Favorite Halo game

My vote goes to 3.

(Don't scream at me for putting inWars just 'cause It's not real Halo, some people DO like that game)

Now, vote my children!

My vote goes to Reach

and instead of having Wars there, may I suggest ODST? At least ODST was developed by Bungie

1. Halo CE
2. Halo: Reach
3. Halo 2
4. Halo 3
5. ODST

Never played Wars, but it looks awful. I wish Ensemble could have made Age of Mythology 2 its last game instead.

The first one. It was a launch day title for Xbox.

MP: Halo 2 > 3 > Reach > CE

SP: CE > 3 > Reach > 2

Too hard to say overall...

Nothing like the original.

Combat Evolved. Every vote the other four games get saddens me.

CE was my favorite, but out of the online games, I got the most out of Halo 3. I love the maps of Halo 2, but 3 was just flat out better in terms of MP.

CE > Reach > 3 > ODST > 2

My list goes like this.

1. Halo CE

2. Halo Reach

3. Halo 3: ODST

4. Halo 2

5. Halo 3

CE was just way too good.

CE is my favorite, followed closely by 3.

Although I agree with many, that Halo CE had the best campaign, Reach exclled with the best multiplayer off all the games, and a close second to CE when it comes to campaign. Boasting the most feature rich game set with its community creating & sharing tools, game customization, spartan customization, 4 player co-op, MP variety (slayer, objective matches, firefight, invasion, etc...), comprehensive file share system... when all factored in, even if CE had the better SP, as a whole package Reach wins hands down.

ImSwordMan

I preferred Wars. It was actually a full game.

Anyway, Combat Evolved was my favorite. A time before retcon and plot holes. A time when it only took three pistol shots to kill foes. The others are great but it's kinda hard to beat your first time.

halo 1.........more specifically halo PC.

Halo 3, I find it weird how I found Halo 3 to be the best while it is virtually universally hated and while I hate Combat Evolved with a passion to which fans flock to.

I think "universally hated" should be limited to System Wars and the insanity that spawns here. The game was still loved by critics and a huge financial success with a large fanbase. In fact, it's popularity might be the reason its hated so much here.

Not saying no one here has rational reasons for disliking it, of course.

CE >>> 3 = Reach >>>> 2 > Wars >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ODST

Halo 3.

Halo:CE, everything after can disappear.

1. Halo 3
2. Halo: CE
3. Halo 2
4. ODST
5. Halo Reach

All of them are bloody good games, I wasn't blown away by Reach, but it was still Halo quality & with exception to Halo 3 & ODST, my favourite FPS this gen.

I liked Reach the best. Not only was it the most complete package, but for some reason Noble Team resonated with me.

Ive said it many times that halo 2 is my favorite entry in the series. Its campaign is still one of my favorite campaigns ever. unfortunately, the campaigns have gone from "outstanding" in halo 2, to "decent" in halo 3, to "rancid garbage" in halo ODST, to "mediocre garbage" in reach.

Its clear that after halo 2 and its massively successful multiplayer, bungie gradually decided to stop giving a **** about the campaign.

Evolved

Halo 2

CE and 3 tied for 2nd.

The 2nd game kept me occupied for quite a while. I'm a fan of 8v8 in Halo and H2 had some of the best BTB maps i.e. Headlong, Containment, Coagulation, Relic, Terminal etc. Though the campaign is not as good as the first it had enough entertaining glitches and easter eggs to keep me occupied while I had no friends online.

I only really played the campaign in the first game, only got to play MP on some occasions but the lack of good maps always had me wanting to just mess around in co-op instead.

H3 was really only good for MP, but it sure was fun while it lasted. I love the Spartan Laser in that game.

Reach is terrible. I don't even want to get into it.

Halo: CE. Game was damn near perfect.

They're all good games, though.

Combat Evolved is still my favorite. Had the best single player, and even though we couldn't play online the multiplayer was awesome. Nothing like some Halo LAN parties back in the day.

Halo 2. The story was getting interesting, they put in lots of gameplay enhancements, and the graphics were a lot better.

It's all downhill after that. 3 was seemingly leading up to a climatic showdown with the gravemind that never materialized.

Odst was mediocre as a full game, and reach could have been played with the sound muted for all the energy that the story had(it was especially funny how only one of the spartans went out with a bang, the others just seemed like bungie said to themselves "well its been about an hour since a spartan died, lets randomly have one get shot in the face or something for no reason").

ths is system wars material, how?Richymisiak

For me, CE. Though i mst say I found the entire series quite meh.

Halo 2, played online all most every day until 3 came out. I even played halo 2 even when i got my 360 near launch.

Overall: Halo: Reach

Single player: ODST (which you didn't even include in the poll :()

Multi player: Reach

They're all great, but Combat Evolved is the best one. After that, it's Reach, 3, 2, then ODST.

Actually, I can't decide between 3 and Reach. Reach had a better campaign and way more content, but it had such terrible multiplayer maps...

Halo 2 multiplayer was one of the best ever.
