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?
