One day I was reading my seventh Halo novel and I thought to myself, "Wow, these books aren't bad. It's a shame that people who haven't played the video games can't fully understand them." And that's when it hit me: why not make a detailed plot synopsis of every core Halo game along with providing visuals for everything that could use one? That way people could enjoy the Halo saga without having to play the games. Hence this website.
You'll also find a page here that organizes every story-containing Halo product that has been released so far, providing a helpful reference for how to wade your way through the Halo universe.

Note #1: The core Halo games are (so far) self-contained as a series, meaning they do not require knowledge of the novels, comics, or movies to fully enjoy. But the opposite is not true!
Note #2: There are indeed other Halo games aside from the core ones. These are, at present, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo Wars, and Halo: Spartan Assault. While ODST and Reach were major productions compared to the others, they're all still just side-stories and not essential to enjoying anything else in the Halo saga beyond them. (In fact, Halo: Reach and the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, published many years before Halo: Reach was released, have some troubling disagreements.)
Note #3: It's best to skip the novel Halo: The Flood. It's a novelization of Halo: Combat Evolved, and most critics and fans didn't like it. It altered the Master Chief's personality and it was just battle after battle after battle. Either play the game or read my detailed plot synopsis below. (It's not really the author's fault, he was just working with what he was given and also following orders.)
