haha maybe I do...we'll let my bungie stats handle that arguement. I just can't stand that combo. I think the pp is just stupid in h2. pp ftw in 1!

Higher chance of success with the BR.

It's not nesacassrily more skillful to use the magnum, after all... spread is a random factor, it's not as if you can be skilled in knowing exactly where the bullet will end up.

Halo 1---Rocket hogs for PC.
I personally love Halo 1, both multiplayer and single. Sometime's I mod SP just to see how different/cool I can make the cintematics/levels using just Sparkedit and HHT.

Shove this in your pipe and smoke in mang!
BR's Spread = 0.005235988
Magnum's Spread = 0.004363323

but alas! it is only more accurate on the first few shots...BR is more accurate in the long run...
But as I said, its just one shot from the magnum and its more accurate...Just that it doesn't have 3 shot burst, but hell I don't need it. I have learned that others obviously do though.

edit: And now I realise I'm offtopic...
So....Erm, talking of halo 1 again makes me wanna play it...But my disk is almost dead

I just dislike all the physics and the playstyle of Halo 2. It's like they tried too hard to do a good job but failed. Like BF2.

Halo 1's graphics felt more real. Halo 2 has that halfassed cartoony look to it. It feels like they wanted everything COLORFULL. Way too colorfull though :/

There is no doubt in my mind that if Halo 1 had XBL (and they fixed the netcode...) it would be played more, if not as much as Halo 2 today.

Halo 1's AR just felt like a good weapon... it wasn't at all... but it felt like it was. It became a symbol for Halo. The AR is just a friggin awesome weapon because of how it looks and feels. The SMGs are just another weapon that don't have any personality to them like the AR does. The pistol... it felt wrong to drop the thing.

Halo 1 has it's glitches that it needs fixed though... like the whole turn and shoot thing.... (if you don't know what I'm talking about.... grab a rocket launcher... turn left or right really quick and shoot while spinning..... it'll go wherever your actual 3rd person biped is facing.)

Fix that, and the netcode... throw in XBL... and there ya go..... a game better than Halo 2 by far on XBL.

Oh... what's with the 4 Xbox SL limit?! BAH

Halo 2's masterchief and elite design > Halo 1's

*Halo 2's MJOLNIR > Halo 1

I much liked H1's Animations, particularly on the Elite.

I'm sure Bungie thought that making everything shiny in H2 would make people thing the graphics were good.

I miss the alien-speak from Halo 1.
Having elites in Halo 2 speak engilsh all the time took away from the fun.

"Come here demon! I've got a banana for you!"
Now that's hilarious and is better than "woot woot woot"but I also agree ith you to an extent

I agree with him completely, the covenant were shrouded in mystery before their voices were translated, they were somewhat scary...

Always happens with games when they allow you to see to much into the enemies background and stuff, particularly when you can play from their point of view. I hope Gears doesn't go that way, we can already play as the locust... which is a shame in my eyes, like playing as the elites in Halo 2.

Halo 1 by far. I had sooooooooo much fun with it, not to mention the story was much better.

Well... XBL definetly a plus plus for H2. however H1 is altogether better levels and other stuff. I miss some old levels... kind of depressing...
anyway.
I think H2 sucks campaign -wise, very lame...
H3 better have a great campaign or ... i dont know..
Also i thought that designing your own cheif was kinda cool... even though you're still pretty limited with that.... In H3 I want to see some major customization! Who's with me? WOoT!

They seem to be making it pretty deep...they're adding an option for a female voice for the Spartan (haven't heard any mention of the Elite being in Halo 3 as a multiplayer character) because of the increasing population of girl gamers.

I never understood people's complaints with that...I never noticed any difference. Maybe it's my style of playing...but I dunno.
