Never Played Halo In My Life

Well ive only played the multiplayer......

I have halo 1 (PC) and halo 2 (xbox)

I dont like FPS games....and I HATE sci-fi games.......so when you mix them you get a game i dont really like......

With all that said......do i need to have played the 1st and 2nd one to know whats going on in Halo 3??? I dont even like the Halo series but Im pretty sure its a law in this country that if you have a 360 you have to get Halo 3.....so ill be getting it.....

I actually have no clue what fight they are talking about...so "Finish the Fight" means pretty much nothing to me.....im guessing its just aliens are threating humanity and you have to save everybody, right??? I just think thats boring and generic.....but I at least want to know whats going on...

So should i play them both?? How long are the single players??? Will i be able to beat them in like....2 days or less??? I just want to play them, understand the stories and get it over with.....I have tons of work to do....but I have my values...and 360>Work

Any questions answered would be appreciated...

why waste the money then? Buy something you're gonna play...polsci1503

I already have halo 1 and 2 and ill be buying the third one.....ill play it just because its Halo...and the online is fun...and this time around ill give the single player a shot...

So you have halo and halo 2 and you are asking if you should play them? Are you seriuos?taylorb522

I dont want to waste my time if they are too long...or if Halo 1 isnt gonna have any part in the 3rd one....i just know halo 2 was a cliffhanger ending, so i know that has something to do with 3....

How long are they?

well, figure that the first Halo will probably take you around 10-12 hours to complete, and Halo 2 about 8-10.polsci1503

Oh...wow...thats kind of long....

Does Halo 1 play a big part in Halo 2?? Because ill just skip that one.....if it doesnt...

If you don't care about the series, forget about it. Just go online and find some fansite if you want to know about story.

The games themselves don't really provide much of a story. You can tell they try to, but the narrative really sucks, and you find yourself remembering more about certain action sequences, rather than the filler cut-scenes they call a "story arc".

If you want to immerse yourself in a great action game with story, go with the Half-Life2 collection (coming out in October, I think?). More fun, and less of a chance the juvenile tool in line next to you with his mother will be buying the same game.

I've played Halo 2 online for about 10 minutes and the Halo 3 beta for about an hour but that's about it.

yep, 8-12 hours is pretty normal (and actually I prefer 12-20 hours myself, and 40+ hours for RPGs). 8 hours is considered a short game.

It took me 6 months to beat Gears Of War.....people said that was short too...short games take me a really really long time...

u dont really seem like u care too much. but if u want some info just google it and u will find some pretty good results.Spartan-4295

Alright im just gonna read the games story on Wikipedia....i didnt even know you could do that.....save me some time...

You can find the story on wiki or on fan sites, so you really don't have to play the other games if you don't want to.

You should play Halo 1's single player campaign though, it's awesome.

im gonna guess that your one of the people with no unique personality nor life and just do what the majority does even if you don't like it so that you can try to fool yourself and others that you are ''cool''.btw your topic is wrong, you played halo 1 and 2 so don't make lies to get atention.lightdarksamus

:lol:

The majority of people have played Halo.....I havnt, so your logic is flawed....

And thanks for informing me that I have played them....i think im recollecting some thoughts.....I think after i beat them the M.I.B came by and flashed that amnesia pen thing at me....I remember men in black suits and sunglasses with silver pens in my house shortly after....and i remember one conversation with them saying I know too much...

BRB...gotta go report this

you have ineed played halo you said it in you firt post ''i have played the miltiplayer only'' therefore you have played and your still tying to get attention so be my guest and report me, it's not like it's going to solve your problems.lightdarksamus

I dont report people...and I dont see a reason to report you....

And as i said....i have never played Halo single player in my life...and thats all i said....i got answers to the questions i asked...im gonna go read the stories on wikipedia before halo 3 comes out...and thats it...

well let me just start off by saying.....that the post you just made didnt take any more than 5 seconds of your life....and im 100% positive there has been plenty of people that saw and read the topic and didnt post....so dont ask like you are forced to do so...

And anyways...ive learned my lesson, never say anything bad about Halo in a 360 board....got it

I got my question answered...so thats pretty much it......

just play the game man. can't go wrong with that. butI dont understand one thing. you saidyou dont like FPS and sci-fi games. so why would you even think about buying halo (any of them).
