Subject: Shall I Complete Halo: Combat Evolved and/ or Halo 2 ?

I own all Halo games (except Wars which sucked) However I have only ever fully played Halo 3 and I am getting ODST, Would you advise that I should play Halo: Combat Evolved or/ and Halo 2 (I have done a few campaign mission)

Definitly halo 1, since it is a classic, it has a good campaign, and it is very solid in gameplay, and in weapons.


Halo 2, is actually, a different game, in terms of gameplay and atmosphere, but if you like a deep story line, and a good look at the covenant's point of view in the halo universe, then play halo 2 aswell.

The Halo: Combat Evolved Campaign is best in terms of challenge, combat and replayability. Halo 2 has a deeper story. I definitely recommend playing them, but preferably in order.

Not to be jerky here, but, how do you own such high quality games and not even complete them ?
I mean, Dead Space is so unpleasant, it makes me jumpy/irritable, but, it was so good, I kept at it to get all the achievements. Chickenlittle is right. Start with the first. The rest of them will have so much more meaning when you do. CE made gaming what it is.

Why would you complete Halo 3 without playing the 1st and 2nd ones first? There's a whole backtrack of storyline your missing from those two games and to just skip ahead to Halo 3 caused you to miss 3 quarters of the storyline. There are the prophets, the pillar of autumn, and even the flood that are all part of the storyline beginning in Halo 1. Playing Halo 3 first was a stupid and completely irrelevant idea.

So great. One of the very few games I've played that could be compared to Halo in terms of overall quality.

Fix'd, and agreed. They put a ton of work into the story and gameplay, and it shows.

Agreed, great game!

Play Halo 1, then 2, then 3 then Halo Wars. Halo Wars didn't suck, I enjoyed it.

But you may be saying it sucks because you don't like RTS's, that's fine, doesn't mean it sucks though.
