Halo: CE \Halo 3: O.D.S.T. = best campagin

Reach = best firefight

Halo 3\Reach = best multiplayer

did not play halo 2s multiplayer

Forum polls aren't good. Kids make random polls for nothing, and polls looking for legitimate opinions become overlooked. The way members are doing polls here and now, with this post-editing thing, just take up space. Why can't this just go back to being a discussion on which Halo is an individual's favorite?
... H2 brutes btw. The brutes in Halo 3 were just meant to be replacements for the elites, I guess.

Favorite game: Halo 2

Favorite mission: High charity

Halo 3's seemed a bit rushed, and the missions re-used alot of the BSP (run here, ok now come back here, owait you forgot something over there)

forgot to say about the flood. Halo 1 flood were fun to kill cos they just run at you and boom they take the full force of your shotgun whereas the flood on halo 2 were annoying and not as fun to kill. And the h2 shotgun was another one of the guns that seemed to sit above the reticule and was underpowered.

Yes, but instead you had the energy sword that would automatically destroy the flood instead.

But the overall damage inflicted by the shotgun was not as powerful as it should have been

Yes but didn't halo 2 bring on the instant infection thing where your friends wouldn't just flat out die, they would also become flood? That was a cool aspect of gameplay.

That was introduced in Halo 3.

another reason why polls aren't a good idea

uneducated votes

then again, same thing with the voting system in america, too

Nope, it happens in Halo 2, as well. Even I was like wait, i thought tha was only in Halo 3, but I saw it.

Also, Halo Combat Evolved. Heck, I bought two. HCE surpasses all other Halo games in term of singleplayer gameplay, which is basically what I judge most games on, since MP is highly dependant on WHO you're playing with.
I dunno, I just find the rest of the Halos to have what I would describe as shallow gameplay and controls.

You be hatin homie.

Chill bro, 'taint a false claim, I guess I didn't pay so much attention to the bodies the spores were infecting, I was too busy shooting them in the face ^.^;
Halo 2 was the worst, btw. Quarantine Zone and Outskirts were my favorite levels but c'mon, the rest was kinda meh. And to those of you who hates the textures, I did too, but one thing that REALLY annoyed me was the bland, unimaginative particle effects, particularly for the plasma rifle.
:(

I thought the particle effects were fine, dude. They were set up to be more realistic than pretty.
Also, I agree with the Halo 2 campaign sucking. I HATED fighting Tartarus, and the first time I beat the campaign after killing him, I just sat there, looking blankly at the screen in disappointment.

I prefer pretty and fun over realistic any day. Isn't Halo unrealstic anyway? I dunno, basically the particles for the covenant weapons were blobs of green, purple, red, and light blue. Didn't like it at all.

I find tartarus way too easy for a boss fight. Favourite h2 levels were outskirts and uprising.

Halo CE for the win!

Halo: CE \Halo 3: O.D.S.T.

Halo CE/Halo 2

Halo CE, not so graphics intensive, yet damn fun. Customisability my favourite.

Halo 2, better graphics, better netcode, good campaign (i have played it 3 times, ain't bored yet, and my other friends who played it for the first time say its fun, even with their experience in newer games).......basically, many improved stuff over halo ce.

The rest, sad to say, i aint have an xbox, and i aint getting one in the forseeable future, so no experience there.

you're not missing much

Halo 2's story was the most elaborate of all the games. After Halo 2 the games became decreasingly storyline-based. I love Halo 2' story and the campaign, I just hated the ending (oh, and the spinning platform part, I got sooo bored).

It had potential, but they ran out of time and din't choose to delay.
Which gave a game with many more features than Halo 1 but extremely unfinishd and glitchy.
Add in the fact that Half Life 2 got released less than 2 weeks later, all completed and getting compared to Halo 2, and it was just fail.

For quality, quite obviously Reach (no shyt, it's the newest one).

In other ways... I can't decide.

@HIAHG I didn't like Halo 2's legendary campaign and didn't really feel satisfied beating it.
The problem is that when there's Jackal Snipers, skill plays only a little part in your success. It's more relying on luck to not get hit by them.
In fact, I think Jackal Snipers ruined the Halo 2 campaign more than anything else.

And Tartarus was laughably easy, the only problem was it took so LONG to kill him, yet it was always the same process of hitting and then running around.

I think boss fights suck. I like epic endings such as halo 1 or reach.

I think having enemy snipers was a good addition to the campaign of halo 2. You had to be more aware for them. Hgalo 2 on legendary is fun but especially on certain levels like metropolis and the arbiter. Especially the ten thousand snippers on metropolis in the skull area

ODST, while not all of the missions were Golden, the way the game unfolded was awesome. It's a shame they didn't do something similar in Reach, having an HUB in a planet being invaded would have been awesome.

For Multiplayer it's a toss up between... Hell I can't pick, if i'm going by favorite memories it's without a doubt Halo 1 because of all the awesome LAN parties. Halo 2 for my first online experience on a console and Halo 3 just because the gameplay felt pretty damn good, though the maps were pretty terrible.

If they didn't 1sk or shoot so fast and accurately, yes. But as it happens, they do, and it doesn't matter if you KNOW exactly where they are, because only luck can save you from them.

It would seem you do not play much halo 2 on legendary. Whenever i play halo 2 now i mostly play legendary. It is not luck that 'saves' you from them. It is skill.

You're telling me your so called skill can dodge an AI sniper who really doesn't care about your strafing?

Jackal snipers ruin gameplay in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
I'm fine if they have carbines, because they are a pain in the ass enough, but with jackal snipers, you really have no chance unless you have played through that area before; it's a 1 shot kill.

more like in only halo 2 because they could shoot you without even facing you, and were 100% accurate all of the time, and getting shot in the leg is apparently a mortal wound

halo 3 they weren't nearly that f'iin annoying

I say HALO:CE. HALO 2, 3, ODST, and REACH just bored me. In HALO:CE, you have LIFE!!! Not some dumb 2 secs to take down shield! Also the flood in 2, 3, AND WARS are pathetic and weak. The covenant in 2, 3, WAR, ODST, and REACH are weak and boring 2.
Kill a elite in HALO:CE, you get a big yell of pain that makes you fell like you won a fight. In HALO 2, 3, ODST, WARS, and REACH, all the elites do is=ugg. In halo 2, 3, etc., the Drones and Brutes are annoying! Not strong, but annoying! The MP in HALO:CE is fun. In the other HALOS, you have mics, and all peoples say is bad words, and they will not shut up! I can name 10000 more things, but this is my opinion.

I remember having to snipe jackal snipers with a plasma pistol, just cause 1. it was the most abundant weapon, 2. the most accurate of abundant weapons and 3. all the precision weapons had too little ammo or I brought pure close combat weapons.
Good times.

ill be tallying up the votes later tonight.


also i remember in halo 2 when i tried to stick the jackal snipers on roofs xD

exactly. apprently getting shot in the foot with energy shielding is and instakill, yet you can shoot the Jackal in his chest, unshielded, with his ow weapon, and he'll survive the first shot.

they just pop up and shoot you when their striding animation is barely finished.

and they dumbed down the halo 3 sniper's AI a bit, and most of them used carbines, huge improvement.

how dare they do that in an M rated game

Why all the caps? Please post more cleanly, your posting is messy and hard to follow.
And I would say that Halo 3 had the strongest multiplayer, as far as gameplay goes.
