Poll What is Microsoft's best series? (57 votes)
Microsoft probably has the weakest line up of first party franchises, but it still has some pretty good aces up its sleeve. Halo alone is a genre, industry, and console defining franchise, and their first party deserves credit for that. Of course, they could have even more franchises, if they only tapped into Rare's IP, but as of right now, that is a moot point.
But anyway, which of their franchises do you think is the absolute best?
As for me, this was a no brainer:
Not many franchises can claim to have completely reshaped then industry in their image, but Halo is one of the few that can. With Halo and Halo 2, Bungie redefined console gaming standards twice, and they continued their streak with three exceptional Xbox 360 games as well. In the last few years, Halo has definitely seen a fair bit of decline- Halo 4 was pretty bad, The Master Chief Collection was a disaster, and the Halo 5 beta looks pretty polarizing- but Halo as a franchise can still pull its weight and command attention.
Let's hope Halo 5 is a return to form for the series.
