What's your order? Here's mine.

#5. Halo 3: ODST (very minor spoilers)

While I enjoyed this game very much, it just wasn't at the same level as the other games in the series IMO. It has great pacing, and for a 6 hour game, there's a lot of stuff in the campaign. It tells a fairly compelling story, but the characters fall a bit flat for me. It did manage to capture a couple of great moments. One of which being a showdown on a rooftop against a lot of banshees

#4. Halo 2

Halo 2 had much better pacing than Halo 1, however, it failed to deliver the great moments the first one had. Yougot to play asanother character (the Arbiter), who ultimately ends up being a great character.This game had a lot of additions, with the vehicle jacking, the dual wielding, along with a lot of new weapons. The storyline was a lot more involving than the original. Much likeplaying as the Arbiter, that may or may not be a good thing. It was still the must have game it needed to be though.

#3. Halo Reach

This game has without a doubt, the best gameplay in theseries.It also hasamazing pacing. It introduces space combat, armor abilities, among other things.The game tells a fairly straightforward story, but manages to keep your interest.For me, this game suffersfrom the same thing as ODST, I just couldn't particularly bring myself to care for the characters.

#2. Halo Combat Evolved

This game had, without a doubt, the greatest impact of any of the games in the series.It has the biggest moments in the series. Landing on the beach in the 4th level, "The Silent Cartographer" is alway epic! The game has some pacing issues though. I found that a lot of times Iwould only play the beginning of a level, only to quit after seeing the action segment I liked.

#1.Halo 3

I have the feeling that a lot of people would disagree strongly with me on this one. For me though, this game has the best campaign. There were a lot of levels I really enjoyed playing. The story was pretty deep and involving fora shooter. This game, though it recycles some music, I think it has the best soundtrack in the series. But most importantly, after spending so much time with them, I have actually brought myself to care about most of the characters at this point. This game also manages to get in some terrific action segments (not as good as Halo 1 though). There's a few really epic cutscenes in this game too (end of the 5th level, beginning of the 6th).

#5: Halo 2

#4: Halo 3

#3: Halo 3: ODST

#2: Halo Reach

#1: Halo

The first is still the best in my opinion. I still really like going back and playing it.

I pretty much agree with you, though I think I like Reach a bit better than 3. Also, are we rating them based on how fun and big of an impact they left when they came out, or how fun they are now?

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

I really enjoyed Reach's campaign and liked the new additions to it. The only reason I'd rank the SP over Halo's is that I didn't enjoy the Flood levels all too much. 3's campaign I thought was miles better than the second one, and both 3 and ODST rank better because there were few levels in the second that I enjoyed replaying.

1. Halo Reach

2. Halo CE

3. Halo 3

4. Halo 2

5. Halo ODST

5: halo ODST (not too much with the HALO storyline)

4: halo 2 (pretty fun, played it a few times on the XBOX, but gotta get it for PC, oh yea the ending was pretty epicness!!!)

3: halo 3 (the campaign didnt do much for me)

2: halo reach (campaign had lots of detail and detail to the story and characters, but there can only be one!)

1: halo CE (the best of the best, i have played this campaign probobably 20 times both on xbox and PC, PC multiplayer is fun but if i never played CE, i wouldnt have even known about the halo franchise)

im going to buy halo 2 and PC again then play REACH, CE, 2, 3 all in order so i can get the story all wrapped up.

5: Halo 2
4: Halo 3: ODST

I thought ODST had the best Campaign by far, it was more personal than the rest of the games, bar Reach, I also liked the voice acting in ODST better than the other halo games, they made the characters Likeable.

Halo:CE owns all. It had more memorable moments. The beach battle, introduction to the flood, flying banshee first time, night time sniping, wild ending.

BLAS1AN

my picks would be :

Halo Reach

Halo 3

Halo CE

ODST

Halo 2

I picked Halo 3 because well you finish the fight , awesome battles , You end the flood and take down Regret . Good ending that copied Halo CE in a good way . Idk i just Enjoyed halo 3 the best out of the original trilogy .

1.Halo CE is easily the best campaign of the lot.I have played through it that many times over the years and its actually still an intense game.I like it more then the others because your thrown into the unknown and your just fighting some crazy alien force.The elites are just menacing i loved how they spoke there own language.

2.Reach.Intense gameplay, excellent music, story is straightforward.Hunters are so badass.

3.Halo 2 was alright but i hated how the game drifted with the arbiter and this indepth story about the aliens.I remember the first halo being very intense and sucking you in while halo 2 just felt arcadey and didn't put me on the edge i was very dissapointed.

4.Halo 3 i didn't enjoy.There was 1 great level but other then that I hated the campaign i never knew what the hell was going on storywise, it was all jargon to me.

(I never played ODST)

With all the campaigns though there was always a crap moment for example Halo CE on The Library...man i hate the flood.Maybe i'm biased and just wanted to fight ruthless phychotic aliens instead of big dumb apes...we already got those.

1. Halo Reach

2. Halo 2

3. Halo 3

4. Halo 3 ODST

I never played Halo CE.

my rating was based off memorable moments. Halo 3 ending was a straight rip off of CE. I felt cheated. Halo 3 is my 2nd fave campaign though. would be first if it werent for the ending.

Not many would agree with 3 being number 1.

I did not like their list. I would rate it

1- Halo

2- Halo 3

3. Halo 2 or Reach

4. Halo Reach or 2

5. ODST

I didn't like ODST, I don't see how it deserved a rank higher than any of the main games.

#5 Halo 3 ODST (its cool to see the war in the perspective of a normal soldier, it introduced Firefight.)

#4 Halo 2 (The new features it had like duel wielding, energy sword, hi-jack and extremely intense gun fights, awesome multiplayer.)

#3 Halo 3 (A game everyone was hyped for. First next gen Halo, Great multiplayer, and finishes the story nicely.)

#2 Halo Combat Evolved (The game that started it all, introduced many new ways for FPS's. Good gameplay and for PC it had amazing multiplayer.)

#1 Halo Reach (The final game in an amazing series, it takes 1 step forward and 2 steps back in multiplayer, even more intense gun fights, best graphics for a halo game.)

1.Halo reach

2.Halo wars

3.Halo 3

4.Halo odst

Halo 3 was my favorite of the campaigns follwed by halo 1, then halo reach, halo 2, then ODST.

Reach is my fave. They went back to their Halo 1 roots by re-adopting the idea that less is more. Halo 2 and 3's pacing got a bit crazy and felt, at times, overproduced.

I think Reach also has a better ensemble set of characters.

I completely agree with this also.

1. Halo: Combat Evolved
2. Halo: Reach
3. Halo 3: ODST
4. Halo 3
5. Halo 2

I often wonder if Xbox would have been a success without Halo.

5. Halo 2 - I hated the campaign to no end. I hated being a covenant, fighting other covenant, and being in a group full of covenant, and not knowing who was who. I hated killing my poor AI as I struggled with who was who.

4. Halo ODST - The campaign took me about four hours on Legendary, four player Co-op. I never really felt vincible since they just replaced Shields with Stamina. The story was kind of boring and I wished it was more of a stealth game with no Stamina.

3. Halo: Reach - The campaign kind of flew by. The characters were dry and didn't really spark an interest. Most of the levels felt like a "I've been here, done this before" kind of thing. The two flying missions did spice things up a bit but not enough for me to give the game more credit.

2. Halo 3 - This installment had one thing that made it great in my eyes, four player Co-op and while I have played every single Halo in co-op nothing compared to how much fun I had playing through the story with four of my closest friends at the time.

1. Halo: Combat Evolved - My friend picked this up and we beat it on Co-op, on every single difficulty. There's something to be said about beating a campaign three times in a row and never getting bored of it. At the time I believed in religion and we would gather at our church, system link 16 Xbox's together with a bunch of TV's and play again for hours and hours at a time. It was my first taste at multiplayer gaming other than just playing with one other friend on Golden Eye.

5. Halo 3 Odst

4. Halo 3

3. Halo 2

2. halo Reach

1. Halo CE

I dont get why everyone loved Halo 3's campaign so much, I thought it was easily the worst in the series. The first game is still my favorite and Reach is pretty good too. Reach's major flaw is the main character is kinda lame... I mean come on he didnt even have a name!

1. Halo CE

2. Halo Reach

3. Halo 2

4. Halo ODST

5. Halo 3

To me it's

Halo CE

Halo: Reach

Halo 3

Halo ODST

and Halo 2

1. Halo Reach

2. Halo 2

3. Halo

4. Halo 3

I never got around to playing Halo wars or ODST, but I dont really want to anyways.

1. Halo

2. Halo 2

3. Halo 3

4. Halo Reach

5. Halo ODST

Funny how my order is almost the exact same as the release date order.

By the way, IGN's list sucked, as usual. They are just overrating Reach's campaign because of all the hype it has surrounding it. How Halo 2 can be the last one on their list is beyond me...

5. Halo: ODST

4. Halo 2

3. Halo: CE

2. Halo 3

1. Halo: Reach

pretty much the same tbh

Halo 2 would've been higher on the list if they hadn't jumped the shark with the grave mind. Story-wise, it has its place, so I'm going to say it was a problem with the storytelling that made the grave mind kinda ridiculous.

meh, none of them have been above average for me...i honestly find them very boring and only continue to support based on multiplayer. with that said, i enjoyed them in this order:

Halo 2

Halo 3

Halo Reach

Halo CE

again, none were exceptional or memorable

I loved all the campaigns. They all had their own high and low points. I'm not going to rank them but I'd like to say this about the Halo 2 campaign: I think that the Halo 2 campaign sometimes gets a bad rep because there are people who still feel spurned by the unexpected cliffhanger ending all these years later. I remember when I first beat it, wondering if I had missed another level because I didn't beat it on Legendary the first time through. But time has passed and we have all "Finished the Fight" and I can look back on Halo 2's campaign more favorably. Yes even the Arbiter levels. I have come to respect that character and his place in Halo lore. There were a lot of major plot points introduced in this campaign. We are introduced to the Prophets and their religious "Great Journey." We see the betrayal of the Elites by the Covenant and the transfer of power to the Brutes. Johnson becomes a true character in that he's not some nameless commander with a few funny lines. Of course we meet the Arbiter and one of my favorite and often underrated characters, the Elite Shipmaster, Rtas 'Vadum. We see more of him in Halo 3, but I just think he's a bad ass character. Also, this shot from the opening cinematic of the ODST campaign, gave me even more new-found respect for Halo 2's story. We're seeing In Amber Clad with MC aboard, leaving for Delta Halo. It was a reminder of the epic events going on elsewhere while the ODST's are left dealing with the Covenant Invasion at New Mombasa. It made me want to go back and play Halo 2. DJ_Magneto
