Played ODST for the first time over the past week. I've beaten every other Halo on Heroic and above but just wasn't gaming much when ODST came out. I was really surprised. Some of the checkpoints rank amongst the best and most fun in any Halo game. Some of the battles were really good. I know Buck is now part of the regular Halo but I'd love to see ODST become a regular spinoff between Master Chief Halo's. Basically it would be your slower paced game in contrast with the official Halo's which have upped their speed considerably. I really liked the one, large environment that's used for half the game. The size of it led to some really interesting battles. ODST might be one of the most under-rated shooters of all time.

ODST is my 2nd favorite HALO game campaign. It was fun and full of great moments. Fighting Hunters with no energy shields is so not fun lol! :D

Man H:CE had some serious re-use of areas and back-tracking. I think the grind and cut/paste of The Library was worse than back-tracking, too much of the same for the whole lvl. Two Betrayals is my favorite lvl in the game, even though it's just AOTCR in reverse it's not the same repetitively and, the end battle is awesome. I think what really helped H:CE get more or less a free pass is it was the first console FPS to be as good/fun as it's PC brethren.

Given some distance from the original releases, I found all the games flawed in some way personally. I think how you view each comes down to how much these flaws impact you, your experience at the time of release and overall enjoyment of the sandbox now. The thing that surprised me the most when replaying is that the games vary much more than how I originally perceived them..

I actually enjoyed Halo 4 just as much, but I have to give kudos to the first one. It's just rare for something to hold up after so much time (especially since this was earlier in the 3D epoch). And I don't feel like the game was especially flawed at the time of it's release.

I enjoyed much of Halo 2, the new weapons were great, the vehicle physics were improved and the story was the only memorable one of the lot. But, I just found there was some sections which were just aggravating and poorly designed. Although I'm glad they had the dual wielding, I prefer the single weapon wielding and am happy that's how the series has moved forward in the present. But, it does feel like it throws the weapon balance off for me. The first one was more elegant in it's gameplay loop.

Halo 3 was by far the easiest of the lot for me (Heroic), but with no Elites and barrages of unarmoured Brutes and to a lesser extent the Flood, well, it just made it a meh experience for me. The Unarmoured Brutes are a lame enemy IMO whereas the Armoured Brutes are hella cool.

Halo 2 was 2004, man & they were trying to do a lot on limited tech. The game originally was over 2x as big as when it shipped, they cut almost half the game out. I still think Halo 1's campaign was the most "fun," but you have to admit there's tons of back-tracking or repetitive re-use of areas in Halo 1.

Also, Halo CE can be more obscure at times, it's not always clear what you're supposed to do. I'm not sure if these things (backtracking as-well) are really a negative for me though. It makes it seem like it's me exploring the alien worlds and not just being funnelled through the game linearly (but this is more perception than reality). This is how games used to be and I kinda wish there was a bit more of that in modern stuff.

Was excited to see Action Sack available but it feels like they didn't put a whole lot of effort into this one when you consider all the great stuff that was in previous action sack playlists. Just lots of Sniper related modes and Fiestas on default maps. Although it seems like I may have just been unlucky with the voting.
 
I'm going to have to go back and finish the Halo 4 campaign again...worked my way through 1-3 on the MCC Collection and started Halo 4 but then I bought Tomb Raider, then I bought Sunset Overdrive, then I bought Forza Horizons 2, the I bought Batman AK and then I bought Shadow of Mordor...maybe I'll just hold off on finishing it until closer to when Halo 5 comes out so I'll have the story fresh in my mind.

Why do people f***ing flock to Shotty Snipers? It's like no votes go to anything else but that one. I bet if a room was given the option of Shotty Snipers and two mystery modes, they wouldn't give a s*** and still choose Shotty Snipers.

Quit penalties finally. Game needed them so bad.

WTF!! I accidentally kill team mates almost every time I play MP! I suck at MP now I can get banned because I'm not good?
More and more I'm disliking the way the franchise is heading.

You aren't going to get kicked or banned for one betrayal.

Do we know if it's a vote thing? Or your teammates can boot you? As long as it was accidental, people shouldnt' kick you. I would hope you aren't plasma...er.. ing your teammates, though!!

Other than adding it to CE they aren't changing how it works. The booting system will work as it always has. It doesn't sound like getting kicked out once will lead to any kind of ban though.
 
I seriously hate the Flood. They are no fun to fight. All they do is rush you. Every variant acts the same way. They have no weak point which just makes them bullet sponges. They were fun in Halo CE, but after that they became boring. I really hope they're not in Halo 5. If they are, they better be kept to a minimum.

What? They definitely had weak points. You can one shot them if you know where. They do all come at you, but they do it differently. That said, I'd take the promethians over the flood any day.

I've never found weak points other than their weakness to energy weapons.

You can one shot them with the pistol or any precision weapon. It's the hardest in CE, but it's in the chest area. Essentially where the little "brain" flood are sitting. It's easiest in Halo 3 where you can see it pretty easily. The AR does wonders in Halo 3, as does the melee attack with the brute shot. The Brute Shot is my go-to in Halo 2 as the melee is so powerful and doesn't drain like the sword.

Yeah I found out about the brute shot last night. I was playing Cortana in Halo 3 on Heroic but kept dying and wouldn't get a decent checkpoint. I raged quit.

Cause scrubs are gonna scrub. Very few people want to actually play multiplayer straight up because they're afraid their skills, or lack of skills will be exposed. That's just how it goes.

Definitely agree. When I played ODST and you play as Adam Baldwins Character (DUTCH?) after I finished that level I was like "Why the **** wasn't that level in Halo 3?" And the Buck vs. Scarab missions as well.
 
Looks like MCC is going to be discounted in black Friday sale. Is it worth picking up...is there still a good multiplayer community?

Definitely worth picking up, especially if you like Halo. There is still a pretty big community and the MP game works for the most part :)

If you're patient then you'll enjoy multiplayer. It takes more than a couple minutes to get into a match. And when a match ends, you're taken back to the menu. So you have to start all over again. It's annoying as hell.

Haven't touched Halo 5 since it came out.

On a side note, I am LOVING the Halo CE 4v4 playlist, I wish they would just make it permanent. 2v2 is way too little.
 
After playing the Halo 5 demo it was hard to go back and play MCC because it seemed so slow. I found myself moving towards Halo 4 because it was the closest thing to Halo 5. Now that 5 is out I just don't see the previous Halo games ever being able to draw me back.
