3, easily
Nothing else touches 3's campaign. I don't care what anyone says about online multiplayer, nothing else can compete
Depends what you're looking for.

CE, 2, and ODST

3 and ReachBecause the communities are existent and you can actually download other people's user-created content. 5's might be good, but I sold my Xbone after I Legendaried the campaign because the multiplayer is Cawaduty

I like 2 and 4

1 and 2 if you want competitivity, 3 if you want casual fun

I think 2 is the best overall but I'll always prefer CE.
>>321937347
Halo Wars, every other halo has mediocre gameplay and trial and error map design on higher difficulties, at least they didn't create an RTS that was inferior to everything before it like they did with FPS
>>321938846
I love Halo but it's linear as fuck, how the fuck is the map design trial and error?
Im gonna be a minority here, but Reach, and 4. Both had ups and downs, but out of all the games, those 2 left the biggest impression on me. Plus, they both have drivable Pelicans.

because you were too young to play the original trilogy
halo 1 is simply the best but halo 3 for having fun with forge and custom games
no halo game ever felt like it had the same feeling of the levels from the original halo and the weapons were never as fun

Nope
>>321939184

Except yes.
It has the best and most competitive base game, only thing that comes close is 2. It's just missing gametypes.

And a decent ranking system because the current one is fucking dicks

I haven't played since the last patch so hopefully its different (doubt it, 343 a shit) but I remember the placements being retarded, like 30% of players placed in onyx for ffa.

5 is tight as fuck but req system kills it in warzone. 2 was good all round.
>>321939092
Um...no nigger? Ive been playing Halo since 2002, read almost all of the books, comics, collected planty of figures, etc.
You probably think Halo 3 was a masterpiece when in fact its the most fistingly shitty, plothole-ridden entry in the series. And up until the shit that Halo 5 has done to the plot, ive actually liked 343I's direction with the series.
>>321937347
>gaylo
>>321939832
Nah, I don't think any of them are masterpieces, 2 was my favorite and you're still an underaged faggot
Halo 3 was the best
>>321939697
>And maps
Literally more maps than other Halo games on release. More added each month
>b-b-but forge maps
The Halo 5 director already said the new maps counting towards the 16 additional are non forge, a mix of warzone and arena
>ranking
It was broken, but it's much better now. Placements are fixed, it's hard as fuck to get into even diamond in anything now, let alone onyx, and matches are far more equal.
>soundtrack
Nothing even comes close to 2 wtf

>Literally more maps than other Halo games on release. More added each month
With 3 being exclusive to warzone and 4 being exclusive to breakout
Don't try to disclose that fact
>>321939784
4's is a trimmed down version of halo: reach's. You could at least have said Halo 2 Anni forge.
>>321940119
If you're going to discount them, then be sure to discount the maps exclusive to big team for Halo 3.
only 3
>>321940253
Big team battle wasn't a game mode, it was a playlist
Don't be retarded son
Halo Online easily
>>321940162
I would, except for the fact that 2 has about half the amount of guns the other games do.
Of the ones Ive played
1 >= 2 > Reach > 3
3 was such a letdown its not even funny, saying this as a campaign focused person rather than multiplayer
Reach > ODST > 2 > 1 > 3 > 4 > 5
>>321939962
>2 was my favorite
Fair enough. Halo 2 was great.
>underaged fag
>and you're still a nigger
>>321940329
And? Same as breakout.
>>321940401
to similar feeling to halo 4
>>321940505
Except there's no game modes except Breakout on breakout maps.
I haven't tried but can you even play slayer or normal ctf on them? Regardless it would only be in customs and not in the normal playlists unless 343 wanted to do reverse-arena-breakout which would be retarded because arena breakout is the only good form of breakout

And stuff like sandtrap only had BTB on it.
>>321940982
Except Sandtrap had multiple gametypes which were all in BTB?
How don't you see the difference
Halo 2 will always be the best. It's the one that made the most impact on me at the time of release and for a large part it made xbox live and online console gaming what it is today. It was the perfect game at the perfect time. The rest are all great games minus 4, 4 can fuck right off. Enjoy this picture of cortana that has tumblr in the filename because I couldn't be arsed changing it.
>>321941123
It was a playlist that limited you to only a couple maps, much like breakout.
In normal slayer you were only limited to a handful.

In terms of raw, multiplayer gameplay (i.e. mechanics, maps, and balance), Halo 2 is the best.
The best game overall is Halo 3 because the multiplayer gameplay is only marginally inferior to 2, and the extra features it has over Halo 2 are huge.

Oh fuck what is that pic from again
>>321942894
To mix it up.
I can't do just Arena, there's only so much strongholds I can take
>>321942985
Team Slayer or bust, my dude.
>>321942894
This little thing called "fun," anon.
>>321943069
Team Slayer is my most played sure, but again, I like variety and I like objective based.
No idea why 343 won't implement an actual objectives playlist, arena is shit
if there was a pc port for reach would any of you play it?
>>321943087
I love fun! My question still stands!

That's a hard one, I think 4 it was good but I enjoyed more reach
>>321943178

halo online will never be a thing
>>321938412
This 300%
>>321943187
Because the last 5 minutes of a Warzone match where both teams have Level 8 REQs and call in fucking everything is exactly what the namesake implies; A Warzone. It's chaotic and dumb and amazing.

CE's campaign and story is super overrated.
>>321943912
>5's writing above CE's
>5 and 4's campaigns above CE's
Just because you think something is overrated doesn't mean you should underrate it, Jesus Christ.
>>321943178
if it had the same god awful unchangeable FoV that the first port had then no chance in hell, unless the guys that ported Turok to PC do it i don't care
>>321944393
I don't think CE's story is bad, it's just not to my tastes, i don't think minimalist story is good for halo since it has such huge lore.
CE's campaign though is legit just not as good as the others I think. At the time it came out it was good, but it hasn't aged well.
It has a ton of levels that are endless repeated corridors, which while standard for the time of it's release, don't cut it now.
A lot of the wide open levels it has, while a novelty then, aren't handled well in comparison today: mission 2 is so big you have to drive for like a minute straight from one battle to the next in a mostly empty field. The later halo games still had expansive levels to some degree but were bettr about keeping it a reasonable size, and actually filling the space in.
Also, the latter half of CE is almost the second half in reverse, and there's much less enemy and visual variety in the campaign, I got tired of fighting the covenant in the same sorts of spaces a good mission or 2 before the flood showed up, and I got tired of them 1-2 missions before the end of the game.
Also, the library.
>Halo 5 trailer: Chief is alone and it's clear he's actively searching for the guardians
>now: Chief is with his old team and just sort of stumbles upon a guardian while looking for Cortana
>Halo 5 trailer: it appears as though Chief is doing a bunch of crazy shit and causing chaos so he and Locke have every reason to be hostile with each other
>now: Chief just refused to not go on a mission, he and Locke are hostile for no real reason, Chief does jack shit, things just sort of happen around him
What happened? Did they change a bunch of shit or was it supposed to be some kind of bait and switch?
>>321946054
They picked up a new story guy around 2014. The original teaser was in 2013.
Hunt the Truth was all ONI propaganda.
Halo 2 soundtrack volume 2 was the best shit. I let the whole CD play during my long rides from home to college. Took my to a different place
