Poll: What's Your Favourite Halo Game Released To Date?

Weirdly I thought I'd prefer the earlier ones before I played them all for the (more or less) first time recently. Halo 1 had such a boring repetitive mission in the campaign though that it really knocks back my final score on it. I think halo reach and 4 were really good. I haven't played 5 yet and I quite enjoyed the nightfall TV show if only to see Luke cage kicking some A again!

For me it is kind of a tie between Reach and 4.

Halo 3 for me with Halo 2 being close second

Halo 2. It changed the video game world with XBL multiplayer. It has stood the test of time and is playable today. I think it’s fair to say H1,H2,H3 will be voted by 85% of people who played it in its prime.

Those who vote Reach, H4, H5 most likely haven’t played the early games but maybe a few hours.

Respect to all games but those who have played them all knows what the best Halo days were.

4 campaign is a bit better, but 3 all around is my favorite. 5 multiplayer is also solid, and 2 is still so good.

Halo 3 no question. One of the best games I've ever played. Packed full of so much content too. I have some great memories playing that game, and still do from time to time.

Out of the ones I've played it's got to be Halo: ODST for me, I just loved the more muted setting.

I have yet to play any Halo game! I plan to try the Master Chief Collection though!

@Mamabear me too, basically! Many, many years ago I completed the first Halo and that's it! (I had only 3 games for the "og" xbox)

I plan to buy the MCC collection soon... or maybe start with Gamepass ultimate, to save some money and play multiplayer!

Halo 4!!! I love how it makes Cortana an actual character instead of a prop.
Also, Halo 4 is the only Halo game where Master Chief and Cortana's relationship is shown instead of implied imo. I mean there's some good scenes in the previous games, especially in 3, but I was surprised by how much the games left players to "fill in the blanks" in terms of character development and motivations.

Halo 4 gave me the Cortana/Chief story I thought all 4 games had. But I don't know, maybe I would have felt differently if I grew up with the series or read the books.

Halo 5 was ok, but it weirds me out how all the Spartans have giant heads in the cutscenes. lol. 4 had better proportions (and sexier Spartan suits).

I love them all, but I have heavy nostalgia for CE. Certainly the best to me.

I have nostalgic feelings for 1 and 2, because one set the standard for console shooters, and 2 was such a memorable improvement in more ways than one, but if I set those feelings of nostalgia aside, then it would have to be Halo 3, because that game brought even more, and then some.

I've never really "got" Halo. Naturally, when I bought my original Xbox I got Halo with it, but honestly found it a bit dull. There were too many bland and repetitive corridors for my liking (the endless Library and the awful Truth and Reconciliation spring to mind), and when levels did open up they were mostly boring empty spaces to my eyes. Plus, I couldn't look past the fact that the last half of the campaign is essentially the first half in reverse.

Even so, I've played every Halo game barring Halo Wars 1 and 2 and Spartan Assault, and while I've had issues with them all I still enjoyed them. I can't deny the lore and mythology are strong, and the endings to 1 and 3 are amazing. But I'm going to pick the most Un-Haloest of Halo games and say ODST is my favourite, simply because, well, it's unlike traditional Halo

I vote for CE mainly because of nostalgy. However, OSDT and Reach are the best campaigns.

3 would be my favorite. But I really liked 1-3 and Reach.

And nothing since.

I gotta go with Halo: Combat Evolved. It was such an influential game as it broke through first person shooters on consoles. The PS2 had NOTHING like the OG Halo.

Plus; that moment with the Flood is still one of the best gaming moments of all time.

Halo 3. My first Halo game and one of the first games I got on Xbox 360.

I got the Master Chief Collection but I haven't beaten the first game yet. With its difficulty spikes (playing normal) and the lack of maps I find it quite confusing. I started playing again because I want to beat it before playing 2. I have to say that as an Xbox One X enhanced game and on an OLED TV (LG C9) it looks much better, but that's the same for every game I started playing on the original Xbox One and on a cheap LED TV.

Halo 2, for the story (except that ending!) and multiplayer. Many fond memories of taking CRT TVs over time friend’s houses for LAN parties. Good times.
Halo one is a stone cold classic, and I’d say that halo 3 is probably the true best. Such a step forward, and on the 360. Great memories

Favorite for SP and Story are 2 and 3. Best MP for me still without a doubt is Reach ( I also really enjoyed the SP portion as well)

With a free afternoon, a mate or two, some pizza... all of them are binge worthy. Halo 3 might be the best for some co-op.
All of them are my children.

That takes me back! 😆
