I was a Sega and PlayStation fanboy growing up so I completely missed out on the Halo series. I finally pick up the Master Chief Collection on Steam.
I’m only interested in the story and I probably won’t touch the multiplayer. What order should I play it in as someone who knows absolutely nothing about Halo? Release date order or chronologically?
Just play 1, 2 & 3 chronologically and if you want more play odst. I, personally, wouldn’t recommend halo 4. They’re also great games for co op if you have a friend you can convince
Pretty much this.
I agree but also how the heck did you forget Reach! 😅
What an absolutely phenomenal single player game in the series, and absolutely fantastic multiplayer to boot! :-D
Gosh the Reach score lives rent free in my head all these years later… ♥️
Thanks. What’s so bad about 4? Everyone talks bad about it.
1, 2, 3, 3: ODST, Reach. That’s the most important order.
As others are saying, just go with the release order. You can ignore anything after Reach.
The order that they appear in MCC, which is pretty much release order. I would 1000% get the ODST and Reach campaigns as well, as those are top notch too.
CE, 2, 3, ODST, Reach. You can play 4 if you want so you can see how it started going downhill, and it has its moments.
