I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.--Teddy Roosevelt

most epic? Halo 3.
most interesting? ODST

Don't like my username? It solved world hunger. Don't like my gamertag? It can divide by zero. *INCEPTION FACE*

Halo 1 and ODST were probably the best as far as storytelling, but Halo 3 was pretty epic with the Cortona parts. Halo 2 really left a gap. I just feel it did a poor job at contributing to the universe. Halo 2 story felt like a filler rather than a full game.

CE:
-Escape from planetary destruction, discover a device that enables galatic extinction
-Introduction to gamer of unknown but established alien threat and unknown and even more horrible alien threat
-New allies become enemies

2:
-Escape from destruction of galaxy destroyer, discover planetary threat and even greater threat to galaxy
-Introduction to gamer of known but previously vague alien culture and sentience of more horrible alien threat
-Old enemies become allies

3:
-Escape from key to complete galatic extinction, go through portal to complete galatic extinction; partial planetary destruction
-Introduction to gamer of new cooperative human-alien interaction between standard alien threat and greater alien threat
-New allies remain allies, semi-old enemies become very-temporary allies

Reach:
-Escape from suicide mission, engage in suicide missions; planetary destruction
-Re-introduction to gamer of unknown alien concept
-Old enemies remain old enemies


Reach felt like Michael Bay made it.

(To discuss Halo 4.)

Halo 2. This is not epic action sequences and Scarabs falling out of the sky, minions. This is game story.

I, at least in my opinion, think that Halo 2 had the most epic one, although the last few missions in Halo 3 were really good.

I've just bough Halo Anniversary and I've got to admit - I forgot how perfect the game was.

- The unknown object the Pillar of Autumn finds
- The first exploration of the ground, complete with finding your remaining troops.
- Your scouting out of the grounded Covenant cruiser, and raiding party getting inside
- The beach head assualt on the Silent Cartographer
- Assualting the Control room (by far the best level in a Halo game yet)
- The subtle introduction of The Flood, completely changing the game that had come before it...

The list goes on. It was story telling in a video game like we had never seen before, especially not on a console.

It still blows me away today.

To those who much is given; much is lost.

Halo 2 hands down. Halo 1 maybe, but nothing else. Halo 2 is the best.

Halo 2.

Earth being attacked? Check.
Major plottwist due to Arbiter? Check
Opening up the scale of the story? Check
Throwing in the threat of yet 6 other Halos? Check.
Exploring the Covenant? Check.
Exploring the Flood? Check.
Making the Covenant fall apart? Check.
and the list goes on.

In terms of level design it's not the best Halo.
In terms of story and overall campaign: nothing comes close.

Exactly this.

However, I think that H3 had epicness as well (mostly cutscenes).

Oh and this. CE felt like a true epic:

Begins in medias res. - Check!
The setting is vast, covering many nations, the world or the universe. - Check! We went from space to an alien world to a desert area to a beach island to a snowy installation to a swamp.
Features long and formal speeches. - Check! Johnson's speech, Keyes speech, Cortana's ending speech
Shows divine intervention on human affairs. - Check (kinda)! Luck was on Chief's side
Features heroes that embody the values of the civilization. - Check! Two Betrayals opening cutscene

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.

What? Who told you that?

OT: Halo 1 is my favorite.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Combat Evolved had the best plot hands down.

You start out being chased by an enemy that's always been faster on a ship that's under attack which is about to crash land onto an unknown ring-world and your captain gives you the most valuable thing on the ship and says "good luck!"

After you land... and your whole pod-crew dies, you're stranded, no idea where you are, no idea where anyone else is if they lived, and the confusion just escalates until you're blind-sided by a third enemy who's twice as dangerous as the first one. At this point, your entire mindset has changed from "What is going on - where am I?" to "How do I get off this god forsaken reverse donut of hell?"

The action escalates, your captain becomes infected and kamikaze's an enemy ship, and at the end, everybody dies except you, who escaped from doomed donut to lost in space.

Halo 3.

I felt most secluded and connected to the story in ODST, thus the origination of my love for the SI.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

The first Halo trilogy...so far.

Bungie stated only Jun survived from Noble Team.
