Re: Rate the Halo games

In Response To: Rate the Halo games (Cody Miller)

Best Single Player:
1. Halo ODST
2. Halo 3
3. Halo Reach
4. Halo 2
5. Halo 4
6. Halo
7. Halo Wars

I really loved all the single player stories of Halo, but ODST was the departure to me that really stood out. The story, hub world, "flashbacks", not being a spartan and 4-player coop was perfect for me. Not to mention the dark, rainy setting. Halo 3 gets second for the surprise and enjoyment of 4 player coop for the first time, Halo Reach third for putting ME as the spartan hero and that last level (Lone Wolf), Halo 2 for the first coop experience and the introduction of the other side's story, Halo 4 for the Chief/Cortana exploration and Halo was fun but secondary to it's LAN-enable multiplayer via the college network infrastructure for me. In fact I never played it till Halo 2 was about to come out. Halo Wars was fun, but it was forgettable despite the new experience.

Best Multiplayer:
1. Halo 4
2. Halo ODST
3. Halo Reach
4. Halo 1
5. Halo 2
6. Halo 3
7. Halo Wars

Halo 4 is my favorite of the halo's multiplayer offering because it's what I'm playing now. I also really enjoy the SP coop and SpOps with this one. The permanent addition of sprint for everyone and the weapon sandbox are amazing, and the experiment that started with Halo 3's equipment is so much closer to being perfected with 4's abilities. For ODST, the multiplayer from Halo 3 and the definitive version of firefight in addition to exploring the hub world 4-player style makes it my close runner up. Reach's firefight was awesome, not near as cool as ODST's but still good, and the multiplayer model extending to SP was pretty cool. The on disc maps were only ok, but the DLC ones were some of my favorites, especially the anniversary maps (nostalgia at it's best). Halo 1 was what got me into the games, and I'll always remember hooking up the Xbox to the ethernet port in my dorm and being able to LAN anyone anywhere on campus. Was amazing to get home from class and see so many games going on via our campus wide LAN every day. Halo 2 was probably what I spent the most time playing of all Halo games and holds a special place in my heart, despite the glitches, exploits and such. Halo 3 was good, but ODST makes it obsolete in my opinion. Halo Wars I really enjoyed, just never played it much when I enjoyed the FPS's more.

My two cents.
