I loved Halo 1 in both singleplayer and co-op. But apart from perfecting FPS on a controller and some brilliant switching between FPS/vehicle sections I think the media forgot some of it's glaring issues. The repeating levels being the worst offender.
Halo 2 felt like a major letdown when it came to SP and co-op.
And I kind of stopped there. Halo 2 let me down and other, better FPS came around. I have every single Halo game, with most of them waiting to be played.
Halo CE.....I still have memories of playing that on the OG Xbox and is what made me an Xbox fan till this day.
Halo 3 by quite a bit. Everything great about Halo came together perfect in Halo 3 but the series just went downhill from there imo. H3 had an amazing campaign and the best MP of the series.
I have played 1, 2, 3, and only a little bit of Reach. Out of those, I like the first one the best. I love the campaign, the weapons feel powerful, and multiplayer is a blast. I didn't like Halo 2 outside of the multiplayer, Halo 3 was just alright, and I didn't play enough of Reach to judge whether I liked it better than the others.
CE. None of the other ones have come close to providing the same amount of fun I had with both versions of the first game.
Combat Evolved. I've only played 1-3 and enjoyed them all, but CE is on its own level as one of the best games I've ever played.
If I had to go off nostaglia and memory it would be
2, 3, 1, 4, odst, reach
But after playing through them again on halo MCC, I can safely say they all got progressively better. so it goes 4, 3, 2, 1, odst, reach (didn't replay reach since it's not in the MCC)
For MP, i'd have to say 3, 4, 2, 1 I counted 1 lower becuase it was only LAN and not on XBL, but with MCC i could play all on XBL and i like 3 the best. So far with the halo 5 beta though, I feel it's gonna be the best MP in the series. Halo > every other game.
First one
That game was truly innovative and fun as shit.
Halo 2 & 3 were just carbon copies with dual wielding.
Haven't even cared to play any of the games since the 3rd one.

Interesting perspective. I'd like to hear more like this i.e. are you naming your fave Halo game from memory/nostalgia or from playing them all when they came out and again in MCC?
I will admit I only have MCC to go on. What a great collection that is, one of the best games compilations ever.

Yeah I think a lot of people that hated on 4 was more from not being bungie and nostalgia from 3 which came out like 5 years before 4 did which is a long time. Playing through them all again in order back to back really gives a good perspective. The only thing wrong with Halo 4 MP was BTB and slayer because of the load outs and ordinance. Glad they got rid of that for halo 5. Halo has always been about skill on a fair playing ground and halo 4 moved away from that a little. halo 5 is bringing it back. For halo 4, the extra movement made it better then 3 in some modes like grifball and swat. and the flood mode was great as well
I have a soft spot for ODST.
Halo CE was probably the best for its time. My friends and I pretty much played this nonstop until Halo 2 arrived.
Played all of them back to back just a two or three months back (all except Reach), they're all pretty great still. Hope we get a Reach DLC to finish off the Halo MCC collection. Maybe 343 will get on that after the release of Halo 5.

I can't comment on the MP I only played Halo MCC SP and I thought it was amazing. I am quite proud as well to say that having played them all I still largely have no clue at all what was going on in any of them lol. I have a general picture which seems to be as much as you get unless you read the books and follow online lore sites etc which I'm not quite motivated to do.
