Favorite video game series: Professor Layton or Half-Life
Favorite video game: Super Mario Galaxy
Favorite movie series: Pixar (It's not really a series, but I just can't pick.)
Favorite movie: Inception

If you have a way of playing Halo 1 and 2, start with those, than play Halo 3. After that, it doesn't really make a difference what order you go in next, but I would suggest ODST, Reach, Wars. In conclusion:

Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST
Halo: Reach
Halo Wars

After you play these, if you're still wanting more, then there's a series of books, which go in this reading order:

Halo: Fall of Reach
Halo: The Flood
Halo: First Strike
Halo: Ghosts of Onyx
Halo: Contact Harvest
Halo: The Cole Protocol
Halo: Evolutions
Halo: Cryptum

Then you have the comics. Read them in whatever order you feel like.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Here's the correct order from start to finish:

Halo Wars
Halo: Reach
Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo 2
Halo 3: ODST
Halo 3

I did it in the following order, and it was awesome. Everything fits together:

Halo: Reach
Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo 2 - until you leave Earth
Halo 3 ODST
Halo 2 - Delta Halo to the end
Halo 3

And yes, after the New Mombasa level on 2, I took the disc out and played ODST. It may seem like a pain, but with the timeline it makes sense. ODST only spans roughly 24 hours. That's the way to play it.

Dude, I would read Harvest and the Cole Protocol first. You just listed what order they came out. You could read Cryptum first if you wanted to, but it takes place so far into the past, it doesn't really matter.

Halo: Cryptum
Halo: Contact Harvest
Halo: The Cole Protocol
Halo: The Fall of Reach

Halo: Reach
Halo: Combat Evolved / Halo: The flood (Same story as Halo:CE with added depth)
Halo: First Strike
Halo 2 - until you leave Earth
Halo 3 ODST
Halo 2 - Delta Halo to the end
Halo: Ghosts of Onyx
Halo 3
Halo: Evolutions (Short stories that happen through out all the games and books, so I'd read it last)


Fix'd with books :)
