I didn't play #2 at all so take my opinion with a grain of salt (although reading these posts makes me think I'm not missing a whole lot).
Have Halo for the PC - didn't really like it. It was short and relatively simple for a shooter on the PC. Not to say it isn't good,but standing up to the likes of Doom 3 and HL:2 -Halo falls well short. Don't even start the comparisons to strategic shooters such as R6 or Graw. Hell R6:Vegas was a better port than the first Halo.
For the record however, Halo was masterful in it's execution. As technically sound as they come, which says alot considering the developer (Bungie ie Microsoft).
Halo 3, I got with my 360 (Halosp. edition 360). From the get go it felt way more fleshed out than the 1st halo.Sure the graphics were better (360 vs Xbox) but the environmentsfelt more alive,I'd guessmore depth to the level design, part of why I thought the 1st halo felt small. The AI wassuperior and while just as linear as the 1st game, scripted sequences benefitted from the same attention to detail the environments do. The game felt much stronger via 360 controller than a mouse/keyboard combo I utilized in the 1st. Perhaps my amature play on the 360 added to Halo3's difficulty, which would explain the more satisfying experience.
Halo Wars demo didn't impress me. Not after CnC3, SupCom (FA)and Sins.And ofcourse, asI stated before, I never played the 2nd one, so I can't comment on the plots and storylines.
