In what order to play Halo titles before Halo: Infinite

The Halo universe has grown tremendously over the past 20 years, spanning novels, movies, anime, and even comics. However, the main and most epic tale of this saga remains video games, very popular with fans. For you to prepare for imminent arrival From Halo: Infinite, we bring you a guide where you will find out in which order to play the Halo titles to understand the upcoming new game.

1. Halo: Combat Evolved

Always start with Halo: Evolved Combat. It was the first game in the series, the longest and the one that lays the foundations for the rest of the story. Also, playing first, you will avoid the shock mechanics you would have if you played other more modern titles first and then this one.

3. Halo ODST

We take the leap and we are falling in the town of New Mombasa. Halo ODST is a spin-off with detective undertones, but at the same time continues the story of Halo 2 on earth.

Because it introduces new characters, like the soldier male (inspired by the actor Nathan Fillion), which we will see later with a very important role in games like Halo 5: Guardians. We also discovered new enemies like engineers, who have a very important role.

Help the Master Chief to finish the fight and you will discover much more about the Halo universe. The rings, the ark, the precursors. Fight to save mankind and become the soldier they need.
