It is about a war between humans and an alien race called the covenant who come across an ancient space ring which contains the "flood". The flood is a virus type thing which takes over body's turning them into zombie like creatures. The covenant believe that the only way to destroy the flood is to activate the ring and wipe out every living thing in the universe. You play as master chief who is a spartan super soldier and it is up to you to stop the covenant form activating the ring.
.. No, Halo 1 and Halo 2 and have different story's
Halo 5 will most likely follow the story line of Halo 3/Halo 4.
Yes, but you should start from halo 1 that way you fully undertsand the plot
The books are based of the game (says in the back of the book) lol Their mostly for true halo fans that give them tons of back story of the characters in halo Example: you learn how John (aka Master Chief) came to be. fall of reach is before halo 1, the flood is halo 1, first cotact between halo 1 and halo 2, ghosts of onyx im not sure, contact harvest before halo 1 and just before halo wars, cole protocall i havent read yet.
No, but it is near the beginning of the halo story
If your refering to games series 1 and 2 are the better games for story and multiplayer.
Its a mix of both. 1. The game has a completely different story line than the regular halo's 2. The game takes place between delta halo in halo 2 and the beginning of halo 3 are they going to make halo odst 2?
Halo 1 is Halo CE.
the didact is the main story villain in halo 4
No, he can be seen in an isolation chamber in the last cut scene as an Easter egg in the game. The pillar of autumn takes off from reach, then lands on halo which is where the story of halo 1 begins.
No. Halo 1 gave birth to the HALO franchise and its awesome. Any idiot who tells you otherwise has no respect for the classics. yes halo 1 did but halo reach started halo 1
They never released a second Halo 1 and Halo: Combat Evolved is Halo 1. My source is Wikipedia; type in Halo 1, it will come up with Halo: Combat Evolved.
