Every Mainline Halo Game Ranked

Missions change. They do. While that’s true, what’s at the heart of the Halo franchise does not change – it’s Master Chief, Cortana, some punchy guns that don’t get old, and a soundtrack that never lets up. Chief and Cortana have traveled the world with their friends Buck and Cortana over many decades. They’ve been to Sanghelios on Earth and Sanghelios in space and aboard exploding rings. But no matter the locale, we were finishing the fight – even when some of those battles were more grueling than others.

Chief wasn’t able to join the battle so Game Informer editors ranked all Halo games, from best to worst. It’s important to note that we opted to rank only the Xbox console FPS Halo games, which means you won’t find mobile, arcade, or RTS spinoffs like Halo Wars or Fireteam Raven in this list. Now, onto the ranking – continue to find out which Halo game finished the fight on top.
