yeah, single player in both blows--especially since it still has all the old settings (weeeeak battle rifle, weeeeeeeak melees, sloooooow grenades, etc.). The multiplayer in Halo 2 is far better, imo, especially because of the maps, which are a huge improvement. They just re-did two of the Halo 1 maps for 2, though--Hang 'em High and some other one. They both suck, though.

I think the other one is a remake of Derelict. A mediocre level at best. Hang Em High was a classic deathmatch map in H1, but if you say it sucks now, thats too bad.

Correct you are. The Hang em High re-make is at least somewhat decent, but it's nowhere near as good as the original was--mainly because it's so fucking dark that you can't see anybody.

As for the Derelict re-make...wow. What an abysmal creation. The worst thing about it is that the weapon set consists of the most n00bish weapons in the entire game. Rockets, sword, sentinel beam, needlers, and shotgun all make an appearance. There are two BRs on the entire level. Nonsense.

never. They shouldn't ban anyone--they should just make all the modders & standbyers play only backwash and the new Derelict. No one would ever cheat again.

As others pointed out, Halo 1 and 2 had killer multiplayer. Hell, even playing through the campaign on split screen was fun as well. My ex actually went out and bought Halo 2 when it came out so that we could play it after finishing Halo 1. It was an approachable game. I'm a die-hard PC gamer, and to me most FPS on consoles are rubbish for the simple fact of a total lack of any precise and intuitive control. Halo actually wasn't half-bad in that department either.

i only play swat games now more fun imo

I'm not a fan of what they did to BTB, though...making it one game, up to 6 people, and unranked. That sucks.

Next time you're on, send me an invite if you wanna play:

I know you're a gamer, and you know your shit. Your not liking Halo isnt unreasonable; I have several buddies who refuse to play. Most of them think the game is too slow. Hopefully they speed things up for the 3rd edition, and maybe you'll take a liking so I can beat some RJT ass on Live...!!
