Halo Guía y cronología
Humanity's war with the Covenant leads soldiers to ancient ringworlds whose purpose is far more dangerous than either side expects. Halo pairs Master Chief's battles with stories of other crews and units caught in the conflict. The live-action series offers its own Silver Timeline, separate from the games.

Timeline guide
Halo: First Contact With the Rings
Start with Halo: Combat Evolved, then follow the main games in release order. Reach and Halo Wars look back earlier; the live-action Halo series belongs to the separate Silver Timeline.

An earlier military operation is not automatically a better introduction than discovering the first Halo ring with the original cast.
Overview & recommendation
Halo reveals the scale of its universe a piece at a time. What begins as a desperate military encounter becomes a story about ancient weapons, inherited beliefs and a threat that neither side fully understands.
The side games change perspective and sometimes genre. They can deepen the war without displacing Master Chief's central route, and the television adaptation makes its own choices about these familiar people and events.
Use Combat Evolved as the original starting point and continue through Halo 2 and Halo 3 before treating earlier-set entries as required preparation. Add ODST, Reach or the Wars games for the crews and battles they follow. Choose a remade or enhanced presentation when it retells a campaign, rather than assuming both are needed.
Game History and the Silver Timeline Connected campaigns and a separate television interpretation
The games share the core war and Forerunner history even when their protagonists differ. The TV series uses the Silver Timeline, so its variations are not corrections to the games or scenes missing between missions.
Game Canon (18 entries)
Halo's connected game campaigns, including Chief's adventures, earlier military operations and other units' perspectives; story sorting differs from publication order.
Silver (TV) (2 entries)
The live-action Silver Timeline, reinterpreting Halo independently of the games' exact events and character histories.
Discovering Halo Through Its Games 20 entries
Original release order keeps the main campaign introductions intact. Side perspectives and strategy games are choices within that world; they need not interrupt every numbered sequel.

Earlier Battles and Overlapping Campaigns 20 entries
Halo Wars precedes Reach and Combat Evolved. Other campaigns revisit the same war years from different perspectives. Those overlaps are broad story placement, not an instruction to switch games during individual missions.

Halo Campaigns as They Appeared 20 entries
Publication order separates the story's first telling from later prequels and revised editions. Halo Wars: Definitive Edition revisits the original Wars campaign rather than adding another war after it.
