What is your opinion of each Halo title and the series as a whole?

Just going to compare the single player campaigns:

Halo 1: 4/5. The game didn't age very well to be honest. Some of the level designs are just very bad and repetitive. You can easily get lost even with the help of arrows. Some levels are still memorable though (can't remember the name of the one where you drop from a Pelican on some beach, but that one was nice). Still had some of the best co-op experience ever though! I'd say I'm raising the score by .5 just because of that!

Halo 2: 4/5. Legendary is just a bitch in this game, if you play alone that is. Snipers everywhere, cheap enemies camping just for you to appear. Overall, bad enemy spawns pretty much everywhere. I must say I'm one of the few people who liked the cliffhanger ending! Some of the best music from the franchise are in that game (I'd say I'm raising the score by .5 just because of that). The Arbiter missions are not bad, but the one when you encounter the flood is just too long for no reason.

Halo 3: 5/5. From having played the other games more than ten times each in my life, I'd say this game has definitely the most balanced single player campaign around. The levels always bring something new to the table. You really get to try every weapon and vehicles in the game, plus most of the missions are long with epic battles. The 4 player co-op is a nice bonus too. My only disappointment is that the first mission is not that fun to be honest.

Halo ODST: 4/5. Nice use of an open environment with the Rookie. Only thing I really hate about the game is that everything is so dark and the grenade throw was changed for no reason at all. The game is definitely better when playing with someone else. I wouldn't recommend it any other way. Also, amazing soundtrack!

That is all.
