What would you score each Halo titled with Giantbomb's one to 5 stars rating system? 
 
Here's what I would score them: 
 

• Halo Combat Evolved: 5 out of 5 Stars 
• Halo 2: 5 out of 5 Stars
• Halo 3: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
• Halo Wars: 3 Stars
• Halo 3 ODST: 3.5 Stars (Better single-player than Halo 3 though) 

I never saw what was so special about them in the first place. 3* I guess.

I think this thread has been done before.
 
Halo CE: 5
Halo 2: 4
Halo 3: 5
Halo Wars: Haven't played it
ODST: 3.5

Of the Halos I've played and beaten:
 
Halo 1: 3 stars 
Halo 3: 3 stars

Halo Combat Evolved: 5 
Halo 2: 3
Halo 3: 2 
Haven't played the rest...to be fair I gave up on Halo 3 after a couple of hours. I hated what they did in 2, and hoped they'd fixed it in 3...but they didn't.

Halo: CE 5
Halo 2: 4
Halo 3: 4
Halo 3: ODST 3

Halo 2 - 4 stars
Halo 3 - 5 stars 
Halo Wars - 2 stars 
Halo 3 ODST - 4 stars

  Halo 3 ODST: 3.5 Stars (Better single-player than Halo 3 though) -

  Really. I always thought there was a lack of variety in the levels, plus no battle rifle ;(

I'll going to be the honest one here and say that while I don't enjoy the Halo series all that much--too slow paced for myself, mutliplayer speaking--they're great games. Two was definitely the weak point but the multiplayer was amazing; why else would people spend a month leaving that game on idle after the Xbox Live service was gone? ODST though...meh.

honestly i give 3.5 to all halo, i cant see something special just a good game

  I have nothing against you for not being a Halo fan, but I thought I could show you a video that could make you understand Halo's appeal and why it's popular. Not that I'm trying to persuade your opinion directly on the video games that is. "

I love that this video begins with an acronym guide for non-gamers, because of all of the non-gamers who will see something called "Halo retrospective" and say, "I don't care anything about videogames, but FUCK YES do I want to watch this! "

" @Spartan14003:  *deep breath* Dual wielding ruined the game for me Removal of the pistol God awful storyline More importance given to Multiplayer over single player Battle rifle was awful Controls didn't feel as tight AI wasn't as, entertaining for me. Final battle against the brute with the hammer cliffhanger ending It really really put me off the series as a whole. All personal opinons, but thats what i thought.

Halo CE: 4.5/5 
Halo 3: 4/5 
Halo ODST: 4.5  
 
I actually really liked ODST, but I did get it for a quarter of its original price, I think £30 would have been something that I would have been more comfortable to pay for on day one.

Halo 1: 5
Halo 2: 3
Halo 3: 5
Halo Wars: 2
Halo ODST: 3

Halo: Combat Evolved - 5 stars
Halo 2 - 4 stars (Only because I thought the campaign was weak. Still, it has my all-time favorite multiplayer)
Halo 3 - 4 stars 
Halo: ODST - 3 stars (The campaign was alright, but all in all, it wasn't a great game)
 
And if I was to review the beta of Halo: Reach...
Halo: Reach - 3 stars (Downgrade in most ways. I thought the gameplay was butchered quite a bit and I hope for big changes)

CE:5 
H2:4.5 
H3:5 
ODST:4 
Halo Wars: 3.5 
 
I didn't like the sp in H2 near as much as CE, but the mp was sooo ground breaking it has to get at least a 4.5. 
Reach should be good, but the masterpiece that was CE, at least sp wise, will never be reached again I fear.  Lol at teh unintentional puny.

• Halo Combat Evolved: 5
  
• Halo 2: 2  (great music, that's it)
  
• Halo 3: 4
  
• Halo 3 ODST: 3 Stars
  

2.3 for all of them out of five

I can't ever get into halo and i have played it for while, I got up to like 35 or something before I couldn't take it anymore.  I've never been into the fiction so the story does nothing for me.  The online is where it falls apart for me because I really can't stand the community and those who play it.  It's ok when your with friends and the music is good, but I feel that it is extremely over hyped and for some reason to the fan boys its like a sin to bash on it.

I don't really feel like rating them at the moment, but the multiplayer was always the draw for me. I can't stand most games like MW2 because, if they see you before you see them: instant death, and vice versa. In the Halo games, you have a chance to fight back against your attacker most of the time.

This exact thread exists. I remember posting in it.

I'd give Halo 3 a 3.5 simply because the theater and forge features are so cool. The multiplayer was rather bland compared to CoD4, which is the other game I was really into when I was really into Halo 3.

Halo: 5 
Halo 2: 3 
Halo 3: 2.5 
Halo Wars: 4 (underrated) 
Halo ODST: 1 Ridiculously terrible value, and I couldn't even finish it because the campaign was so god-awful boring.

Never played a Halo game. I don't dislike it, it's just never appealed to me.

Halo - 3 
Halo 2 - 4 
Halo 3 - 4.5  
Halo ODST - 3 
 
never played halo wars. it's on my list to play though. 

 I really like all of them but if I had to rate them it would be like this:

CE: 4 or 4.5 - The fact that half way through the game you basically turn around and replay all the levels over again was cheap and lazy no matter what way you cut it. 
Halo 2: 5 - I played the campaign to death in this game well over 20 times and spent quite awhile playing splitscreen with my brothers (no LIVE at the time) and it was great.
Halo 3: 5 - I spent hours and hours playing online with friends in matchmaking and this game had a great campaign.
Halo ODST: 3 or 4 - An overall OK story with nice changes to normal Halo along with Firefight which was awesome, but some serious issues with faces,animation and plot holes.
  
That would be how I would rate them but like I said I think they are all good games and I enjoyed everyone of them and I have yet to buy Halo Wars.

Halo 2 holds up well, but CE doesn't at all. I don't know what I'd rate them, but I'd say from 2 on they have the best console multiplayer of any shooting game.

The difference between Halo and Modern Warfare 2, is that Halo is a very well balanced game and Modern Warfare 2's is horribly unbalanced. I'm not a Call of Duty hater by any means, all the Call of Duty games (Apart from 3 and the ones for the PS2) before Modern Warfare 2, are great games. "

You seem to have misinterpreted it, I never mean that the gameplay realistic. I'm referring to the setting.  "

How is this related to the subject in anyway? Is this another cheap stab at the Halo fanatics again? "
