GET THEM ALL!!!! Just kidding ^^^^^but ^^^^^not ^^^^^really
If you are interested in the story I would recommend getting Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary first in order to get an idea of what Halo is about. It is basically the first Halo game, Halo: Combat Evolved, but remastered for the Xbox 360 on its 10 year anniversary. It has the entire first game's campaign and a multiplayer portion using the engine from Halo: Reach (we'll get to that in a moment).
If you are still interested in the story, go for Halo 2 next. It is for the original Xbox, but is also compatible with the 360 so you can play the campaign. It no longer has online multiplayer, though, so it is only good for local custom games and the campaign.
If you purchased Halo 2 you are probably interested enough in the Halo universe to continue the Master Chief's story. The next game will be Halo 3. Halo 3 is a great game and still has online multiplayer, though it is fairly sparse right now.
Note: Halo 3 will become available for free download on July 1st if you have Xbox Live Gold.
Halo 4 is the next game in line that follows the story of the Master Chief, however, there are two other games that were released between them.
Halo 3:ODST is one of these two games. It takes place during the events of Halo 2, but you play as a normal soldier rather than the Master Chief who is a Spartan. Spartans are basically supersoldiers. Normal humans who were augmented to be faster, stronger, and smarter than normal people. It is a fun game and comes with the Halo 3: ODST campaign and a second disc that contains all the multiplayer maps for Halo 3 which allows you to play Halo 3 online.
The other game is Reach. In Halo: Reach you play as a Spartan supersoldier, but not the Master Chief. This game takes places chronologically before the first Halo game, Halo: CE, but was released in 2010. It still has a decent multiplayer population, but I am not sure if is more than Halo 4.
The final game is Halo 4, the newest in the series. It follows the story of the Master Chief after Halo 3, and I believe it has the most populated multiplayer as of right now. Though, the numbers are still fairly low compared to other shooter games out there. This will be the game you will want if you are only interested in online play.

Too Long Didn't Read
If you are interested in campaign and storyline go for:
^ Play these any time you want after Halo 3.
If you are only interested in playing online multiplayer go for:
I would recommend Halo 4 over Reach, hopefully someone will be better informed on multiplayer populations than I am.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! :D
I liked the two original Xbox games a lot, so I'd say start with Halo 3. It continues that story. or if money is no object, start at the beginning with Halo CE, which recently got an anniversary release for Xbox 360.
Not counting the RTS game Halo Wars, chronologically, Halo Reach (the most recently released new Halo game) is the beginning. I thought it was a great game, I played it quite a bit, including the multiplayer, which I imagine is still alive and well. It's worth playing, and stands pretty well by itself, since it is before the Master Chief trilogy.
What about Halo Anniversary, which has few gameplay changes (Only an unneeded kinect feature, and xbox live coop), but does have impressive graphic and sound updates, and you can switch back to the old graphics at will? On its Amazon page it's described as a remaster. https://www.amazon.com/Halo-Combat-Evolved-Anniversary-Xbox-360/dp/B0050SYY5E
It was also $40 at launch, while providing very obvious significant graphic updates. vs DSR where a lot of things you can't tell if they were updated or not, and the things that are obvious improvements, clash with the art style or the relatively low fidelity of the thing next to them.

That is total bullshit.
$90 for three games? So.. I'm paying $30 for Halo CEA, Reach, and 3.
Halo 3 - $13
Halo: Reach - $14
Halo: CEA - $16
In other words, I can get the same thing for a way lower price.
EDIT: Sorry, was fooled by the $. Assumed USD. $72 is still way too much for these games.
