This is probably seen through rose tinted glasses, but Halo 3 had the best multi-player experience I think. It has community created maps, game modes, and an a way for anybody with a account to share what they made. From pictures to custom forge maps. I have nothing but fond memories of the experience. So it makes sense to me at least that some people wouldn’t stop playing until Microsoft or Bungie or whoever made them.
This is definitely an objective opinion based on facts and universal experiences: the best multiplayer experience was Halo 1, when we ran ethernet cables between our dorm rooms. I’d wake up to someone slamming on my door telling me to turn my Xbox on, and I’d jump right into a death match.
My life went down in Containment doing 1v1 splitscreem pvp with my friend.
I will never let anyone say Halo 2 was worse than any other entry.
It’s either Reach, CE or 2 (in the chronological order).
Halo 3 released on better hardware, so they included huge multiplayer maps like Sandtrap, but they hadn’t yet realised that huge maps require faster traversal. As a result, your Spartan moves around like a sack of wet potatoes.
Halo 2 has the best slow multiplayer because of the tighter maps, and Halo 5 has the best fast multiplayer because of the traversal tools.

I didn’t even know people were still playing Halo 3 in 2015

its the best one, I still go back to it from time to time
Master Chief Collection came out in late 2014.
It sucked so hard for the first 4 years that I didn’t start playing it again until 2018 when they sorta fixed it.
