IGN: "It will be 20 years until Master Chief becomes the go-to Spartan for Covenant-baiting, and we're in an age long before crouching nervously behind rocks while your shield recharges has been fully embraced. Yet one of the greatest achievements of Halo Wars, of which there are two, is that - despite its top-down strategic tendencies and its non-Bungie (and dearly departed) developer - the whole affair is covered in thick layers of musky UNSC-scent. The grunts quibble, scream and whine. Warthogs bounce in a cheerily familiar way. Explosions are meaty and frequently blue. The storyline is mystical and slightly wonky, yet delivered in stunningly-rendered CG cut-scenes. In fact, the only thing missing is a command to make your Spartan warriors repeatedly crouch on each others' faces."
Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.
I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.
Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
Since debuting on the original Xbox, the amount of games released means it's no easy task to rank the best and worst Halo games.
I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.
Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!
I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
Hm,pretty good.
.
It looks like a Giant Enemy Crab!
8.2 = flop
Wish this would come to PC someday
