Well after giving up of the playstation (since sony seemed to be drunk at the wheel when creating games and features (MY OPINION NOT FACT)) and also ive played for hours on my friends XBOX 360 and Live and it was so much fun. Anyway.

I am getting Halo 3 indefinately, coz i loved it at my friends place and i alos want to play him online, but is it worth getting the previous Halo and Halo 2 so i can understand the campaign rather than wonder round aimlessly shooting things i think im supposed too.

Opinions and Advice welcome.

Thx a lot ^^

I say it's worth it. They're fantastic games, they're cheap now, and you'll understand the story and the amazing Halo universe now...so why not? :)

Theyre pretty good but its not needed.

And by the way, the thing you called your opinion is fact ;)

Like, what you said is fact right now, but Killzone2 is a game I really wanna play along with Haze. Lol, thats all. Anyway, you dont need the first 2 Halo's to get the story, but if you want to play the best Halo then buy the first one, I think Halo went downhill after the first Halo.

Halo 1 = great story

Halo 2 = OK story, great multiplayer thanks to Live

Halo 3 = Only play it because that's the only thing my friends play. If I could, I would still want to go back and play some truely fun games with my friends on Halo 2.

i would say save money and google the cutscenes of Halo 1 and 2...that's what I did...helps you understand a little better and if you like or know how to read you can find the halo 1 and 2 stories typed up on some sites...so the actual games are not needed...hope halo 3 doesn't get repititve to you...advice: switch around don't just play team slayer all day...

I loved Halo 1, and still do. Not so much Halo 2, but still worth getting. However, it's really not necessary unless you want to get further into the story...or just to have as a trilogy.

not worth buying. the story goes downhill after the first one. if anything i say google it or just rent the first two just to play through the campaign.
