"Combat in "Halo 4" is more strategic than the hard-charging style we've come to know from previous "Halo" games"

So you have to duck and recharge your infinite health more often?

guns are very key, you run out of ammo if you play like before, and die alot faster

Nawww... I had not turned on my 360 in months (I am pretty strictly a PC gamer), so I took it in a few weeks ago, and traded it, with all my games, on a WiiU Deluxe bundle pre-order. With all the games, I ended up with a 'free' WiiU, and 2 games. So no Halo 4 for me. I haven't really been a fan of the series since Halo 2. Reach was alright I guess. But I prefer Battlefield 3 for my online killing.

I just beat the campaign. I loved it. Graphics are amazing, storyline is incredible, and gameplay fucking rocks. You really do have to be more tactical on this one- "run 'n' gun" just won't work.

To be fair, I love this franchise. With the glaring exception of ODST, I think all the games are worthwhile (Reach included). This is actually the only game I've ever pre-ordered.

I've never played any of the Halo games, but it has always looked interesting.
I do have a friend's Xbox on extended loan. If I were to try out Halo, where should I begin?

Xbox or Xbox 360? If Xbox, I'd go with the obvious and start with the first Halo: Combat Evolved (expect to be underwhelmed by the graphics, which were cutting edge 10 years ago).

If Xbox 360, you could start with Halo: CE Anniversary Edition and see the original game with an updated look. Halo: Reach would be a good place to start as well, it being a prequel in terms of storyline. Any of the others would bring you in in the middle of the story, which could be annoying.

Of course, if you don't have an opportunity to play the multiplayer side, you'll only be seeing half or less-than-half of what made the game such a hit in the first place.

Halo: CE and Halo 2 were released for the PC, the first for XP and the second for Vista. Don't know how they run on a current OS.

It's an Xbox360 (but an early model), and thanks for the recommendations.

If you need a copy of the games, I think I have the first one for 360... I did an impulse buy and ordered another XBox. We don't live that far from you now, so you're free to come borrow it.

Edit: Borrow the game, I mean, since you have an XBox on loan.
