Whether you're an avid Campaign junkie or have only played the missions once, each of us have a few that we preferred over the others. So if you were to think your favorites through, what would your top 5 Campaign missions be?
My choices are in the spoiler:
[spoiler]After some thought, the levels I've enjoyed a lot recently are:
[b]1. Long Night of Solace. [/b]I love the look and feel of this mission and the epic beach battle in the beginning. Space Combat was something different but not too outlandish, and the zero-G covie fight through the ship was hilarious. LNoS would be the most creative of the missions to me.
[b]2. Delta Halo. [/b] Nice variation of infantry combat, firefights, and vehicle action. Very scenic mission as well with great music.
[b]3. The Ark.[/b] The vehicle combat is great and the scale is massive. Just a fun mission all around. And man, when the Dawn touched down on the surface...
[b]4. Mombasa Streets.[/b] I've had many touching moments wandering the city listening to the incredible music and taking out any Covenant I saw. Lots of fun in Co-Op too.
[b]5. The Pillar of Autumn.[/b] I love the vistas of this level and the pacing.
Halo (CE), Coastal Highway, The Storm, and Truth and Reconciliation would also be levels I enjoy.

All the rest are complete trash compared to these missions.

Edited by DarkElmo7000: 3/7/2014 3:05:45 AM1. The Covanent (do i need to explain) 2.halo (halo 3) (do i need to explain) 3. Two Betrayals that was pretty swaggy with all the explosions and banshees 4.New Alexandria was cool especially with the pelican and phantom easter eggs 5. Long Night of Solace was cool with that beach landing space fight zero G space battle. I don t own halo 2 but i played it when i went to somebodies house when I was seven. I dont know how I even remember because that was a while ago like when i was seven or six but there was this city level where you jump on a scarab. I was playing with my friends and had fun even though I couldnt even walk or look around. But all the missions were awesome i cant think of a bad one. Except the last in halo 4

So difficult. Great lost by the way, Goat. :-)

1: Gravmind. Longest level in halo 2 but the most fun attacking the covanent at their home in the midst of civil war. 2.Mombasa streets. Free roam. Nuf said 3. 343 guilty spark. Truly horrifying lvl watching the flood watch you at a distance when u arrive and then to witness blood and gore all over the place while trying to find Keyes 4. The Covanent. Who doesn't like watching the brute fight the flood and watching them slowly get taken over in the process. 5. The Maw. Warthog run at the end :)

The Maw Cairo Station The Covenant Uplift Reserve Long Night of Solace Reclaimer I picked my favorite from each. It was a hard decision but here's why: 1. The Iconic race to the finish in a huge ship about to blow. 2. I love space stations and this is the best level for it. Stunning visuals! 3. Two Scarabs! I repeat, Two Scarabs! 4. Great vehicle based combat. Fun with friends. 5. Space Ma--- Battles! Halo so needed that. 6. I want a Mammoth for Christmas. Please Santa?

Edited by kgj: 4/22/2013 12:10:32 AMFavorite Gameplay: 1) AoTCR/Two Betrayals. Absolutely brilliant set of environments, with some of the best foot combat not just of any Halo game, but among the best I've ever played. So good, and with such a diverse amount of scenarios (stealth, army charges, back to the wall defense, etc.) that I couldn't give two sh1ts about the drawn out pacing and checkpoint spacing in both. And the megabattles for AoTCR... god... 2) Halo and The Silent Cartographer. Fantastic on foot combat. Large, open vistas (especially in the former). The megabattle on Halo and the excitement of speed/pacifist runs on The Silent Cartographer. Excellent pacing (especially on the latter). And let's not forget the Warthog jumps... 3) T&R. Why? I don't know. Maybe the pacing makes me love it so much? Maybe how bada$$ it feels after taking down the Elites in the hell room? 4) The Covenant. Lots of enemies. Lots of ammo. TWO Scarabs. Now if only the fracking Ghosts wouldn't shoot me out of the sky. 5) Requiem. WOW. A Halo 4 mission? But yes, Requiem is great for me because I love me some open, on foot combat, and it gives me a lot of space to manoeuvre. In fact I've been meaning to try an only Plasma Pistol setup of the entire mission just for the lols. Favorite presentation: 1) 343 Guilty Spark and Halo (Halo 3). Love these missions for the emotional tones that they give off. The introduction of the Flood is absolutely chilling and the ethereal choir in Halo meshes perfectly with the "you are the chosen one" atmosphere. 2) Midnight, Two Betrayals, and The Maw. Midnight and The Maw are sort of the same to me (despite Midnight's sh1tty a$$ gameplay). They give off this incredibly bada$$ "against all odds" feel that perfectly builds to the climax of the game. I included Two Betrayals because of the art style and music. I mean, there's pretty much nothing like walking out those doors, seeing the Covies battling the Flood in the distance, and having "Under Cover of Night" playing in the background. Oh, and Midnight having one of the most beautiful advancements of character I've ever seen might give it some points. 3) Tsavo Highway. Don't ask why, I really don't know either. I guess I just loved the music and art style? 4) Quarantine Zone. This mission and Gravemind are probably the only missions that I truly liked in Halo 2. The ghost run solidified Arbiter's bada$$ery for me. 5) Forerunner, Reclaimer, and Shutdown. Forerunner for Didact's entrance, Reclaimer for the emotional tone inside the Forerunner structure, and Shutdown for Didact's dialogue (I loved that Prometheus reference [I]so[/I] much...) Least favorite from every Halo game: CE- Keyes. (This is a great mission, especially from a story standpoint. I just don't like it at all because it's so... [I]confined...[/I]) 2- Delta Halo. That's right. Come at me. I despise this mission because despite the mix of different styles of combat, it's just so damn [I]linear[/I]. Yes, we had some scenic vistas, but [I]come on![/I] We had way better vistas in half the other missions in the series. Halo from CE? The Great Journey from 2? The Covenant from 3? New Alexandria from Reach? Mombasa Streets from ODST? Requiem from 4? 3- The mission that shall not be named ODST- Had no problems with this game. Would gladly replay any of the missions. Reach- Long Night of Solace. That's right Goat. Again, come at me. Some of the most lacklustre foot combat in Halo history, paired up with a space combat section that made me want to fall asleep even on SLASO, with a woefully inadequate "zero-g" sequence. What if the intro wasn't just a scripted mess? What if the space combat was decently fast paced (with a non-slippery vehicle like the Broadsword or something)? What if the zero-g sequence had you legitimately walking on walls? So. Much. WASTED. Potential. 4-None. Not necessarily because they're all great but more because they're all not terrible.

Assault on the Control Room Silent Cartographer Keyes Two Betrayals The Covenant There are a bunch of others that I love, most ODST levels, The Ark and a few Reach levels. But mostly it's Halo 1, the game I can still play and get lost in for days.

New Alexandria[/quote] Also speaking of levels, I noticed something the other day while playing Halo Anniversary At the end of the first level, Chief boards an escape pod. The soldiers and pilot inside are securely strapped on their seats, but the Chief doesn't bother doing so. Things go awry, pilot says prepare for a hard landing, and next you see everybody but the Chief is dead. So... did he kill everybody by bouncing around inside the pod as it crashed?

It's difficult because the type of mission I prefer varies over time. So at any one point I'd probably put down 5 similar missions. However instead I'm going to put down levels that I couldn't do without The Maw New Mombasa Long night of Solace Sacred Icon New Alexandria
