Tried to do this for Kingdom hearts series before playing the third main entry,got bored of the entire franchise as a result :P

I have about four missions of Halo 5 left. Overall, not really feeling it as much as Halo 4. For starters, unless I missed it, the game still hasn't explained what a Guardian actually is. I had to Google it to find out what all of these massive machines Cortana was activating actually were. The story is really a step or two down from Halo 4. The whole squad based gameplay with revives and stuff is weird, too. Sometimes I accidentally outright murder Buck when I am in a vehicle and he gets in the way and I can't revive him but at the next checkpoint, he's back.

The core gameplay is still great though. Covenant are kind of a bore to fight after the Prometheans. They have a few cool new enemy types and amazing guns. Covenant have nothing.

Completed CE last week. Started Halo 2 today and made it half way through the 6th mission of 15. Hope to have it finished on Friday. Coop with my brother. The Arbiter roles have us confused when when we approach each other from different sides of the map and end up fighting each other for a bit before we realize we are killing each other. Good times.

I am too. On Halo 1 now after beating Reach. Just finish the 343 level and forgot how much I hated getting completely lost in levels like that, where everything looks the same. So annoying lol.

Yeah it sucks. Are you playing the MCC? I found it way easier to navigate those levels in the Anniversary graphics mode. Hell they even put arrows on the ceilings or walls IIRC to make it easier to navigate.

One of my favourite threads on VGChartz. Well done LudicrousSpeed. Enjoyed reading through your experience with Halo games. Love to see others joining in as well.

Would love to read your feedback on Infinite in few months.

Finished Guardians. It had some cool moments but for the most part I found it to be the weakest in the mainline Halo games.

Halo CE - 8.5
Halo 2 - 9
Halo 3 - 8
Halo 4 - 9
Halo Guardians - 7.5

My main problems were the terrible narrative and the level design. Like, Halo 4 had some pretty linear levels, which I guess explains how they got the game to look so damn good. But Guardians seemed even worse. I don't remember a single level with any open design to it at all. Everything was very linear, very follow this one obvious path. Makes me all the more excited for Infinite and its open world and upgrades and stuff. Just the event demo we saw seemed to have more open design than all of Guardians combined. Not a fan of the story either, it was like the next to last level or maybe even the very last one before you found out what Guardians even are, and the ending made no sense. You get one boss battle the entire game basically, they just recycled it like four times. I don't get how Cortana can easily control so many things and the Elder Warden or whatever but she can't stop one small builder AI or whatever from taking away the only thing she seemed to care about?

However, even with those faults, I still thought it was a good shooter because the gunplay and combat design were so great. Prometheans are amazing enemies, I really hope they are back in some form in Infinite and we aren't just fighting Banished. Great weapons and sound again. If there are three areas where 343i seem to poop all over Bungie it's the sound, HUD, and graphics.

I am about four missions or so into Halo Wars 2. I am digging the break from usual Halo gameplay but not really digging the story yet.

I am but I didn't see any arrows! Dang that would have helped. I was stuck for so long haha

Im really impressed to see you give Halo 4 such a high grade and put it on top along with Halo 2. Usually people put Halo 4 and 5 at the bottom of their lists.

I also got lost a lot on the CE levels, particurly the interior sections with the flood. They did add additional arrows in the anniversary mode (original had some, but less) but it's still easy to not find where you're supposed to go if you don't know. xD
