As a person who has never played halo, which order should I play the collection in?

[Masterj]

I never had a xbox growing up and was just wondering what game should I start with to make sense of the halo world.

[Indig0]

I would say for the best *STORY* experience.

The order it is released in.


I would say you probably want to play Halo 3 ODST Before Halo 3 but After Halo 2 {Though that isn't required.}

[Dinkle_Meat]

you can either A start with the very first halo and go from there or B just start with Halo 3 like i did cause its the best halo :)

Halo 1, 2, ODST, 3, 4. story wise, but play in the order they release in.

[HolyFormFJS]

1. Halo: Reach
2. Halo: Combat Evolved
3. Halo 2
4. Halo 3: ODST
5. Halo 3
6. Halo 4

I was gonna put Halo 5 but that isnt in the collection even though it will probably come later but it would be number 7 on the list if it was in the MCC

theres other games that arent in the MCC like the 2 top down shooter games, 2 rts games, and the 1 arcade game but honestly no one cares about those so this list is all you need to know if you wanna play them in order

Halo Wars was some good stuff

Playing them in the order they released, to me, would be best. Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3:ODST, Halo: Reach and Halo 4. Halo: Reach chronologically takes place before Halo: Combat Evolved and sheds some light on the events that lead up to opening of Halo: CE. But there isn't anything in Reach that makes it any easier to understand the other games. This is the order that anyone who played each game as they came out had to experience them.

That said nothing wrong with starting with reach and then play each one as they come out.

no dont be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥. halo 4's campaign was amazing

It was meh at best, only good thing out of it was the ending cutscene between you know who.

I concur with playing in original release order.

[I Got Spurs]

ide just play in order of release, thats what i do for every game series, so it would go like this

halo 1/combat evolved
halo 2
halo 3
halo 3 ODST
halo reach
halo 4
and, if halo 5s gonna be coming at some point, halo 5

although as far as im aware they arent all gonna be released at launch, so reach is all that theres gonna be to play i think, i could be wrong though

[Phylo]

Play them in release order like a normal human being.

Reach isn't very indicative of the franchise as a whole storywise. The gameplay is like a "best of" album for all the Halo games before it. The story mode is better experienced after you've at least tried the first 3. The order you play multiplayer in doesn't really matter tho.
