Halo4 gets flack because the Prometheans are bullet sponges and not much else. Its not about the level variety for me or the story that makes it dull, its the AI and how fun they are to fight. Theyre just not any fun to fight against. Story is good though, but why would anyone wanna go back if the AI isnt fun to battle against?
Thats why i still love CE. The AI on Heroic is fucking perfect. Add to that the fact that you have a shield AND health and its the perfect battle system. You have enough health to charge and do lots of damage and you can still take a beating without dying. In Halo2, you die within seconds because all you have is an over-shield that depletes within seconds. Thats not fun! I understand the better armor bullshit and lore but god damn, games ultimately should be fun. I never liked how they removed the health packs from halo. I find it just hurt its gameplay and its one of the best parts of reach and ODST.
Just look at what all the good halo games have in common, they all have health packs that ultimately allow you to take more damage without having to hide every 3 fucking seconds. That and fun to fight AI.

Always CE at number 1 for me.
CE > 3 > reach > odst > 4 > 2
Halo 2 had fantastic music, better weapons, vehicles and locations but the actual mission design and flood ruin the game for me.

I agree with this. 5 will no doubt be taking my top spot in two weeks
Are you sure those aren't in reverse order?

Playing 5 will prove it true or it won't, but from everything I've seen from the campaign and the MP, it looks like 5 will take the top spot in both for me.
Haha nope.

The story in Halo 5 already looks to be pretty weak and hard to follow, however. Just from the first few campaign missions we've had spoiled.
The action, on the other hand, looks to be some of the best of the series. Fingers crossed they find a way to top or at least match double Scarab.

There is a ton of exposition between the teams in the missions. I had to watch the no-commentary ones to really pick up on all the details, but it goes pretty in-depth about what's going on/what went on in the Halo universe.

I couldnt agree more, H4 has the best shooting in the series by far but it was plagued by so many poor decisions like loadouts, orbital drops, and just poor map design.
The way it's done in MCC is fantastic and I would play it more if it didnt have some OP and downright game breaking loadout perks like the Promethean vision

It actually makes perfect sense to use 2 distinct squads seeing as Halo 2 had the BEST Halo game story thus far thanks to them being able to flesh out a story from 2 sides at once. It just a lackluster job with mission and level design, as well as some enemy design.
4 was a dumpster fire, sooooo...

Adrift. 2012. Pick anything other than Boltshot and Promethean Vision.

Correct.
Also correct...but they fixed it to the point where it was no longer a dumpster fire. Has the best gameplay in the series, just all the extra added bullshit brought it down. However, Legendary Slayer is fucking incredible. BR starts, no AAs, wonderful.
Filthy Pro Vision... I've never used it and never will. Same goes for the PP/BR combo in H2...I have one rule, if I get it used on me, I will use it on you. If it never happens, then everyone is happier for it.

True. Halo 4, in 2012, on the Xbox 360, with ordinance and loadouts, is what he means. Not in 2015 in the MCC where they made it much better.
Gotta make the distinction between Halo 4 and MCC Halo 4 clear.
I mean, the community spoke, and basically nothing from 4 is carrying over.
