Best Halo Campaigns in History

5. Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite's campaign may be flawed, but its open-world is an absolute joy. This is an incredible experience, especially after the disappointment of Halo 5: Guardians, and provides plenty of content for you to go out and enjoy. Now, yes, the story here isn't completely on-point, and there are a few lackluster sections, but for the most part, Halo Infinite is an absolute blast.

4. Halo Combat Evolved

The original Halo was ground-breaking for its time and set up the two decades of shooters that would succeed it. This remarkable adventure throughout our first-ever Halo ring held some of the best – and some of the worst – missions in Halo's extensive history. There is really nothing else to say, to be honest, Halo Combat Evolved is a little dated now – and its story-telling is a little messy – but it is a joy to play even twenty years after it first released. | © Bungie

3. Halo 3

Halo 3 was the first Halo title to drop on the Xbox 360, and was an instant classic. Finishing up Master Chief's first trilogy of games (the original story), it took us through a finale that was an absolute joy to play. Chief's story ended in a sublime and satisfying way that 343 Industries failed to replicate a few years later, and the campaign was filled with iconic moments and absolutely stellar levels. | © Bungie

2. Halo 2

Halo 2 has that fantastic city mission, Metropolis. Try to get a Warthog through the whole map. It's possible, we've done it. More importantly, though, is that Halo 2 tells a remarkable story (that does, admittedly, have a pretty bad ending) and has some of the most iconic missions and moments in the Halo franchise. It is unbelievably fun, unbelievably entertaining, and would be unparalleled if not for our number one choice. Oh, and it introduced dual-wielding! | © Bungie

1. Halo Reach

Wanna fight me, mate? Wanna fight? Nah, man, look: Halo Reach is one of the most rewarding and best games in the series. It had some of the game's best multiplayer, an incredible Forge Mode, the iconic Firefight Mode, and a campaign that blew everything that had come before it out of the water. Following a team of elite Spartans during the fall of Reach is exhilarating, and an absolute joy. This is a must-play! | © Bungie

Halo Infinite is here, and has established the next chapter of Halo's history. The Master Chief is back, and though it wasn't his best entry to-date, it was certainly a step up over Halo 5: Guardians. We love the game, but how does it stack-up against its predecessors. Thus, we present you with a question: which Halo campaign is the best? Well, you might disagree with me... particularly due to a few questionable opinions I hold, but I'm going to take you on a little journey. That journey? From Infinity, all the way back to the days of Combat Evolved...
