Halo

Halo is a popular Microsoft franchise about a super soldier in a very, very distant future.

Have you played any games from this series before, and if so, what did you think of them?

I have played most games from the Halo series, except for Halo: Spartan Strike and I absolutely love the series. I've even started to read the books.

To be fair I only played the first three. The second was my most preferred ,but other that not to rain on anyone's parade I kind of stopped at Halo 3 and I said that was it for me.

Yeah I was the same way. I played Halo 1-3, Reach and later 4. I stopped being impressed after Halo 2, I don't hold too much reverence in the series now that there are other FPS games to play.

I've only ever played Halo 2 and that was at a friend's place... (We played that co-op their xbox.)
It was a pretty good game though I didn't find it amazingly revolutionary. To me it just did a lot of things well. (It was a good looking game with good physics, relatively few major bugs and a really good soundtrack.)

I was interested in Halo 3. But not interested enough to buy an xbox 360 for just it. (And especially not during the time where the red ring of death was a very real issue.) Even now I wouldn't bother buying an xbox just for Halo. I have enough to play for the foreseeable future that I can live without it.

Halo 3 was definitely one of my favorite games of all time. The multiplayer was amazing. The ranking system was unique. I spent hours playing the co-op campaign. Honestly I think it's the only game to really make a good co-op campaign.
