I would say of all the bungie games: I consistently go back to CE, ODST, and Reach. they have my favorite sandboxes and campaign/firefight combat balance. I can challenge myself by adding skulls and still feel like I’m having a really fun/cool time
Nice to have a new fan, I started with 3 and went on from there and it’s been in my top 3 franchises/universes ever since. Reach has been my favorite for a long time now too cause of its insanely hard hitting storytelling, directing and my god that music. Halo 3 is a close 2nd and yeah H5 is my least favorite.
Halo 3 for me, Reach could have been so much better if they stuck with the original lore, but 343 main story guy was writing it, so the hope for a better game was lost. CE was kept simple since no one at Microsoft thought that it would have such an impact on the Xbox and on the PC 2 years later. Also - CE, 2 and 3 were all rushed games, while 4 wasn't rushed at all xD same with Infinite - the game was in dev hell since Microsoft wanted to save money on employees, so it ended up being rushed too = kinda funny when you think about that the best games now are the ones that got rushed and had to cut a lot of stuff.
fair points. my first game in the series was halo 3, and i spent far too much of my youth playing halo reach online. 5 was the last one i played: the drop in the quality of the storytelling had become apparent by then, such that i wasn't invested in playing the games anymore. i can see why you think reach and odst are the best: they tell a complete story in one game. the first 3 (ce, 2, and 3) also tell a complete story, so you could argue that they shouldn't be viewed individually in the context of a review of the story. but i think it's a fair way to do it, and as you noted, they stand alone well enough. i'm taking from this video that you can recommend halo infinite, so i'll consider giving it a look if/when i get a new xbox. anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts. i wish you luck with the algorithm!

@@popamolly247 Halo Infinite is definitely worth trying! It has some open world elements, but it's still decently fun! I did a series on all of them!
The mic makes ur voice sounds muffled
