What is the order to play for the story from start to end?

[balkroth]

I've googled but only could find order for every game and not just the master chief collection.

Please help! and thanks in advance. Just completed Reach first. Side note can you survive that last battle?

As always thanks in advance.

You gotta start from Halo CE(1st game),
Then Halo 2,3 then Halo 3 Odst
And finally Halo 4.
Then go for Halo Infinite.. Btw why did you played Reach first 🥲

When I was googling for a list I remember it saying that this game was before the Master Chief, so I jumped on in.

the one listed in the campaign menu
reach
ce
2
3
odst
you can and SHOULD skip 4

[balkroth]

Are the stories different from 3 and 3 odst?

Release order or chronological order is up to you, and as far as Halo 4 goes, just know the games before it was made by Bungie, and 4 and after was made by 343.
Personally, I liked all the games, but that is just my opinion. (i have not played anything after 4)

I played them in chronological order.

Reach
H1
H2
ODST
H3
H4

And I loved this experience.
