Worst is Reach. Best is Combat Evolved. Nuff said.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Worst is Halo 3, best is Halo 2 IMO.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Worst: Halo: Reach

Best: Halo 3/Halo 3: ODST/Halo Wars

In Between: Halo: Combat Evolved/Halo 2

I think Halo Wars is worst, best is CE.

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

I wouldn't say any of them are the "Worst", as they are all great games. I would say "Least Best".

Best Overall: Halo CE

Best Gameplay: Reach

Best Story: Halo 2

Best Campaign: ODST

Best Multiplayer: Reach

Least Best: Either Halo 3 or Halo Wars

Best: H2 in every respect.

Worst: Reach in every respect.

Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of Murphy's Laws on the StarShip Enterprise

For me it's a choice of four; reach, 3, wars and ODST as I didn't get enough time on 2, even though I have it, and I haven't been on CE for ages. I prefer Reach, but 3 in most ways excluding firefight is superior.

Halo 2 is the best. Halo: CE is outstanding only on LAN parties. Because of Live, FFA, the most interesting storyline, and having all amazing multiplayer maps with tons of fun, Halo 2 takes this one.

Halo 3 is the worst. It's absolute garbage, basically a revamped version of Halo 2 that happens to be worse than Halo 2 in every possible way. It simply fails to deliver anything that Halo 2 or Reach doesn't have.

Reach is actually quite good, awful compared to Halo: CE/2, but it's at least better than Halo 3. Pretty underrated and overrated at the same time, unlike Halo 3 which sometimes seems like to be everyone's favorite.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Worst is Halo 3: ODST, it was too short of a game and it had no online matchmaking for firefight.

Best Halo game in the franchise was Halo 2, campaign and online were terrific. One of their best games they made yet, it lived well to Halo Combat Evolved legacy.

Halo ce....best, if you disagree; you really sholdnt be i this forum

ODST....worst, I liked it but it was lacking a lot and should have been a DLC..and NOT $60, that was BullS**t

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.
