Hey guys, I’m generally new to the whole forum using thing, but I’ve been playing halo since 2004. I’d just like to hear everyone’s opinion on which halo they think is the best. I love certain aspects in all the games, but when it comes down to it I always choose halo 3 as my favorite. Campaign was great, matchmaking was fun, but what really brings back memories is the custom games. So what’s your favorite halo title?
Mine was Halo 4. I think 343i did a good job with it. A new story, the matchmaking’s good, nice armor parts, awesome weapons, new maps, etc. I respect others opinions, but no matter what they say, Halo 4 will always be my favorite of all the Halos.
I honestly cant choose between Halo Reach and Halo 4.
Halo 4. No matter what other games I play, I always come back to Halo 4. I’m not a Halo veteran in as much as I’ve only had my Xbox 360 for a couple of years. Yet, I have to some extent played all the Halo games, either on my own console or on friend’s consoles. However, Halo 4 is the only Halo game that has kept me coming back for more. I love Halo 4 and I refuse to become bored of it.
Delta Halo is my favorite of the Halo arrays, because of the stone temples seen in Halo 2/ Halo 2A.
My favorite Halo game would have to be Halo 3 Odst, because it had a great design both visual and gameplay wise. You got the extra side story ,“Sadie’s Story”, via the collectible audio logs. Then to top it all off you get to play as Johnson, one of the greatest character in the Halo verse in firefight (if you pre-ordered).
Campaign: Halo CE
Multiplayer: Reach (INVAAAAAASION!!)
Halo 3 is and always will be my favourite Halo game. Epic campaign, brilliant matchmaking, forge, and timeless custom games.
ODST for campaign and co-op experiences (Including firefight)
Halo 3 for multiplayer.
I think ODST tells the best story and is in my opinion one of the most fun as well. It was different but in a way that made the game even more fun.
Halo 3 in my opinion had the best concept for a ranking system, yeah the 1-50 was broken, but the concept and the feeling of accomplishment you get from ranking up was amazing. Plus I believe that the game modes and playlists that Halo 3 had were the most fun, double EXP weekend playlists like grifball, infection, etc. swat, lone wolves, snipers, team slayer. In my opinion it had some of the best designed maps of any Halo multiplayer to date.
I have to go with Halo 3 on this one as well. Bungie nailed campaign and multiplayer better than ever.
I really like all four numbered Halo games. Besides Halo 2, they are all top 10 games of all time for me. My list would look something like this:
Halo 3
(decent gap)
Halo 1
(basically tied with)
Halo 4
(decent gap)
Halo 2
I also liked ODST and Halo Wars, but not to the same level.
Reach and Halo 2.
Least favorite is Halo 4.
Halo reach or halo 4
halo ce= best atmosphere
halo 2= overall best
as great as halo1 was halo 2 just did a great job a reproding it and adding stuff without ruining the feel of halo like halo 4 did
My favorite Halo game hmmm… This a tough one for me, I really feel like Halo 2 was the best to me honestly. Just the nostalgia when I played it as a kid is just so strong, also how it had so many changes!
Playing as the enemy elite, good story and such beautiful music that I would always listen to later on as I grew up. Ill always remember that night of finishing Halo 2 with my bigger brother so late at night........"Sir Im finishing this fight"
Don`t get me wrong I loved all other Halo games but I think Halo 2 is my favorite.
REACH. THE best, every thing was balanced.
Also the maps were great!
Halo 2
I have been to so many tourneys for it and even got invited to Mall of America to be a part of MLG circuit I just needed the ride to get there. I was one day late on that ride. 
GameCrazy supported me for tourneys and would offer me rewards for playing with those w/o teammates. The last Halo 2 tourney I played in was held right before the Halo 3 release. I will never forget it I lost, team got second place. I don’t like to complain, but we were playing on non-updated Xbox’s and Ivory Tower and one of the players on the opposing team glitched into the wall, with the sniper. (I tried to challenge this, but since it was “in the game” it held. lost by 5 kills, my teammate was a random.)
Halo 3 sucked to me, I felt it was giving novice players an upper hand with the abilities. This was when I knew my competitive Halo days were coming to an end.
Halo Reach I liked the environment and game. Played with some players here in MI that were in MLG the only person I remember was Tyler, because we hung out for a couple weeks and he encouraged me. He held the Xbox 360 controller so weird, he did not pick it up with both hands.
Halo 4 was meh I was in school and spent most time studying and being with my significant other. So not too much time was ever spent with it. So I have to say Halo 2 was the best.
TL;DR: Halo 2 was my fav.
Halo: CE Anniversary. I just wish they gave Chief the ability to sprint and do assassinations! Still the best entry by far! Can’t wait to see it redone a second time for the Xbox One, a-la-Resident Evil!
I like Halo Reach.
Halo 3 —> Halo Reach —> Halo 4 —> Halo 2 —> Halo CE
Halo CE has the most SP memories for me but Halo 3 would have my best MP memories
Halo 2 Anniversary (The Master Chief Collection)
