Halo is defiantly a better game than halo 2.1. Vehicles were Weapons! And were more fun to drive. They ALL had less movement constraints in Halo 1. Warthog: bounce, slide, jump, sharp turns, wild spins, full throttle sounds, more dirt smoke, sharper look Generally it looked and drove more like a truck than a compact car. How are you supposed to rundown and smash enemies in a vehicle that blows up when you crash it.Tank: More agile, better controls and viewing perspective, much faster, could climb better (although the machine gun sucked)Ghost: jumped higher, more control, tricks were possible, more practical look (less cheesy)Banshee: IT COULD HOVER.... More control, faster, more maneuverable, sleeker look.2.IN HALO 1 YOU DIED INSTEAD OF YOUR VEHICLES!!! Who wants that type of realism in a sci-fi shooter. Having invincible vehicles makes it more about you staying alive and destroying the enemy rather than keeping your vehicle from blowing up and having to walk around the expansive yet limited maps(walking is slower in halo 2 and the walking sounds are better in halo1)...theirs more strategic and action packed game play possibilities when you don't have to worry about your vehicle blowing up. ITS SIMPLY MORE FUN!!! Improvements that could have been made for halo 2 vehicles: only when you lose your all of your armor and die while in the vehicle, should they blow up...For Halo 3 Bungie needs to give the player the ability to SELECT the, Spartan armor styles, weapon settings, vehicle models and control styles. All three games need to be given their due in the final chapter of halo....This is important so hardcore fans and newbs alike can enjoy all styles of game play. Classic mode, Revisited mode, and Final Mode, should be available, that way everybody will get the halo experience they were looking for. I want the option to drive a Halo 1 warthog wearing the classic master chief battle suit. And nobody say that its to much work...not only is this the final installment in the halo series, its coming out on 360.HALO Combat Evolved Pros:3. Landscape is more vast and alluring, the background is amazingly beautiful and sharp.4. Indoor level structure is more practical, immersive and clean.5. Indoor skins are higher resolution up close and have better lighting6. The structures, shapes, patterns, colors, holograms, symbols misc. junk all complement the scale of the maps, the mood, scenery, and the overall alien environment. (it was like traveling through a giant microchip...actually that was the Idea but most people don't get that.7. The music was more effective in setting the mood and story telling.8. The game had an over all better believability in the story, functions, graphics, sounds, and characters9. The flood and Marine units were much more realistic in their own respects...The flood had realistic skin tones and you could actually see that what you were looking at, was a creepy, mutated, dilapidated, walking human corps...and the covenant flood...Well, a pumped up, extremely pissed-off, agile, intimidating, infested elite bad *bottom*. Well...you shouldn't give up a good thing. The marines in the first looked beat up...That’s the way they should look...plus the black armor was a nice change from most combat games...the marines looked tough talked tough and fought tough they ran straight towards enemies they brought the car straight to you and they had great one liners...like any good action movie...halo 2 was lame, you have a guy that does nothing but ***** and a drill Sargent that sounds more like a cheerleader.10. Halo 2 honestly looked like a cheap Latino version of Halo...bright colors, adobe buildings, palm trees... AZTEC STYLE BUILDINGS!!!......and the civilian vehicles OMG? I thought it was supposed to be the future... Listen to the music in the first Arbiter level, it screamed MEXICO!!! Also look at the rebels Banshee's... They came straight out of low-rider magazine...that’s as cheesy as it gets. By the way im not bashing latin style or anything Im just saying Its not like Mexican culture inspired the art of the first Halo. The game designer’s had a great opportunity to advance a wonderful unilateral style that disregarded what was artistic and focused on what was practical and realistic. The halo sequel was a continued story that overhauled the whole format destroying a look an feel that was completely original. A cutting edge game turned it into a cartooned joke. More importantly the original style made Halo a game that we would never forget. And those that haven’t forgotten the original want more. WE DON’T WANT SOMETHING NEW! WE WANT MORE HALO! GIVE IT TO US!!! 11. THE WEAPONS OH MY GOD! The SMG in no way comes close to a worthy replacement of the AR...Its not even a futuristic looking weapon, Its provides absolutely no superiority in firepower style or function. The battle rifle would have made a good addition, unfortunately it was more of an annoying go between gun, that never had enough ammo and delivered limited fire power...The aiming veering when you hold down the trigger to mow down the enemy, is a bunch of crap. Your supposed to be a futuristic, super, cybernetically enhanced, warrior and your telling me that I cant even hold a little machine gun straight...12.The alien Sniper rifle... that was an unbelievably stupid and annoying mistake...forget that... I don’t want to get picked off by some alien leper hiding in the dark. I wanna see the whites of his eyes... I wanna chase him down, take him on, and gun him down in a blaze of glory.13.CONVINCING MELEE ATTACK!!! What happened here, I mean you have to be so close you might as well head butt him. When the enemy comes at me, I want to smash his head in with the end of my gun, not my elbow. And when you pop the guy on the top of his head it just looks lame the old melee’s looked kick *bottom*!14.Bungi needs to do away with the new shotgun the old one was great! Bungie can give Barney his glowing aim dot shotgun back, to blow his head off with. What’s the point in putting glowing aim dots on a shot gun when you have a HUD in your helmet plus the bright green looks cheesy. 15.Back to the alien sniper...During the game who wants to stop…. wait for the little gay purple beam of light to knock out your shields, and leave you vulnerable, while you look for the coward hiding on some far away cliff... Then you try to shoot the little bastard with some half *bottom* semi-automatic pea shooter, or a weak inaccurate pistol. 16.Bring back the magnum!!! It looked great it had the best reload and stationary animations of all the weapons. the reflection was clean along with the sound and power. The old shotgun magnum combo was perfect it needs to be once again.17.The final injustice was the story...................WTF..................The game was divided for Christ sake, oh good I can play as an alien now and use all the same weapons and gain 1 ability that could have been added to master chiefs armor...how clever play as the enemy its sooooo interesting. so now you cant shoot elites in the next game...In halo three the elites will be on your side...lame lame lame....the elites were the symbol of the covenant...now the brutes will take that role...please! they could have thought of something better like....You kill all in your way! and the war continues....Except! a small group of Elite covenant forces led by the arbiter excommunicate to earths army due to the betrayal of the prophets and fight alongside The Master Chief!... that sounds good... The elites were all about loyalty and honor, their society was built around their faith, oh! so because they lose their honorable position next to the prophets, they all turn against everything they believe....no...no no no they could have made it work. I want to fight elites in halo 3 and that’s it...brutes are ridiculously dumb, slow, simple characters that only made to make elites look better. They were not meant to be common enemies. The captains daughter, big tough pretty captain girl takes control. We had a tough pretty female character it was CORTANA, 2 is 1 to many? Come on man! Oh and there are lots of Halos and they are all culturally coordinated the 2nd Halo was Latino LOL. Lets see what they do with it but I’m sure Halo 3 will be lame if its anything like Halo 2. The halo series needs to forget halo 2 ever happened, and work off of the strengths of the first halo...not the story of course, just the physical game play and effects...sharp graphics look good, tricks like soft gold light, rounded shapes, and fuzzy plasma effects, look like crap... It doesn't fool anybody with any common sense or taste. if it looks corny its crap thats it. BRING BACK HALO!!! I have more but I think you get the point.
