Halo 1 - best halo single player experience. Sucks you in. Would be perfect if it wasnt for the tedious repetitive middle levels. Multiplayer is great but lack of online support (connect24 doesnt count) huts it. This is what established halo as one of the best games ever created and rightfully so. 4.5/5
Halo 2 - single player campaign was interesting but felt tedious a lot of the time. Having new abilities like dual wielding and the sword weapon was cool. Multiplayer kicked it up a notch with online support and established the franchase as a major seller in the industry. 4.2/5
Halo 3 - Single player is least tedious and most fun out of all 3 games. Its probably least as epic though with worst story... The SP can be sumarized as - you get a gun, you fire 1000s of times, you kill bunch of stuff, stuff happens, you drive warthog to finish line. Not groundbreaking but its very fun especially if playing with 4 friends. Multiplayer is next to perfect, more balanced than Halo 2, constantly updated, forge, videos...best game this gen. 4.8/10
Halo Wars - a change for the series but keeps its heart. This is a 100% halo game. Single player is great if not a little too easy, multiplayer is fun and not too hard. For a console RTS this game is best of class. 4/10 |
The campaign in Halo 2 feels tedious because some levels dragged on more than Halo CE's indoor levels, the plasma sword is cool but it is very overpowered and its lunging has a farther range than the shotgun.

I agree that part 2 is the weakest.
I remember when the flood come in for the first time in part 1...that was some intense stuff. Neither 2 or 3 have moments like that... so SP definetly goes to part 1. MP I find to be very barebones though...
If you look at the halo trilogy, it follows the star wars movie trilogy to a T when it comes to story.
1st one - completely classic, blows everyones minds, leaves a great impression
2nd one - darker, has a "to be continued ending", major character is captured
3rd one - kinds tries to do part 1 again and thread familiar ground
