Subject: Which Halo game had the worst campaign? Minus Halo Wars

I run Skirmish!!!

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


my vote is for reach for this same reason.. halo wars despite being a rts game had a good campaign

Who the hell voted Halo CE?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • 07.03.2011 9:50 PM PDT

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

It's ironic because the best constructed campaigns are Halo 3: ODST and Halo Wars, but they are the two that will always get looked over. :/

Why make such a negative poll, really? Anyways, here is my opinion on all things campaign:

1st Time Impressions: ODST > WARS > CE > 3 > 2 > Reach
Characters: ODST > WARS > 3 = 2 = CE > REACH
Storyline: ODST > WARS > 3 > CE > 2 > REACH
Music: ODST > 3 > REACH > CE > 2 > WARS
Re-Playability: CE > REACH > ODST > 3 > 2 > WARS
Overall: ODST > CE > 3 > WARS > REACH > 2

*By 1st Time Impressions, I meant after finishing it for the first time.

Gray socks are best socks. White is second, black third. Every other sock color is simply horrible.

Reach and Wars.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Halo 2. It was such a disappointment after ce. It really failed to add anything new besides a really really bad plotline and shifty transitions.

Ad faciendum discrimen

Going with Reach. Just didn't like it :/

  • 07.03.2011 11:30 PM PDT

No. 1 CHINESE ZOMBIE/HUMAN
No. 1 CHINESE TRASHTALKER (Loldon'tmakemerage)
Top 10. CHINESE PLAYERS

And Reach is my first Xbox 360 Game. ROFL.

Reach did not fit Canon. That's all.

Magic is magical, so are shoes... Along with plastic.
Don't forget to flush the toilet, because -blam!- stinks.

I liked shortD42 is aBK's setup up, so here's mine.

This is moronic.

Halo 2 gave us actual characters. The Covenant was more than a conglomeration of aliens, it actually had a culture, religion and Bungie conveyed its instability perfectly. You never kill a single human as Thel, only Heretics and Flood. This shows the Covenant is fragile as humanity is depicted to all be united against a common foe.

We saw the scale of the story. The Gravemind introduced perspective, the figurehead of the Flood and exactly how dangerous they are. They are no longer just space zombies, they have a purpose in the story now.

I could go on here, but the bottom line is that Halo 2 was nothing short of storytelling perfection.

Your opinion is wrong! Halo 2 was just plain dull. He isn't moronic for not likeing something.

1st Time Impressions: CE > 3 > ODST > Reach Demo > 2

Characters: 3 = 2 = CE > ODST > REACH Demo (Jorge was probably the only one who lent credibility to the the storyline. I also liked Noble Six)
Storyline: CE > 3 > 2 > ODST > REACH Demo

Music: CE (I rarely played with music on. I turned it off whenever possible but I do remember listening to Halo 1 music)
Ambiance: CE (leave it to badycyborg.net to introduce me to something I didn't notice before. I did play Halo PC with music off sometimes and the sounds definitely matched the alien feel)

Friendly AI: CE > 3 (because of Arbiter) > ODST > 2 > Reach Demo
Enemy AI: 2 > CE > ODST (improvement from 3) > 3 > Reach Demo (because they're just cheap)
Realistic Heroic Difficulty: CE > 3 > 2 = ODST > Reach Demo

Re-Playability: 3 > CE > 2 > ODST > Reach Demo (no save and quit option made it difficult to embrace the demo. Even Black Ops demo has a save option. I might as well get it...)

Lasting Impression: 3 > 2 (because of playing a few levels with most skulls on. It was engaging and fun) > CE > ODST > Reach Demo

Overall: CE > 3 > 2 = ODST > Reach Demo


Note - I only listed the games I've played

Do not tell me to not tell someone they're wrong, then say I'm wrong. You have given no reason as to why it's "dull", your opinion is invalid until you justify what you say.

I felt like it was dull problem? Your opinion isn't right. No ones opinion is right. It's why it's called an opinion. The story just felt lacking in something.

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.


Halo 1, 2 and 3 had two of those aspects that "ruin Reach." The campaign in all games are linear and there is little to no emotion with characters.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Reach. It was good, but not nearly as good as any other game.
The best, IMO, was Halo 3.

agree!

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.

Those looking for a group to join, I suggest you join Gamma Company Spartans (check my groups page). We are a friendly and active community always looking for more members.

Reach, I thought all other campaigns were excellent or at least better than decent.

  • 07.04.2011 6:03 PM PDT

Worst to best:

Halo Reach
Halo 3:ODST
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo Combat Evolved

Halo 2 and 3 are a tie because as much as I THINK Halo 3 powns I thought the Master Chief and Arbiter split campaign was pretty cool.And this is probably a stupid idea so dont tell me it is but I thought it would be pretty cool if in Halo 4 it would be the same as Halo 2.The chief goes around fighting in the sentinal world while The Arbiter fights off the very little remains of The Covenant and/or he searches for chief.

  • 07.08.2011 2:02 PM PDT

I agree,the story was okay but I would give the game play a 4/10.The multiplayer is what you would expect from a Halo game,10/10.

  • 07.08.2011 2:10 PM PDT

Goodbye Bungie.
