Well, I liked Halo, but I prefer Halo 2. Kind of like how I perfer Oblivion to Morrowind (I'm sorry if I just angered any Morrowind lovers).
The battle rifle is alright with me, and so is the assualt rifle. But the SMG filled its spot well in my opinion. And I only play heroic on Outskirts and Metropolis, and even then I might get owned by some Jackal sniper or Elite. I only wish you could use a fuel rod gun in multiplayer (yes, I know you can use it in the PC version of Halo 1). And I thought the ending was pretty good (better than the Halo ending). I *do* miss the original pistol though.
Halo 3 looks promising, and I hope you can get to use more vehicles and new weapons. So I'm looking forward to 2007 (and Mass Effect).
