snide you could really benefit from adding "imo" or "i think" to your posts lmao

Yes, but reiterating it makes your statements come off less "i'm right, you're wrong"-ish.

Forgot to add reach to my ranking. Idk it's around ODST maybe.

I really liked ODST too snide. The flashback timeline and bit of clue gathering was cool.

ODST is the only Halo game besides 4 that had decent characters imo. Reach's characters were dull as fuck.

Are you talking about reach or odst?

I don't think the characters were dull so much as people weren't so invested immediately. 3 games with chief makes you care but throw a half dozen new people in the mix and most people won't latch on quickly. I liked them well enough however. If they were included for two games or more, or conversely just a longer game people might not say they were so dull.

same case for reach

I like how ODST can be 3 hours long if you rush it but it can also be 15 or more if you take your time and explore.

"ODST is the only Halo game besides 4 that had decent characters imo"

odst did what most current games do when making characters: he'll be the funny guy, he'll be the by-the-book sgt, she'll be the mysterious agent, he'll be the rookie that saves the day, etc.

Its always cookie-cutter characters with extremely overblown cliches. I'd rather have characters like Johnson or Miranda from the original trilogy who are just normal people with believable personalities who come off as boring because realistically, who the fuck are they trying to impress?

Johnson? Boring? U FUCKIN WUT M8

"Its always cookie-cutter characters with extremely overblown cliches."

"I'd rather have characters like Johnson or Miranda"

dude WOT those are both cookie-cutter characters with extremely overblown cliches

I worded that kinda wrong cause Johnson was the fucking man, I meant he doesn't try to make some stupid joke every time he has dialogue like they had some of the characters do in ODST but when he does crack one off its ace

"please, don't shake the light bulb"

Damn. Ten pages. This was easily my least favorite Halo game.

"I DONT CARE IF ITS SOME SORT OF GIANT ALIEN HULLA HOOP OR GOD'S OWN ANTI- SON-OF-A-BITCH MACHINE!"

1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > Reach > Wars > ODST

If we're being perfectly accurate and honest the only really fleshed out characters are chief and cortana. It's a shooter, this isn't A+ storytelling but it's solid.

Bang on, if you're expecting great story from Halo you're doing it wrong. The online play is where it's at but despite that ODST was my favourite Halo campaign due to the soundtrack, it's atmosphere roaming around in the streets and it's more humanistic feel (which Reach botched hard).

Yeah. Even Chief and Cortana aren't exactly deeply affecting characters. Even when I was 13, they weren't anything all that special. Fun as hell games though.

The cutscenes in Halo were always awesome

I'll admit this: I thought the arbiter was a great character and loved the entire halo 2 campaign
