Poll: Halo: combat evolved

[Vrex360]

It's hard to pick really, Halo 1 introduced me to the franchise and made me fall in love with gaming in the first place. Halo 2 had the Arbiter and better fleshed out the multiplayer experience with the inclusion of the Elites. Halo 3 had the bonus of so much extra content and excitement built up around it. ODST was a fun and interesting new approach to the experience and Halo: Reach was, well, Halo: Reach.

I can't really pick a clear winner here.

Wow! Reach hasn't even made it onto the board yet.

 

[Dalisclock]

Only played the first one. It was decent but haven't cared about playing any of the others.

I played reach at a friends last night, I really liked it and actually said aloud, "Wow this is really fun."
I then realised how little I actually enjoyed MW2, with Halo when there is 2, 3, or 4 of us (which there is usually at least 3) we can all play together online rather than trade off.

its kinda hard to compare really, due to slight nostalgia halo 1 is up there, doing campaign it was pretty good (i still think reach had the best campaign tho) and for the online portion i think halo 2 (partially due to nostalgia and how much fun it was with big team battle of all friends going on) and halo reach are at a tie..reach might pull out to be the best though, as im really digging the elite roll and the class stuff mixed it with health and shield.

i think if i had to do an order, it would be

reach
halo 2
halo 1
halo 3
halo wars
halo odst (firefight was fun but the campaign was god awful boring in my opinion, its not that i didn't like some of the characters, i just hated the guns/fluid of gameplay/whole setting of it)

Halo: CE followed by Halo: 2 followed by Halo: Reach. Halo 3 just added a bunch of unnecessary shit that ruined the game, much like GoW2 did but they did it to a lesser extent.

 

[Hiphophippo]

My interest in Halo only goes as far as the campaigns and while I haven't played Reach yet, ODST is the clear winner for me. I really enjoyed the pacing and narrative of it.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Out of all of them my favorite is Halo 2 because of the multiplayer. I used to play that whenever I was at a friend's house. I was always terrible, but it was still a lot of fun. Halo 3 drained the fun for me and Halo 1 was just... alright...

EDIT: Oh yeah, I haven't played Reach yet but it's the first one in a while to actually catch my interest. Is it true that they change things up a bit? If I liked Halo 2 but didn't like 3 will I like this one?

 

[Protocol95]

Reach is my favourite followed by ODST. I liked the more personal stories in them and thought the gameplay was superior to the others.

Thats... A really hard question.

Reach is like a "best of halo" compilation where elements of all 3½ games are put together and tuned, along with a few new things.

Sorta like a mix of Halo CE's open maps, Halo 2's enemies and Halo 3's multi-player gimmicks.

And if you enjoyed Forge before, you are gonna love this.
I have my self spend a quite some time in there and there is already some talented people out there, who have released remakes of old maps.
My personal fav must be the Hang'Em'High remake I found yesterday... Its perfect! Really! It is!

I've not bothered with any Halo games since being very disappointed by 3. Out of 1,2 and 3 though, 1 wins it out.

 

[Beastialman]

Halo 2 was my personal favorite, all thanks to the level Uprising. Seriously my favorite pseudo stealth level in a game EVER. Then knocking down the doors of the brutes whilst being backed up by 20 elites was pretty sweet.

 

[dcdude171]

this is how it went for me

1.) halo 3
2.) halo 1
3.) halo reach
4.) halo 2
5.) halo odst ( if its even considered a game a 4 hours long )

 

[Agayek]

Halo: CE and Reach are pretty much tied in my book, but I voted Reach simply because of the abundance of content that CE simply didn't have.

 

[Lt. Sausage]

This survey has been worded in a biased manner. I refuse to answer.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Halo : CE is easily my favourite, though I could be biased due to it being my first FPS and all.

Played Halo 2 at a friend's house, couldn't stand it for some reason.

Borrowed Halo 3, better than Halo 2, but can't stand up to CE.

Haven't played ODST or Reach yet, might get Reach since it seems to be more or less gravitating towards the first game.

 

[Nouw]

I loved Halo:CE but I need to try Reach.

 

[Shock and Awe]

I love them all, but I cannot decide which is my favorite between Reach and Combat Evolved, I will probably be able to call it after I see if Reach keeps it's appeal.

 

[Miumaru]

Halo 1 had the best story and feel. Definatly. Certainly felt the most epic without it being headache inducing. (after 2, it gets very clusterfucky and hard to know whats going on)

 

[Cazza]

Halo: Combat Evolved

Even though it was very biased in it's poll. It didn't change my answer.
