The Halo series actually has a large and very immersing universe surrounding its games. There is also a successful novels series follow/extending the Halo Universe. The notion that Halo 4 might have a bad story should be more a shock then it having a good story. Ofc this is all up to opinion, but the novel's extensive success should speak for themselves.

Anytime I'm flying, if I can't find an interesting book in the book store, I buy a cheap piece of easy to read entertainment. More often than not, it ends up being one of the extended Halo universe books. They're short enough they can be finished in a flight and the lore is genuinely interesting. ... the writing is garbage, but hey, it's pulp fiction.

While I enjoy the novels, I think the story embedded in the game speaks for itself. Check out the massive story page on the halo.bungie.org website, there are pages and pages and pages of speculations from avid fans about this or that in the story. http://halostory.bungie.org/ http://halostory.bungie.org/

  I agree 100%. I simply brought up the novels because they speak solely to the stories success where there is a large portion of people who play the games solely for the multiplayer without giving any attention to the campaign/story aspect of the game. & as such it could be argued that just because the game is success doesn't mean there is a good story. An example of this would be the COD:MW series of games, which most ppl would say that story is horrible(i actually simi enjoy them).

I was gutted when Bungie was bought by MS. It was the end of the Marathon series which was a killer Mac game. Story, puzzle, action (that grenade launcher, dual shotguns...). I have never played Halo, but if it carried on anything like the experience Marathon had I really should.

  I think Bungie deciding to no longer make Marathon games killed the Marathon series. By the time they were bought by MS they already moved on to other genres with games like Myth, Myth 2, and Oni. Plus, Halo was in development for years before they got bought.
