Which Halo Is The Best Halo?
It's a simple question. Which Halo game is the best Halo game? Obviously, the original Halo holds a special place in every Halo fan's heart. I had a permanent LAN setup exclusively for Halo at my house. My parents really loved all the late night yelling matches that accompanied every match.
Halo 2 came out while I was in college, and I would leave my dorm room door open for anyone to jump in my game who happened to pass by. Because of this, it seemed like there was always a Halo 2 game happening at all times.
I played quite a bit of Halo 3 and ODST, but I didn't log nearly as many hours in either as I did in Halo or Halo 2. I never actually played Halo Wars, or Halo Anniversary. RTS games just don't do much for me, personally and I wasn't interested in replaying the single player offerings of the original Halo. I was also disappointed that the multiplayer was just a map pack for Halo Reach.
While we're on the topic of Halo Reach, I think that one may be my favorite in the series. I had fallen off the Halo bandwagon a bit after being lukewarm on Halo 3. Halo Reach re-invigorated my fandom. Jumping online to play multiplayer became a nightly event for both my wife and I for about a month after release, and we played through the game on the Legendary difficulty together, something I had never felt the need to do in the previous Halos.
Of course, this might all change on Tuesday with the release of Halo 4.
