Campaign
Halo 3's campaign is the best campaign out of the whole trilogy. The missions aren't all in the same setting like Halo Combat Evolved was where the second half of the game was mostly going through previous missions but it the other direction. Halo 3's campaign is better than Halo 2's cause the story didn't focus mostly on the battle of earth and the master chief but the arbiter and the covenant. Halo 2's campaign was good and I enjoyed it allot but I would of preferred to play as master chief bit more than arbiter.

The gameplay was fun and didn't repeat itself to much as one mission you would be run and gunning and the next be driving a warthog. This keeps the gameplay fresh and keeps players more interested. Halo 1 was mostly run and gun apart from the short segments where you drive a warthog and a scorpion. The meta-game feature adds a competitive and lots of replay value to the campaign when people try and beat friends or the old score on a mission, This was the best feature of the campaign and the only why I still play campaign today.

The campaign isn't all good. The atmosphere isn't good I would have preferred an ODST style mission atmosphere which would have been great on the flood missions. The atmosphere on the mission is mostly sunny and clear sky day even on the last mission where they could have had it snowing.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer on Halo 3 is similar to Halo 2's with a few improvements. The new medals where good cause Halo 2 didn't have a lot of medals. The new medals are great because you could easily get all of the medals in Halo 2. EXP makes the multiplayer even more addictive. The fact that you have to win to get EXP make teamwork even more important cause unlike COD and Reach you can rank up unless you win so the people who are high ranks earned it(unless they boosted or bought their rank).

The maps are better in Halo 3 cause in Halo 2 the maps where not well textured. Heretic the remake of midship looks allot better with just new textures. The maps are different and all have different tactics which players must use to win on each map. This is good then it makes it hard to win over and over again because you have to change your game plan.

This shows that Halo 3 is far superior to any other Halo game
but this just my opinion.

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

The campaign: Sucked compared to the first two.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Funny joke. You should be a comedian.

Nobody can really deny that Guilty Spark was pretty much the worst Boss Battle of all time. Bungie failed hardcore on that one.

But Halo 3's campaign was WAAAY better than Halo 2's. I really didn't like Halo 2's. At all, really. I played it because the story kept fascinating me and the multiplayer rocked socks. Also the music was cool.

H3 and H2 campaign were both mediocre, CEs was amazing, and reaches was an abomination.

If only Bungie had made it more open, then it could have been promising (Guilty Spark assassination anyone? ;) ). But unfortunately, that annoying forcefield thing made the whole thing scripted.

Yeah, but the glitches didn't. And that is the main reason why I still play it. Take a look at this (go to 00:00:52) and let's see if you can do this on Halo 2 or CE.

CE's campaign is overrated. I can only remember it being good, but it suffered heavily due to copy & paste level design used throughout the levels. Halo 2 was great, both story wisely and gameplay, but I personally hated the Arbiter's missions', because the levels as him were boring and repetitive.
Halo 3 was mediocre, and IMO Reach had a great campaign, despite the storyline.
