In this part of the video, the creator begins ranking the Halo games’ multiplayer modes from worst to best. They clarify that Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 5 won’t be included in the ranking. Starting with number six, Halo 4 is identified as having the worst multiplayer due to its shift towards Call of Duty-like mechanics, such as custom loadouts and killstreaks, which detracted from team strategy. Customization in Halo 4 was praised for its depth, but overall gameplay changes made it less appealing for longtime fans without attracting a new audience. The creator also mentions that Halo 4’s gunplay was the least enjoyable in the series. Moving to number five is Halo CE, which, although personally enjoyed by the creator, lacked depth with very basic custom games and no ranking system, reflecting its status as a last-minute addition to the original game.
