Exactly! That probably has to be my only gripe with Halo. Alot of what makes the story deep and interesting isn't fully fleshed out. Take my avatar. I'm amazed at how many people DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS!

In fact alot of people here seem to be very clueless on a number of other Halo elements. They don't know what MJOLNIR is, or ONI, or even ODSTs (frighteningly even though there is a game called ODST they're still in the dark). And they sure as hell don't know what Master Chief's name is. :?

i can't see your avatar clearly enough on my screen to figure out what it is, i'm assuming i can make out an eagle, so i'll guess the Spartan II insignia. did i get it right? if not what is it?

I've actually been in a Star Wars argument like that. It was hilarious.

If people would just go into some other forms of media to find out more about the universe and story, they'd love it. Truly, how anyone who has ever played a Halo doesn't know what MJOLNIR is or ODSTs are, just don't deserve to play it. Also, how hard is it to remember United Nations Space Command Defense Force? If you can't remember that, at least remember United Nations Space Command.

Exactly, most people take one look at Halo and pass it off as space marines fighting the big bad aliens, but if you look a bit deeper, you realize what the story is actually about.

And this is why no one believes when people say that Halo has an amazing story. Read the books and they'd see how deep the story really is.

People should at least take the effort to learn his name. His name isn't Master Chief. He's Master Chief Petty Officer of the UNSC Navy John-117; Spartan-II Commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. Or, you could just say John. That's simpler.

And the Halo Universe and Story. Epic failure.

If you don't like FPS games go back to playing animal crossing and the other games you enjoy.

Same here. I'm not a full fledged halo fan, but I'm trying. I still need to try Halo Wars, ODST, and finish reading the books.

Exactly. I"m sure if I posted his name on a random Halo thread I'd have about a hundred responses say, "Who the hell is that? Master Chief is teh beastlist!!! Tis dud canot stand up to teh mighty power of teh Chief!!!!"

Right. I do this with all other series as well. I can't call myself a fan unless I dwelve into every inch of its mythos.SpiritOfFire117

Which saddens me. If they'd cover it more in the games, then maybe there would be less Halo bashers. Also, Epic needs to follow this example and flesh out the very promising storyline that is Gears of War.

It takes a completely dedicated Star Wars fanatic to go through each and every bit of Star Wars history. I'm not that into anything.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Imo, it's one of the main reasons people bash the series' story. It requires a lot of extra effort on the part of an interested party to get anywhere. It's a good story, they just don't really cover all that much of it the actual games.Phoenix534

I'm thinking of reading the Gears novels, but I want to read the Halo ones and finish the first two Gears games before I do. I also need to read the Mass Effect novels. I was so caught up in Death Note that I completely lost track of my novel reading. Damn the Japanese and their incredible manga!

Multiplayer is a HUGE reason man.

Whats so gerat about COD without multiplayer.

A lot of people could give a crap about campaigns especially for FPS's.

Multiplayer is what gives game longevity.

I dare say that back in COD1 and 2, the SP blows the MP out of the water.

There is. And a third novel, Anvil Gate, releasing March 30(according to Amazon). Well, I'd love to continue this conversation, but I have school tomorrow and I really need some sleep. Talk to you later.

It's an alright game. Good, but not the best like everyone praises it to be.

The books are also good, I've read all of them except Fall of Reach.
