Let's discuss how YOU feel about each halo game

It seems, there is a lot of bandwagoning in the Halo community. I want anyone who sees this to comment what your actual opinions are of each Halo game, not including the side game like wars. If you don't go over all the games, please at least go over reach. I'll Start with mine.

Halo CE: Great game for its time, but it's kinda shitty now gameplay wise. However, it was before my time. When I did finally play it, I thought the story was great, that's where my Halo 1 experience ends. I didn't even really like when it came up in the Halo MMC map rotation.

Halo 2: Amazing story and multiplayer. I watched my uncle play it all the time. When I was around 8 or 9 I finally played the campaign, and loved it. I didn't ever really play the multiplayer until MCC, but I can see why everyone thought it was so good.

Halo 3: Hands down one of the best games in the series. I would play the campaign and splitscreen multiplayer with my friends for hours on end. There's not much else to say about it, because there was really nothing bad about 3.

Halo Reach: Probably my favourite Halo game, and here's where I want to hear from you guys. I feel like reach was one of the best games in the series. The only difference I can see between it and the classic halo experience is the armour abilities. Even those didn't actually ruin anything in the game, but they made it feel like I was being an actual super soldier. Why wouldn't a spartan be able to run? I didn't get XBL until reach was out, and I ended up having over 30 days played on it. (Probably more on halo 3, but I couldn't track that). Custom games were probably at their peak in reach, not that I would know because I didn't have XBL during Halo 3. Forge world was great, and people are still demanding it for halo 5. Bottom line for reach, is that it was not bad. It had the most content that any halo game has had, Invasion was great, firefight was amazing, and best of all, everything worked. There's too many good things for me to say about reach, but I feel like the responses to this will just shoot them all down.

Halo 4: Great story, tons of emotion from chief and cortana. It really made me feel like chief was still a human. Lots of uproar about the multiplayer, which was pretty similar to reach actually. I think halo 4 was just a reason for people to hate 343.

Halo 5: We all know halo 5's story was mediocre. However, it is there just to be the middle of a trilogy. The multiplay gameplay wise is very good, but there are tons of features that should be there, but aren't. Basically, I feel like they should never take weapons or vehicles out of the games, but just keep adding new ones in each game. A lot of the vehicles in halo 5 look funny for no reason, and firefight warzone sounds like it will be a clusterfuck. What happened to 4 man co-op fight till you die? Also, it sounds like there will be no private firefight matches, and there will always be 8 people in the match. I don't even have 8 friends who play halo, but I guess that's my problem. Halo ODST had a great firefight, but once again, Reach made it an amazing gametype.

Edit: Changed 1 to CE
