1. From what I've seen from Pariah, who the hell cares.

2. I prefer Halo1 oddly enough and as much as i hate to admit it because of the following:

Halo2 requires far less skill to get lots of kills. Halo1 was all about pistol sniping and the better you were the more you dominated. I loved the pistol. So to not have it in Halo2 meant any noob with a sword was just as good as everyone else.

Next, they changed the physics in halo2 to be more "realistic." In other words, when you got in a head on collision in 2 worthogs now, instead of flying 50 feet into the air and then come crashing down, now they jsut smash into each other with an unsatisfying thud. vehicular damage isn't all that great, i pereferred them indestructible, no fall damage was a HUGE mistake, new health system makes sniping utterly pointless, i could go on.
