Every game ever made could have been better.

And the Campaign wasn't THAT bad. At least, not compared to Halo 2's.

Halo 2's campaign was A LOT better. Only the cliffhanger ending made it "bad." Reach had more potential anyway, and it didn't turn out.


Good god, no. The levels themselves seemed to drag on forever. When the story makes me want to fall asleep, it isn't well-made.

I didn't even mind the ending of Halo 2.

I must be the only one.

It wasn't bad necessarily, it's just that it teased a bit much at the end. If they had ended it a bit more properly, it would have been fine, even if you didn't get to "finish the fight."

It wasn't really Bungie's fault with it though.

It wasn't great. The campaign was great because it had good gameplay. If Reach didn't come out, I would say that Halo 2 was the Episode 1 of the Halo series as far as story goes.

Nope. At least not me.

Saying it was waaaaaaay more fun than the crap Reach Campaign.

Sure there were some frustrating or slow parts. Every previous game had them, but Reach is just completely forgettable in the way its encounters play out. They just happen. They aren't boring, but they aren't amazing either.

I think Reach's biggest campaign failure (besides the characters lack of real character) was made during advertisments and ViDocs. They made the game look like you were going to be in battles on the scale of starwars, but ended up giving you missions like tip of the spear, where you end up on the sidelines of all the action.

Halo Reach had good gameplay but its campaign and firefight were just an awful mess!

Halo 2's MatchMaking had good gameplay, not even I can deny that.

However, Halo 2's Campaign gameplay was godawful.

Lone Wolf is probably one of the greatest missions in an FPS ever, if you include the epilogue scene. Easily one of the best moments in gaming to be sure, when you reflect on the Halo series as a whole

It's basically a firefight mission with a good, emotional vibe to it. Nothing special, really. It is my favorite part of the campaign, though.

Considering Franky was "surprised at the overwhelming disappointment in the lack of Master Chief" I'd say you're a minority in this regard. :/

You must not have noticed, but every post I have made in this thread is about how not fun reach is and how much more fun the old Halos were.

They made it damn clear that this was gonna be your last stand, and they pulled off the atmosphere amazingly well. The finishing cutscene is only slightly marred by Halsey's actress' over-the-top acting, and even then it's not that bad.

Lone Wolf was better than any of Halo 2's regurgitated excuses of levels, at any rate.

A majority of people also think a skydaddy made them and that the Northern hemisphere is "up".

Masterchief is awful; hope he does something nice with his character in Halo 4 and dies in Halo 6
