(Part 2) Top products from r/halo

GET THEM ALL!!!! Just kidding ^^^^^but ^^^^^not ^^^^^really

If you are interested in the story I would recommend getting Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary first in order to get an idea of what Halo is about. It is basically the first Halo game, Halo: Combat Evolved, but remastered for the Xbox 360 on its 10 year anniversary. It has the entire first game's campaign and a multiplayer portion using the engine from Halo: Reach (we'll get to that in a moment).

If you are still interested in the story, go for Halo 2 next. It is for the original Xbox, but is also compatible with the 360 so you can play the campaign. It no longer has online multiplayer, though, so it is only good for local custom games and the campaign.

If you purchased Halo 2 you are probably interested enough in the Halo universe to continue the Master Chief's story. The next game will be Halo 3. Halo 3 is a great game and still has online multiplayer, though it is fairly sparse right now.

Note: Halo 3 will become available for free download on July 1st if you have Xbox Live Gold.

Halo 4 is the next game in line that follows the story of the Master Chief, however, there are two other games that were released between them.

Halo 3:ODST is one of these two games. It takes place during the events of Halo 2, but you play as a normal soldier rather than the Master Chief who is a Spartan. Spartans are basically supersoldiers. Normal humans who were augmented to be faster, stronger, and smarter than normal people. It is a fun game and comes with the Halo 3: ODST campaign and a second disc that contains all the multiplayer maps for Halo 3 which allows you to play Halo 3 online.

The other game is Reach. In Halo: Reach you play as a Spartan supersoldier, but not the Master Chief. This game takes places chronologically before the first Halo game, Halo: CE, but was released in 2010. It still has a decent multiplayer population, but I am not sure if is more than Halo 4.

The final game is Halo 4, the newest in the series. It follows the story of the Master Chief after Halo 3, and I believe it has the most populated multiplayer as of right now. Though, the numbers are still fairly low compared to other shooter games out there. This will be the game you will want if you are only interested in online play.

Too Long Didn't Read

If you are interested in campaign and storyline go for:

• Halo: CEA
  
  
• Halo 2
  
  
• Halo 3
  
  
• Halo 4
  
  
• Halo 3: ODST ^*
  
  
• Halo: Reach ^
  
  ^ Play these any time you want after Halo 3.
  
  If you are only interested in playing online multiplayer go for:
  
  
• Halo 4
  
  
• Halo: Reach
  
  
• Halo 3 (which will be free on July 1st!)
  
  I would recommend Halo 4 over Reach, hopefully someone will be better informed on multiplayer populations than I am.

  Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! :D

For anyone interested, I got it off Amazon where it's currently 24% off ($152.54 from $199.99). And here's a pretty good review of it I found online.

​

Also for those who might still think Mega Bloks sucks, they have come a long way and their quality has gotten a lot better and is now great. LEGO is still the gold standard especially with there being some cases where a Mega Bloks set might be missing a few pieces but Mega Bloks has improved a lot so it sucks that I don't really see any of their products in stores anymore.

My awesome cousin bought me ALL OF THE BoomCo Halo nerf guns. I am beyond elated.

No matter what you choose a headset is going to require multiple wires. For mic quality no gaming headset is going to give you good quality (and they'll give you even worse sound quality). This setup is around the same as the Astros with their mixamp and is infinitely better quality in both sound and mic along with comfort.

• Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones
  
  
• ModMic (version 4.0)
  
  
• Turtle Beach DSS2 Mixer
  
  
• Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter
  
  
• Headset Adapter
  
  If money is no option you could also get the AKG 701's which are amazing headphones.
  
  Also here's a little quality comparison with the mod mic to other headsets.
  
  People who say Astros are good don't know what good headphones actually sound like.

There is really not that much of a difference between costs of capture devices. Most 480p quality devices cost around $50 and devices that supports 720p or better quality always hang around the $200 price. I highly recommend getting an HD PVR because it's the cheapest HD device available and since they're the most common bought, you'll be able to easily find tutorials online in how to set up or fix any problems you might have

I have it as well, and love it. Even though I burned all my Halo soundtracks to MP3 format.

I believe it was this one.

I think that the posted one is cooler, looking back, but I played so much Halo three so I found it more important to have Halo 3 on the poster.

My least favourite of all halo books, just personal preference and I feel like it's easier to start on familiar territory with stuff your slightly familiar with. If I was you I would go for fall of reach to start with. Yes hell jumper is a comic book 5 part series and there are alo numerous other comic book series in the halo universe if you interested check our dark horses comics and and also this http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Collection-Brian-Michael-Bendis/dp/0785165703/ref=pd_sim_b_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ABYBE7VYFWJFXKCNM5M. When you start reading Fall of Reach or complete it plz let me know what you thought.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AVYNS7M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I love it too! :D

You can get them shipped to Aus through Amazon, I think I paid like $30 AUD total for mine.

BoomCo M6D Green

30AUD with shipping isnt that bad considering exchange rates

This sort of thing kind of exists. When my friend informed me that she was going to New York for Comic Con, I gave her $40 for her to find me something awesome to buy. She came across the boxed soundtracks from Halo 1 - 2 (both volumes) with the Halo Wars soundtrack DVD bundled in. I still have it, shrink wrapped and all.

If anyone is interested, Amazon US has it in stock from someone called Animewild. It's not eligible for Prime, though.

Ok this is dumb... In the US it's $9 but here there's a £30 and even a £40 version whaaat!!?

something liek dis?

Found this for you

Is it just a ordinary poster that is framed? If so its probably just this common poster here: http://www.amazon.com/HALO-POSTER-Dawn-RARE-24X36/dp/B005J67468/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414458092&sr=8-1&keywords=halo+3+poster . I have had the same one for around 6 years.

For those interested... the actual knife!

Should have had them price match it with Amazon. I assume you didn't want to wait for shipping from eBay

You sure can, I had to after my Xbox died on me.

Is it cracked from the center of the ring, or outside? If you keep your discs stored in the game case, it's the frequent pressure when you pull it from that knob that holds the disc in - without pressing it in it tends to weaken the plastic until it cracks. Happened to my first Reach disc too.

You can get Reach used on Amazon for $20.00: http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Reach-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA20M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343411038&sr=8-1&keywords=halo+reach

That is total bullshit.

$90 for three games? So.. I'm paying $30 for Halo CEA, Reach, and 3.

Halo 3 - $13

Halo: Reach - $14

Halo: CEA - $16

In other words, I can get the same thing for a way lower price.

EDIT: Sorry, was fooled by the $. Assumed USD. $72 is still way too much for these games.
