That being said, it's shortcomings didn't stop it being enjoyable and it isn't a bad game, it's just that there are quite a few better Halo games out there.
#Halo 1 game record series#
This is the first main series Halo on Xbox One and it had so much potential but ended up feeling a bit confused and perhaps tried a bit too hard in places. On top of all this, Halo finally got iron sights, although this change ended up dividing the fanbase massively. Then there's the characters… Master Chief isn't the only protagonist as players get to play with a Spartan called Locke and Cortana acts like the bad guy for a while but then isn't really. The campaign is definitely more enjoyable when you play it with friends rather than on your own, primarily because most of the bosses can only be attacked from behind so you need multiple players to flank them. With that being said, it does have some shortcomings.
7) Halo 5: Guardiansĭespite what you're about to read - "Halo 5: Guardians" isn't actually a bad game. It also introduced the Banished, who are the main villains in Halo Infinite, so we have that to thank it for too. Like we said at the top of this article, there aren't any bad games in this franchise and this certainly isn't a bad game, it's just there are far more enjoyable Halo games out there. Splitting up parts of your army allows players to get into even more alien battles, the main story of the game is surprisingly good and some of the cinematics and cutscenes are just a joy to watch. In the game's defence, it is a real-time strategy game that is comfortable to play on a controller, and it did evolve some features (for the better) from the first game. With that in mind, "Halo Wars 2" picks up from where the first one left off: a decent game which was fun to play for a bit and offered a different way of playing Halo games. We got a Halo real-time strategy game whether we liked it or not and it was fine, did we need a follow up? Not particularly. While these games are enjoyable for a bit, they're both fairly forgettable entries into the Halo franchise. The story largely revolves around Covenant factions seeking an artefact and Humans trying to stop that. Halo Spartan Strike takes place firstly during the events of "Halo 2" and then secondly after the events of Halo 4. A splinter group of the Covenant ignores the ceasefire and players play as super soldiers who repel the attacks. Halo: Spartan Assault takes place between the events of "Halo 3" and "Halo 4" and sees a ceasefire between human and alien Elites. Both games are enjoyable twin-stick shooters, but nothing to shout about. The reason we've bunched them together is because they're very similar games and they had just about the same impact on the series as each other, minimal. To say any Halo game is the worst might come across a little harsh as there aren't any bad ones, but "Halo: Spartan Assault" and "Halo: Spartan Strike" take the last place slot in our eyes. Before we get started, a quick note - we're not covering the Anniversary remakes as separate entries, and we're not counting the Master Chief Collection as its own entry either - these are just new ways to play existing games. With that in mind, in anticipation of the new release (and because this was a lot of fun) we've decided to take a look back at the franchise's history to separate the Elites from the Grunts. It could be one of the biggest and best Halo games yet, which is saying something as there have been some pretty amazing Halo games so far. With it being the first new Halo game on Xbox Series X/S, Infinite has the potential to give us great graphics, new guns and unbelievable multiplayer. Halo: Infinite will see the return of Master Chief, the hero and protagonist of the main series, and will follow on from the events of Halo 5: Guardians, which was released in 2015. Halo is without a doubt one of the most iconic gaming franchises to date and the newest addition, Halo: Infinite will be released on December 8 this year.
