Forums - Gaming Discussion - Did the Halo series went downhill after CE, could Reach bring it back up?

Of course, I speaking campaign and story wise.

I say yes, without a doubt. Halo had a engrossing and epic campaign, the game felt like a mysterious adventure and offered amazing set-pieces. The storyline was pretty solid to boot, it had unpredictable plot twists that were never ridiculous. After that though, it became a straight foward action game and the story just became ridiculous after that. Halo was more focused on marketeing and multi-player (Which is great by the way) instead of creating a rich campaign and exploring it's rich backstory. Halo 3 ODST seemed to be going back to some of the elements of the original, but $60 for a 5 hour expansion pack? No!

Halo Reach seems to be heading towards the right direction, Bungie stated numerous times that they wanted to go back to what made the original special and they're going to provide us a deep look into the fall of the planet Reach.

What do you think?

Could I at least have one reply in this thread please?



Imo the best campaign of any of the Halo's was Halo 2 (I had to have played that campaign at least 100 times!)  

Here's how I see it:

Halo 2 > Halo 3: ODST > Halo > Halo 3 > Halo Wars (mostly because it was a RTS)

But Halo: Reach is looking like it will have the best Halo campaign out of them all (not to mention the best multiplayer ever conceived)

I love all the halo games.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Halo 2 was the worst of them all, at least Halo 3 had it's epic moments (Such as the Scarab battles) but Halo 2 felt like The Libary chapter from Halo CE stretched into 9 hours.

Pretty much. I did like how they added Dual wielding, and how the graphics were VERY good for an Xbox game. But other then that, I was really disappointed.



No all Halo's campaign were great, just hope Reach is better than 3.

The game was no where near as epic as the first gameplay footage shown in E3 2003.

Fun Fact: Halo 2 was made in 10 months.
