Ok i picked up the halo series at 3, so ive been kinda scrambling to piece together what ive missed. Never read any of the books either, so im way over my head. On top of that, the halo 3 legendary ending planet question gave me a migraine, so could someone explain what the hell is going on???

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Why don't you buy a couple novels, I suggest the 3 by Eric Nylund. Buy Halo 2, it is not that much, maybe like $20, then DL Halo: CE from the marketplace. That is like another $20.

All in all, you will be spending just a little bit under $80 I guess. It is worth it though.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

What Pokey said, but if you want the ultra-condensed version let me know and i'll PM you.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Okay, to get the jist of what's happening so far in the Halo universe, do the following in order:
- Read Halo: Fall of Reach.
- Read Halo: The Flood, or play Halo 1, but The Flood has more details. Nevertheless, Halo 1 is a good game.
- Read Halo: First Strike.
- Play Halo 2.
- Read Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
- Play through Halo 3 again to fully understand what you've learned so far.

You could also read Contact Harvest and Cole Protocol to get some more information, both of which are set before the events of Halo 1. You could also play Halo Wars, which also takes place before Halo 1, if it's your type of game.

I could send you a fully detailed story of what's happened in the Halo universe, but it could take me a while. Just send me a PM if you want me to.
