so i'm thinking of doing a halo marathon to prepare for Halo 4, thoughts?

Well, tommorrow i'm planning on buying Halo 1, 3, reach, odst. I already have halo wars not sure if the story fits in. I cant get halo 2 in stores and don't have a credit card to buy it online. Anyhow, i'm wondering if on all the halos is there still people playing online. Its not that big of a deal since i'm going to be buying all of them for the story and i know ODst doesnt fit into the main theme but it would still be cool to get more insights in the life of spartens and the halo univers in general.

I have played 1,2,3 and reach in the past but never back to back, and the fact if i do this i'm going to be missing out on 2 kinda of sucks but oh well. Nevertheless, i've hit a dry spell in gaming these days. My last addictions was when i played mass effect 1,2,3 back to back recently and about 500 hours of skyrim. Now i have just been turning on my xbox and jumping around from here to there with nothing really holding my interest. Granted i played BL2 for about a week but i'm kinda of burned out on it.

Do you think playing a marathon on the sersis will get be back into the gaming addiction? Have any of you tried this in the serise? If so how was it?

I've never tried this but it sounds like a cool way to get up on the story before the release of Halo 4. If I were you though I would play Reach 1st as it's basically a prequel. Odsts 2nd since it coincedes with the events of Halo 2 and takes place before Halo3. Then play Halo 3 which will lead you right into the events of halo 4.

Happy gaming Spartan.

LOVE IT! Now I'm thinking of doing the same thing

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with 1 and 2, I'll have to wait to get my xbox (halo 4 edition) to get 3 and reach, but I'll play their campaigns before Halo 4's (though, Halo 4 MP will be played). Definitely a nice way to get hyped and back up to date on the story to get into 4.

I'm doin' the same thing :) I'm gettin out the old xbox and playing through Combat Evolved and Halo 2, then going to Halo 3, ODST and reach, and then getting 4 at midnight and pretty much playing it throughout the entire evening.

Yeppp it's gonna be a crazy october/november.

Halo Wars takes place around 25 years before Halo Reach-3.

I'd probably just pass on ODST...Pittfan666

Oh yeah, duh! Brain Fart! You're right. I still need to buy the anniversary edition before I go marathoning.
