The Wonderful LeSieg!

I actually give you kudos to trying, but I think this will just devolve into nonsense like every other thread about comparing the Halos.

Disclaimer: I love Halo 3 more than I love my dog.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I'd be interested in hearing your reasoning behind making Halo 3's campaign at any point better than 2.

  • 12.22.2012 9:56 AM PDT

Reach deserves 0, 4 deserves 1, CE deserves 26, 2 deserves 26, 3 deserves 26

That's my opinion.

  • 12.22.2012 9:56 AM PDT

Okay.

  • 12.22.2012 9:56 AM PDT

2 > CE > 3 > reach > 4

Actually this is a very important discussion to have.

Many years later I still have no idea what the hell 3 was about for most of the game. Halo 3's campaign is amazing to play, especially level, "The Covenant".

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

Custom games
Reach > 3 > 2 > CE ;4 can not be judged, broken file browser


In my opinion, each Halo's custom games are like this... (in no particular order of greatness)

Halo CE
Had fun playing versus with bros on Sidewinder with rockets. That was about it though. Not much customization here.

Halo 2
Gave birth to the Halo custom game craze in my opinion. Fond memories include early zombies gametypes and cops and robbers.

Halo 3
Great for small, to-the-point custom games such as fat kid. Cops and robbers and assault were the best in Halo 3 versus Reach and Halo 4.

Halo: Reach
The best for big, epic custom games. Forge World gave us so many opportunities for big battles, many of which still haven't been realized. Drive or die and infections were the best in Reach.

Halo 4
Too early to tell, but I can say that at this point, Halo 4 doesn't look to the best in anything as far as custom games goes. There are too many restrictions on what you can do in this game. I think this is because 343 wants us to play THEIR games, and not modify it beyond recognition.

How can anybody say REACH'S Forge and Custom Games was better than Halo 3's with a straight face?!

Reach had ONE crappy, giant map that had the most boring, unhuman, grey, dull objects ever. I'm not even going to elaborate on this. It's quite obvious Halo 3's varied maps and objects made the overall experience better WHERE OR NOT the tools in Reach were better.

I, and A LOT of other people, played Halo 3 for years because the Custom Games was so good, varied and fun. You can't honestly say that with Reach with the terrible Forge maps, wait I mean Forge map, and Reach's single dull, boring, repetitive pallet.

Using the OP's system, here're my results:
Halo 4 - 8.
Halo 3 - 25.
Halo 2 - 10
Halo CE - 7.
Halo Reach - 16.
ODST - 9.

That's strange because I preferred Halo CE over Halo 4. This system is flawed.

This was pretty much my reasoning also. I wanted to give each game its props where appropriate and see where they all stacked up though.

Nice spam.

I felt my post would get overlooked, and I wanted it untainted from the emotions and rage.

Subject: Where each Halo stands. My opinion. Try the system your way too.

My turn!

Campaign
2 > 4 > 3 > Reach > CE

Competitive Multiplayer
3 > 2 > 4 > Reach > CE

Firefight
3 (ODST engine) > Reach

Custom games
Reach > 4 > 3 > 2 > CE

Forge
Reach > 4 > 3

The final standings are:
CE: 4.5
2: 17.5
3: 20.5
Reach: 16
4: 18

So, in my opinion,

Halo 3 > Halo 4 > Halo 2 > Reach > CE

Probably didn't do it right, but this is somewhat accurate. Still, as always, debating which Halo is REALLY my favourite.


I like your system, OP.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.
Hidden in the shadows, Clothed in camo, Armed to the teeth. Hunting.

I'm still wondering why so many people want to give their opinions of the Halo franchise in different threads. Your opinions are not so important that you can't just put them in the same thread.

MY opinion:

campaign:
Halo 2>CE>Halo 3>ODST>Halo 4>Reach

MP:
Halo 3>Halo 4>Halo 2 (it has better maps) > Halo CE >Reach

None campaign Co-op (Firefight/Spartan Ops)
ODST>Reach>Halo 4

custom games:
Halo3>Halo 2>Reach>CE>Halo 4

Forge
Halo 4>Halo Reach>Halo 3

Combat Evolved: 7.5+4+2=13.5
Halo 2:9+6+4=19
Halo 3:6+10+5+1=22
ODST:4.5+3=7.5
Halo Reach:1.5+2+2+3+2=10.5
Halo 4:3+8+1+1+3=17
