I don’t know why, but, despite I’m a Halo fan, I’m only a fan of Halo 1. The other two games just don’t do it for me; though I like the idea of some of the story through the Covenant POV, in the end, the Grunts just remain evil, proven by no friendly ones in the third (and did anyone notice how different they look in Halo 3? Real faithful, Bungie!). They also seemed to focus a little more on the action/violence than on the story suspense like in the first one.
It wasn’t just the storyline, though; as a soundtrack nut, I found the first game to be the only one of the three in which I felt most of the pieces were worth listening to; I liked a few original (not too many of those in the sequels, for some reason) cues from Halo 2, and that was it for the sequels. And, in relation to the first, many of the good pieces (such as the music that concludes the tale of Captain Keyes, putting it lightly) were never even officially released, meaning you have to either record the pieces or use a modding application to extract them instead of just getting the soundtrack CD.
In short, if you truly do like Halo 1 and haven’t played its sequels, I personally would not recommend doing so.
SgtYayap - I can see why you say that about Halo 1 compared to the other two games… I like all three games but whenever I sit down to play Halo, I always seem to pick out the first one.
Hey, just saw your video and I have on word to say, awesomeness.
I always knew those little guys weren’t bad. You should do a mod where you can play through the Campaign as a Grunt.
P.S. Do you have website where you can download theses mods.
I have done brief experiments for other mods, including playing as a Grunt. However, for the campaigns, that often means being unable to do some things important to progress in the game (i.e. getting into a Pelican). Maybe I’ll figure that out at some point, but, for now, I just can’t.
As for a site to download them, sorry, but I don’t have them uploaded. I can provide you links to the software I used, though.
