I personally love, the Halo series. Just the Sci-fi atmosphere and the lonelyness of all the games put together makes a tremedous franchise.

What do yuo guys think? Good? Bad?

Here's what I think of the Halo franchise.

Halo: Combat Evolved - Awful

Halo 2 - Great

Halo 3 - Great

Halo 3 ODST - Disappointingly bad

Halo Wars - Awful

Haven't played Halo: Reach yet.

It's good fun in multiplayer. Far from the best game ever, but definitely not bad.

Decent. Combat Evolved was spectacular, but it feels like the impacting appeal decreased after every release.

Didn't really like how it recycled a lot of areas amongst other things. I kinda find it weird on how I like Halo 3 the most (out of all I played) while most think it's the worst game in the series.

I agree. It might be pure nostalgia that keeps me in love with that game

My main problem with it is that its not that fun. Its fun but no where near as fun as many other games. Its an decent game but nothing special imo.

You can't say it's bad. You can say you don't like it but in no way are these bad games.

The entire series has been solid (not counting Halo was since I never played it and Bungie didn't do it) so yeah, I think it's it's good.

Good.. I thought the single player, the characters, and story overall to be pretty unoriginal and average.. But this is overturned by the excellent local and online multiplayer gameplay of both campaign and competitive matches.. That can be quite addictive.. The fact that more shooters have not used the same system of Halo in which 4 seperate Xbox Live accounts can be plugged and played online all at the same time on 4 player split screen.. Hell HALO 1 did this (granted it wsa through gamespy or lan and not XBL), yet I have yet to see really any other shooter be able to do this.. This is one of the biggest things that pissed me off with Borderlands.. 2 player splitscreen but can't do that online or even a local network game? Yet Halo 1 was able to do this flawlessly with the original Xbox..

Decent overall. Reach and CE were good, ODST was decent and 2 and 3 were bad.

The repeating textures didn't bother me because for most of the levels, the actual layouts were great. Also, must Halo fanboys (like me) consider 2 the worst in the main series, by campaign anyway.

My Halo List for campaigns:

Halo CE

Reach

3/ODST

2

It's good... Halo:CE was one of the best games of all time. After that, it's good/decent.

If you honestly think its bad then you are just being a fanboy. Maybe its not your cup of tea but that doesn't qualify it as bad. I didn't like Borderlands but that doesn't mean it was a bad game.

Not a single Bungie made Halo game (see what I did there?) has scored below AAA here.

It's foolish to think that the Halo series is immune to criticism but to say that it's a "bad" series just seems wrong to me in light of its impressive track record.

Decent games, but nothing ground breaking or even best in class.

The good and bad of the Halo series is the same thing. The xbox was built on it, but as such it seems as if MS has a "all eggs in one basket" kind of situation, so now what happens if/when the Halo fanbase isn't satisfied with the new dev.

Yes indeed. Halo 1 was a awesome experience for me! I guess it depends on when Vesica started playing it, because If I didn't play the first Halo until recently, then I probably wouldn't be blown away like I was at first, when it was released. Still, Halo is a very good series, and I think the first one is the one that put it on the map for sure. I also liked Halo Wars, then again I like RTS games, and the cinematics were some of the best in gaming. ODST was a bit of a letdown imo.
