This is one of my favorite games. I played it back years ago when I was kid with my xbox 360. I can't really explain what I love about it. It's just a super fun game that has infinite replayability, at least for me. I would easily recommend this game.

All those late-night 3v3's will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to Last online 9 years ago . Rest in peace, golden age of Xbox Live

all the "Halo" games, including main titles, spin-offs, and major expansions, in order according to the in-universe timeline is a more complex task due to the extensive lore and the different time periods each game covers. Here's an attempt to order them as accurately as possible based on the timeline of the "Halo" universe: Halo Wars (2009) - Set in 2531, this real-time strategy game predates the events of the original "Halo" trilogy. Halo: Reach (2010) - Occurring in 2552, this game narrates the fall of the planet Reach, leading directly into the events of "Halo: Combat Evolved." Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (2011) - The first game in the series, set in 2552 immediately following the events of "Halo: Reach." Halo: Fireteam Raven (2018) - An arcade game that takes place alongside the events of "Halo: Combat Evolved." Halo 2 (2004)/Halo 2: Anniversary (part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, 2014) - Starting in 2552 and concluding in early 2553, this game picks up right after "Halo: Combat Evolved." Halo 3: ODST (2009) - Set during the events of "Halo 2" in 2552, focusing on a different set of characters, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Halo 3 (2007) - Continuing the story, this game takes place immediately after "Halo 2," spanning late 2552 into early 2553. Halo: Spartan Assault (2013) - Set between the events of "Halo 3" and "Halo 4," around 2554. Halo 4 (2012) - Taking place in 2557, four years after the events of "Halo 3." Halo: Spartan Strike (2015) - Occurs in 2557, parallel to "Halo 4." Halo 5: Guardians (2015) - Set in 2558, following the events of "Halo 4." Halo Wars 2 (2017) - Although released later, the game's story is set in 2559, shortly after "Halo 5: Guardians." Halo Infinite (2021) - The latest installment, set in 2560, continuing the story from "Halo 5: Guardians." This list aims to be comprehensive but note that the "Halo" universe is vast, with its storylines extending into novels, comics, and other media, which are not included in this list. The games' timeline can be complex, with overlapping events and expansive lore.
