What the freak? You people say halo has a storyline?

After beating halo 3, i must say, i still barely even understand what the point in all of it was. Halo 3, has got to have one of the worser storylines in FPS's. Seriously, play Half-life, play portal, play Half-life 2 and its incredible episodes, play Prey for god's sakes, you'll actually have an attachment with the characters and environment. I felt very dissapointed at the end of halo 3. Am i the only one that feels this way?

Here is flame shield*

arguements i've heard against this are usually backed by the books that i guess everyone should have read.(according to those who argue pro halo's story)

but thats stupid imo

Ending was abrupt, cryptic, and strange. Is that good?dhjohns

The ending is the only thing I really like in the storyline it came out of no where not the whole saving the world but everything else.

For the TC most games don't have good storylines it is an added bonus(or a super bonus for HL2:P)

Yes, it does. Is it a great one? No. But it's better than go through levels completely meaninglessly.DarthMar

Doom Classic FTW!!!

Doom had a story! Space Marine needs to kill enemies. Bam, cla$$ic story. :P

It does have a story but Halo strong point is not the story.

I think the gameplay and it is online feature are what made Halo a great game.

Don't forget that the marine does go to hell that was the BIG turning point that changed up the gameplay.;)

Part of me really likes Halo's story, while the other part of me agrees with you that after the first Halo the storyline became increasingly difficult to follow. Personally I have an attachment to Master Chief, but this is more likely due to the books that it is to the Halo storyline. The book that got me hooked was the one that explored how the Spartans were chosen and created, but to each his own.

So true. Religion to boot!!

Halo has no story what so ever.

I have 3 points to make.

1. You couldn't understand the Halo 3 story? Are you serious, a simple, not very complex story and you had difficulty understanding it? Intelligent much? (if you haven't played the first two, boo hoo, why did you expect to understand the third in the trilogy)
2. Worser? What does that even mean?
3. Mentioning prey is so ridiculous i actually laughed. Prey has such a terrible story, with one of the worst main characters ever. When his girlfriend died, i really didn't care at all. When his grandfather died, again, no emotion. The only good thing about that game was the gameplay.
