The Golden Path — Optimal Walkthrough Order

  1. Start on Normal if this is your first Halo experience
  2. Follow our mission guides in order — each builds on skills from the previous
  3. Master the Magnum early — it's your most important weapon
  4. Learn enemy patterns — Halo's AI is predictable once you understand behaviors
  5. Conserve power ammo — Sniper and Rockets are precious; save them for the right moments
