If I took the time to actually build that list, I would probably end up with something similar

Death_is_Legend · February 16, 2016, 3:58pm

I added more stuff and made it more readable

How is Halo 3 ahead of Halo 4 in the domain Customization???

You were able to customize your Spartan way more detailled in Halo 4 than 3!

If you are talking about armor Design, then i would suggest to make a new topic. Customization is kind of misleading IMO

I put i above Halo 4 because I liked the armor design in the game better and it almost had as much options as Halo 4 in terms of pure customization.

I don’t like to compare them per say. I think they all have something unique to offer that is different from the others. for example, I love the 3 shot kill pistol on CE. So much fun playing that on MCC.
BR battles in H2 has been fun.
H3 offered some really good maps
Reach offered new game mechanics.
H4 (in my opinion) refined Reach’s game mechanics and provided the best aim and hit detection when compared to prior games along with more weapons. (again in my opinion based on what I have experienced)
H5 has no question the best game balance weapon wise of any of them.

They all offer something a little different and although similar are quite unique.

“it almost had as much options as Halo 4 in terms of pure customization” lol what?

Halo 4 had so many more diffrent Helmets, Schoulders etc than Halo 3. If you say because of design, thats really up to you. But customization option is more like a fact, and by fact there were more options and assets in Halo 4 to choose from than in Halo 3.

ThexXx0MARxXx · February 16, 2016, 4:29pm

Halo 4 made me ‘feel’ the most, with CE in second. I mean Midnight was soooooo awesome especially that part when u had to blow urself up and you looked at earth and did it. MAN they cranked emotion up to the next level. What they could have done with 5…then they give us locke, who was a mysterious, new, threatening and cool until the game released and he turned out to be more faceless than masterchief. Get it…

I don’t like the categories chosen by the OP and feel some are biased toward the gaming evolution and playlist selection/modes rather than actual game design/mechanics, but I’ll use his format anyway:

Halo 4 forge was better than halo 3 forge but 3 didn’t have that stupid generating light so overall 3’s was better.
