Tough one.
Halo 3 loses: it does the same thing as Halo CE, and while that could have been cool; driving around grey plain metal sheets is not exactly that much fun.
ODST's was very actionpacked, and I loved how you really had the sense of a Covie invasion starting BIG TIME at that point with all the Cruisers dropping in, and countless Banshees littering the skies! I wish Reach had more of that during New Alexandria etc. But in the end not memorable enough.
Defeating Tartarus, and being confronted with some lines that would have this community going crazy with theories for 3 years straight was awesome! The Cliffhanger (with capital T and C, because this is THE cliffhanger of all cliffhangers known to mankind) made sense: we all knew H3 was coming but its placement was weird...too early. The final level itself was very actionpacked and great, but not my favorite.
Halo CE: THE Warthog Run.....amazing. So much fun. So much drama (Foehammer going down), so much adrenaline pumping (the big jump, the last part running with all those Flood behind you....it was amazing. It was the crazy big ruby on top of the crown that The Maw already was...on top of the new King of shooters that Halo was. In one word: AMAZING!
But there can only be one winner, and that is Reach.
It was actionpacked, filled with great cameos, tied Reach so well together with Halo CE (looking at how the games were connected; Reach did great...not so much with the books tho). The music...the whole tragedy going on. That big fight going on in the background. Trying to fight off 4 Zealots. You alone, as the last of Noble Team. Then finally succeeding and ensuring Chief would save mankind eventually (which was a GREAT way to connect the games!).
But the creme de la creme was off course Lone Wolf coming after it....it was so intensely tragic. So well done. You wanting to stay alive, knowing you will die...litterally fighting for your life this time. Showing Spartans are vulnerable too...
This was the best ending in the series if you ask me. It didn't hold back, it offered everything a good ending needs. It was better than I could have ever imagined.
