So I’m starting to play the campaign of Halo 4 but never played the older Halo’s but I do have them even Anniversary. Do you guys recommend playing them first or just go play Halo 4 and finish them after that?
Might as well breeze through the older ones, but Halo 4 is still likely going to have some plot points that will confuse you unless you’ve read the several books too. But you might be one of those people who can just get things without any prior research.
But still, I’d play the older games first. It will at least get you used to Halo 4’s controls as you go from CEA to Reach to Halo 4.
Looks like a good place to -Yoink!- this out.
I have filmed a playthrough of all canonical Halo games (Normal difficulty, no deaths except for a few editing -Yoink!--ups that slipped through the cracks here and there).
Halo Chronicles: The Entire Halo Series in Watchable Form
Season 1 = Halo Combat Evolved (Halo 1)
Season 2 = Halo 2
Season 3 = Halo 3
Season 4 = Halo 3 ODST
Season 5 = Halo Wars
Season 6 = Halo Reach
Season 7 = Halo Forward Unto Dawn
Season 8 = Halo 4
Season 9 = Spartan Ops
Find this terminal right at the beginning of the campaign, it should explain everything you should know about the Halo series so far apart from what’s explained in the books:

Oh, ok.
You’re gonna get very confused at the level Reclaimer, btw, like everyone that didn’t read “Halo Cryptum”.
I’m gonna spoil it for you if you let me so you can understand that cutscnee:
130,000 years ago, humans and Forerunners were powerful and advanced civilizations.
The Forerunners, guardians of the “Mantle” (their religion, they consider themselves to be the guardians of every living being) attack humanity after a suden invasion of Forerunner territory.
The Forerunners start a war with humanity and degrade humans to “monkeys” again (they evolve again to the state they are now in the story).
They then discover the humans invaded fleeing from something… the Flood. And humans were the only ones who kept the secret to stop them. Now reverted to a primal status, that secret can’t be known again and the Forerunners run out of possibilities.
They decide to use the Halo array to kill every living being that might be food for the Flood. This plan is supported by the Librarian, the Didact’s wife.
The Didact wants to use humans (he hates them) to fight the Flood. (this is explained in the campaign, so ain’t telling you the details).
His wife stops him and puts him inside Requiem as punishment.
They fire the Halos, every sentient lifeform is destroyed, the robots of the Librarian repopulate the world.
