I started with Halo 2, but prefer Halo 3 for competitive multiplayer. Halo 2 had terrible maps.

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.

Halo CE - Best campaign
Halo 2 - nope
Halo 3 - Best all-round features (customs, Forge & Theatre etc)
ODST - Best story, Firefight and music
Wars - Best cutscenes
Reach - sometimes


Halo Reach is better than Halo 2. I don't like either game though.

IMO CE, 3, and Wars are the only good halo games.

How can anyone possibly say any game is better than Halo 1?

Halo Reach is better than Halo 2.


I disagree.

But then again, I pretty much only play multiplayer and very little campaign/forge/firefight. I appreciate that two of those are better in Reach than in 2 because they weren't in 2. However I will argue that Halo 2's campaign was better, as well as its multiplayer.

Again, I don't like either game, but I find Reach at least tried new things. I found both games ok in bursts and ruined things that the previous installment did well. The skill of both games mirror each other. That is there is none with the huge hitboxes and bullet magnetism/autoaim.

Reach's gametypes were better. That's one reason it get's the edge.

Halo 2 ruined the direction of the series for me so it will always be the worst. Here's a similar opinion: Famous musician John Mayer discussing how Halo 2 ruined what Halo 1 had going for it

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

HCEA - Best graphics
Halo 2 - Best multiplayer
Halo 3 - Best all-round features
ODST - Best story, characters, Firefight, and music
Wars - Best cutscenes
Reach - Best at being the worst Halo

I liked Halo 3's soundtrack and multiplayer the best and I didn't really like any of the campaigns.

Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time, period. That's multiplayer, single player, co-op campaign, everything. I -blam!- love halo 3 and I include ODST coz it has Halo 3 in the title =)

Halo 2 is the retarded version of Halo 3. The best characters were the ODST squad. Same with music. The best multiplayer and maps were Halo 3. This is just so much stupid I can't even begin. Halo Reach's Forge is far superior to Halo 3's. It's the only thing I give it, but you're still an idiot for saying Halo 3's forge is better.

This x1000. The only people who prefer Halo 2 in anything are those who started with Halo 2. I started with Halo 1 and I think halo 2 had the worst campaign and multiplayer.

i diasgree with you on every point.

Halo 2 SET the direction of the series, not ruined it. Halo 2 introduced the covenant side to us fans. Let us play as them, learn about the prophets, introduce the civil war that was starting. Without those aspects, halo 3's campaign wouldn't be around. Where would the arbiter be then in halo 3?

Halo reach had NO character development at all. We never learned in the campaign who these spartans were, just hopped right into it starting with the first level.

In halo 2, we learned who the arbiter was in all the cut scenes, learned about the covenant, the brutes and the heretic's as the campaign went on. Halo 2 had a solid campaign.

Halo 2 multi player was considered some of the best and most competitive, even more so then halo 3 by a lot of players. It's what made MLG so popular and raised the bar for competitive gaming

Halo 2 SET the direction of the series, not ruined it.
It brought improvements but it also brought a curse:

-redundant sandbox
-lack of enemy responses
-Brutes
-weaker player
-super lethal vehicles (in mp, it's good that a vehicle should dominate but in campaign, it's impossible to fight vehicles on foot. H3 gave us more options with EMP but it's still lethal)
-headshottable Flood
-excessive lunge
-slow crate climbing for Elites
-difficult to manage marines (especially when they're driving). And of course, when they got rockets, they can't melee and don't have enough sense to get far away from enemies

Nonetheless, I don't hate H2.

That's funny, I started with H1, played H3 a year later, and met H2 several years later and now it's my 2nd favorite Halo game (1st being H1).

Utter rubbish. From a campaign perspective, Halo 2 was infinitely better than Halo 3.

The best characters were the ODST squad.

I disagree. While ODST is my absolute favourite Halo game and the characters were very well done, they don't quite match up to Cortana, 343 Guilty Spark, Gravemind and Thel. Plus, the ODST squad (while more relatable characters) just had too much cheesy dialogue.

Same with music.

I did tie ODST and Halo 2 for having the best soundtrack. ODST because of the sublime atmospheric quality and original direction Marty went, Halo 2 for its variety of human, Forerunner, Covenant and Flood themed tracks.

The best multiplayer and maps were Halo 3.

Best multiplayer I'll agree with you, but personally I preferred more of Halo 2's maps over Halo 3's.

Halo Reach's Forge is far superior to Halo 3's. It's the only thing I give it, but you're still an idiot for saying Halo 3's forge is better.

For the sheer amount of options you have, yes, Reach's Forge is better. But there's only A SINGLE MAP where you can do anything worthwhile in Reach with Forge, in Halo 3 there were highly original creations on pretty much every map and the palettes actually had a massive variety of object themes (for instance, all the sandy architecture) but in Reach every map just ends up looking dull and grey.

It is on that basis that I judge Halo 3's Forge to be superior for what it offers, not what it could do.

Agree completely. Halo 2 had a terrible plotline and characters were all over the place. The graphics and story was completely cheesy. The gravemind in Halo 2 was by far the cheesiest antagonist in any halo game, while halo 3 fixed it.

halo 3s forge is more limited than reachs, and at the same time, so much better.

Anyone who thinks the forge in reach is better, is kidding themselves.

Yeah. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I prefer Halo 3 forge.

Forging in Halo 3 is like playing the Mass Effect trilogy before you know the ending; looking forward to see your hard work in play.

Forging in Reach is like playing the Mass Effect trilogy after you know how terrible it ends; it doesn't pay off (forged Reach maps can be as cool as they want, but they'll still be grey and you'll still be playing Reach on them).

geomerging, blackout sigs, maps with real color, maps that can be made on multiple levels of one map, etc....

There were so many things you could do in H3 that you just cant in reach. Sigs are okay at best in reach, and they will never reach the level of awesome as the blackout sigs in H3 were. Geomerging is now something you can do without glitching, which is fine, but man it was awesome learning how to do that, then mastering it. There is just no variety on the reach maps, which is something H3 really excelled at.
