Halofags, what's the best game in the franchise in your opinion?
My vote has to go the first, since it was revolutionary when it came out in the Xbox, almost 15 years ago, was one of the first games I ever played, and it introduced us to the Master Chief. Who's a pretty cool guy, and doesn't afraid of anything.
Runner ups are Halo 2, and ODST.
Halo2. Probably the best MP maps of any game
>>342989786
ODST > 2 > 3 > 1
throw the rest into the bin
>>342989786
Halo 2. Still play the multi regularly
>>342989786
Halo 2 > Halo 3 > ODST > Reach > CE: Anniversary > CE > MCC > Wars > Halo 5 > Halo 4
>>342989786
2
ODST is overrated shit
ODST is the best. I also love 1, 2, and 3.
Reach has incredible armor designs, creature designs, art direction, score, sound design, and Invasion was pretty dope, but it failed on too many levels to be ranked with the other games in my eye.
Halo 4 is a fucking abomination. Halo 5 is the fucked up stepchild of that abomination that tried to do something good with it's life (weapon balance, free updates, forge), but was still a complete fuckup regardless.
1,3,5 in no order.

>>342991416

fucking delete this post you retard
>>342991562
Reach is better than ODST by virtue of not being half a game at a full game's price
I played Combat Evolved so much that the Jackal's shields are permanently white whenever I play the game.
>>342991562
why should I?
ODST was an abortion which clearly was actually aborted before it was done
reach at least had some glimpses of halo.
>>342991715
>terrible campaign

5 is the first halo game I didn't get excited for. Pretty hard to do after being let down by 4 so much. May try it out someday for the campaign.
>>342992136
why is it that no one can list actual, factual points against Reach? Every list I've ever seen is full of subjective nonsense
>>342992572
The campaign isn't anything get excited about either. There are some good parts, but it's all mostly a set up for Halo 6. 5 is one of those games you play just so you don't feel like you wasted money.
>>342992825
Not him but why when Reach's issues are thrown out in the open Reachfags can't defend their game, spew insults, and run when their tails are in between their legs?
>>342992445
>Pointless hub where you essentially ignored everything as much as you could not to have to waste ammo
>In more than half the missions including the last one you are paired with immortal NPCs
>Because of the health system they pussied out with the difficulty not only they made the game easy but they always designed the maps in a way you always have multiples i wont get hit no matter what spots, no level required you figure out the layout and charge forward while facing hordes and hordes of dudes like halo 1 and 2 especially
halo 2. and wow there are a lot of halo games, i havent played them since 3
>>342989786
ODST hands down the best halo, followed by reach then 3, 2 and 1 kinda just linger at the bottom in my opinion, granted I didnt play much multiplayer until reach
>>342992825
actually his 15 fps point is more than enough
the whole game felt so disguisting i had to force myself through the campaign, same shit with the MP, i played a few matches and never touched it again
>>342993295
I don't care, at all. ODST is amazing. The city, the atmosphere, the music, mystery. It's wonderful.
>>342993295
ODST was the start of Bungie's fall from grace, Reach was the second abomination to come from them. Not even going to talk about Destiny. After ODST and Reach I knew not to purchase Bungie's next game.
>reachfags
fucking faggots
>>342992825
I don't remember much about the game because i rushed it through but i remember that i couldn't care less about the cast, the game felt completely disconnected not only from the plot but each level didn't really had much to do, it wasn't like the halo 1-3 where you kept going
The levels were rocky, they designed essentially corridors with nothing or almost noting in between arenas, the design in previous game was way better and more complete. The last level was fun at leas
it was also painfully slow
It feels like they cut development time and the game got rushed out and everything it did was done way better in previous games

>>342993765
The thing that baffles me the most is that they didn't make the game starting from before the invasion and ending in a mission where you help chieft take down the scarab and maybe the aftermath
Why the fuck did they had to come up with that alien thing shit you never see in any of the other games

I love reach.
Why does every say odst was the best? Personally i had more fun playing reach than any of the others.
>>342994365
T. Contrarion faggot
>>342994496
I like it because of the atmosphere. It's like to Halo what Vice City was to GTA III.
>>342994496
I personally think it was the best because of the open world city with random patrols and a dark atmosphere thats unique to the halo games, with a cast that seemed more human and realistic then chief did. Also the fact its in the halo 3 engine probably helped.
Why people are so happy with ODST? I think is the worst designed (bungie ones of course)

CE has aged, but it still gets enough right to be worthy of at least being considered the best, especially on the campaign front.
2 probably would be the undisputed greatest Halo game if it was finished. Unfortunately it's not finished, but what is there is still top notch.
3 is the most overrated game in the franchise. Period. Not the worst, but the most overrated. Likewise, Halo 3 babbies are the cancer of the fanbase, at least until 343 apologists start to outnumber them.
Reach and ODST work when played in certain lights. They excell and fail in different areas. Some of the more casual fans may find them lackluster.
4s campaign gets a bad rap. It's harmless and does enough right to be worth a playthrough if you've made it this far. Everything else in 4 is a travesty outside of its maps, which are well designed but unfortunately rendered useless by the Infinity gametypes which destroy the concept of map control.
The guardianbowl has an absolutely horrendous campaign, to the point where I can't even reccomended it unless you plan on getting invested in the multiplayer, which admittedly is the best the series has had in years.
2 = 3 > 1 > Reach = ODST > 5 > 4
This is objectively 100% correct
>>342995065
IDK myself I always considered it and Reach garbage and treated both like they didn't exist.

There's no sizeable gap between any of them, so the list is pretty close.
So glad Halo ended after Reach. Any more would've been overkill. Microsoft probably would've cobbled together some shit team to keep pumping them out. Good thing they didn't and now they're completely dominating the console market.
What a world we live in.
>all these 3babbies
3's campaign was utter shit, what the fuck
>>342989786
Can we just admit that story wise, Halo 2 is the best and Halo 3 is the worst of the trilogy?
They completely ruined the Prophet of Truth in 3
>>342997186
Well, you found one. What's not to love about turning on the Bandanna Skull, and mowing down wave after wave of flood in a nigh constant onslaught?
>>342997423

It might not be as palatable to a modern audience, but I still think the classic movement would still make for a better game.

Master chief collection being finally fixed is truly xboxs greatest gift

Why is 2 at the end of your list? Are you dyscalculic or something?
So how would you guys have fixed Halo 5's story?
Personally, Halo 6 has to nail the story. that was the thing that a lot of people loved about Halo, it had a well done story. If they don't I won't buy it
>>342995589
Yup.
2 has the best campaign
3 has the best multiplayer
The rest of them are either mediocre or garbage.
>>342997847
3 deserves being at the top, above all except maybe 2 or Reach.
>>342998027
>How would you have fixed Halo 5?
By making it a stand-alone game, all it is is a set up for 6.
I wouldn't have included any of the EU either. Unless you've read half the books, and watched the short films, you have no clue who the fuck anybody is.
>>342998291
3 had a shit story.
>>342998027
Give Blue Team the actual character they had from the books and not more fucking quipsters. I mean JESUS- did fucking Joss Whedon write that game?
Don't involve the arbiter and ruin him even more. Or if you have to have him there, have him tell the newbie spartans to go fuck themselves as he helps Chief escape.
Have ONI actually be corrupt and have EGGHEADS get her brain blown out as Chief goes through a full-on assault through the facility.
Have that pink ball be in more of the game. I liked it.
>>342998392

>>342999681
Everything but custom games I agree with
>>342999565
ODST & Reach they slow your fucking moments down to a crawl mixed in with gimping your jump height because. With ODST it really didn't make any sense due to you being able to use almost all of Chief's moves and take more damage.
>>342999681
thats a big grunt
>>343000081for you
>>342999721
You could tell from the start the story was written late into development and it clearly wasn't written by Joseph Staten. It felt like Bungie just shoehorned shit in at the last minute just to try and connect Reach to the mainline games. The characters all sucked too.
>>343000002
You're not a cyborg in ODST. It makes sense to gimp your jump and movement speed. Couldn't care less about Reach.

>>342997579
Idk, mang. For me, halo has always been about verticality and flanking in using sweet hops.
I like how there's a bit more options as far as movement. Clambering means that literal retards can make jumps that used to take actual skills, but that means people with actual skill can fly around the joint like a hepped up spider monkey. I liked armor powers and how they changed up encounters, and 5 did an excellent job of balancing and making movement options enjoyable
>>342997396
The god tier multi and all extra features helps to balance out the weak campaign.
Do people still even play dewrito?

When played halo it felt like a regression desu.
Only two weapons at a time, like 5 different enemies... only nice thing was vehicle, but even then they were under exploited if not in coop
>>343003920
The only reason halo amounted to anything is because Xbox didn't have anything interesting and absurd amount of MS marketing. The only "additions" halo did were limitations due to gamepad controls scheme
>>343004267
(not to mention fucking 3 different levels copy pasted all over the fucking game = nature, covenant ship and foreruner ruins)

>>343004036
-Excellent controls
-Two Weapon limits
-Great outdoor environments
-Regenerating shield along with health
-Smart A.I.
-Vehicular combat
Sure, some games may have had one or two features before, but Halo made these become a mainstay.

>hurr my health regen so I can just play like a retard because I know that as soon as I hide behind a wall for 6 seconds I'll be back to full huuuuuurrrr such gameplay such skill
>>343004620
Really? I have to explain how poor maneuverability results in you being hit more often, and health packs getting tedious? In previous titles there was expectations that players are not total morons so few strategically placed health packs would have to suffice. Casual halo couldn't make that assumption anymore, so why don't you carry infinite amount of shield or health with you. Great addition indeed!
>>343004798
>>343004619
halo 1/reach were the only ones to do health regen right, ie you get a shield and your health will still drop and not recharge if you get hit without your shield up. 2/3/4 onward are casual health systems barring possibly odst but it has red jelly so i don't count it

>>343005626
this. i'll agree that mouse is far superior for aiming but nothing beats a joystick for movement
>>342992520
3 is literally the worst campaign, it completely ruined the game for me. 2 had the best campaign with 1 coming pretty close to it and the others being shit.
>>342989786
Halo 2 > Halo 3 = Halo > ODST >>>power gap>>> Halo 5 >>>power gap>>> Shit >>>power gap>>> Halo 4 = Reach
ITT: contrarian assholes.
>>343005626
>>343005758
It's great in a platformer. In 3d fps you need great surrounding awareness, you need to be able to aim to strafe accurately to, gimps. Mouse is part of the movement, precision jumps, etc.
Halo 3 is the best because it is close enough to Halo 2 but with systems in place to make it infinitely more replayable and interesting.
Halo 2 has the best gameplay in the series (with a few flaws)
Halo CE is the best campaign, fuck anyone who complains that it reuses some assets, got some GOD TIER levels especially for bro-op
ODST is alright but mostly uninteresting
Reach killed the franchise, worst maps and brought over kiddies who changed what Halo "should be" and basically caused 4/5's multiplayer
>>342989786
ODST for sure, the soundtrack when sneaking around the city is comfy as fuck.
>>343005142
Video games are about having fun, you fucking autist.
>>343004619
>that list
Consolebab pls. The one thing Halo revolutionized was the console FPS control scheme. All the other things are tweaks to the formula (most of them bad, and beginning to be abandoned now) or have been done by other, popular games way before.
Halo gameplay actually did not influence the FPS formula very much at all, when you think about it. What the series is about and where it shines the most is when it puts the player in a big open-ended environment, populates it with AI capable of doing more than charge/sit in cover, places weapons and vehicles around the environment, and lets the player play. It's sort of a sandbox linear shooter, if that makes any sense. Now think about your boilerplate modern shooter: narrow hallways, static AI, limited possibilities. While we can certainly point out levels in Halo that do those things, it is not what the games are known or remembered for. People love AotCC, not Library. People love part 1 of TaR, not part 2. The would-be "Halo clones" all failed because they weren't actually like Halo at all.

Halo 3 had the best level design and missions in the series. Halo CE had great levels and missions too but there were some stinkers " The Library, Keyes, The Maw". Halo 2 good tier mission and bad missions, most of Halo 2's bad missions came from Arbiter but Master Chief's missions starting with Regret started to fall apart as well. Let's not forget Halo 2's ending. Halo beyond that has been shit.
Singleplayer wise, I can admit that CE is the best. I never played any other halo aside from 3 and I always assumed it had the best campaign.
I still say 3 had the best multiplayer. No one will ever know how amazing custom games were.
I also liked Reach somewhat but we aren't allowed to talk about that here.
depends
for MP
Halo 2> Halo 3 > Reach > dogshit > Halo 5 > Mighty No 9 > Halo 4
for Campaigns?
Halo 1 > ODST > Halo Reach > Halo 3 > Halo 2 > the rotting corpse of a dog > Halo 4 > getting lobotomized > Halo 5
343i is garbage shit is the main theme here. Ironic that Bungie Halo was still good at its worst and they went on to make Destiny which is absolute shit. MS tried making a team for the specific purpose of keeping their most iconic franchise alive and this is seriously the best they can come up with.
Halo Wars doesn't get comparisons because it isn't even the same type of game. Story is alright and it's a fun RTS in an environment where you probably won't see anything competing with it. As far as RTS go, its nothing special.
I never played 2 or ODST so kinda DQed but
3>Reach>CE>5>4
4 > 3 > 2 > 1

Shut your whore mouth Halo Wars is a fun time. Better than any 343 bullshit
>>342989786
halo 2. halo 3 could have taken it if their hitcode wasnt utter dogshit
>>343003845
>lots of people play
does it work on anything other than vista on pc now?
>>342989786
Story mode:
Halo 2 > Halo Reach > Halo ODST > Halo 3 > Halo: CE and anniversary > Halo 4; never played Halo Wars or Halo 5
I had the most fun with Reach's MP and 4 was the easiest to get into if you'd only played other shooters. Halo 3's MP seemed hard to get into because of the competitiveness of the community but I didn't play 3's enough because I didn't have a 360 until high school and all of my friends had switched over to CoD4 at that point. Halo 5's seems better than 4's MP but I don't have an xbone so I couldn't tell you.
>>342989786
ODST because they were based on Starship Troopers.
Not some Forerunner Electric Boogaloo armor.

Well we'd have to go back to halo 4.
One of the things that made halo lore so interesting was the lore with the forerunners. They gave you just enough information to make the forerunners interesting, but left out just enough to make them a mystery. The only thing you had to go off of was their structures and machines.
And then halo 4 comes in with its stupid "LOL U DA CHOSEN ONE" librarian bullshit.
One of the things that made master chief such a cool character was that he got through challenges through skill and determination. There was no magical bullshit, there wasn't any "chosen one" nonsense, it was just a guy who saved the day through pure strength.
And then there's the didact.
What kind of villains did the previous halos have? You had a lovecraftian parasite that wanted to assimilate the whole world because of its unstoppable hunger, you had prophets that genuinely believed they were doing the right thing by lighting the halo rings, you had warlords that worked for said prophets who are simply just trying to follow orders.
What type of villains does halo 4 and 5 have?
Uhh, there's this didact guy. He doesn't like humans. I have no idea why, he's just kind of a butthead.
And there's this Warden Eternal guy. Ummm. He works for Cortana I guess? Oh yeah, Cortana's a bad guy now...or...something.
Fuck modern halo. Fuck everything about it.
>>342991201
What was the point of Reach again?
You put down an uprising right?
But then you had to get Cortana and give it to Keyes or something?
This is the best part of that shitty game:

Fucking based.

Also don't get me started on the wasted potential of Halo 5. It could have been an interesting look at ONI and how the UNSC might not entirely be good guys. It would be the first time in the games where the UNSC could be portrayed in a bad light. I was under the impression that chief and Locke were going to have some type of moral dilemma.
But nope, instead we have the some old "DA ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS" nonsense from 4.
Also, I was really excited for arbiter and chief banter when they announced arby was gonna be in 5. They literally aren't even in the same room until the end of the fucking game.
>Campaign
3 > CE > 2 > 4 > 5
>Multiplayer
CE = 2 = 3 > 5 > 4
ODST & Reach aren't worth mentioning since both games were made for the shills that love Destiny. The Bungie shills that came with ODST were never Halo fans and like try and fit in with the real Halo fans and would go as far as to say even Destiny is better than 343 Halos.
So you Bungie shills triggered yet?

Except apparently every studio, including most recently blizzard, admit kb+m fps controls rape gamepad so hard there is no realistic chance of balancing it out without giving gamepad players auto aim so aggressive it would kill the fun for everyone. wasd is perfectly adequate for navigating the game environment in combination with mouse.
>>342989786
I recently just played through them all again.
2 > ODST > 3 > Reach > 1 > 5 > bone cancer > 4
Also, in terms of armor design:
Reach > ODST > 3 > 1 > 2 > 4 > > > > > 5
5 is excellent and you're fucking retarded if you think otherwise
3>1>2>Reach>ODST>4>5
>>343013737
Gameplay-wise, sure. But the story is shit, and the maps are too similar aesthetically.
>>343015807
The story has been shit since Halo 2
>muh aesthetics!
they're all different and are far more unique than Reach, which was just campaign maps
>>342989786
>Halofags, what's the best game in the franchise in your opinion?
Overall?
Probably 3 for multiplayer, CE for singleplayer.
Franchise should've ended with Reach honestly.
>>343016290
Nailed it.

>Fuck modern halo. Fuck everything about it.
I'm with ya. They gave the game to people who either 1) saw in the brand name a monetary/professional opportunity to boost their careers or 2) wanted to push their bullshit political agenda garbage
And in the meantime, they fucked the whole thing up.
