What came first in the Halo franchise. Halo: The Fall Of Reach or Halo Combat Evolved. I know the book came out before the game but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was first.

Are you asking what the chronological order is in the Halo universe?

If so, The Fall of Reach happened before Halo: Combat Evolved.

In creation order. Bungie came up with the idea for Halo and Eric Nyland made The Fall Of Reach or is the other way around

I actually can't remember...I know Nylund made the book in a matter of a couple months...but don't remember when.

Does anyone know? I've been thinking this for awhile and never got the answer

Halo: Combat Evolved was made first. Fall of Reach was written as a prequel to Halo: CE. I say this with 100% certainty.

Both came out in 2001, but I don't remember which came first.

TO RESEARCH!

Halo: The Fall fo Reach (October 30, 2001)
Halo: Combat Evolved (November 15, 2001)

Now I wish I read the book before the game.
