There are beautiful, artistic things that happen in that game that can only happen in a video game. No other medium would be able to tell the same story in the same way, and have it be as poignant.

Halo 2 > Halo 1; H1 was groundbreaking, but H2 was an improvement

Noni Fruit

Yes but H1 laid the ground work and was/is amazing.

The 2nd Halo was the better game out of them all... best graphics, best story

Coug

2/8/23 2:16pm

I don't disagree, I just think Halo having come from nothing was more impressive

I agree... Halo 2 though has far superior graphics and story... the visuals of Halo 2 are incredible...
