Do you think that HALO has the best plot of any video game or is there another game that you think had a better storyline? List your ideas for what game has a better story. Also if you think that HALO has the best plot, name some runner-ups.
Also do you think any other game will beat HALO 2 in terms of how well the stroyline is told?

I liked KOTOR's storyline, but Halo's was top-notch.

I like Metal Gear Solid's story better. But then again, i prefer modern day military stories rather than science fiction.

Yeah im sure everyone likes the gameplay as far as im concerned. im not trying to say that storyline will ever beat gameplay. but i think halo has had the best story so far out of the games i have played. with Silent Hill 2 either as a tie or coming behind it very close. i dont know why. most game's stories are fine but halo's was really gripping compelling and actually something to pay attention about.

just a note: im not talking about how well the story is told, im talking about how interested you are in the plot. Like MGS 2 told the story in cut-scenes that were superb but the actual storyline sucked to me.

Marathon.

If you think Halo's better, you're just video game ignorant. I feel for you. It looks like ILB and Halo 2 might be able to give it a run for its money though. . . . (terminals and text beat sin-o-matixx anyday).

The Homeworld series comes close.

So does Freespace... Come to think of it, Freespace 2's storyline is remarkably similar in style to Halo's.

Hey now, it's a fact that most people here haven't had a chance to play Marathon. Personally, I got to try Marathon 2: Durandal but I quickly lost interest. Nowadays the graphics just seem too horrible to ignore, besides I felt restricted when I couldn't look up or down very much. It's a question of luxury, sure, but computer games all about the luxury (that's including storylines and gameplay).

[Edit]

I have however been reading a lot on the storyline on Marathon, so I know I'm missing out on something. But with these new games, I've simply got my bases covered.
