Halo 3 Delema

okay so ive ran into a bit of a problem

ive pre-ordered halo 3 but i have NEVER played halo CE or 2 before

my problem is should i buy/rent these 2 games so i can get caught up on the story for Halo 3? or just leave them be and play Halo 3?

just on clarification as to why ive never played them is because last gen i had a PS2 and i just got my 360 Elite when it was released on May 4th

if you have not played the first two why are you going to get the third?

actually ive always thought they are wayyyy over-rated (because some people defend this game to there life and say its absolutly perfect) but the reason im getting it is for the online. i played the beta and it was really fun and i enjoyed it.

ya i would go and rent the first 2, there pretty fun and have a good plot.wreak

well i was looking and Halo CE is 14.99 brand new at future shop

and Halo 2 is 39.99 brand new at future shop so im def gunna buy H1 but not sure on H2 is it worth a buy?

Haha. I'm a pretty big 360 and Halo fanboy, but I'll be the first to say Halo 2's campaign/story sucked. Halo CE was pretty good, especially for its time, but the single-player improvement in the sequel was worthless compared to MP. You can read plot synopses on wikipedia if you really don't want to play them.zeppelin6591

well i`d want to play them thats for sure but im just wondering if its worth the $$ to buy them and if knowing what happened in H1/H2 will impact my experience in H3

Because it will be a good game!

id play them both. start with one then go to two. i cant go back after ive played the next game because they made so many changes. ive plays h2 2 or 3 times since the beta and i considered myself a halo freak before then. get good at the game before 3 comes out and youll be up to snuff on pwning lil noobies.

and then H2 whenever i finish H1

god, theres gonna be so many first timers when halo3 launches. n00b parade!!!

A bit of advice, get halo2 and get some experience online, cause YOU HAVE NO IDEA, WHAT PLAY GROUND YOU ARE HEADING INTO!!! youve been warned

I don't know about that, Bungie does have a good matchmaking system, so I think he'll be alright. The matchmaking system should match you up with people of similar skill, its gonna be hard for it to do that at first because everyone will be the same rank, but after a couple weeks or a month it should be alright.

Anyway, if I was you I would rent them both (at different times) and play through the campaigns on normal. Be sure you have about 15 hours to dedicate to playing each gamethough becausethats roughly howlong ittakes to complete the single player portions. Then maybe give the multiplayer a whirl in Halo 2 in order to get your feet wet.

Id get it:D

Oh and by ther way its spelled Dilema:D

Why in the world would you play the last in the series without playing the first two? That's like seeing Star Wars: Return of the Jedi before seeing A New Hope.

The Halo games are great. Play them all, in order. On Elite. The first Halo allows the player to respawn where you died if on co-op, but the second makes you both start the level over again at the last checkpoint. Unless you finish the game on Elite, then you can do the respawn thing.

I'm such a geek for pointing these things out ...

oh well.

Don't you mean Legendary?

i'll be one of the few to tell you not to buy them.

I have halo 3 on pre-order, but i did not enjoy playing the single player on halo 2 whatsoever. bungie even openly admits that the campaign on halo 2 was crappy.
