lol exactly. I sometimes miss those college days in the dorm when I could just veg out in front of my 19" CRT and play Halo all day. But I do anticipate finishing Halo 4 with more games than Reach...

SMG+PR combo before the last patch was just beastly.
Halo 2's worst feature was dual wielding, and emphasis was taken away in Halo 3 so much that it was useless.

I loved Halo 2, and had the most fun on it because of the fresh XBL experience. But CE hands down is the best game

Halo 3 equipment stuff:
Equipment sucked in competitive play and I never played with them on in customs but in Social they where fairly fun.
Just playing Social Slayer today, Team BR's Narrows. I was fighting a guy under bridge and people must have been fighting above. The dude got rockets, jumped up and just as I saw my life flash before my eyes a bubble shield was activated upstairs. The guy ended up jumping into the bit of it under the bridge at the same moment he sent the rocket off killing himself.
It was pretty funny.
There have been a few times when peices of equipment like the grav lift made for a pretty fun entrance to a base or whatever. I hate jetpack, but a one time only extra jump is fine by me. I mean Equipment was one time use, telegraphed on the map and could be fought for and timed - they could not be predicted when they where used which was stupid, but for all intents and purposes you could plan ahead and control them. Some of the equipment was obnoxious like the Power Drain, but for the most part they impacted the person using it in the same way as they impacted you. They changed the battlefield but for the most part they didnt give the guy using them an immediate over the top advantage.
I cant think of a time I have seen a AA been used and laughed or saw anything interesting come of it. They feel so pedestrian in comparison to Equipment, which despite being as anti-competitive - still added fun in the right modes. AA's are also totally random and impact the game constantly.
In an ideal world I would have neither, or only have equipment and relegate it to BTB.

I see there are still a few people all full of u mad about CE being the best game.
Just spilling over with u mad.
By ODST MP do you mean firefight? Wondering how ODST and Halo 3 MP take 2 drastically different spots in your list.
Yes, Firefight. It still counts, but for obvious reasons (i.e. content, recycling content) it's at the bottom, and many choose to disclude it from their lists entirely.
Though even my co-op rankings would be similar, although I haven't had a chance to play Halo 4 co-op yet.

Huh? So you actually prefer grainy filters, overdone fog efffects, nausea inducing motion blur, and dull colors in your Halo?
Terrible campaign with the exception of a couple missions (Regret was amazing, but I think most people wouldn't even agree with me there), flat out broken multiplayer that felt clunky and glitchy as all hell, HORRIBLE muddy graphics, the worst UI until Halo 4 came around, aaaaaand...yeah that about sums it up for me.
Like I said though, good maps but wasted on broken multiplayer.
Oh, and fuck SMG's. Fuck them in the nose.
Yup.

let me join in,
best mp:
2 >>> 3 > 4 >>>>>> reach (never played ce)
2 was easily the best. too bad i got in late and was a noob (loved rocking the dual smgs over the br)
best sp
ce > 2 > odst > 4 > 3 > reach
3 had really good encounters but story disappointed me immensly. reach was horrible framerate problems.

SP - Halo CE > Halo 3 > ODST > Halo 2 > Reach > Halo 4
MP - Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo CE > Reach > Halo 4
if Halo 4 had no instant respawns, static weapon spawns, and descope instead of flinch it would pass Reach

If anything, re-releasing it with a new coat of paint just reminded people how damn good it still is.
Heh. I love the hell out of the encounters in Halo 3, and the scale. But its missing elites, I can't stand dual wielding, equipment was weirdly implemented (but interesting), and I've never been a fan of the BR, Carbine or Brute Shot. Throw in jaggies and it loses points.
That stuff all told is part of the reason I dig Reach so much. No dual wielding, elites AND brutes and only a tiny few drones ;P But if you take all the extra bits out of it and leave only the very bare bones Halo where everything just works together and any further cuts would hurt, you'd have CE. Slap Reach graphical polish on it and remastered audio and you still have one of the best shooters this gen.

Campaign:
Halo 3
Halo 4
Reach
Halo 1
ODST
Halo 2
Did not enjoy Halo 2's campaign much at all. It felt disjointed, haphazard, and just a mess overall. Halo 3 had the best set pieces out of the series, and I didn't really like the open world style of ODST. I'm just not an open world guy I guess. It only really works for me in Fallout 3/New Vegas.
Multiplayer:
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 1/Halo 4
Reach
If Halo 4 starts getting better maps, I think it'll move up past Halo CE. As much as I love CE, thinking back on it, I only ever played 3-4 maps on it. Sidewinder(my all time favorite map ever), Blood Gulch, Battle Creek, and maybe one or two more I can't think of. Halo 2 was the most glorious days of Multiplayer gaming ever.

Lists, lists everywhere.
If Halo 5 isn't anything better then Halo 4/ Halo Reach, I'm done with the Halo series, just like I'm done with Gears of War.
Whoever thought it was funny to make camo snipe and/or Boltshot possible for the whole time, didn't knew, what he was doing. Smh, at those who hate it, but are still doing it.

In that case, why not throw in my 2 cents:
SP:
Halo 2 (Did the most to advance the story)
CE
Halo 4
Halo 3
ODST
Reach
MP:
Halo 2 (It had it's fair share of issues, but it was just fun)
Halo 4
CE
Halo 3

The 13 or so people who are upset about Slayer Pro being removed are the only people who actually played it. Fuck that playlist. At least it will come back and be functional this time.

yes on all except the motion blur (grain filter optional, don't care about that either way)
Reach also had: best particle effects, best animations, best textures, best AA (well, on par with 4), best skyboxes, best textures
Most of the graphics stuff except for lighting and water peaked in reach (possibly polycount is higher as well in halo 4?)
