The story is truely incredible. Easily the best in a FPS EVER.
The only thing with Halo is if you really want to experience how phenominal it is you have to read all the MANY various stories. Much of the info for the story is in the novels and hidden inside the games for the truely hardcore players to find. The actual story told in the games of Master Chief, Cortana and massive war between the UNSC and Covenant is amazing but its all the massive layers that are hidden under the surface. The reaons the war is being fought, why the Halo rings are so damn important, just what exactly the Forerunners did, and the undying pest and galaxy consuming force that is The Flood.
Halo really is unprecedented in terms of story depth in video games even massively over any RPG out there its just it takes really dedicated fans to fully experience the universe. If you'd like a good start read the stuff I have up right now in the OP and I'll be adding more all the time.
