I'll never understand why people think Halo 2 is the best Halo game. It is a good game, but as far as Halo goes it is the worst (not including Halo Wars). The Campaign is the most linear by far. The graphics were horrible -so were Halo CE's graphics, but Halo CE had good graphics for it's time- Halo 2 didn't. Hald the multiplayer maps were boring compared with the other games, and there was nothing remotely new. Dual-weilding, hijaking, etc. had all been used in other games before. There wasn't even any major plot twist or some epic finish or anything- in fact, there was no finish.
Halo: Combat Evolved is easily the best Halo game so far.
Lolwut?!
Most lineair campaign? Nope. Reach was more linear. Even ODST was more lineair in terms of level design (not counting the nighttime hub)
Graphics horrible? What?! Yes there was pop in, but it was one of the best looking Xbox games out there!
Boring MP maps? You got to be kidding me man. You've definatly lost any credibility there. If there is anything the majority of people agree on, it is that H2 had the best maps in the series. Only truely bad one was Backwash because it lagged the hell out of Live, otherwise only top notch maps with a sense of context to them.
Nothing new? You kidding me? It took everything CE had, put dual wielding, boarding, Live support, Covenant point of view, new Covenant species, loads of new weapons etc to it. Sure, some had been in other games too but H2 did the same to it as CE did to "done before console FPS games": set a standard.
No major plottwist? WHAT THE HELL?! Playing as Arbiter? Covenant breaking up? Flood being controlled by Gravemind? H2 had most plottwist of any of the Halo games.
H2 is definatly not the worst. It's easily on top with CE, and in terms of content, story and definatly multiplayer I would rank it above CE. You can't talk about the worst Halo without mentioning H3 in my opinion, now that was a complete lackluster experience. Good, but not on par with CE and H2.
You are so full of Truth as the guy that said that Reach was a bad halo game.
Halo 2 and ODST (Bash me as much as you want) had the best campaigns for me, as Halo CE is a little bit dated (I dont mean in the graphics, area as I think they old quite well) but as story telling, and the fact that it wasnt a too cinematic game, and ODST and Halo 2 were. I still get chills with the E3 2003 demo (I am gonna watch it again, it has been a few months since the ast time :) ).
Reach is such a forgettable game, that besides Jorge, I didnt care about anyone, too bad he did so soon.
Halo 3 had a really bad story in my opinion, then again we were lured to think we would battle for earth and we ended to be there jut for a couple of levels, and nothing relevant come out of that (probably I was expecting too much on that), and forgetting about how great was playing with arbiter, was a big mistake in my opinion. Second to that I really didnt enjoyed the level design of the game.
About Halo Wars, I played it once, I enjoyed the game, but I havent repeated it. It's also a RTS so I would like to keep it out of my focus.
Important to say, that when I am talking about the games I speak about the campaign, not about the MP, and all those great additions such as Theater and Forge. In level design I still feel that Halo CE was pretty good on that as it managed to combined open areas and narrow corridors quite well, I am gonna be back there in December with Halo Anniversary, and it will be a good excuse to visit on of my favorites game ever!
