Video Game Franchises

If it weren&rsquo;t for the best Halo games, the Xbox consoles wouldn&rsquo;t be the critical hits they are now. The original Halo: Combat Evolved&nbsp;was a masterpiece that helped make multiplayer first-person shooters popular on consoles. In addition, the Halo storyline is a triumph of science fiction, spawning multiple <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/video-games-that-should-be-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">movies</a> and novels. But not all Halo games were made equal, so fans have ranked them from best to worst.

Who can forget that first breathtaking view of the Halo ringworld from the first Halo game? Right after Master Chief ejects from the Pillar of Autumn in an escape pod. Speaking of characters, the Halo franchise has some of the most memorable <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-badass-video-game-heroes-of-all-time">protagonists</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-video-game-villains/loganrapp">antagonists</a> in gaming history. In fact, a few of them are well-known even to non-gamers. Case in point, Microsoft went on to use the Cortana name for the popular Windows 10 search feature.

So be sure to join the discussion and vote up your favorite Halo games from over the years. This list of the best Halo games is here to let people know which are the ones they have to play and which ones can be skipped.

The Halo franchise has become one of the biggest in gaming over the past two decades. Halo: Combat Evolved effectively launched the original Xbox console for Microsoft and set the tone for first-person shooters on consoles in a way that had not been done since GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64. Most fans of the series, however, are&nbsp;probably be unaware of the fascinating Halo&nbsp;universe facts that exist outside of the basic Halo plot. &nbsp;The series has grown to encompass all forms of media outside of gaming, thanks to its huge fanbase and popularity. While hardcore players might be aware of the&nbsp;novels, television shows, and comics that provide extra material to enjoy, most will probably not even be aware that they exist. There are plenty of things about the Halo universe story that many&nbsp;fans will not know, and some&nbsp;trivia that may surprise even the most dedicated Halo&nbsp;players.

Gaming

A list of the worst Halo characters ever developed, as ranked by the gamers who've played as the Master Chief for years. The Halo games have no shortage of characters. Yeah, the hero is a super-soldier who doesn't talk much, but he has plenty of friends and enemies. Some of them just aren't very good characters, however. Sometimes it's their voices. Sometimes it's the writing. And sometimes, well, they're just awful in ways you can't really put your finger on.&nbsp;This list is filled with <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-badass-video-game-heroes-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">video game characters</a> that have, over the course of the series, annoyed the heck out of us. They're out of touch with the game, they don't really advance the plot, they talk too much, or they just get in the way. From villains to &quot;helpful&quot; friends, we've gone through the Halo universe and identified the characters who try our patience and are downright annoying.Religious fanatics, a Forerunner AI, and people who are just plain bad at their jobs all appear on this list. Vote up the Halo characters who have frustrated you the most and be sure to add any that we may have missed!

John Cena

Master Chief, the protagonist of Bungie's&nbsp;fictional Halo universe, is a man of few words - the Master Chief prefers to be&nbsp;a man of action. His real name is John-117, and he's a &quot;Spartan-II&quot; commando of the UNSC Naval&nbsp;Special Warfare Unit who fought during the Human-Covenant war. He also delivers all his deadpan&nbsp;one-liners&nbsp;right after doing something epic, like sending the Covenant their bomb back, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-badass-video-game-heroes-of-all-time">solidifying his status as a badass</a>.There have been countless talks of creating a live-action Halo film, finally bringing Master Chief to the silver screen, but they've all gone bust. Who are the&nbsp;best actors to play a live-action Master Chief,&nbsp;qualified enough to fill the role of a 6'10&quot;, 290-pound space marine from the future? Should it be someone <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/darkseid-fantasy-casting/jason-robbins">dark and mysterious</a>, or someone <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/eren-jaeger-fantasy-casting/nida-sea">young and charming</a>? Feel free to add any actors that aren't listed here who would rock a battle rifle. It's a big suit to fill, so they better be up to Cortana's standards.

Master Chief

John-117 "Master Chief" is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Halo fictional universe, created by Bungie. Master Chief is a playable character in the series of science fiction first-person shooter video games: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. Outside of video games, the character appears in novels – Halo: The Fall of Reach, Halo: The Flood, Halo: First Strike, and Halo: Uprising – and has cameos in other Halo media, including Halo: Reach, Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, The Halo Graphic Novel, Halo Legends and Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
Master Chief is essentially the face of the Halo series. The character, as he appears in the double story arcs, can be described as a towering and faceless cybernetically-enhanced supersoldier; save for the first installment of the second story arc, he is never seen without his green-colored armor and helmet. The alias "Master Chief" arises from the two ranks which John holds throughout the later events of the Halo universe. By the end of the third installment of the first story arc, John-117 is canonically promoted, in absentia, to the rank of Master Chief Special Warfare Operator of the Navy.

Gravemind

The Gravemind is a parasitic, hive mind intelligence in the Halo universe. While only one Gravemind is ever seen in the games, the title is given to the final stage of Flood evolution, in which the Flood becomes a superorganism. The Flood is a highly-infectious parasite which is released several times during Halo '​s story. The Chief and the Arbiter are captured during their separate missions on Delta Halo, or Installation 05, by a Gravemind, which resides in the bowels of the ancient Forerunner ringworld, where the Flood creature forges an alliance between the two foes in order to stop the activation of the ringworld — an event which would destroy all sentient life, and, therefore, starve the Flood. The character is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
Making its first appearance in Halo 2, the Gravemind was introduced to dispel the idea that the Flood is a mindless virus. The character was designed by a Bungie team, including artists Robert McLees and Juan Ramirez, and slowly developed into a massive creature with tentacles and a frightening level of intelligence.
