ODST - best characterisation by far...and a nice break from the chief.
i think first person view makes a difference to how we engage with the writing. puzzled why you only included the first halo.

Halo 2 should be on there. It had great moments and really fleshed out the Covenant well in-game.

Halo 2 - Halo 3 because they concluded the best game on the new consoles.

Much to my misfortune I haven't played or found any of Bungie's old games from before Halo...so I only have Halo to work off of. The best Halo game I would say is Halo 2, followed closely by both Reach and ODST (at least in terms of characters for ODST, story itself didn't wow me all that much, but the characters were the best by far).

Halo 2!

I voted Durandal. I obviously didn't get it when it came out, and only have played 2 years ago when I finally decided to make an account on b.net. But I have a feeling that it was really clever and amazing how bungie engineered the story there. My second would to be CE, then Infinity.

I think the Marathon series had some excellent writing. The idea of the story is quite ambitious especially since there is was some technological limitation during its development.

I also enjoyed ODST. The story was a bit meh, but the way it was delivered was excellent. I think if Bungie actually put time to make ODST a full fledged title, it would've turned out much amazing

I like the story for the Marathon games best. It's sci-fi at its heart.

I loves my Halo, but I've been reading up on Marathon lore and gotta say it's pretty good. I hear good things from the Myth series as well.

The Marathon games have a great story to them, even if I don't understand much of it.
