Rank the Halo singleplayer campaigns? (only the Halo games in MCC)

[jidong216]

Just curious which campaigns ppl think are the best

[Zidious G]

Halo 3 is the best game in all aspects.

Then I can't decide between 1 and 2s campaign. I think 2. The rest aren't even on par.

Tough cookie....between 1, 3 and Reach.

Halo 2s campaign, while being blast back then, and still is at some levels, suffers from CoD syndrome - push on though to spot X to stop infinite spawn of of enemies, even in Covenant levels, within super tight levels . And fact that Halo 2 anniversary spawns can be really, really bad (Like 2 ghosts pop out right in front of you)- Yeah , I say it . Sue me.

First game might have good pacing , yet repeating level design to a fault . Reach has no Flood (making combat that much more fun ) but has some BS moments where you die over and over unless you get lucky, 3 has some good combat pacing , even at flood levels , but single player is super short .....

2>3>1 reach is just call of duty with spartan skins and 4 is terrible.

Heard mixed reaction from 4, so it's a wait and see. Apparently 5 is pure garbage.....

In terms of gameplay, Halo CE is my absolute favorite. Such beautiful pacing in nearly every level, even if a lot of geo and layout is reused.

Beyond that, I'd say Reach, 2, then 3.

Reach and ODST have my favorite stories, but I'd have to say CE and 3 are much better paced levels, enemies, and varity of gameplay.
I'd say 3 is the best, seeing how it's the one I keep coming back to the most.

Halo 1: Best atmosphere and enemy AI.
Halo 2: Best story and lore expansion.
Halo 3: Best vehicle combat segments.
ODST: Best music oh mama mia.
Halo 4: Best wasted potential.

2 >>> 3 > Reach > 1 > ODST > 4

[Exodus]

Halo 2 than 1 than 3. CE and 3 are on the same level to me. Almost. than ODST, 4 and reach.

Halo 2 is my favorite both story and combat wise, I love the dialogue, and how fast paced it's combat/gunplay is, it feels refreshing to play even today.

[Jade Merrydown]

Honestly, for me it's Reach>3>1>2 I'll probably catch a lot of flak for putting Reach before 3 but I honestly like it more.

I haven't played ODST or 4 before so I'm not able to put them on the list.

1>3>Reach>2

The first one is still amazing considering when it was released. The atmosphere is still great and the shotgun is the best.

Halo 3 fixed up the combat sandbox, added equipment, new vehicles and made every weapon viable. The levels were more open than Halo 2. The story is rushed but it could've been worse.

Reach added more on top of Halo 3 and there's a ton of guns, enemies and vehicles to use as well the armor abilities. The story was kind of meh but the levels had a lot of variety.

Halo 2 has nice looking levels but most of them are repetitive with a very linear path to follow limiting your tactical options. The weapon sandbox is borked as you don't have enough ammo for your favourite guns and it'll always fall to the Carbine/Beam Rifle/Brute Shot combo since Covenant weapons are useless against Brutes and Flood. Also the amount of Ghosts kamikazing towards a Scorpion tank has zero tactical sense.

Speaking of Brutes, seriously these guys soak up a ton of gunfire and if you aren't giving them number one priority on the battlefield, they'll rage and silently sneak up to you to deliver a one shot KO.

Almost every encounter on the higher difficulties forces you to anticipate where the enemies are coming from. If you don't you're mowed down in a couple of seconds because Bungie didn't balance the game due to deadlines. Also levels were cut out and some guy thought it'd be a great idea to nerf the shotgun considering how weak the other weapons are.

And yeah "git gud" doesn't apply here when cheese tactics and luck are needed to beat a poorly designed campaign. Almost every person who beat it on Legendary, universally agrees that the balance of the campaign is bad.

2's single player story is the best, while 3 has the best levels and is a blast in co-op because of it (though it's a bit short). Rest are mid

[Susuki]

1. Halo 3
2. Halo 2
3. Halo CE
4. Halo ODST
5. Halo Reach
6. Halo 4

Granted, I enjoyed all of them and they're all great in their own ways. For example CE feels the most mysterious and difficult of the bunch, Halo 3 has high replayability and especially fun when you're doing co-op, and so on.

[Zunkey]

From best to worst: Halo 2A, reach, ODST, halo 3, CE, 5, 4.
