In this list, I look at the 5 games made by Bungie (Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach) and see which were the best games. Heres the list.
5. HALO REACH
Being the last game that Bungie made, Halo Reach had cool new features like the new forge system, but the main gameplay lacked what made halo special. The game featured armor abilities and load outs, and even earned the nickname "Call of Halo". Its a shame, because if this game had classic Halo-like gameplay such as that in Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3, this would probably be the best game.
4. HALO ODST
Originally a DLC campaign that just grew bigger and bigger, Halo ODST brings you into the life of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper). The game is a fun new way to experience the fight against the Covenant, and introduced firefight mode. However the game was so expensive ($60) as part of the game was multiplayer mode, the same as in Halo 3. Assuming you already had Halo 3, half of the game you already had, and it wasn't worth paying $60, which is a big reason why people -blam!- about the game.
3. HALO 3
Halo 3 being my favorite was the final game against the covenant and the flood as you "finished the fight." The games graphics were amazing, and multiplayer was the best. The only reason why it isn't at a better spot on this list is because there are points from Halo 2 that Halo 3 didn't answer and were forgotten about.
Overall, great game.
2. HALO CE
A great way to start off the Halo series, Halo CE takes you into the life of John 117, a spartan super soldier. The game was the greatest for its time, and there isn't much to talk about besides how awesome it is. With that being said, whats #1...
1. HALO 2
This game was great. Great multiplayer, great campaign, great everything. Even though the ending wasn't the best, the game itself is amazing and the community agrees that it was the best Halo game made by Bungie.
That concludes my list. What do you think? Agree or disagree? Tell me why!

I disagree. 5. Halo ODST While the change of pace by playing an ODST was interesting, the storyline lacked considerably. I hated that there was no character development for The Rookie, and while the film noire thing was ok, it wasn't Halo. It was a detective flick with action that the protagonist didn't even compete in until the end. Not too interesting to me. 4. Halo Reach I don't like putting Reach this far down on the list as I love the multiplayer, but the campaign was where it lacked. The storyline was interesting, but still not the classic Halo. I disagree vehemently with it being dubbed "Call of Halo". In actuality CE was meant to have a sprint feature. That was long before CoD had that add on. As for AA's, no other game has had that experience. You may have perks, but not different abilities that can be used at any time to change the tide of battle. It takes brains to outsmart opponents. 3. Halo 3 My second favorite multiplayer. Only Reach beats it in my opinion. The maps were spectacular, the graphics were state of the art at the time, and the story set it apart by tying up crucial loose ends and bringing a satisfying ending to the trilogy. The only thing I ever had against Halo 3 were small tweaks to the Forge, and how unbalanced the online play was thanks to an overpowered BR, even though I was good with it. 2. Halo 2 I love this game because of it's split amazingness in the multiplayer and the campaign. The balance of the multiplayer and number of ways a game could be played kept me coming back. Some of my best gaming memories are of stacking four Xbox's in a friends house and having some epic 8 v 8 action. It never got old. On top of that the campaign outlined what was to come. Why the elites fell from the Covenant, why the humans allied with the elites, and setting up the Ark as the central installation where the majority of Halo 3 would go down. The emotions coupled with incredible gameplay make this my nunber 2. 1. Halo CE This is where it all started for me. The multiplayer was flawed yes, but the gameplay never got old to me. Zooming in and taking down friends with the pistol during LAN parties, finally honing my skills as my teams sniper after years of playing with them, and we can't forget the campaign that made the modern FPS. Halo revolutionized what gaming was. The arsenal at your disposal, the ever changing storyline, the explosive ending that left you wanting more, a faceless protagonist who you could still relate to, knowing how helpless humanity was compared to the Covenant. Everything fit perfect to make way for the greatest FPS franchise to ever rock a system. CE started it all. It's what made me a Halo fan, and I'll be loyal to the end.
