Best Halo Game to Start With?
10/11/10 4:47 pm | #1
I never really got into Halo (never owned an original Xbox), but I did play 1 and 2 at my friends house when they came out. With the recent release of Reach, I want to try to get into the series. What would be the best order to play them in? Should I play them in storyline order and start with Reach, or should I play them in release order and start with 1?
Appreciate the input guys!

This.
If you play them in chronological order, you will most likely not play all of them, as Halo CE does not look anything like Reach, graphics wise.

Yuh i'd go with release order as well, plus by the time you get to Reach you'll be a finely tuned Halo machine.

if youre a story person, deff go w/ release order. CE, 2, 3, ODST, Reach.
if you just wanna get a feel for halo, and not to big on story, id say start w/ halo 3, its a pretty good insight on odst n reach. then go to odst, get used to the health system n stuff, and finally reach
whatever you decide to do, do NOT start w/ reach. you definately want to have atleast 2 games ahead of it, to get a feel for the halo games. but dont go the technical story order and start w/ reach. yes, thats technically correct, but itd be kinda stupid to go from amazing new game w/ sexy graphics on 360, to meh graphics on PC. i personally wanna go back n play CE and 2 myself, since i never have. but im not sure how to go about doing that yet >.>

I agree with the general concensus. I can see how you might think you want to start with Reach for chronology, but the games were made in the order they were released. I know that sounds stupid, but it means that as the makers went back to make Reach they made it specifically as a prequel so it fits into their storytelling for people who started at the beginning.
It's kind of like Star Wars. If you had never seen any of the films, you would still want to start with the original trilogy because the new trilogy was made to tell the story in the way they were released. Think of it as "Quenton Tarantino" type storytellling.

And if you REALLY want to get into the story, there are 6 books, a Graphic Novel, and a 4 issue Comic set that all tie into the Halo Universe.
I'm not sure about the comics and the Graphic Novel, but Bungie has stated that all the books are Cannon with the games.

I just told Melissa last night that I definitely enjoy the novels more than the games!

I liked them too. The only one I haven't read yet is the newest one, Evolutions or something like that.
