Overal:
1: Halo 2
2: Halo CE (but thats like...1 tiny little point behind #1)
3: Halo Reach
4: Halo ODST/Wars
5: Halo 3
In separate categories:
Best campaign: Halo CE/Reach tie
Best story: Halo 2
Best multiplayer: Halo 2
Best replay: Halo 2
Best soundtrack: Halo ODST/2 tie
Most complete package: Reach
Halo 3 is worst because it was a huge letdown compared to Halo 2. Halo 2's story was amazing and set up for such an epic conclusion....Then came H3: removed Arby, removed Covie side of view, making the story very very one sided and shallow again. No epic fight for Earth, just one small space battle and that was it: end of trilogy...
Multiplayer: nothing fundamentally wrong except for that it just wasn't as much fun as Halo 2 was. One of the reasons being the very, VERY weak map design compared to Halo 2.
The sad thing is, ODST, the "expansion Halo" actually DID show an invasion of Earth, and DID feel as if you were fighting on a planet that was suddenly being overrun by an enemy much stronger than you.
I respect your list and reasoning the most so far. I really like your take on everything
This is how mine goes:
#1. Halo: Reach
#2. Halo: Combat Evolved
#3. Halo 2
#4. Halo 3
The reason I love Reach is the complete feel I get with it. No matter what has been said, I believe that Reach is one of the most balanced and well thought out of any Halo. The weapons fit into the game with what they're supposed to do in the best way I've seen so far. The AA's add something to Halo that I've always wanted in Halo. Something that really shows your skill set.
The only reason I put Halo 3 at the bottom was because I never really got much time with it. (Because I didn't have Xbox LIVE and the friends I played Halo 2 with were busy all the time at that point in my life) The thing is, though, that when I played Halo 3 it didn't really pop out in excitement as much as the other Halos did for me. I love it like I do the rest of the Halos, it's just that the other ones were so good it didn't shine as much to me.
