1 can be kind of a pain cuz everything looks the same. 2 is not fun, with an absurd story about some alien arbiter that they jabber on about. 3 is really good, but I thought that

Spoiler

Master Chief died at the end

, not sure how they managed to make sequels but there are a few games after that, but I mever played em.

Halo 1, then 2, 3 ODST and Reach.
I didnt enjoy 4 and 5 but try them for yourselves.
Enjoy, the Bungie Halo Games are amazing

In release order. Halo 4 isn't really good but I had my moments with it. Halo 5 I quit because its like a worse 4 with the same boring interiors.

Halo 3 was amazing on the MCC. I never liked the original much but the improved IQ and framerate really helps. Fun romp.

Just do them in order.

Is a lot of story you won't get and might feel like "did I miss something" because they made the Halo-verse so big with story arcs and such stemming from the books and such.

Play co-op with someone too

Right trigger.

Is there online campaign co op?

First 2 can be played 2 player online co-op then the rest can be played 4 player online co-op

Even though I've been playing Xbox games since the OG, I've never played a Halo game.

Hopefully I'll go through them soon. Thanks for all the suggestions here too.

so I'm downloading Halo MCC and Halo 5 via gamepass on my XSX. I've never played a Halo game. I had 2 questions:

1. What Halo games should I play the single player campaign on? Should I just start at Halo Reach? Is Halo CE even worth playing since I have no nostalgia for it and it's like 20 years old? Is Halo Reach even worth playing nowadays given that is a 10 year old FPS?

2. What Halo games are the best for multiplayer? Which has the strongest community? Halo 5? I also heard from a fellow member that the social community on Halo MCC is great. Which Halo games on MCC are the most popular?

Basically it seems like a lot of the value of MCC comes from the nostalgia of replaying these older games. I'm just wondering what games will provide the most fun in 2020 for someone who has no memories of the franchise growing up.

Halo 1, 2, 3, then decide if you want to spend time with ODST and/or Reach before moving on to 4.

And yes CE is still worth playing. It’s still the best of the campaigns.

Don’t worry about which games’ multiplayer to check out, MCC’s matchmaking will handle that. Maybe just avoid CE’s in the boxes where you can check which game(s) to play.

Shoot small groups of Elites, Grunts, and Jackals. Throw grenades. Time melee attacks right after you empty your clip.

similar =! same

 

[Kamina]

The real question is ”where do you stop”, and the answer is “after Reach”.

 

[eastcoastkody]

play Halo 1-3. maybe Reach. and ignore the rest of the games like i did. i stick to halo 1-3 for multi also

 

[h0ghead]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend playing Reach first. It'll skew your view of the classic trilogy's gameplay. CE has the best campaign missions IMO, so don't skip it.

Campaign: Halo 1-3, then Reach

MP: every game except 4. Halo 3 Big Team Battle is amazing, btw
