hatred of Halo: Combat Evolved is because you're so brain dead that you can't handle going through the "maze" of a Campaign. You're a part of a generation of gamers that have to have games spoon fed to them like infants. Also, people still play older games. There are currently around 1,700 people on Halo Custom Edition v1.00 right now playing. The game has a net code that makes most people want to tear their hair out (yet at the same time offers a higher skill gap) and yet they still play it. Apparently Bungie did a lot more right than you give them credit for. By the way, try to at least give an intelligent reply if you do give any. "Pfft" and "Meh" again will just make you look even more stupid than you already are showing yourself to be. [Edited on 12.28.2011 6:17 PM PST]

  • Story was arguably one of the best in the series. For newcomers playing Halo CE as their first Halo game, the plot was amazing. When I first played through, I did not see the whole Guilty Spark neglecting to tell the player that Halo would destroy sentient life, nor the Flood being as deadly as they were. Multiplayer is still a blast, even on PC with a poor netcode it's still fun. Not as glitchy as the others or with button combo's etc. Only fault I have is the Pistol which could be balanced but was fun to use and the OHK vehicle splatter. Co-op is still a blast to this day, the levels are nice and big with alot of tricks you can do here and there. Granted Halo 2 has the most exploration and tricks but Halo CE still has it's fair share. And please, if you think it's a poor game then stop posting about it. We know your a Halo 2/3 fanboy, which is ironic considering you sold Halo 2 for lunch money (probably why you can't navigate the "mazes"). Halo 3 was a next gen take on Halo CE's campaign (Covenant nod to the Silent Cartographer anyone?) but fact is even Halo 2 had it's flaws. This is the last time i'm going to post in one of your ridiculous threads slamming Halo CE whilst claiming the others to be perfect. They're all good, and they all have flaws. None were bad games.

  • I honestly don´t think the campaign was that good in the original CE, more lame than good. But I am not saying that it´s bad. I think it´s very good but when compared to the other Halo games (H2 and H3) I think it is worse. I think it is far away from as good as Halo 2s campaign. But now with anniversary (and terminals) I think it might be as good as Halo 3s campaign. And for me H3s campaign is not that far away from H2s. And I agree. I think it´s the classic because it´s simply the first Halo. [Edited on 12.29.2011 10:28 AM PST]

  • Idk why you think it's crappy because it's old. Haven't you ever borrowed a friend's N64 and just played super smash bros or the original mario on NES? Yes, in someways today's games are better, with improved graphics, physics, and easier to pick up and play. But a lot of them give you a straightforward experience that leaves nothing to the imagination. I remember exploring every area of Halo 1's "mazes" because at the time they were beautifully rendered and I could play it a hundred times to find hidden spots. Imo handheld gaming died at the GBA, and console gaming died in 2005 with the "next-gen" consoles. Spoon-feeding gamers an easy-to-pick up experience is marketable, but no game today has managed to match what I feel when I play that N64 or Halo 1 campaign. The "mazes" show off the game; you're looking at it out of context. Large, quality environments were part of what made Halo what it is, and you can't really get lost with waypoints and the constant flood of covenant ships. You can't just go comparing different generations of games; Halo 3 is a completely different Halo with more advanced physics, shinier effects, and a better engine. Just because you don't like it now compared to your OMFGGRANDTHEFTHALOGEARSOFWAR doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's like taking the original doom/1990s 3d games and comparing them to today's; of course it will look like -blam!-, but it was the best, and it always will be the best of its time.

It would take an absolute idiot to get lost in them.[/quote] It's absurd that people can get lost in Halo CE. As i've stated in a previous post, only 343 Guilty Spark and The Library have briefly left a few relatives of mine confused but apart from that as you said Omega, it's next to impossible to get lost with arrows and waypoints holding your hand to show you the way. OP is just poor at Halo in general. As for the story, Halo CE set the plotline for all future Halo's, of course it may not have the best of the series because it was there to simply have a background to the game. Once the game reached overwhelming success, the future Halo games were able to expand on the universe and take things further (even though i still deem the original Halo plot to be very good, even for a game of it's age)

It's like all you care about is the superficial (how awesome the graphics are, how good the rag doll effects are, does this game have achievements?, etc.). Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't played Anniversary, but what is the difference between it and CE's campaign that makes CE lame but not Anniversary. I don't know about you guys, but to me story and gameplay are the two most important factors in a video game, and nothing comes close to those two. I'm thinking that those who trash Halo CE and praise all the others after it, never played CE until after they played the others and can't seem to understand that games have technologically improved from 2001 to 2011.

If anything, the entire UNSC forces should be with the Master Chief,not ensure that he succeeds in saving everyone

We had a massive build up and hype from Halo 2's ending but then it just suddenly stops and slows down. The end of the Covenant felt rushed but the epic battle towards the end of The Covenant was fairly well done. As for the UNSC battling for Chief to make sure he succeeds...he's fighting for Earth to stop the Covenant. The Halo Rings just made it a whole lot more difficult. By Halo 3, the Human fleet had finally given out and they only had a handful of ships and i'm assuming the 300 Super MAC's probably ruined most of Truth's fleet. They then as you know left to go to the Ark, with the Elites following with a few Human ships. The rest of the UNSC stayed back to defend Earth from the Flood?

The rest of the UNSC stayed back to defend Earth from the Flood?[/quote] Yeah I think the whole story of Halo was a little more grand than Bungie had originally planned, and proved more difficult to end in 3 games. In my personal opinion, I actually think each Halo has de-improved, probably more because of a 'been there done that' feel. The first Halo's campaign was untouchable when I played it back in the day and the game was a blast on splitscreen. No trash talking, t-bagging jerks over XBL,just friends having fun. You don't see that much anymore, now it's taking turns playing matches over XBL. Which brings me to Halo 2 being my second favorite because, of course, of multiplayer. Back when it was still a fresh online experience it was quite fun as well, and I really liked the maps in that game specifically. The exploration in that game was great too, both intentionally and unintentionally, cause super jumps and going outside the map were just as fun as what Bungie actually intended for you to do in that game. By the way, does anyone remember the sheer awesomeness that was getting out of Gemini. Definitely one of the most fun times I've had glitching out of a map Halo 3 was just more of the same on multiplayer and didn't keep me interested nearly as long. The story was rather sub-par IMO as well. Probably my least favorite Halo. I give Bungie kudos for the new direction they pushed with Reach, and while the game isn't groundbreaking I'm glad they did something different and I enjoy it on its own merits. And that's my take on the series. Never played Halo Wars and ODST just seemed like your average shooter to me, nothing special (except for the music, which was sublime and atmospheric and awesome!)

But I am not saying that it´s bad. I think it´s very good but when compared to the other Halo games (H2 and H3) I think it is worse. I think it is far away from as good as Halo 2s campaign. But now with anniversary (and terminals) I think it might be as good as Halo 3s campaign. And for me H3s campaign is not that far away from H2s. And I agree. I think it´s the classic because it´s simply the first Halo.[/quote] This whole thread is crazy, especially your response. So CE's campaign is lame, but Anniversary's is so much better? And what exactly is the big difference here? They polished it up, that's it, right? Same levels, same weapons, same story. It's like all you care about is the superficial (how awesome the graphics are, how good the rag doll effects are, does this game have achievements?, etc.). Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't played Anniversary, but what is the difference between it and CE's campaign that makes CE lame but not Anniversary. I don't know about you guys, but to me story and gameplay are the two most important factors in a video game, and nothing comes close to those two. I'm thinking that those who trash Halo CE and praise all the others after it, never played CE until after they played the others and can't seem to understand that games have technologically improved from 2001 to 2011.[/quote] There is no difference. The responses of some members of this forum astounds me. As you said and i can confirm, it's just Halo CE with updated graphics. The terminals weren't really all that interesting apart from 1 or 2 and the Keyes terminal. Skulls were a nice touch but they've been done before. To say it's as good as Halo 3's campaign because of these factors is just plain idiotic. In fact, I'd even go as far to say as Halo 3 had the weakest story of them all, it felt rushed and they borrowed alot of idea's from CE.[/quote] Halo CE had the weakest story IMO. Halo 2 had the best story of them all. I think the last 4 missions on Halo 2 were stunning, and the Covenant Civil War was portrayed very well Halo 3 may not have had the best story, but its all about the events of the previous games piecing together, and it's about the defeat of the Covenant ultimately. I'm really not that huge on ODSTs story. I mean, in all honesty the Battle for Earth seems a bit pointless. Master Chief is busy actually trying to save the Galaxy from the Halo Rings. If he fails, then everyone fails, and the galaxy will be obliterated. Therefore, there's no point in battling for earth. If anything, the entire UNSC forces should be with the Master Chief,not ensure that he succeeds in saving everyone[/quote] The fact your beginning to give more logical responses rather than spewing nonsense is a good start. Fair enough in your opinion but I disagree with you saying that Halo CE is garbage because it was the first etc but back to your quote, Halo 3 was weak because i felt the way Bungie portrayed the early Earth mission's wasn't that great. We had a massive build up and hype from Halo 2's ending but then it just suddenly stops and slows down. The end of the Covenant felt rushed but the epic battle towards the end of The Covenant was fairly well done. As for the UNSC battling for Chief to make sure he succeeds...he's fighting for Earth to stop the Covenant. The Halo Rings just made it a whole lot more difficult. By Halo 3, the Human fleet had finally given out and they only had a handful of ships and i'm assuming the 300 Super MAC's probably ruined most of Truth's fleet. They then as you know left to go to the Ark, with the Elites following with a few Human ships. The rest of the UNSC stayed back to defend Earth from the Flood?[/quote] Oh right so the main battle is for earth, and the Halo Rings are just an obstacle I was always under the impression that by the year 2552 the battle was more about stopping the covenant from activating the rings. If the war had been going on for ages before that why didnt the covenant attempt to activate the rings before?
