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

Halo CE
+ everything, introduced a fantastic story with a beautiful soundtrack and art style.

- nothing

Halo 2
+ storyline, introduced the Covenant as characters instead of random aliens to shoot, best soundtrack in the series, awesome multiplayer

- a third of the game had to be cut, however the result was still phenominal

Halo 3
+ introduced forge, theatre and in-depth custom options which were extremely fun to play with, matchmaking was excellent, Terminals told a great story

- lackluster campaign, poorly done death scenes

ODST
+ amazing cast, amazing story, amazing soundtrack, firefight, grand new spin on gameplay with the exploration factor, audio logs, beautiful skybox and vistas

- some cheesy lines

Wars
+ excellent story, beautiful cutscenes, used Covenant perspective, fun strategic element and multiplayer

- Warthog rushes...

Reach
+ beautiful graphics, weapons feel much meatier, Forge World, Invasion, some new innovations with custom options

- horrific story, sterile characters, boring and linear environments, generally poor and unoriginal multiplayer maps, few good maps to Forge on, armour abilities etc

-Somewhat limited in terms of options

5)Halo Reach
+Great online multiplayer, customizable firefight, more in depth character custimization, nice story, good graphics, very improved forge+forge world

Really? Halo Wars had a great story IMO. The characters were great(Forge, Anderson, Cutter, Arbiter, Regret, Red Team)

No it wasn't. Halo Wars is the classic Halo tale.

- Humans fighting Covenant on planet x.
- Discovery of ancient artefact leading to somewhere the Covenant think are important.
- Slow reveal of a purpose greater than the conflict between humanity and the Covenant.
- Competition to understand technology.
- Flood complicate things resulting in the technology having to be destroyed.
- Victorious, however sacrifices were made and lost in space without a slipspace drive.

Very similar story to Halo CE, so you're pretty much saying that Halo CE had an awful story.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Halo 3 and ODST
Halo Wars
Halo 2 and CE
Halo: Reach

Halo CE
+Amazing story, beautiful levels, awesome multiplayer maps.
-Graphics, not that it is really a problem.

Halo 3
+Very addictive multiplayer, Forge, Theater, some good campaign missions.
-Campaign as a whole was kind if boring.

Halo Reach
+Forge 2.0, good multiplayer (IMO), relatively good campaign.
-Screwed with canon, little character development, Armour Lock.

Halo 3 ODST
+Second best campaign in the series after CE IMO, introduced Firefight.
-Firefight lag, no true multiplayer made it get boring fast

Halo 2
+A few good levels, some of my favourite multiplayer maps.
-Overall bad campaign IMO.

Halo Wars
+Fun multiplayer once you get into it, campaign had its moments.
-Multiplayer can get boring because of how long matches can take.

Halo:CE vs Halo:CEA...

  • 08.28.2011 9:08 AM PDT

Yes, I did make that mess. What are you going to do about it?


Halo 2
+Great Story, Played as the Arbiter, Multiplayer was fun, the Glitches(ex. Super jumping, Quadshotz, and Rocket Lunge)
-Everyone knew how to BXR D:

Halo 3
+Graphics, introduced Forge Mode, and Skull Activation
-Story felt short(or at least to me)

Halo Wars
+Army of Engineers :D
- Generals and their rushing tactics.

Halo Reach
+Bloom(yeah thats right, I like that, it make it more funny when your enemy is AFK and you cant kill him.) Graphics, Invasion + Firefight MP, Armor Customization.
-Elites can only be played in Invasoin MP, Armour Lock, What happened to "Spartans Never Die"? ever one in Noble Team did.

Halo CE
+Started it all, Last mission was great, Uber worlds, the flood would scare you if you didn't have ammo.
-Graphics

Halo ODST
+New people, No Spartans, Great Story, introduced FireFight.
-No BR-55, No MP Firefight or any MP for that matter, Time to kill a single Brute, ok he's dead, wait where's all my ammo?(if you didn't understand, ammo waste ruined the game for me)

Honor Guard elites, unshielded and no weapons FOR A PROPHET.

Two ships holding off the flood.

Two ships in orbit not shooting the -blam!- out of each other while forces are on the ground.

Okay.

1)My guess is those elites were not the Honor Guards. They had most likely picked up their weapons and made an attempt to distract/kill the humans there so that the Arbiter could more effectively sneek in behind. The Elites probably weren't expecting SPARTANs either

2)You will have to clarify the time you are talking about

If you paid any attention at all, they were there in every cutscene with regret on that platform. Those were honor guards, prophets would accept no less.

2: The entire time on the surface of the shield world, and near the end of the campaign, flood is EVERYWHERE.

3: Arcadia
