Which do you think?
UPDATE:The reason I didn't include Halo Wars was that this is BUNGIE.net not ENSEMBLE.net I do think Halo Wars was very good but wasn't as good as the ones made by Bungie

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo Wars is redacted because it is, in fact, one of the best.

Reach was abysmal in every aspects.
- Sterile, one-dimensional and archetypal characters.
- Canon destroying story that didn't even have a plot until the end of The Package.
- Horrid level design, overly linear environments and scripted events.
- Characters like Halsey, Cortana and Keyes were shoehorned in for convenience, they should have played no part in the story at all.

I could go on, Reach would have actually benefitted from a lack of a campaign.

As the wave of emotion of the Flood attack washed over me something inside turned cold and although I had been effectively killing Covenant for a long time, a new steel was forged within me... I knew that to get out alive I had to kill every last one of these S.O.B's. I did it, stole the index from the library and blew up the ring world known as Halo, but I knew this wasn't the end... It was only just beginning.

I don't think I could vote... I love them all. Equally...

I like Halo reach and i dislike Halo 3. Problem?

for me its a tie between Halo wars and ODST but since theres no Halo wars in the votes i pick ODST

  • 07.01.2011 6:58 PM PDT

definitly reach. Reach campagin was good but it is nothing compared to the Halo 1, 2, 3 and ODST campaign

Whilst you're allowed your opinion, you're wrong.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Halo Wars is one of the greatest campaigns ever. It has real storyline throughout the entire campaign, and added a set of memorable characters to the Halo series.



Halo: Reach had the worst campaign by far. I started off seeing a bunch of strangers, thent old they are my new best friennds. I must fight through random covenant infantry then have to kill 2 zealots.


Half of Nightfall didnt need to be included, and New alexandria could have been avoided completlely

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

No. Halo 2 is by far the most linear Halo game in the series, with horrid level design. It was pretty fun though.

The first half of the Reach missions suck. The second half (starting from LNoS) were classic Halo experiences.

Halo Reach has worst camapign in my opinion, Its just all the armour abilities, and lack of Halo feel to it.

You are now reading my signature, the following proceeds as the amazing group i am in and the best person in Bungie.net who i am not stalking at al... >.>

The Reach Asset

Xhavalor is amazing <3

I liked the idea's behind Halo 2's campaign but it just didn't cut it for me.

Reach was ok, i did break canon a bit but i can live with it. I did enjoy it towards the end.

Halo 3 was amazing.

Halo 1, well, it's Halo: CE of cause it's awseome.

ODST i actually thought was amazing. It was a long needed break from Master Chief and i really enjoyed it. Also ODST music = Amazing.

I think Halo Reach worst

  • 07.02.2011 8:39 AM PDT

I kill with BRn Snipe.

Agreed. The Reach campaign just wasnt up to par with the other campaigns. I think Halo 3 had the best campaign.

Halo: Reach.

To summarize, I didn't feel like a god. I felt like a wimp. Or to more specific, a prophet sitting on an op gravity throne. I had to resort to cheap methods (i.e. camping with plasma pistol, long distance plasma pistol). LNoS had promise though. It felt like Halo at times. I would charge in and sometimes assassinate the entire group of Covies.

Halo 1's weapons were all effective on Legendary whereas in Halo: Reach, you need to have the DMR and any one of these on your person:

-plasma rifle (I love all plasma rifles :3)
-plasma pistol
-sniper rifle
-rocket launcher
-other power weapons

In Halo 3, most weapons were effective on Legendary. It's when you step it up a notch and turn on Mythic and/or Tilt that it suffers the common problem.

Halo 3's legendary was like Halo 1's while Halo: Reach's legendary was more like Halo 2's (except 2x more frustrating) and/or Halo 3's Mythic, except incomplete (some skulls on i.e. Mythic).

Extensive reasons will come later.

Here's a sample:

Halo 3 had smarter Brutes.

In Halo: Reach I can easily sneak up on and assassinate enemies since as far as I know, they don't notice *recently* dead bodies, even if it comes in contact with one.

But in Halo 3, if I sneak up on some Brutes and the dead body comes in contact or in front of one, he (and other nearby Brutes) will immediately turn around.

Siggy sig sig right here in this box

Reach. All the rest were great and super fun. Reach sucked ass.

Add another for Reach. It's the only campaign I don't want to play more than once.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

tough decision between 3 and reach but i put 3. the campaign is disapointing when compared to how good C.E's campaign and 2's campaign was back in their glory days.

reach had an average campaign IMO, nothing great about it (never expected it to be good anyway) at least 3 had a good multiplayer

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I enjoyed the reach campaign, but I do have to say it is the weakest. Why can't we make threads about the best, not the worst.

  • 07.02.2011 5:48 PM PDT

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Didn't really care for the Reach campaign. The Covenant was introduced in a dull manner, I couldn't get attached to any characters, the AI are dumb as dumb can get (remembers the Marines playing hot potato with grenades), and there was no epic vehicular warfare.

Halo Wars. LOL

ODST easily. The hub world was beyond repetitive.
