I agree.

I loved H2's story etc best in the trilogy. Must say tho: the actual levels were a lot better in Halo CE. But the 2 sided story, the more background put into the story, the more interesting cutscenes...doesn't get better than that. I really think H3's campaign was nothing compared to it.

Please bring back depth in the story, make it bigger again.

What spectagon are you in?

Halo 2's campaign was amazing. i hope Reach is more like that, and they do missions from the covenants point of view like when you play as the arbiter on Halo 2.

I concur, a lot of people bashed Halo 2 campaign that I know anyway as being the worst of the 3. I think completely opposite the gameplay was much more exciting, many new things introduced and I loved the way skulls worked as well. I think reach should bring back assassin mode as well.

I preferred Halo CE's campaign to all of them, but Halo 2's was still great. With any luck, Reach will be a great game to replay.

We're talking campaign, not multiplayer.

oh, my bad.
but still I feel like it's an important point to add in general when you mention halo 2.

Too true. Halo 2's maps were unbeatable.

Yea if this was about the whole package I would have talked about every H2 map being epic, so don't worry mate ;)

I think I can best describe it this way, how I like the campaigns of the Halos.

CE:
- Best leveldesign
- Very well told story
- Story easy to understand
- Campaign feels grand, overwhelming almost.

H2:
- level design is average
- Arbiter side of the story is great (but sometimes the execution of the idea was a bit flawed)
- Story is not as easy to understand anymore, BUT: it brings in a lot more depth to it all. Story is far more interesting than before.
- This campaign screams: EPIC!

H3:
- level design is sometimes bad (Floodgate/Cortana) and sometimes nearly as good as CE's levels (The Covenant/The Ark)
- taking away the Arbiter as a playable character undermined the whole bigger picture sketched in H2.
- Story lacks in delivery, many cutscenes are far too non-narrative. From the start you know what to expect.
- Campaign feels old, been there done that. Its good...but not what we wanted it to be. Where are my epic fights for Earth? Underwhelming.

ODST:
- leveldesign is average
- story is better than expected, nice and simple.
- Campaign feels...short but good.

I concider Halo CE to be like SW: A New Hope. It introduces us to the world, shows the villains, takes mainly place in 1 location (Halo installation - Death Star) and wraps up neatly. H2 is like Empire Strikes Back: Bigger, explains more, takes place in more locations, cliffhanger but damn its awesome!
