Armor Lock vs. Top Speed, Approaching Ghost = Super Awesome!
In my personal opinion, the best Halo of them all, was Halo 2, Ironically i never got to play it online until the last 2 weeks it was on. But the reason I find it to be the best of all Halos, was because of its release, let's put it this way:
-Bungie releases Halo: Combat Evolved, everyone is crazy about it, because it's the first of its kind.
-Bungie releases Halo 2, for Xbox, with Online Multiplayer. The whole new concept of a console having Online multiplayer at that time, was inconceivable, because at that time, there was no such thing.
So, the jumps in game concepts were just enormous, first, there was no alike game at all, Halo is created, with Multiplayer for a computer, which was a classic thing, but Halo 2 was the first game for a console to have a massive multiplayer like it did, later on, Halo 3, was great, magnificent, but was the same concept. So, since Halo 2, the concept of the game didn't change at all, that's why people liked Halo and Halo 2 so much, the where brand new things to experience.
That's my opinion, discuss it, for the good ol' times...
