Best campaign of the Halo series, and why

[Barozi]

Halo 3. It only had one bad level (Cortana) the rest was just epic.

Halo CE had also had just one bad level (The Library) but by today's standards the game has many flaws. Inconsistent checkpoints, tons of backtracking, many copy&paste rooms, confusing level design. For the time however it was definitely revolutionary.

Halo 2 had not one but a couple of bad levels and still quite a few of the flaws CE had. Playing as the Arbiter is the only exciting thing.... well that and the theme remix.

Halo 3 ODST is clearly a spin-off. Pretty short, does some things differently which isn't bad per se, but eh. Clearly not a main line game

Halo Reach. Solid title in the series. Definitely had it's moments.

Halo 4. Admittedly this is the only one I haven't completed thus far. It's pretty alright but doesn't wow me that much.

Halo 5. Can't quite see the hate. Gameplay-wise really good. Level design is fine as well. Story-wise not the most exciting one but passable. No splitscreen co-op though...

That means:

1. Halo 3
2. Halo Reach
3. Halo 5
4. Halo 4
5. Halo CE
6. Halo 3 ODST
7. Halo 2
