Daily Q: What is your favorite Halo franchise moment?
Category: Features, Posted: 05/19/2008 at 12:09PM CDT by Creighton DeSimone, Staff Writer
Halo is a powerful franchise. It is probably the most powerful franchise to have debuted in the past 7 years. Last September when Halo 3 launched no other games came out for a week before or a week after in fear of being overlooked. Some even believe that Halo is the only reason the Xbox brand still exists. Now that is power.
While the multiplayer is where the majority of the fan base spends their time these days, we shouldn't overlook the amazing single-player experience Bungie crafted. Religious themes, action packed scenarios and characters you really care about are all tied into the campaign. With that said:
Within its single player mode, what is your favorite Halo moment?
I really want to hear story elements or encounters which have always left a memorable impression and given you a reason to go back to the world of Master Chief. The moment I keep thinking back to is from Halo 2, when Master Chief opens the door of the cargo bay and lets the bomb fly out of the ship and then grabs onto it and rides it towards the Covenant capital ship, letting it blow up inside as he makes his escape. It was crazy. That solidified me as a Halo fan.

people play the single player mode? I always tried, but once the Flood came in, I lost interest. The end of Halo 3 was really good. When you are in the warthog driving around the breaking up Halo.
This may be colored by the fact that it's the most recent, but I have to agree that Halo 3's ending warthog sequence was great.
My favorites are always ones that inevitably surface from the combination of a great engine and multiplayer gameplay.
The entire second level of Halo 2. We finally got to Earth, got to use all the rad new weapons in awesome urban environments, got our daily dose of Hunters, and got to use almost every weapon in the Halo arsenal. We got an awesome opening cinematic that followed the group of Marine Pelicans down to the combat zone, and we got to see the action unfold as we came down in a flaming craft. Plus, there was an invincible Warthog in that level! It was everything I ever wanted!
But then my hopes and dreams were crushed, because we went right back to fighting on a mysterious ring world with the deadly Flood. Way to go, new and original story twist.
the part where it ended
Toward the end of Halo 3 when I finally had the chance to fly a hornet. After a few minutes, it was back to the ground. Also, the spartan laser was a treat.
