OK, this is how it goes...

1.Halo: Combat Evolved
2.Halo 2
3.Halo 3
4.Halo 3: ODST
5.Halo: Reach

However the order of the sequels go as follows...

1.Halo: Reach
2.Halo: Combat Evolved
3.Halo 2
4.Halo 3: ODST
5.Halo 3

Everytime I think about it I am left puzzled of why Bungie created the series this way... However it is rather interesting in my opinion.

We should know better, because we are better.

They made the trilogy first and then explored some interesting story later. They wanted to tell the story of MC from start to finish before working on other projects.
Reach was originally a book meant to give you backstory on the characters and they decided a tie in was unessecary (until now). As for ODST, it showed what happened in between Halo 2 and 3 and showed what happened to Mombossa.

They never thought they were going to make Halo Reach or ODST.

If only they hadn't made the former. Sigh.

ODST paved the way for Reach.

-Return to health kits
-No dual wielding
-New character, in an elite squad
-Engineers
-Firefight

Whenever you are puzzled by a question wonder, "how does this have to do with money?"
