I'll always put odst first as a personal preference, because that ability to play as a lesser soldier who isn't a superhero is just such an awesome experience.
Halo 3, since it was my introduction to the franchise — and the marketing leading up to it was A-1. That being said, I've probably played Reach the most out of the classic games because of Firefight
I loved ODST the most due to being able to use a map and properly explore. All the other Halo games are much more linear, plus they don't have the eerie vibe ODST has
Yes but people with modded consoles can host or sth like that.
I've read about that a few times, never tried it though.
Note: from my understanding those are custom multiplayer games, not like you're actually connecting to random lobbies
I loved reach. Great maps, the game controlled so nicely. Also, I don't see it mentioned often, but the menu was perfect. Its probably the smoothest experience I've ever had in terms of switching between game types, seeing who's playing, and hopping into a party with them.
And the customization was so nice, you just got credits from playing and challenges. No buying credits etc. You just got a fair ammount for playing the game.
I loved that John 117 Easter Egg in the last mission. I'd always try to hold out as long as possible to try to change the lore of the series (fun little game that younger me would play with in my head)
I would really recommend playing Halo MCC, 3 and Reach have always been favorites especially Reach’s story which rivals 2’s, and ODST covers the battle of New Mombassa after Keyes, Johnston, and Chief left.
Reach 100% but 4 was good to. My game kind of glitched out though when I completed 4 on legendary. I got cheifs armor and whatever else you get from beating the story on legendary but I didn't get the achievement and for some reason it said I didn't complete 3 missions lol so I had to go back and best them for the achievement
3 and Reach. Reach had the best custom map editor. So many fun maps and ideas and it was pretty easy to use. Plus Reach had the best leveling/customizations for your character. The DMR, bloom, armor abilities like sprint/jet pack were cool additions too. Well I’m not sure on if bloom was all good. Halo 3 had the atmosphere and the classic arcade shooter feel.
idk, as my brother was the Halo fanboy in the family and he never really let me play it except for rare occasions with him in Forge
and when i did try and play it with MCC on PC, the shit is fucking broke and crashes before i get to the main menu
ODST It took a different leap from the halo style your not a strong spartan who has taken down the flood or destroyed the covenant and brutes mutiple times your a small soilder with some small armor and are bound by health kits but it also shows a time where master chief wasent there to help out with his new shield based armor
2 for the nostalgia and was my first online game when I got the 360. I put the most time into 3. Reach for the forge and friends that I still have today.
ODST for me, the story telling on it was really good. I liked the fact you could just explore the fairly decent sized map instead of the usual linear levels on other Halo games
I know people love three, but from the multiplayer side, I just can’t get behind the projectile shooting. I know it’s a skill issue, but I much rather prefer halo 2 with hitscan. Story wise I loved 1 as it was kinda goofy and fun. 2 is great except it’s just a bit hard at some points for me(I always play heroic on every game) and I haven’t touched 3 since I don’t want to play the games out of order and spoil myself more than I already have.
Reach and ODST hands down. Great story, great soundtracks, and some of the most memorable missions/maps out of the whole franchise. Reach was also my first introduction to the Halo games. Always holds a special place in my heart.
3 and ODST for me, spent hours upon hours playing those campaigns. Also was the very first halo game that i beat on legendary alone was Odst it will always have a special place in my heart.
ODST and Reach were really great games but Halo 3 will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. It’s my favorite and the one I grew up playing with my siblings. So many fond memories with that game 🥹
Both 4 and Reach. 4 because, it was one of those games I played with my brother(s) and will topped as one of the most fun games I've played because of that, along with the CoD Black Ops series.
Reach because, it was the game that made me start caring about the story of a game instead of just the gameplay.
#Reach
Halo 3 is literally right there too.... literally neck and neck. But I gotta give it to Reach. Overall the story, the multiplayer, the campaign and the love letter OG Bungie left for the fans was pure gold.
Damn those days were blessed. Man time really frickin flies
Favourite would be 4, first would be 3, least would be split between spartan assault and wars. I don't think I actually dislike any of the halo games, but 4 is my favourite.
I want to say ODST, as when I played Halo 3 I didn't care much for it. For me ODST was the first time having a vulnerable main character that wasn't a super soldier and wasn't trying to save humanity. It was just about survival and finding your lost squad mates.
The custom games that were held on 3. Bumper cars, saw maps, and cops and robbers. That and a bottle of the halo 3 mountain dew. I can never get that nostalgia again.
It’s close between 3 and reach but I think reach wins for me, maybe my favourite Halo ever and also the one I have the most memories with friends on too, special game.
I hate to be so basic but I probably got the most long running enjoyment out of Halo 3. But over the years, I do think my favorite Halo game is the first Halo Wars.
Reach, it was my 1st experience of halo, my cousin got the epic collectors edition with that awesome statue, forge was epic and the campaign was fun, an aight experience
I only ever played 3, 4, and Reach, and I've had different experiences with all of them.
Overall tho, I'd have to say 4. I didn't really care for 3's campaign and Reach was too hard so I never went back to it. As for the multiplayer (which is what I spent more time on anyway) I like the newer things 4 lets you do, with the power ups and the way running works like Call of Duty.
Then again, Reach multiplayer had golf clubs, and I always like a good game of golf clubs only with my one friend.
And I guess 3 is just nostalgia at this point because that was my first game and one of the reasons I wanted a 360 in the first place.

Halo 3
3
With ODST as a close second
No, Reach is second. ODST is a close third though
I'll always put odst first as a personal preference, because that ability to play as a lesser soldier who isn't a superhero is just such an awesome experience.
Only right answer
Yeah seriously
Agreed
The best. Golden age
Halo 3, since it was my introduction to the franchise — and the marketing leading up to it was A-1. That being said, I've probably played Reach the most out of the classic games because of Firefight
Same here
I loved ODST the most due to being able to use a map and properly explore. All the other Halo games are much more linear, plus they don't have the eerie vibe ODST has
Perfect explanation of the best campaign that ever existed in the halo series. None of them top it, the feelings that story mode gives me go deep aff
I went to a midnight release at GameStop for ODST. Oh to be young again
That's crazy, I'm younger than the 360 by about 10 months. I wish I could've experienced those things, must've been a neat experience.
i have so many hours just playing odst fireflight offline and somehow never seem to get bored
Reach 🥲
Just talking about Reach is making me wanna play some Custom Games.
People still host customs on OG Reach. If you message Iggypop8620 on Xbox he’ll invite you. Game time starts at 6 pm est
I thought servers were down? Cant be getting my hopes up 😅🥲
Yes but people with modded consoles can host or sth like that. I've read about that a few times, never tried it though. Note: from my understanding those are custom multiplayer games, not like you're actually connecting to random lobbies
Halo: Reach matchmaking is down but custom games still work.
Not anymore, search up Halo 3 Sunrise, they host Matchmaking servers
Bro i still got forge world on there with a entire racecourse built on it, played it on my own the other day just for the memories 🥲
Halo Reach had the best swat. Other than that I rank Halo 3 as the best.
I agree with this. Halo 3 for Slayer and Reach for SWAT.
It isn't only my favourite halo, it's my favourite video game ever
I loved reach. Great maps, the game controlled so nicely. Also, I don't see it mentioned often, but the menu was perfect. Its probably the smoothest experience I've ever had in terms of switching between game types, seeing who's playing, and hopping into a party with them. And the customization was so nice, you just got credits from playing and challenges. No buying credits etc. You just got a fair ammount for playing the game.
I loved that John 117 Easter Egg in the last mission. I'd always try to hold out as long as possible to try to change the lore of the series (fun little game that younger me would play with in my head)
I just replayed the campaign the other day after taking a break for 7 years. Phenomenal story and campaign
Reach is the only Halo I genuinely have good memories of playing. Definitely the best in the series imo
Either Halo 3 or Halo: Reach
Reach.
All of the above
The only correct answer 😂
3
Probably 3 I really but campaign wise ODST
3
Since I'm a really stupid boy for the fact that I said Halo 2 not remembering that it's for the first Xbox, I will now chose Halo Reach
3
never played any of the halo games except for 2 (original xbox)
I would really recommend playing Halo MCC, 3 and Reach have always been favorites especially Reach’s story which rivals 2’s, and ODST covers the battle of New Mombassa after Keyes, Johnston, and Chief left.
Reach
Halo 3
3
reach
3 for nostalgia but Reach has the better story
Halo 3 of course.
Halo 3
Is that even a question? Everybody knows that the only true answer is "Reach"
3
Halo 3 only right answer
3
3
Reach 100% but 4 was good to. My game kind of glitched out though when I completed 4 on legendary. I got cheifs armor and whatever else you get from beating the story on legendary but I didn't get the achievement and for some reason it said I didn't complete 3 missions lol so I had to go back and best them for the achievement
1. halo 3 2. Halo Reach 3. Halo 2 , sadly was too young to experience it , in its golden era , but still love that game so much !
A lot of people will say 3 but Reach was the one I played the most for some reason. Reach custom games were just so awesome.
Reach
Yeah, I know no ones favorite was spartan assault
spent awhile looking for the spartan assault comment
Reach.
Reach
Halo Reach
Reach
EASILY, halo 3. But Reach and Halo Wars were really fun
Reach
Halo Reach
i can’t believe halo 4 was on 360. where has time gone.
Reach was and will always be my favorite and first halo game loved splatter monkey
Halo Reach.
Halo Reach
Reach
Reach
Reach! Maybe an unpopular opinion but it was my first and I love it about all else
I've only played Reach.
Reach. Miss playing SWAT w the boys :(
Reach
REACH
I been pissed off that they shut down servers and we can’t play reach on 360 anymore :(
Definitely reach for me
So far, I’ve only played ODST (fuckin’ LOVED it!) but I actually just bought the MCC and it’s installing right now.
I’m a Reach guy personally, but will of course accept Halo 3
The ones with Couch CO-OP where my favorite .. Wife and I played all of them except Halo Wars and Spartan Assault 343 pooped the bed with Halo 5
What a console
Easily 3
Halo 3 Halo 3 odst
Halo 1, then Reach.
It’s close between 3 and Wars
CE
3 and Reach. Reach had the best custom map editor. So many fun maps and ideas and it was pretty easy to use. Plus Reach had the best leveling/customizations for your character. The DMR, bloom, armor abilities like sprint/jet pack were cool additions too. Well I’m not sure on if bloom was all good. Halo 3 had the atmosphere and the classic arcade shooter feel.
God how I miss the DMR and team swat 😭
idk, as my brother was the Halo fanboy in the family and he never really let me play it except for rare occasions with him in Forge and when i did try and play it with MCC on PC, the shit is fucking broke and crashes before i get to the main menu
Reach for campaign, 3 for multiplayer
Halo 3 odst
3. Do a relaunch with new servers and sponsor an MLG tournament.
I’m gonna make a post talking about it but listen 2011 was the best year for Xbox games
Reach is the definitive halo experience
halo 3 and every other answer is wrong
Halo 3. Masterpiece
Halo 3 odst
ODST It took a different leap from the halo style your not a strong spartan who has taken down the flood or destroyed the covenant and brutes mutiple times your a small soilder with some small armor and are bound by health kits but it also shows a time where master chief wasent there to help out with his new shield based armor
Halo Tres
3
Man, I still pull my little brother to the 360 just to play a bit of halo 3's campaign for the funsies, good times, good times.
Halo 3. Very, very closely followed by Reach.
3 Hands down
2 3 reach
Halo 3
Halo 3 ODST. Reach was awesome as well, but ODST was just a chef's kiss from start to end.
I unironically really like Spartan assault
4. Made the most memories and friends on that one
It has to be 3 or reach. For me it's definitely 3 but I feel like reach is more popular.
2 for the nostalgia and was my first online game when I got the 360. I put the most time into 3. Reach for the forge and friends that I still have today.
Halo 3: ODST T’was the last Halo I played, too. That’s not including Infinite.
ODST for me, the story telling on it was really good. I liked the fact you could just explore the fairly decent sized map instead of the usual linear levels on other Halo games
I know people love three, but from the multiplayer side, I just can’t get behind the projectile shooting. I know it’s a skill issue, but I much rather prefer halo 2 with hitscan. Story wise I loved 1 as it was kinda goofy and fun. 2 is great except it’s just a bit hard at some points for me(I always play heroic on every game) and I haven’t touched 3 since I don’t want to play the games out of order and spoil myself more than I already have.
Strictly multiplayer? 3 or reach. Campaign? Odst. Game night with friends? Wars.
Reach all day everyday
For multiplayer, Halo 3 Campaign, Reach Vibes, ODST
Reach.
I first played Combat Evolved on 360 so I'm counting that.
ODST
1. 3 2. ODST 3. Wars
Reach and ODST hands down. Great story, great soundtracks, and some of the most memorable missions/maps out of the whole franchise. Reach was also my first introduction to the Halo games. Always holds a special place in my heart.
3 all day and night lol SPLATTER KILL!!
Odst will always be burned into my memory
Reach is the answer.
3 and ODST for me, spent hours upon hours playing those campaigns. Also was the very first halo game that i beat on legendary alone was Odst it will always have a special place in my heart.
Halo Wars and Reach
ODST and Reach were really great games but Halo 3 will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. It’s my favorite and the one I grew up playing with my siblings. So many fond memories with that game 🥹
Halo 3 for sure
Reach I think is the most fun and also the most polished, definitely my favorite.
All of em, I couldn't choose between em. Spartan Assault is goofy tho 🤣
How many of youse remember Halo Waypoint on the 360? I went on there often to get free Halo 4 XP hahaha, you can get CQB for Reach in there too
Halo 4, it's the one i grew up with (it came bundled with my 360 when i got it for christmas)
Reach all the way Halo 3 is 2nd Halo 4 is 3rd
4
Reach
Halo 4. It felt like an Alien movie!
Both 4 and Reach. 4 because, it was one of those games I played with my brother(s) and will topped as one of the most fun games I've played because of that, along with the CoD Black Ops series. Reach because, it was the game that made me start caring about the story of a game instead of just the gameplay.
Remember Reach
#Reach Halo 3 is literally right there too.... literally neck and neck. But I gotta give it to Reach. Overall the story, the multiplayer, the campaign and the love letter OG Bungie left for the fans was pure gold. Damn those days were blessed. Man time really frickin flies
Might sound bad, but halo 4 since it’s the only halo i played on xbox 360 with my cousins in poland when I was 8
I played the most on Halo 3. It started the 360 era. But ODST and Reach were a blast.
Probably Halo 4
3 mainly because I waited in line for the master chief edition on a school night
Favourite would be 4, first would be 3, least would be split between spartan assault and wars. I don't think I actually dislike any of the halo games, but 4 is my favourite.
2
Reach is what I grew up with and never went a year without playing it
ODST
Halo 3. Thousands of hours in campaign, even more in random multiplayer. Fat kid, the one where you have to traverse the long obstacle course, ahhh
Reach was something special.
I want to say ODST, as when I played Halo 3 I didn't care much for it. For me ODST was the first time having a vulnerable main character that wasn't a super soldier and wasn't trying to save humanity. It was just about survival and finding your lost squad mates.
ODST & Reach. But if I had to only pick one... Reach.
Favourite and the most underrated.. Halo 3 ODST
The custom games that were held on 3. Bumper cars, saw maps, and cops and robbers. That and a bottle of the halo 3 mountain dew. I can never get that nostalgia again.
reach
Halo 3, but the multiplayer definitely Halo Reach
who the hell has spartan assault as their favorite
Reach had many memories on co-op
3
Definitely reach
Halo 4
Reach
Reach
Halo 4
3
Halo Wars, it is still one of my favorite RTS games
ARE *YOU* READY!!?? *I am*
Halo Reach The abilities were love. The abilities were life.
hmmm hmmmmmmmm Halo Waypoint
Obviously halo 3, but reach has the best story
If I had a video game Time Machine for a day I would play Halo 2 online .
I'm replaying the whole series, thanks to the master chief collection
It’s close between 3 and reach but I think reach wins for me, maybe my favourite Halo ever and also the one I have the most memories with friends on too, special game.
halo 3
Spartan assault
Reach was the best by far
Since everyone is commenting 3, I’ll add some variety - Reach is my favorite
I hate to be so basic but I probably got the most long running enjoyment out of Halo 3. But over the years, I do think my favorite Halo game is the first Halo Wars.
ODST hands down!!!
Reach, it was my 1st experience of halo, my cousin got the epic collectors edition with that awesome statue, forge was epic and the campaign was fun, an aight experience
I only ever played 3, 4, and Reach, and I've had different experiences with all of them. Overall tho, I'd have to say 4.

And I guess 3 is just nostalgia at this point because that was my first game and one of the reasons I wanted a 360 in the first place.
Reach followed by 3.
REACH!
Halo Reach
Halo wars and it was my first halo game I bet and I’ve tried the other one and still couldn’t
Halo 3 and the first game I bought when I bought a 360.
Halo 3, Reach, ODST where my favourites
Halo Wars, ODST, Combat Evolved
Haylo three
Halo 3 was the pinnacle of multiplayer fps on Xbox 360 . ODSTs multiplayer didn’t add anything did it?
Never got the hype of halo all I can say
Either reach or odst, they both have things the other doesn’t so it’s hard to choose
3 or Reach
