Reach embodies what the greater world of Halo was about. Loss. Not steam rolling through the Covenant as the bad ass Master Chief, but humanity fighting tooth and nail just to maintain a small sliver of hope. Needing the sacrifice of Spartans. The greatest weapons of humanity, to lay down their lives just to let others live to make another sacrifice another day
Reach was the first halo game I played from start to finish, so it defined what halo was for me. It _was_ halo. So I was a bit confused when I got around to the other ones to find the goofy vibes
For me, Halo Reach really is the ultimate halo story, bc it highlights what made halo’s story so good in the first place: it was never about chief. It was about the world. And as a marine IRL, the attention to detail with the dialogue and story… it just feels so authentic
Your take on Reach is unbelievably diabolical that I disagree with almost completely. Like at first I was like “ok I can kinda see it I guess” but as you kept going on about being the “newbie” and not being chief I progressively was like “bro what are you on rn.”
Still watching the Reach section, but I just find myself disagreeing with some stuff. Noble Six never felt like they were leading the charge to me, more so like they were the one stuck doing all the dirty work. You’re there to witness every one of your teammates’ deaths from Jorge onward, and you see the full scale of how much of a tragedy the fall of Reach really was. I don’t think they intended for it to be an unraveling mystery either - at most, it was more of a sinking feeling of “Can we really win this?” I agree that the characters were kind of weak, but it’s not a character driven story to begin with. It’s about the Fall of Reach, and all the Spartans can do this time is follow orders and hope things turn out for the better, yet they never do. On a side note, I do like Noble Six though and the bits of emotion they do show, like how Jorge’s death must’ve had some effect on them if they felt sorry for coming back to the team alone. Yeah though, Reach at its core is just a story about how in spite of how hopeless the battle of Reach may have felt, your actions did mean something in the end - humanity couldn’t have won without your sacrifice. It’s also got my favorite OST and my 2 favorite missions in New Alexandria and Lone Wolf, so that counts for something.
12:45 i have never had a video lose me this fast in my entire life. Halo reach wasn’t even my first halo and I’ve never disagreed with someone’s reasoning for not liking something like this before EVER
Reach is interesting cause it wasn’t “the Halo team” it was kind of the leftovers. Joe Staten and Jaimie Greismer had both moved on to destiny/being pushed out of bungie. Who was left was Marcus Lehto, Lee Wilson stepping up to fill the spot Joe vacated, and Jamie’s successor. And it really feels like it’s not the same halo team as the first three
I’ve been on a video essay kick, so the algorithm shot you my way. It’s super cool to see and listen to someone smaller while they talk about something I also love. Good luck on your journey, dude. Keep it up!
The chapter title “there’ll be another time” is a such kick in the balls man. Yes there will be another time. A time that has already passed, the glory days of halo we already grew up with, the story we already know, behind us, never to return.
ODST is a Halo 3 DLC and it wasn't a full priced game. It was $40 and pre released the Mythic 1 and 2 map packs. Map packs were also $20 each back then so value wise you got a campaign at the quality and size of actual Halo 3 bundled with a hardcopy that has $80 worth of DLC on it. Damn good deal if you ask me, 343 could never
@benc77 In the US in '07 full priced games like Halo 3 were $59.99 plus tax and ODST was $39.99 plus tax similar to Halo CEA. ODST definitely wasn't sold as a full price title, at least here in the US.
This is an example of a very well made ranking video, I disagree with every single one of the rankings and stand by my opinion, but every reason you put down was reasonable and the script was well written. Great video!
I’m tired of having to listen to Halo Reach slander. I don’t care what anyone else says, my own opinion of Halo Reach is that it’s the best Halo. Also acting like the Reach story is building up a huge story where we already know the ending so it isn’t satisfying is a wild take when it’s a story about hope and futility,
Yeah it’s almost like it’s HIS list and can say anything he wants as it’s HIS opinion, and you don’t HAVE to listen to it. You clicked on the video man 😂 I agree halo reach is higher on my list as well, but god forbid someome else has a differing opinion to you. If you enjoyed it, why does it matter where someone puts it??
Personally I love hearing other people’s opinions on stuff I put higher, as everyone has different experiences. There’s so many titles that everyone’s list will always be different, which is why these are so interesting.

@@charlietaylor-barnes1706 dude I still liked the video. His video was on his opinion and I commented mine. Please pound sand. He’s not gonna fuck you bro
Halo 2 was always my favorite. I love Halo 3 multiplayer but the campaign isn’t as fun to me. I think fighting the brutes the whole game is what takes it down a notch.
15:44 tbf Six was the ranking officer behind Carter and Kat and had the deadliest combat rating so kind of tracks that he led a lot of missions. He was new to the team but he wasn’t some green soldier fresh out of training. However I do agree the first couple of Reach missions were mid and the game needed a better inciting incident
After seeing Reach at 5th I knew the rest of the list perfectly. Halo ODST, CE, 3, then 2. Reach has to be my #1 by far, followed by ODST, 3, 2, 1, INFINITE, 4 then 5.
Just adding one thing to Halo Reach. The only reason we play Noble six is because he was the last one that was going to survive long enough to see everything humanity lost. He/she wasn’t bad ass, they were brand new to the team just like we were as the player. Six saw an entire team of spartans die right in front of him/her. Six wasn’t meant to be THE story. My favorite death is when Kat’s shields were down and she just got headshot. That one always stuck with me. Just like that a bad ass could die. Idk man. Reach was the perfect story.
5:58 Fun little factoid; the game doesn’t force you to stay on the Mammoth! I remember when I was kid, I grabbed the jet pack on the top level, used it to balance my landing, and hijacked a ghost. Then, driving forward, it would cause the Mammoth to hilariously speed up to catch up to your progress. Pretty sure it’s a strategy used in speedrunning
My personnal opinion as a first hour fan back from the original Xbox : #1 CE, H2, H3 (three games equally) #2 Halo: Reach #3 Halo Infinite (yes) #4 Halo 3: ODST #5 Halo 4 #6 Halo 5: Guardians
Halo 2 will forever be my all time favorite piece of media. The story, the gameplay, the soundtrack, everything. Playing through the campaign on legendary will be one of the only experiences where I'm beyond frustrated but somehow loving every second of it. I find it charming and it's extremely influential to this day. Its flaws blended with its true greatness are what make it a perfect masterpiece imo
While I personally wouldn’t call it perfect mostly due to its rough development process and some poor balance at times, it is an excellent game and its problems essentially come down to a bunch of nitpicks.
I only beat 5 recently for the first time too. Couldn’t do it when it came out. Absolutely ass cheese. When getting closer to the finish my mate and I were jokingly saying that there is going to be a final 7 warden eternals to end the game, and when the last chief mission has the 9 Wardens (Cortana kills 6, so you only fight 3) we absolutely lost it and had to stop and recover because we just could not believe how much of a joke this game was story wise.
"Yep, you're mad at me." No I'm not, Infinte was dogshit. Only thing it has over 5 is that it genuinely looks good, but that's just because 343 *finally* did what they should have done from the start, making Bungie's artistic vision look prettier.
I got to 2nd place and agreed with your list entirely but disagreed that 1st should be 3 and 2nd should be 2. But your assessment is spot on and sold me . Well done !
They can never, _will never,_ capture the magic that Bungie had. Honestly, at this point, let Chief retire - and give us someone new. Someone that they can make their own.
Seriously 343 err I mean Halo studios has been trying to make Halo their own from the get go (as seen from the fact they wanted to change all the voice actors since Halo 4, but THANK GOD the early play testers piped up and said “WTF is this?”) Retiring the Chief would be the perfect way to do that and tell a Halo story of their own while not tarnishing the legacy of the OG games (plus Steve Downes isn’t gonna live forever and eventually wants to be done with VA work).
Based take honestly; I love Halo 4, and the amount of hate I’ve gotten for it online and irl is CRAZY. Like it’s not Ride to Hell Retribution, it’s just a different shooter. Halo is good, and that’s good!
I couldnt agree more with the list, but, most of all, the arguments used for the placements. Love Halo, hope to see it return to its former glory! Salutes from Brazil!
My list: Halo 2 Halo 3 Halo CE Halo 3 ODST Halo Reach Halo Infinite Halo 4 Halo 5 Didn't watch the video yet if we have the same list its cause we are both Prophets of facts.
HOLY SHIT WE HAVE THE SAME LIST!!!! Hahaaaa, we are the Prophets of Facts! (Fyi I fast forwarded through the video, that's why my comments aren't 40 mins apart)
I like reach. Not my favorite for a lot of reasons but it’s solid. My biggest gripe with the game is just how.. generic it all feels. Noble team, while cool, is pretty surface level. Each character is very one note. The quiet badass (I guess there’s two between Emile and 6), the nerd, the leader, the softy, the smartass sniper. Armor abilities felt like a shot at trying to snag some of the other shooters’ audiences (and was the initial idea that led to the downfall for sprint and armor movement), which isn’t a bad thing, but it just feels shallow. Same with the art style, switching from bold bright colors with high contrast to highlight the enemies, friendlies, and environments to the drab piss filter that went over every game from 2008-2014. I like so much of the skeleton of the game, I just wish we got more time with the characters, a more lively world, and the armor abilities got more testing/tweaking.
@@masturch33f66 I still love H3, the gap down to Infinite is larger than the gap between H3 and Reach. But H3 does feel very much like the last act of H2 than its own story, and it has my least favorite level in the series. Cortana.
@ Yea Cortana’s pretty bad. But it does have The Storm, Ark and Covenant which are the 3 best levels in the series. Halo 2 is my personal favorite campaign, though. I gotta say that The Covenant is THE Halo level. It has everything ranging from a warthog section, to close quarters combat, to an air section, a tank section, another air section with 2 scarabs, allying with the flood temporarily, and some really badass cutscenes like Arbiter taking down Truth. Plus the level combines both a grassy level and a snow level together.
Great video! I really like your commentary and giving a fair reflection of the Halo campaigns that often gets positioned into "old games good, new games bad" mentalities. I definitely liked the gameplay of the newer ones and making the games look good, even though the story was not the best. I agree with your playlist order, although I personally swap ODST and Halo CE, although Halo CE and ODST are really close to each other in their place on your list. Based on gameplay, Halo CE has a greater replayability and its combat has aged very nicely. ODST, to me, tells a better, emotional history that makes you care for each character. Halo CE was a perfect introduction to the series, through its characters and combat, along with the Floor introduction, though the emotional hit it tries to do with Captain Keyes really doesn't hit me that hard. ODST has an enjoyable story that has some gameplay issues, mainly with the visuals being either too dark or way too bright, although I appreciate the vulnerability you deal with as an ODST and not as the Master Chief. Anyways, great video and commentary! Nice job!
I think your wrong about reach. I never grew up with any of these games and didn't hold any nostalgia for any of them. Reach was my first game and I didn't immediately fall in love the series and as I played the other entries Reach became my favorite campaign. Its not about the story of Noble 6, or noble team, its about reach, how humanity will fight to the last breath to save whats theirs, clinging to a dying hope. I agree that the earlier missions are slower and not as good as the later but as a new player to the franchise learning about the covenant and thinking we were going to win because no matter the game you ALWAYS win was amazing. As the missions keep going eventually I realized that reach was going to fall and that no matter what I did it would not matter
As far as story goes, this ranking is pretty spot on, even if I disagree with the points made lol (mostly just nitpicks about certain details) Honestly Halo needs a full reboot doom2016 style, return to classic gameplay and story but make use of current tech without chasing trends. Could even use the original cut H2 ending since it implies the flood will become a greater threat (yes bungie wanted to get away from Halo after H2 but the story doesn't resolve the flood plot) My ranking for story 2>CE>3>ODST>R>5>4>I (gameplay 3/ODST>CE>5>2>R>I>4) -H2 still being the best despite having the 3rd act cut and completely reworked to become H3 is an achievement. Glad the story boards were released a few years ago for closure. -CE is timeless and while the story is simple, it's full of subtlety that's overlooked because it's an old xbox game. The exposition dumps don't help either. -The writing in H3 is significantly worse than H2 (especially anything with Truth), but it still managed to be a very satisfying conclusion in 2007 that wrapped everything up. -ODST is great but it's kinda just fun side lore stuff that's nice to have, solid story but not a lot to hook a new player. -Reach is definitely one of the weaker stories just because the characters don't get time to establish themselves. It uses tropes to quickly communicate characterisation like the older games did, but it has 6 characters with barely any screen time, compared to 2/3 very distinct characters with a clear unique purpose in the story. You could argue noble team is supposed to be side characters like Keyes and Johnson, however they aren't also wearing the same power armour and capable of the same tasks as Chief/Six. -H5 was pretty terrible since the marketing was a big lie and the story ends too early. Although it undoes the H4 ending it did attempt to take the story somewhere new with Osiris and the prometheans(even if they sucked) -H4 is pretty good in a vacuum, but with the context of the other games(and books) it's messy as a continuation with all the retcons. The most unforgivable part of the story is Chief acting like a completely different character even though from his perspective, it's only been like an hour max since they defeated the covenant and blew up the ark. Plus Chief's only known Cortana for just over 3 months and one of those months she was with the gravemind. Not a big deal to most people but it's such a jarring shift in character and relationship dynamic after CE-3. -Infinite attempts to return to form but still continues 343's mistakes. The introduction of the endless has the same problem the banished have "oh btw this new badguy you've never heard of is way worse than the old one". Halo 3s ending was the highest stakes Halo ever needed, covenant 2 and the anti-flood just undermine the original trilogy. The banished would actually be really neat as the replacement for the covenant if they weren't presented as covenant on red flavour steroids, but as a smaller stakes pirate faction in a non galaxy ending story.
Very solid take and I don’t think I can disagree with most points, except for the reboot. There’s no way a company like “Halo Studios” could do Halo any type of justice in that regard.
@@cashisking4691 oh I agree about Halo studios. I have serious doubts about the next Halo, but a reboot is the only way I can see this series have a chance at surviving beyond the next game
Having beat all these games solo on legendary laso this is the rank I give them 🥇 Halo 3 🥈 Halo 2 🥉 Halo reach 4. Halo CE 5. Halo infinite 6. Halo 3 odst 7. Halo 4 8. Halo 5
@YesNo-yl6ws honestly, the story should have ended at 3. 4 and 5 turned Chief into an over emotional character and changed his relationship with Cortana into something weird. Infinite did a little better, but the over emotional Chief still shows up from time to time. Honestly, hardly anything that happened in 4 and 5 even matters in Infinite. It barely gets a passing mention. Halo Wars 2 is really the biggest contributor to its story.
Halo 4 UNDER halo 5 is diabolical. Compared to the other halo games, yes halo 4 was lacking, but it's a good game with a decent story, at least compared to newer games, ESPECIALLY halo 5. - halo 4 has lots of content and some fun sequences, kinda balancing the good ones with the bad ones
@@thenoob2021 Nah 4 is the reason the story is still so messed up. Cortana being evil is lame but it's way more believable than having the Forerunners be aliens who created Chief and the entire events of CE-3 so MC could be the chosen one to fight a guy with a laser that turns people into robot holograms.
as things stand my halo ranking looks like this 1 infinite 2 reach 3 halo 2 4 halo 3 5 halo 4 6 halo odst 7 halo 5 8 halo ce i’ll definitely need to do my own halo series ranking video down the line 🤔
IMO, Halo 4 was the perfect Epilogue for the Master Chief saga. Seeing Chief taking his armor off at the end of the game should had been permanent, a way to say that after losing Cortana, he's done fighting and leaves the Halo franchise to a whole new protagonist. Like how Black Ops II is considered the last true Call of Duty for me, I consider Halo 4 the perfect ending for the Master Chief's story.
The reason in reach you were sent in first is Because your not the newbie your the new guy how’s is hyper lethal like master chief and in the last mission you survive 12 hours in lore fight every thing they have and reach fell quick and there is a bond with noble you have to find the bond it’s there just got to see it and the confusion between the books and the game is the confusion of the battle
Halo Reach is #1 if not then 2 the way the story plays out is magnificent along with so many other factors that play along with it. The only halo that truly pulls on your heart strings.
My first game ever was Metal Slug, i fell in love with the first one, the military themes and setting wich i prefer over the obviously better and beloved MS2, MSX and MS3, the one thing i loved more than anything was the tanks, the Metal Slugs. Now the First fully 3D game i ever played was Halo 2, the very first mission i played? Metropolis, imagine my hype when for the first time, was able to drive a tank in a 3D enviroment, see those little Metal Slugs in a "realistic" game, those two games are my favorite, marked my life like nothing else.
Halo 4 is the worst. It radically changed Chief and Cortana into fundamentally different characters. Halo 4 started the terrible art direction 343 chose, it made a boring to fight new enemy faction, and had characters make dumb decisions no real human would make just to further the plot.... The 2 redeeming things it had: 1. Good multiplayer maps 2. Oddball was the best it had ever been
I have only played the Halo CE campaign and the awful level design kept me from really liking it too much. For me it was an ok experience but didn't entice me enough to play more halo games.
@tyty04292 I don't think it has awful level design personally. Maybe it's nostalgia with me but it was the game that revolutionized fps games. Stepping off on the halo ring, the covenant, the horror of the flood reveal.
Personally I think Emile was well written too. You can see his ego and attitude change as his team starts to die off. He begins to see that Spartans aren't invincible.
ODST is my number 1 but besides that I fully agree with the list. I think the main thing for me that just edges ODST over 2 is just that I find it a lot less stressful to playthrough and I prefer the weapon balance.
@ Halo 2’s campaign still slaps, just that there are certain parts that piss me off to no end even on Normal mode. It’s good if you want a challenge, just not as fun for me in a standard playthrough.
Halo 3 ODST is my favorite halo campaign, and that's not to say the rest of the campaigns aren't as good, and some even better I'll say. But my favorite will always be ODST. It's not a very high stakes game it puts you in the perspective of a real soldier who you kind of take on and make your own. The music is what really draws me in though the music is what fuels my love for ODST. Imo this is the best Halo ost of all time. I really will hold ODST as a special place in my heart. I think it's jus very grounded and real comparatively to the other Halo games. And the music is what caps it off for me.
I think for me no.1 is 3 or reach. Even if Halo 2 was my first Halo I ever played but I think I was too young + played mostly multiplayer at friends. The third one is just this amazing way of wrapping things up. It just awesome in every single way honestly. It just ends in a very satisfying way. Halo reach however was the first Halo game (never owned a og xbox or 360 until like 2011) I myself owned and learnt. I played it so much and became the person Who helped People with legendary runs and stuff. I still do think reach has a great story and is a perfect way for bungie to leave the franchise. But I might also be very nostalgic for the game itself.
When you said that people were gonna be mad at you in the beginning of this video I thought you were gonna put Halo 4 above 2 or Halo 5 above Infinite but this list played it very safe.
I wish we had gotten the Cortana boss fight the concept art suggested, where The Weapon and Cortana were going to face off while Master Chief defends them both, with The Weapon defeating her by absorbing her like Tycho absorbing Leela. It was... Poetic.
All we want is big battles. The magic the bungie harnessed and 343 forgot is the art of just having a bunch of shit going on. Look at the scarab fight on covenant, just stop fighting and watch all the different moving parts. It really feels like youre in that environment. They got scale and environment right back then and we definitely have the tech for big battles now.
Did you know 343 tried to recast master chief for halo 4 Steve downes actually had to reaudition for the role and they tried to replace Cortana’s voice actress too
Halo 4 should be further up imo, think we get so caught up in nostalgia with the first 2 possibly 3 games that we forget that actually pretty much every mission is the exact same, the story line is great but not as fleshed out as later games and gameplay is very resteictive. Halo 4 had missions that were unlike any wed seen before. The story was heart wrenching, soulful and emotional and we had alot of new gameplay mechancs that wed never seen before. All that plus the graphics which id argue still beat some games today despite being over a decade old and youve git a brilliant game. Yes there were frustrating parts but its better that way than a game being boring
I definitely don’t agree that Halo 4 had good writing at all, even the Chief-Cortana stuff. Both characters were butchered, it feels like tropey C-tier Sony Movie drama personally. I agree with the rating but not the explanation I guess
I really wish the rest of Halo 4 was as good as the Chief and Cortana stuff. They genuinely develop the relationship between them so well in that game, but pretty much everything else is stale. Also, I see Noble 6 being thrusted into every situation as him sort of earning his stripes and trust with the team. Carter and the rest of them are clearly skeptical of 6 because he has that lone wolf reputation, so they’re letting him prove his dedication to the squad.
As someone who's been with the franchise since the beginning, I agree 100% with your placements but disagree with some of your points. The bungie Halo games were so amazing that we can all cherish them for various reasons. It had something to offer for everyone. I'm curious how you would rank the multiplayer aspect of the series factoring in forge, firefight, and community offerings. Any chance you'd do a video like that?
My favourite was odst easily I grew up with that game and going back to it I really still enjoy the switch between the night sections and the normal missions and the music blew me away

Yeah there’s a lot of cool almost cinematic fights in Halo 3, but it never felt as fun as Halo 2.
and you found the bullet sponge brutes fun? i probably played it wrong a few days ago but they ate plasma like old Nicocado Avocado on normal diff
Man I hope you get way more subscribers from this! The writing, editing, and pacing of your video is so spectacular! No meandering, it's all meat!!!
15:44 tbf Six was the ranking officer behind Carter and Kat and had the deadliest combat rating so kind of tracks that he led a lot of missions. He was new to the team but he wasn’t some green soldier fresh out of training. However I do agree the first couple of Reach missions were mid and the game needed a better inciting incident
Damn, hurts to remember when new aaa games actually lived up to the hype.
What an absolutely mind blowing trilogy.
0:42 "is such a pillar in my autumn of my child hood" thats some crazy word play.
Its more cringe and overused than it is crazy

1. Halo 1
2. Halo 3
3. Halo 2
4. Halo 4
5. Halo reach
6. Infinite
7. Halo 3 ODST
8. Guardians
4 above Reach? i need to know the reasoning. also ODST in basically dead last is gonna be harder to defend than Reach itself
After seeing Reach at 5th I knew the rest of the list perfectly. Halo ODST, CE, 3, then 2. Reach has to be my #1 by far, followed by ODST, 3, 2, 1, INFINITE, 4 then 5.
Just adding one thing to Halo Reach. The only reason we play Noble six is because he was the last one that was going to survive long enough to see everything humanity lost. He/she wasn’t bad ass, they were brand new to the team just like we were as the player. Six saw an entire team of spartans die right in front of him/her. Six wasn’t meant to be THE story. My favorite death is when Kat’s shields were down and she just got headshot. That one always stuck with me. Just like that a bad ass could die. Idk man. Reach was the perfect story.
5:58 Fun little factoid; the game doesn’t force you to stay on the Mammoth! I remember when I was kid, I grabbed the jet pack on the top level, used it to balance my landing, and hijacked a ghost. Then, driving forward, it would cause the Mammoth to hilariously speed up to catch up to your progress. Pretty sure it’s a strategy used in speedrunning
Factoid I’m pretty sure is something said as a fact but isn’t true
Honestly good critiques on Reach. I think a variation of 1, 2, and 3 is what belongs in 3, 2, and 1.
My personnal opinion as a first hour fan back from the original Xbox :
#1 CE, H2, H3 (three games equally)
#2 Halo: Reach
#3 Halo Infinite (yes)
#4 Halo 3: ODST
#5 Halo 4
#6 Halo 5: Guardians
Man I was not expecting Halo Wars 2 to be #1, but I respect it.
🤣
Halo 2 will forever be my all time favorite piece of media. The story, the gameplay, the soundtrack, everything. Playing through the campaign on legendary will be one of the only experiences where I'm beyond frustrated but somehow loving every second of it. I find it charming and it's extremely influential to this day. Its flaws blended with its true greatness are what make it a perfect masterpiece imo
This guy gets it. Halo 2 is a game unlike any other.
THANK YOU. Halo 2 is in a league of it's own
While I personally wouldn’t call it perfect mostly due to its rough development process and some poor balance at times, it is an excellent game and its problems essentially come down to a bunch of nitpicks.
It could have been the greatest game oat if it wasn t for the hardware limitations
I only beat 5 recently for the first time too. Couldn’t do it when it came out. Absolutely ass cheese. When getting closer to the finish my mate and I were jokingly saying that there is going to be a final 7 warden eternals to end the game, and when the last chief mission has the 9 Wardens (Cortana kills 6, so you only fight 3) we absolutely lost it and had to stop and recover because we just could not believe how much of a joke this game was story wise.
Halo Reach speaks to me on an emotional, spritiual, and physical level
reach below odst is wild, original trilogy sure. odst is great but not S tier.
"Yep, you're mad at me." No I'm not, Infinte was dogshit. Only thing it has over 5 is that it genuinely looks good, but that's just because 343 *finally* did what they should have done from the start, making Bungie's artistic vision look prettier.
I got to 2nd place and agreed with your list entirely but disagreed that 1st should be 3 and 2nd should be 2. But your assessment is spot on and sold me . Well done !
I hope they remake it at this point there isn't anyway the shitty story can go cohesively the way they keeps crack addling around with 343 writing it.
They can never, _will never,_ capture the magic that Bungie had. Honestly, at this point, let Chief retire - and give us someone new. Someone that they can make their own.
Seriously 343 err I mean Halo studios has been trying to make Halo their own from the get go (as seen from the fact they wanted to change all the voice actors since Halo 4, but THANK GOD the early play testers piped up and said “WTF is this?”) Retiring the Chief would be the perfect way to do that and tell a Halo story of their own while not tarnishing the legacy of the OG games (plus Steve Downes isn’t gonna live forever and eventually wants to be done with VA work).
I genuinely feel like there are no bad halo games. Even 5 has its own fun gameplay and cool moments. The worst a halo game can be is mediocre.
Based take honestly; I love Halo 4, and the amount of hate I’ve gotten for it online and irl is CRAZY. Like it’s not Ride to Hell Retribution, it’s just a different shooter. Halo is good, and that’s good!
Halo Reach ranked this low... the only campaign that actually made me cry...😮
Facts reach 1 for sure
Reach is the first halo game that i was able to willingly sit through and complete. The story for me is splendid. 👌✨️
I couldnt agree more with the list, but, most of all, the arguments used for the placements. Love Halo, hope to see it return to its former glory! Salutes from Brazil!
Poor Halo 4. I can’t in good conscience put it above any of bungee’s games or Infinite, but it really is a good game that is definitely underrated
The Didact portion of the story and the gameplay really drag it down for me. The Cortana story is genuinely pretty great
The Didact was a Tzimisce that somehow wandered onto the set of a Halo game.
This made me cackle!

@@MEvans2703same here
I like reach. Not my favorite for a lot of reasons but it’s solid. My biggest gripe with the game is just how.. generic it all feels. Noble team, while cool, is pretty surface level. Each character is very one note. The quiet badass (I guess there’s two between Emile and 6), the nerd, the leader, the softy, the smartass sniper. Armor abilities felt like a shot at trying to snag some of the other shooters’ audiences (and was the initial idea that led to the downfall for sprint and armor movement), which isn’t a bad thing, but it just feels shallow. Same with the art style, switching from bold bright colors with high contrast to highlight the enemies, friendlies, and environments to the drab piss filter that went over every game from 2008-2014. I like so much of the skeleton of the game, I just wish we got more time with the characters, a more lively world, and the armor abilities got more testing/tweaking.

@@masturch33f66 I still love H3, the gap down to Infinite is larger than the gap between H3 and Reach.
But H3 does feel very much like the last act of H2 than its own story, and it has my least favorite level in the series. Cortana.
@ Yea Cortana’s pretty bad. But it does have The Storm, Ark and Covenant which are the 3 best levels in the series.
Halo 2 is my personal favorite campaign, though.
I gotta say that The Covenant is THE Halo level. It has everything ranging from a warthog section, to close quarters combat, to an air section, a tank section, another air section with 2 scarabs, allying with the flood temporarily, and some really badass cutscenes like Arbiter taking down Truth. Plus the level combines both a grassy level and a snow level together.
Great list, only swaps I would do are swapping 5 and 4 and then swapping 1 and 3.
Great video! I really like your commentary and giving a fair reflection of the Halo campaigns that often gets positioned into "old games good, new games bad" mentalities. I definitely liked the gameplay of the newer ones and making the games look good, even though the story was not the best. I agree with your playlist order, although I personally swap ODST and Halo CE, although Halo CE and ODST are really close to each other in their place on your list. Based on gameplay, Halo CE has a greater replayability and its combat has aged very nicely. ODST, to me, tells a better, emotional history that makes you care for each character. Halo CE was a perfect introduction to the series, through its characters and combat, along with the Floor introduction, though the emotional hit it tries to do with Captain Keyes really doesn't hit me that hard. ODST has an enjoyable story that has some gameplay issues, mainly with the visuals being either too dark or way too bright, although I appreciate the vulnerability you deal with as an ODST and not as the Master Chief. Anyways, great video and commentary! Nice job!
I think your wrong about reach. I never grew up with any of these games and didn't hold any nostalgia for any of them. Reach was my first game and I didn't immediately fall in love the series and as I played the other entries Reach became my favorite campaign.
Its not about the story of Noble 6, or noble team, its about reach, how humanity will fight to the last breath to save whats theirs, clinging to a dying hope.
I agree that the earlier missions are slower and not as good as the later but as a new player to the franchise learning about the covenant and thinking we were going to win because no matter the game you ALWAYS win was amazing. As the missions keep going eventually I realized that reach was going to fall and that no matter what I did it would not matter
First time I have fully agreed with someone’s ranking of Halo campaigns. Halo 2 will forever be peak imo!!
Happy to do you proud Spartan!
As far as story goes, this ranking is pretty spot on, even if I disagree with the points made lol (mostly just nitpicks about certain details)
Honestly Halo needs a full reboot doom2016 style, return to classic gameplay and story but make use of current tech without chasing trends. Could even use the original cut H2 ending since it implies the flood will become a greater threat (yes bungie wanted to get away from Halo after H2 but the story doesn't resolve the flood plot)
My ranking for story 2>CE>3>ODST>R>5>4>I (gameplay 3/ODST>CE>5>2>R>I>4)
-H2 still being the best despite having the 3rd act cut and completely reworked to become H3 is an achievement. Glad the story boards were released a few years ago for closure.
-CE is timeless and while the story is simple, it's full of subtlety that's overlooked because it's an old xbox game. The exposition dumps don't help either.
-The writing in H3 is significantly worse than H2 (especially anything with Truth), but it still managed to be a very satisfying conclusion in 2007 that wrapped everything up.
-ODST is great but it's kinda just fun side lore stuff that's nice to have, solid story but not a lot to hook a new player.
-Reach is definitely one of the weaker stories just because the characters don't get time to establish themselves. It uses tropes to quickly communicate characterisation like the older games did, but it has 6 characters with barely any screen time, compared to 2/3 very distinct characters with a clear unique purpose in the story. You could argue noble team is supposed to be side characters like Keyes and Johnson, however they aren't also wearing the same power armour and capable of the same tasks as Chief/Six.
-H5 was pretty terrible since the marketing was a big lie and the story ends too early. Although it undoes the H4 ending it did attempt to take the story somewhere new with Osiris and the prometheans(even if they sucked)
-H4 is pretty good in a vacuum, but with the context of the other games(and books) it's messy as a continuation with all the retcons. The most unforgivable part of the story is Chief acting like a completely different character even though from his perspective, it's only been like an hour max since they defeated the covenant and blew up the ark. Plus Chief's only known Cortana for just over 3 months and one of those months she was with the gravemind. Not a big deal to most people but it's such a jarring shift in character and relationship dynamic after CE-3.
-Infinite attempts to return to form but still continues 343's mistakes. The introduction of the endless has the same problem the banished have "oh btw this new badguy you've never heard of is way worse than the old one". Halo 3s ending was the highest stakes Halo ever needed, covenant 2 and the anti-flood just undermine the original trilogy. The banished would actually be really neat as the replacement for the covenant if they weren't presented as covenant on red flavour steroids, but as a smaller stakes pirate faction in a non galaxy ending story.
Love this take! Thanks for checking out the vid
Very solid take and I don’t think I can disagree with most points, except for the reboot.
There’s no way a company like “Halo Studios” could do Halo any type of justice in that regard.

@YesNo-yl6ws honestly, the story should have ended at 3. 4 and 5 turned Chief into an over emotional character and changed his relationship with Cortana into something weird.
Infinite did a little better, but the over emotional Chief still shows up from time to time.
Honestly, hardly anything that happened in 4 and 5 even matters in Infinite. It barely gets a passing mention. Halo Wars 2 is really the biggest contributor to its story.
Based. CE is the goat, fk Halo 4.
Halo 4 UNDER halo 5 is diabolical. Compared to the other halo games, yes halo 4 was lacking, but it's a good game with a decent story, at least compared to newer games, ESPECIALLY halo 5. - halo 4 has lots of content and some fun sequences, kinda balancing the good ones with the bad ones
@@thenoob2021 Nah 4 is the reason the story is still so messed up. Cortana being evil is lame but it's way more believable than having the Forerunners be aliens who created Chief and the entire events of CE-3 so MC could be the chosen one to fight a guy with a laser that turns people into robot holograms.

i’ll definitely need to do my own halo series ranking video down the line 🤔
IMO, Halo 4 was the perfect Epilogue for the Master Chief saga. Seeing Chief taking his armor off at the end of the game should had been permanent, a way to say that after losing Cortana, he's done fighting and leaves the Halo franchise to a whole new protagonist.
Like how Black Ops II is considered the last true Call of Duty for me, I consider Halo 4 the perfect ending for the Master Chief's story.
As long as 5 is worst, nothing else matters, I’ve never felt more betrayed in my life
The reason in reach you were sent in first is Because your not the newbie your the new guy how’s is hyper lethal like master chief and in the last mission you survive 12 hours in lore fight every thing they have and reach fell quick and there is a bond with noble you have to find the bond it’s there just got to see it and the confusion between the books and the game is the confusion of the battle
Reach at 5 legitimately made me dislike and turn off the video
Halo Reach is #1 if not then 2 the way the story plays out is magnificent along with so many other factors that play along with it. The only halo that truly pulls on your heart strings.

Metropolis, imagine my hype when for the first time, was able to drive a tank in a 3D enviroment, see those little Metal Slugs in a "realistic" game, those two games are my favorite, marked my life like nothing else.

Halo 4 is the worst. It radically changed Chief and Cortana into fundamentally different characters.
Halo 4 started the terrible art direction 343 chose, it made a boring to fight new enemy faction, and had characters make dumb decisions no real human would make just to further the plot....

@@gopackers848 overall I agree
I’d have ODST’s campaign a bit higher but based list ngl. And I agree that 3 was the best overall.
I have only played the Halo CE campaign and the awful level design kept me from really liking it too much. For me it was an ok experience but didn't entice me enough to play more halo games.
@tyty04292 I don't think it has awful level design personally. Maybe it's nostalgia with me but it was the game that revolutionized fps games. Stepping off on the halo ring, the covenant, the horror of the flood reveal.
Personally I think Emile was well written too. You can see his ego and attitude change as his team starts to die off. He begins to see that Spartans aren't invincible.
Reach being that low is a violation
ODST is my number 1 but besides that I fully agree with the list. I think the main thing for me that just edges ODST over 2 is just that I find it a lot less stressful to playthrough and I prefer the weapon balance.
That’s a wild take. But you are entitled to your opinion still
@ Halo 2’s campaign still slaps, just that there are certain parts that piss me off to no end even on Normal mode. It’s good if you want a challenge, just not as fun for me in a standard playthrough.
Halo 3 ODST is my favorite halo campaign, and that's not to say the rest of the campaigns aren't as good, and some even better I'll say. But my favorite will always be ODST. It's not a very high stakes game it puts you in the perspective of a real soldier who you kind of take on and make your own. The music is what really draws me in though the music is what fuels my love for ODST. Imo this is the best Halo ost of all time. I really will hold ODST as a special place in my heart. I think it's jus very grounded and real comparatively to the other Halo games. And the music is what caps it off for me.
I think for me no.1 is 3 or reach. Even if Halo 2 was my first Halo I ever played but I think I was too young + played mostly multiplayer at friends. The third one is just this amazing way of wrapping things up. It just awesome in every single way honestly. It just ends in a very satisfying way. Halo reach however was the first Halo game (never owned a og xbox or 360 until like 2011) I myself owned and learnt. I played it so much and became the person Who helped People with legendary runs and stuff. I still do think reach has a great story and is a perfect way for bungie to leave the franchise. But I might also be very nostalgic for the game itself.
Odst does so well in making us care about its cast good voice work goes along long way

Yeah its called bait and you took it haha
I wish we had gotten the Cortana boss fight the concept art suggested, where The Weapon and Cortana were going to face off while Master Chief defends them both, with The Weapon defeating her by absorbing her like Tycho absorbing Leela.
It was... Poetic.
100% agree on all entries. Get some
All we want is big battles. The magic the bungie harnessed and 343 forgot is the art of just having a bunch of shit going on. Look at the scarab fight on covenant, just stop fighting and watch all the different moving parts. It really feels like youre in that environment. They got scale and environment right back then and we definitely have the tech for big battles now.
Did you know 343 tried to recast master chief for halo 4 Steve downes actually had to reaudition for the role and they tried to replace Cortana’s voice actress too
the audacity!!!
@@silentwillgamesno, it was heresy
Halo 4 should be further up imo, think we get so caught up in nostalgia with the first 2 possibly 3 games that we forget that actually pretty much every mission is the exact same, the story line is great but not as fleshed out as later games and gameplay is very resteictive. Halo 4 had missions that were unlike any wed seen before. The story was heart wrenching, soulful and emotional and we had alot of new gameplay mechancs that wed never seen before. All that plus the graphics which id argue still beat some games today despite being over a decade old and youve git a brilliant game. Yes there were frustrating parts but its better that way than a game being boring
I definitely don’t agree that Halo 4 had good writing at all, even the Chief-Cortana stuff. Both characters were butchered, it feels like tropey C-tier Sony Movie drama personally. I agree with the rating but not the explanation I guess
I really wish the rest of Halo 4 was as good as the Chief and Cortana stuff. They genuinely develop the relationship between them so well in that game, but pretty much everything else is stale. Also, I see Noble 6 being thrusted into every situation as him sort of earning his stripes and trust with the team. Carter and the rest of them are clearly skeptical of 6 because he has that lone wolf reputation, so they’re letting him prove his dedication to the squad.
Reach>Halo2>Halo3>infinite>odst and ce are the same for me >halo5>halo4
nice, i'd only swap reach and CE for my list.
I would swap halo 4 and infinite
Then I would swap odst and reach
Differing opinion
7:06 hot take, but that armor is my third favorite chief armor
As someone who's been with the franchise since the beginning, I agree 100% with your placements but disagree with some of your points. The bungie Halo games were so amazing that we can all cherish them for various reasons. It had something to offer for everyone. I'm curious how you would rank the multiplayer aspect of the series factoring in forge, firefight, and community offerings. Any chance you'd do a video like that?
My favourite was odst easily I grew up with that game and going back to it I really still enjoy the switch between the night sections and the normal missions and the music blew me away
odst is my favorite but objectively halo 2 is the best. great tier list. i wild argue halo 4 is better than infinite but i think i’m alone on that lol.
Halo: Reach will always be my favourite Halo ❤
Halo 2 is my personal favorite, but on a critical ranking, I'd have to argue that Reach is the best by far
Agree Halo 2 is number one. Because it pioneered the whole thing, I'd put CE as number 2. Halo 4 comes in at number 3 for me.
