It is sad that the Halo story kind of sucks...

STFU! The story is the best video game story ever. It's the sole reason why I'm addicted to Halo. In fact it's the only videogame where fans froze the forums trying to work out the story of Halo 3 before it arrived.

Halo is bigger than just the 3 games. The fal of Reach book answers all of your questions. What Halo is, The background to covenant higherarchy and the twists of death. The story of Halo is only rivalled by Mass Effect.

Halo is like Star Wars. It has a massive cult following. You will always have the story haters. But the majority remember the characters, story, first time they found out what Halo was. First time they found out there are 7 Halo's. Priceless piece of gaming history.

It's kind of hard to care for a story that is hard to follow without reading the tie in novels.  It has the following it has not because of the story but because of the multiplayer.

Yeah it does have a big following for MP. But that is actually only 3.9 million I believe out of nearly 10 million that are registered as played Halo 3 online. Halo actually has the biggest following in the single player part of the game. With over 5 million people petitioned Eric Nylund ( writer of Halo books ) to make sure a fourth book about MC after Halo 3.
