Whats Missing in Halo 2's Campaign. A Detailed Analysis

Okay so I just finished playing The Maw, completing Halo CE for th 20th time. I realized then that I had only played through Halo 2 twice, once on normal and once on legendary.I also realized that Halo CE was way more fun in single-player than Halo 2 ever was. I then asked myself, WHY ? I came up with these reasons. - The weapons are much more satisfying in Halo CE. The AR had this awesome blend of noise, muzzle fire, and melee animation to keep me using it even though it was highly ineffective in legendary. All the weapons in Halo CE were just awesomely fun to use. The explosion and screen shake effect you get from firing a rocket is awesome. Also, the granades in Halo CE look and are so much more powerful, it was so much fun to toss a frag in a group of grunts, and watch the immense explosion followed by the chain reaction of grenade explosions that followed killing everything in its blast radius. That made me feel like a badass. The plasma weapons fired with more oomph too. Another thing, the chaingun turret on the hog, in Halo CE was just so much more powerful looking and feeling as it rattled the controller. The sound was so much better too. The turrets in Halo 2 sound like popcorn popping. I can't explain it but melee looked more realistic in Halo CE, it looks too artificial now. -The Flood was much more fun to fight in Halo CE, they actually came in swarms. In Halo 2 you never fight more than 6 at a time. I remember in Halo CE how there were moments when you were being swarmed by flood, and you kept looking at your shotgun ammo counter as you used shell after shell, and desperation started to set in because your ammo was beginning to run out, and you started to reload but the onslaught wouldn't stop so you interrupted reloading and started shooting again. Moments like these were priceless with off the chart excitement levels, especially with a friend. - A level like The Maw, Period. -The opening Sequence in the silent Cartagrapher. To give Halo 2 credit, the Scarab Chase was awesome, Almost reaching The Maw level of excitement. (Nothing Can reaching the Warthog Run's level of excitement, NOTHING). -Im sure there's more things you guys have.
