1. Halo:CE/CEA
2. Halo 3 ODST
In terms of usability, either 3 or Reach. Active Roster is impressively nice, but so was the ability to switch lobbies without being dragged back to the main menu. I'm also a fan of CEA being able to switch between the Classic and Anniversary graphics even in the menu. But CEA suffers from the UI being incredibly twitchy.
Reach's.
Reach. It changes too!
Halo CE because Fusion Frenzy.
2. More simple, down-to-business, and has a killer start menu soundtrack to boot.

Menu music, slowly rotating views of new Mombasa and the cruiser.
I also loved the H3 beta menu, the slow fly through of Valhalla.
Halo 4 hype renewed.
My favorite menu was most likely ODST's. There was just something about Reach's that irked me...
But Halo 3 has the best music, in my opinion.

Agreed! ODST comes second I think.
I do like the reach opening, halo 3 was awesome, can't really remember halo 1's.
Some of this Olympics music is awesome, why do they keep getting weird people to do the covers though?

Did you try to convince everyone that there is a new trailer out there? I am sorry to crash your plans.
TheOddOne or some other junior pointed that already out. I like it. I hope it is not temporary. This whole thing could be an awesome Master Chief statue. Damn. I want it.I was re-watching the Rooster Teeth Expo Wrap Up and I noticed this:

Possible start screen? Cortana is animated.

Yesterday I played through CEA with a friend(like I said yesterday) and I watched the Terminals again. There I noticed that they are using already the new UNSC Ship design in Keyes Terminal.
Oh crap. I am going to watch. The whole commentary stuff sounds like a lot of fun. If it is great, I hope they will do it again with Halo 3, ODST, Reach, Anniversary or 4.
I like the menu in Reach the most because it looks good, the backgrounds change, and because I was getting tired of the blue color schemes that were in the first few games. Looks like 343 went back to it unfortunately. Maybe it won't be so tiresome to look at (at least in the near future) because Reach broke the cycle and gave it a rest for a while.
Wow that's hot!I was re-watching the Rooster Teeth Expo Wrap Up and I noticed this:

The grainy 2d background in Reach even though it looked good, felt very lazy and I missed the epic 3d ones from the previous games.
I was just about say this, I loved the background music on the Halo 3 mythic disc.

halo 3 mythic was my favorite.
reach was nice but too many submenus (fucking fileshare)
odst was pretty good too

That is uber cool, and the backgrounds for Reach are amazing. It's too bad that once you unlock each new background based on your campaign progress there wasn't a menu option to pick from the ones you've unlocked. Dat New Alexandria one!
Also, big shout out to the menu music for Halo 2, so good.

Now i miss high ground.
I loved this map.. Shocked to see how many people actually didn't care for it on forums ;[
That Fusion Frenzy demo saw many hours from me lol - The bumper cars minigame and the spiral tower were my favorites.

Is Cortana blowing back a kiss to MC or teasing her tail feather?

i think the problem with high grounds were the shitty spawns and the br that couldnt shoot straight. was a good social map but hated getting it in ranked. 1 flag was pretty awesome on that map.
High Grounds was pure one sided objective map, plain and simple.
One sided VIP, One Bomb, One Flag, heck even one sided Territories worked well on the map. As long as they had BR starts.
Also, had some issues with spawns (like the rest of Halo 3) and the laser was an overkill on the map, making the Ghosts somewhat pointless, along with the heavy machine gun.
IIRC, the original version had a Warthog, would have been nice to retain that... with some tweaks to weapon choices.
Regardless, one of my favorite maps in Halo 3.
It's a toss up between Halo CE and Halo 2.
Will we ever get to see what our secondary weapon from our HUD?
And does anyone else think Jeff Steitzer's announcements sound too rushed and cheesy? For instance the new killjoy announcement. Getting a killjoy in 3/Reach was so rewarding due to the sound of the announcement. Now it just sounds like anything else...

Play better so they won't get on a killing spree and you don't have to worry about that one.
They're....okay. They definitely sound different, but I don't really know how I feel about them yet.

Lets unfortunately talk about something that makes me a sad
I always wear "chief" armor during MP
Specifically Mk V will always be my first choice
but then I saw this tweet awhile back...
This is unforgivable.
Not to blow it out of proportion, but the proportions could not be any larger.
This is such a huge negative for me, I really truly hope he was either misinformed or it wasnt finalized.
Do yall like using the Mk series helmets or do you more often stray and go with another series?

I noticed that happening in one of the SP screens also.
Maybe they turned it off temporarily to avoid revealing different weapons that they do intend to show yet.

Wait...wtf?
Are they serious? I mean I understand canonizing MP, but it shouldn't hold back things like this. Let the MP designs flow free, base em off cannon and non cannon designs.. Anyways MCs armor is not exclusive to him, so I really don't know why we couldn't wear it. I hope they have since reconsidered that..
Also, I would love to see concept MC designs make it into the game as MP armor:

How is getting a killjoy rewarding? Killing spree yes. But a Killjoy? Killjoy is one of these random medals, you ever can get in Halo. Except you paid attention to the small text etc. But who does that?
I use ODST 99% of the time. I don't know, I just love the way the ODST armor looks.
