I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

I still think H3 is the best halo game.

I run Skirmish!!!

halo 2 was a lot of fun and harder to rank up in... But halo 3 has been where it's at for me

And I loved CE campaign. ODST isn't great, but not bad either. Reach doesn't deserve to be called halo

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

Halo CE - Best campaign
Halo 2 - Best characters, music, multiplayer and maps
Halo 3 - Best all-round features (customs, Forge & Theatre etc)
ODST - Best story, Firefight and music
Wars - Best cutscenes
Reach - Best at being the worst Halo

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I also think that Halo 3 is the best Halo game, but I like Halo 2 almost as much.

This summed up my view quite well.

H3 had the best customs and Theater was a godsend. Although I also liked the characters (Johnson, Arbiter, 343 Guilty Spark) and music (still felt like Halo). Grunt Birthday might not have affected everyone like in H2 but I love how it still does damage and detonates grenades without sending them flying everywhere. This is great! The Reach and Anniversary Grunt Birthday are just graphics. Speaking of which, H3 laid the basis for classic skulls (I think the ones in H2 are better). Anniversary screwed that for the sake of "preservation" and threw in lame skulls.

Reach had the worst everything (file browser was a nice idea but it's such a pain to navigate), but it's campaign was especially abomination. The only likable character is Jorge and the music sounds terrible. Every time I hear Reach praise, usually in terms of replayability and AI, it drives me nuts. This is especially why I dislike Reach. It ruined the Spec Ops and Zealot ranks. I much prefer the grenade spamming, betraying Spec Ops in H3 and H2 than the ones not throwing any grenades at all.

I agree, OP. I agree.

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 :(

I like Chillout and Avalanche, but CE is still the best multiplayer. Sniper took skill back then.

Halo CE, Halo2, and Halo 3 were the good days for the franchise. Halo wars did have some pretty kick ass cut scenes, I have to agree there. Despite what most people say I enjoyed ODST because i liked the campaign, and Fire Fight was a legitimate challenge. Sadly most of my friends and people who I know who use to play halo now just laugh or shake their heads because of how Reach turned out.

I wish things would go back to the way they use to, when Halo was the most popular first person shooter on xbl, and not this CoD crap. Hopefully whatever Bungie is working on will blow that recycled franchise out of the water.

  • 06.03.2012 10:31 PM PDT

I ♥ Bungie!

It's my favorite game, I think it is the toughest game ever, not even Halo 4 will be able to take it down.

Remember that argument I had with a random on one of your H3 videos?

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I think

Halo CE-Best at giving Halo a good name in 2001
Halo 2- Best campaign, best story, best covenant
Halo 3-Best Flood missions
ODST-Best enviroment, best at being realistic
Reach-Best firefight

You mean the one about H3 AI having semi-Armory skull effect? I resented conceding but there's just no way the debate could have ended.

Btw, if you're interested, be on the lookout for my YT analysis on the H4 E3 campaign demo. I'll be including my thoughts in annotations and description. It's going to be comprehensive!

Here's a preview:

-do I feel threatened for the right reasons (intimidation by tactics)?
-how often are checkpoints given? Can checkpoints be delayed infinitely as in CE or are they permanently lost?*
-is the music endlessly looping? If so, is it possible to put an end to it like in previous campaigns?*
-is exiting the map impeded?*
-does the game leave AI intact if bypassing them? Does bypassing them affect their behavior/positioning?*
-does the game utilize assets like Co-op teleporting to keep players in the map/objective?*

The * means that it probably won't appear in the demo. Nonetheless, I ask the questions anyway, just in case. I do not want another Halo 3 (as in campaign) or Reach. H2, CE, or something better are what I'm expecting.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

I thought Halo 3 was the best all-around game, but H2 had the best competitive play. I barely played H2's multiplayer, though, much to my regret. Halo 3 had such improved physics, graphics, and customization, as well as theater and Forge, it was almost overwhelming how much content was available.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

Reach - Best at being the worst Halo


I laughed.

My favourite was obviously halo 3, that's why I'm on this forum.

I enjoyed halo 2 immensely, but only LANning with friends, I didn't have broadband before 2007. The most competitive that those games got was fixed KOTH on midship with rockets as default weapon and infinite grenades.

Halo CE = reason I got my xbox
Halo 3 = reason I got my xbox 360 (and the 2 subsequent replacements)
