Halo was good, but Halo 2 was better.
And Halo 3 was better then both of them.
This.
Halo: CE was amazing but the last level destroyed the game for me, not mentioning the pathetic and infuriating alien voice cast. Also I loved the library level. Shotgun bonanza!!
Halo 2 was great too but removed the things that made Halo: CE awesome . Battle Rifle instead of the Assault rifle, simplified health bar and they purged the overshield/invicibilty abilities. Also the soldiers who tried to be somewhat ethnic with their fake Voice Acting gives me nightmares to this very day.
Halo 3 on the other hand got everything right (except the health bar) that they had developed all these years. All voicework we're finally durable and even excellent, assault rifle back in place, mounted guns that you could take with you and the Gravity Hammer. That they ended the game with a car chase similiar to the first but with a physic engine that you could negotiate with made the game for me.
Music however was excellent through the entire trilogy, probably the best in gaming ever.
