halo 2 is a better game then halo CE

I dont understand why everybody (atleast most people) says Halo CE was a better game. In terms of single player, yes halo CE was better

but halo 2 wins without a doubt in multiplayer and thats what halo is all about

if you think halo CE is better tell me why

Both were EXCELLENT games, but prepare to get flamed from haters who will complain about noob comboing and shorter campaigns. I personally cannot separate the two. I liked them both equally very much. 

The problem that I have with Halo is grenades.  Their grenade mechanics are TERRIBLE, imo.  Many maps can simply be turned into grenade chuck-fests.  Halo CE has a much better balance than Halo 2.  The only real problem that I see with CE was the magnum.  Its power should have been cut about 1/3, and it would have been perfect.

what is not to get?

 What you said is the state of play, people say halo2 sucks but wins in multiplayer, halo1 campaign rules .... so whats the deal?

Both are equally bad.Spikenenspikspi

The Best Console FPS games ever are bad. :|

No it's not. Most gamers value SP over MP, and Halo CE had the far superior one. Bungie even admitted that they screwed up with Halo 2.joeblak

 Yes, because they couldn't include everything they wanted in it. That didn't make it a bad game. I hate when people quote the developers on this but don't include WHY the developers said that.

Actually Halo 2 was better in every way.Spartan070

LOL! wow... halo is not and never has been the best FPS consoles ever had. Goldeneye is not only a milestone in console FPS, but in FPS history as well. It will go down as one of the most innovative shooter of all time right there next to the original Half-Life. Even Perfect Dark, a game that is 7 years old, is STILL better than halo ever was. Timesplitters is good too. Metroid Prime is amazingly original. Halo is fun. But the best? Absolutely not.

I always thought that Shotgun/Pistol was basically the best pairing in CE. Besides, I wouldn't call the pistol overally gamebreaking since everybody started out with it and you still needed to know how to zoom n' move without getting killed.

online on halo 2 was a blast, played a ton for a whole month. i feel REALLY bad for people who didnt have live that bought this game tho. i played through campain once and that was pushing it.users-name

Would you consider yourself the norm? I don't know many people who beat any game 91 times.

Halo: Combat Evolved had a much bigger impact than Halo 2. A lot of the ideas presented in Halo have become standards for the genre, Halo 2 just expanded on those ideas rather than introducing any new ones.TyrantDragon55

Thus, the reason it scored lower.

I liked Halo: Combat Evolved more, but played Halo 2 more because of its Xbox Live multiplayer. However, if Halo: Combat Evolved had Xbox Live, I'd be playing that more.

While he shouldn't feel bad, it's a known fact that there were people (Me, for example) who were disappointed with Halo 2's campaign. That's something that plenty of people made clear and you should really just accept it. I do agree, however, that those who were disappointed with the single player shouldn't be speaking for you.

Yep! Gamespot said that, so they must be the greatest first person shooters ever! [/sarcasm]

The problem people have with H2, is that while the single player is still outstanding, it's only the Multiplayer portion that truly moved forward leaps and boundsbraydee1234

I don't believe that Halo 2's multiplayer was really better. Tons of people just say that because of Xbox Live, but that doesn't mean that the actual multiplayer gameplay was better. Like I said before, if Halo: Combat Evolved had Xbox Live, I'd be playing that more than Halo 2.

I didn't say that, I said they were superb games, which is what the most credible source stated (check what forum you are on next time before you post).  

multiplayer and thats what halo is all about

hmmmm on console I can't debate about it but if we're talking about in overall then that a different story.:(

Many of today's FPS conventions were introduced in Halo, so no it is not just another FPS.

Bu.. bu.. but teh multiplay!!!!!1!!11 

the Xbox Matchmaking system probably saved Halo 2 in the end.  What would the game have been without it?

Like? The ONLY truly innovative thing I found in the Halo series was the dual wielding in Halo 2. That was, in fact, the best dual wielding system ever incorperated into a game.

- Recharging Health

- Melee attack with every weapon

- limiting the number of weapons you can carry

- giving grenades their own seperate button instead of making them weapons you have to equip.

Funny cause Goldeneye did it long before Halo was even created. Im sorry but no shooter has better double weilding then Goldeneye, dual Moonraker laser or AK47's was pure pwnage, or dual rocket launchers or grenade launchers as well.

It was the first game I played on the Xbox, yes back in 2001, and I found it to be extremly boring.
