Halo Combat Evolved is the best one by far.
The original was leading the genre, the following two were trying to copy some aspects. Halo 2 was trying to mimic some of the more close city-street based shooters at points. Halo 3 was almost trying to replicate Halo.
Halo CE had the co-op, the weapon limits, hot-keyed grenades, melee hits, plot twists and no boss characters. It was fantastic.

2 and 3 use copy paster levels too, so it's not like they learned the lesson.Reep said:
Anyway, CE did have physics, instead of the bought in engine used ine 2 and 3 it had a very simple collision system based around spheres of impact. If two spheres 'met' it would work out where everything went based on the direction and speed they met at. If it couldn't decide it reverted to a fall back of sending everything directly upwards.
Which is why Halo had such famously bouncy gameplay and vehicles.
The dead bodies were based around the same thing, which is why only explosive made them move. I preferred that, ragdolls always strike me as unnecessary, fighting purple backwards talking aliens in space, it's not as if you need realism and their flailing arms always provided huge satisfaction...

-Halo 1: Combat Evolved (Original PC version)
-Halo Custom Edition (fan-made with much fuller and richer mod support)
Back when Halo 3 was still a beta, someone modded a map on blood gulch for Custom Edition so that it was almost a near copy of the beta.
I just leave the subtitle off the original Halo 1 PC because it shouldn't have been there in the first place. For a while, I thought it was just an expansion or something.
I liked combat evolved, but i also liked wars because it was different and gave me the chance to control a huge covenant AND UNSC army.
but if its just FPS then combat evolved.

Halo 1 for the story, halo 2 for the gameplay and three for the explosions. Although the skulls were a nice addition though.
Halo:CE It has the best campaign, the level designs were fantastic, the flood were exactly the way they should be, the Elites were tough as nails and even alone were considered a threat.
The multiplayer was great for LAN and the ideas were brilliant (riding shotgun on a tank).
If they remade it with updated physics and graphics it'd would be the best by far.
Halo 2 It's campaign was lacking in length and depth, the false advertising used before the game came out also made it a huge disappointment.
It's multiplayer was better because it was online, the ability to dual wield was great and most of the new weapons were great, although getting rid of the assault rifle was foolish.
It also made a few negative changes:
The Battle Rifle: The gun is fine but it should not put a sniper out of their scope as its range makes the sniper more or less useless.
It changed the view for passengers of vehicles to 3rd person which makes it easier but completely gets rid of any immersion.
Vehicles cannot be left while moving, if you are going full speed and choose to leave, the vehicle will slow to a stop first which is dumb.
Halo 3
The campaign was better than Halo 2's but was still too short and lacking in depth. The Brutes make a poor substitute for Elite's and with the exception of Legendary Mode provide no challenge at all.
It adds too many new and pointless weapons such as the Brute Spiker, Brute Spike Grenade and the Mauler.
The multiplayer maps generally speaking are too small and lack the fun of the tank battles from Halo 1 and 2.
You can no longer ride on a tank shotgun-style (apparently the characters forgot how to do it).
They force you to have all the map-packs to play any games modes apart from one or two.
I could go into much more depth but I shall only do so if asked.

Halo 1 i think has my favourite multiplayer for some reason, although many people prefer 3. i spent the most time playing 2 and personally i liked it's story most. i wouldn't really want to play it now though for some reason. i like halo 3's gameplay most (probably because it's so polished) but i was really disappointed with the story (i created my first website membership so i could ***** about the story lol) and it could be just because i'm not great at it but i find it too easy to die in multiplayer, which makes games like capture the flag frustrating. overall i'll probably say halo 1 because it's story is pretty good and was pretty original, and also for the multiplayer.
Halo 2, because its the only one thats not overhyped (because every halo fan hates it for some reason) and im more into games no-one cares about.
Saying halo fans only wont help you, just saying.
Halo 1 for the single player
Halo 3 for the multiplayer

Halo 3 for me. CE was a little hard to follow and Halo 2 had 3 different weapons. And I liked Halo 3's shiney cinematics. I'm not a huge Halo fan anymore, but if I was forced to play one I'd choose 3.
Halo 3 for me, it's the smoothest and the most epic. It wraps up the series very well too. Overall, 3 is my favourite.
