As the overall best Halo game, I agree. However, ODST just takes the top spot for the best campaign IMO.
Three words to validate Halo 2 as the best multiplayer experience: Tower of Power.

I'd agree to that. ODST (despite peoples hatred for it) had the best characterization and development of any campaign for the Halo games. Plus, it had great levels, a spectacular soundtrack, and a lot of exploration. Downside? Mombassa. -blam!-ing. Streets. As for tower of power, I never got to play it :/ or any Halo 2 online for that matter...

I loved Mombasa Streets. :P Granted, there were some -blam!-ing annoying repetitive areas and I'd have liked to have been able to go into more buildings, but the atmosphere of that level was [i]gorgeous[/i]. Tower of Power was [i]amazing[/i], anyone who did get to play it will tell you that - especially when they got their turn on the turret and moweddown hundreds of players all charging towards you.

Indeed it was. It just got repetitive after the first 3 times of walking through it. Tower of power sounds awesome :P Wish I'd got to play Halo 2 online :/ Unfortunately, I didn't get live until a year and a half ago.
