Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that Halo 2 was the defining FPS of 2000-2010, and one of the finest masterpieces ever conceived?

it had the best campaign

i'm fucking sick of shitters trying to tell me that halo 1 or halo 3 had a better campaign than 2

halo 1 was a strong campaign for sure, but halo 2 took that shit to the next fucking level

3 was a goddamned letdown in comparison, way too short with no arbiter missions and it reeked of cut content

2>1>3 in terms of campaign

if i had to rank them all

2>1>3=reach>4>5

>it reeked of cut content

Every Bungie Halo game had a load of content they had to cut, that's part of making a game.

I really liked ODST. I dislike the direction they took the series past that, but i guess that comes from what happened with Bungie.

>console fps
>defining anythimg

get outta here kid

I'm with ya on that opinion mate.

I really can't agree. Nothing can compare to 1. Absolutely nothing. You go from repelling boarders to saving fellow marines to mounting raids with said fellow marines until there's literally none of them left because it turns into a zombie game halfway through (back when zombies weren't done to fucking death).

The levels are varied, the enemies are varied and you go from having squadmates back you up into sole survivor territory which changes the entire tone of the game.

I give 2 props for trying to mix things up by having you play as an elite, but none of the missions were as memorable as in 1.

5 is closer to 2 in every way
the real list should be among these lines
2=5>3>1>odst>reach=4
reach wasn't very good

i fucking hate neo Sup Forums so much

8ch/v/ is your home now old man

CoD4 defined 00's FPS games better

I agree with your general sentiment, but 1 easily has the worst campaign, it just has so many issues due to it's age.It's still good, but it's not as good as the rest

>reeked of cut content
lol do you not know anything about 2? Literally hall the game was cut

You are insanely blinded by nostalgia

Most of the levels have repeated hallways out the ass and are just coordior fests, the few levfels that do have substantial outdoor sections are too wide open and empty for their own good. There's way less enemy and weapon variety then any other halo game, and it leads to stuff getting stale. The latter half of the campaign is basically just the first half in reverse with flood and slightly modified layouts.

The only truly memorable missions in ce are Silent cartographer, guitly spark, and the last one, but the last mission of every halo game is super memorable. you could add the library to that, but for all the wrong reasons.

It's still an 8/10 campaign, but it pales in comparison to the campaigns of pretty much every other halo game. The fact the story is so barebones only exacerbates the issue. It just hasn't aged as well, ce is very clearly made before the era that it caused, and is as much like older FPS's such as goldeneye, doom, or marathon as it is like the other halo games.

>b-but what about Halo and the moment you walk out of the bumblebee pod!

A great moment, but it doesn't make the whole mission memorable.

By contrast, I would say 2's Metropolis, Arbiter, Delta halo/regret, Gravemind, and great jopurney are all super memorable. For 3, it's just the covenant, the ark, cortana, and Halo.

I could go on for odst/reach/4/5 but eh

Anyways, campaign wise:

2 > Reach > ODST >> 3 > 4 >> 5 > ce

Story wise:

2 > ODST > Reach > 3 > 5 > ce >>>>>>>>>>>dog shit>>>>>>> 4

>we live in an age where talking about Halo on Sup Forums, and even PRAISING IT is acceptable

I bet you started with Halo 2. Halo 2 was only liked because of its Multiplayer and innovated it was at the time. The good thing coming from the Campaign was the story. It's at least better than the shot that came after Halo 3 but ultimately you can clearly tell it was rushed.

>cod 4
too many automatic weapons and killstreak shit
cod2 is where it's at
just me and my kar98k unscoped no bullshit
also i have a soft spot for the ppsh41 for how fucking amazing and iconic it is

as much as americans love to stroke the cock of the m1 garand the ppsh was truly the greatest weapon of the war with the mg42 following closely behind

Halo 2 came out in like 2005


How new are you fucks in here?

No

Iunno. There were a lot of good parts but also a lot of boring nondescript sections. I think most of all it suffered from feeling too much like H1, like it really was what would have been called an expansion pack in the past.

UNREAL 2004

Halo 1 and 2 are the reasons why I am really glad that my dad got me an Xbox when I was a kid.Though I partially agree with you.Titles as Half Life Halo and CoD4 should be the defining FPS 2004-2010 imp. If you want to go around the 00's I would say pretty much Unreal Tournament doom,quake,etc.

Halo 3 was better

but Halo 2 was still really good

>im underage and dont know shit

it still has the best story of any halo game despite being rushed and being cut to hell and back

>strong narrative that's not overly simple or overly complex
>tons of amazing dialog and lore details
>had two parallel plots that intersected towards then end

etc

>can we all agree that Halo 2 was the defining FPS of 2000-2010
Halo 1 defined console FPS and nothing else.

Modern Warfare is objectively the defining FPS of the decade.

>and one of the finest masterpieces ever conceived?
Fuck off retard

I guess getting a PC port exclusively made to push Microshill's new shit OS some 3 years after the original console release makes Halo 2 a full fledged PC FPS

>Modern Warfare is objectively the defining FPS of the decade.
This.

it popularized all that is wrong with MOST current fps games.

>Regen health
>Bullet sponges
>Small maps

>2 Weapon slots
>Regenerating shields

Nah, it killed the fps genre

too late for damage control :^)

>Halo 1 defined console FPS and nothing else.

As a halo fan, not really. Halo ce almost plays more like marathon or doom then it does like any of the console fps's it inspired. Ce very clearly belonged to the era before and 2 to the era after

>implying there's anything wrong with a regenerating shield as long as there's a health bar under it

There is.
At least for me.

Are you seriously saying that the fact that it got a PC port makes it any less of a shooter designed around console controls limitations?

Only for teenage xbots who have no fuck idea what they are talking about
