Never had an Xbox prior to the Xbone either. MCC is a real treat
[quote]So the first halo was great, amazing. Your standard first person shooter with excellent level design, music, and gameplay. It had its flaws, namely in storytelling pacing (IMO) and it's ending, but it made up for it in solid controls and excellent pure testosterone fueled action[/quote]
Ugh. Halo 1 was garbage. Absolutely hated it. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. I have no idea how ANYONE can say that it's AMAZING and even less so by modern standards. It starts off well but IMMEDIATELY became dull and uneventful. There were so few cutscenes if you multiplied the cutscene time for the whole game by 50 you still wouldn't have as many as a single Metal Gear Solid game. There's so little context to the game it's downright CRINGEWORTHY. I couldn't stand it. The only memorable part was the beginning and the part where the Flood are revealed. That's about it. Chief never spoke and there were no memorable characters. I'd give it a 4/10 to be perfectly honest.
Halo 2 on the other hand is the complete polar opposite. It's video game art! I'd give it a 9/10. EVERYTHING was improved upon and made to near perfection. Had a bit of fun in the multiplayer as well despite the lack of sprinting. Halo 2 was the best Halo. Wouldn't give it a 10/10 because of the AI and the levels still dragged a bit more than I care for like they did in CE

Mainly nostalgic keeps people loving Halo CE. Many will say it has an incredible story, so on and so forth. And while it is great, it is great because of what it was, not what it is today. Doesn't really hold up all that well. But it was my first FPS that I got into.

[quote]Many will say it has an incredible story, so on and so forth.[/quote] Even then it's story isn't that good. The story ITSELF maybe a bit over average but it's narrative is AWFUL. There were better games to get at the time like Metal Gear Solid 2 or Final Fantasy X
-
Perhaps. However, neither of those are FPSs, and at the time most FPS games had incredibly subpar stories. It's relative to the genre, I suppose.
-
Ce would of blown you away at the time. Your right though only nostalgia gets me through it now. It's aged horribly.

andy pls b trol
-
Why are you using metal gear solid as a cutscene comparison? Thats just silly. Those games are some of the best movies I've ever played
-
and some of the greatest games ever made

Cough cough nudge nudge 20 -blam!-ing minute codec call in mgs2 lol
-
Lol MGS2 had too many codec calls. They toned it down in 3
-
CE hasn't aged well.

I can understand that,i certainly had those complaints just didn't feel they impacted yhe experience to much for me. And as far as halo 2 goes I tend to rate the game highly when I play it and then,say when I've reviewed halo 3 odst and 4, I'll go back and say my thoughts on it then. It'll prolly be 5-6/10 for halo 1 and a 8-9/10 for halo 2 Thanks for the input :)
