From what I have herd it is as following:

Release Order

The Fall of Reach

Yes.

Seems pretty much right to me, Ghosts of Onyx begins somewhere toward the end of First strike, and then during the events of Halo 2. While Halo 3: ODST is set during the events of Halo 2 also (At the end of the second level, i forget the name)

OMG a Pwny!

Cole Protocol happens during/after Fall of Reach. Ghosts of Onyx also happens closer to Halo Wars and a bit later.

  • 02.01.2011 5:28 PM PDT

A lot of games/books happen in the middle of other games/books.

Contact harvest happens about halfway through the fall of reach.

Halo ODST happens about 1/3 of the way through Halo 2.

The ending of the fall of reach, the entirety of Halo: Reach and the beginning of first strike all overlap.

Ghosts of onyx over a lot of time period, from about 2/3 of the way through the fall of reach to roughly the end of Halo 2.

Also, ghosts of onyx 2 has nothing to do with the character of ghosts of onyx, it just takes place around the time period following it. Shouldn't really be called GOO2.

So the covenant managed to get from the first contact through 30 years of war and to the inner colonies in one book? What was I missing?????(sarcasm) Harvest happened Years before the fall of reach which was near the first halo game, within the same week if I'm not wrong.

In a helpful note though, the first strike should be before H2 and the GoO happened during halo 2 along with ODST.

The fall of reach, the book, covers almost 40 years of time. Do your research before your spout your bullshot.

Fall of reach starts when master chief is 6 years old, covers 99% of the covenant war and ENDS with the fall of reach.

You were missing a brain apparently. Don't talk about things you know absolutely nothing about.

Imbecile.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Yes. But don't forget many of them overlap.

I made a huge canon order ages ago here. There's lots of switching and the order is more complex. A more updated version is on halo waypoints forums.

OMG a Pwny!

Don't know if I started this, but I wasn't trying to argue or get into the fine details of what happens when, I was just making a bit of a clarification because an earlier post was very wrong.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

no, he got it right, you dont know what your talking about

Halo 3: ODST should be placed alongside Halo 2.

Like this: Halo 2/ODST

Mostly due to it being started after Halo 2 began, but ended before Halo 2 ended.

ODST should be placed a little earlier, as it happened during the events of halo 2.

Thanks you guys!! You helped me really clarify the series, especially DarthBill 99 and Wazooty.

  • 02.10.2011 2:53 PM PDT

In chronological order of events, it happens like this:

-Forerunners activate Halo, and revive universal life.
-UNSc is created
-Contact with the Covenant species is established, and war breaks out.
-Reach is glassed
-Halo CE
-Halo 2
-H3: ODST
-H3
-War ends, Flood is destroyed.
