Subject: Ok,so the story is quite confusing

(that sounds -blam!- but i like it)

Well,halo's story can be quite confusing,obvious,predictable,and illogical sometimes,because lets face it,it wassn't that good.

And IMO the games got a bit horrible on halo 3,i mean,halo 1 was VERY awesome,well,halo 2 had a much better story,better way to tell it,and some more awesome features,halo 3's story was confusing,sometimes stupid,and it was loaded with americanism,confusing slaying of enemies without no aparent reason,and there WAS a reason,but the story was sooooo bad,that you would sometimes instead of thinking or anything,you would just say:TAKE THAT YO -blam!- BRUTE! without ANY reason at all.

Halo 3 was better recognized and admired by its great and complicated multiplayer,with the cinema and forge features it could sustent without any add ons for ages,keeping people entertained forever,the campaign was lacking,but i had never seen multiplayer like that,of course,until halo:reach.

ODST,ok we know it,i diddn't thought it was so horrible,it was quite good,just that it was sooooo small,that it wassn't worth what i paid,also,i live in méxico,in the US,a dollar has the personal value of a dollar,in Mex,a dolar has the personal value that like...6 dolars would be for an american,so i kind of spent A LOT more than a regular american because i really love halo,and well REACH came,the and it was perfect imo,no need to comment on this one,i bought limited edition just because i thought legendary was a waste of money,if it had been cheapor,im almmost sure i would have gotten the legendary edition.

so yeah,what do you think,do you agree that halo's story is good,but sometimes gets confusing,borinng,all the stuff listed up there,and that halo 3 was rather...well....dumb?

Halo 3 was americanist crap all along,halo reach was a new story and wassn't loaded with some of the stupd things halo 3 had,most people like that crap,as simple as that

btw:im not saying all halo 3 is crap,or that i don't like it,i still think it was very good,but well,the campaign got some very stupid,nonsense moments :P

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Can you explain to us what "Americanist crap" is? Because I have no idea what that is, especially in a game about shooting aliens and zombies. That takes place in Africa. And Space.

Lolwut. Halo 3s story wasn't really confusing. It was pretty simple (Stop Truth and save Cortana) and how the frak was it loaded with Americanism? Might have to explain that one because it seems a few people here obviously aren't seeing it.

You were trying to save the galaxy. You had to kill things to reach that goal. Seems like a pretty clear reason to me.

Op, you actually thought that Halo 3 sucked and Halo: Reach was perfect game?

It must be something wrong with your malfunctioning brain... You don't realize that Reach had large canon-breaking storyline; wrong timeline, dark atmosphere? More like a small skirmish. And many things in reach are impossible achieve like PoA at the package, supercarrier being not destroyed instantly due to lack of UNSC fleet and ODPs, and impossiblity of cloaking of supercarrier while Reach is entirely military FORTRESS...

Americanism crap in halo 3? Lolwut? What are you talking about? There's no Americanism crap, it's simple story where you have to kill alien bastards that's hell-bent on eliminating humanity race.

Oh, yeah one more thing- If your first language isn't english, I might excuse your poor grammar, if it's...

By all means, do proper English grammar so we can understand your arguments.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

I think this post fits nicely into the general direction this forum is heading.

If your a good gunner, got a mic, and need a driver, then I'm your wheelman.

All of the game stories work just fine. Halo CE, 2, and 3 go together, ODST is its own game, and so is Reach. If you can see it this way then it won't bother you. Compare them constantly and you'll never be happy.

ODST,ok we know it,i diddn't thought it was so horrible...because i really love halo,and well REACH came,the and it was perfect imo




Ding! Ding! Ding!

You've made it apparent that you have cognitive dissonance.
You dislike Halo 3 for its poor story, which is a valid criticism, but then SOMEHOW manage to glorify Reach's AND ODST's terrible stories.

This is the second thread he's made saying how bad the story in H3 sucked. Why? I still have no clue.

It wasn't as good as Halo 2's, but it was definitely better then that pile of garbage that was Reach. You say Halo 3 was illogical, but say Reach was perfect? You're either trolling or have no clue how to tell a story.

ODST has the best story in the series, everything about it was told perfectly. Plus Sadie's Story is one of the best things to happen to Halo, everything in it from the art to the voice acting, sound effects and plot was masterfully tied into the main storyline.

Story? All you did was roaming around and trying to find your teammates who in flashbacks were also just roaming around trying to find an exit. The only actual plot point was the Covenant dig...which wasn't even the main feature, but an engineer who had knowledge that we already knew about in Halo 3. I've seen fanfiction written better...

As much as I like ODST I kinda have to disagree with you about it having the best story. There really wasn't much of a story, it felt like the story was only really introduced in the last level and felt rather rushed. It certainly wasn't bad but it just didn't feel executed properly.

It certainly had the best characters and characterizations, but I think the best story for the Halo games would have to go to Halo 2.

  • 05.28.2011 5:05 PM PDT

In all fairness, Reach had excellent narrative. Maybe this guy just doesn't know anything about the Halo canon.

But yeah, Reach was FAR from perfect, though. In short:

Halo: Reach -> Halo: Retcons

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I do not understand what "Americanism" was present in Halo 3. You are defending the planet from aliens. It doesn't even take place in America.

Our big green style, cannot be defeated!

The story is confusing because of the games. In Halo Wars, they made up stupid vehicles like the Vampire, the Locust, the Gremlin. So now they have to fit those in the storyline. Alone with the crew of the Spirit of Fire.
That ODST squad in Halo 3 ODST didn't exist, but you can assume that ODST squads were sent down like that. So that doesn't really mess up the story.
Reach is the worst part about it though. I love multiplayer, but 343 screwed up so bad. You gotta hate the new owners. They ruined the campaign & story. The Pillar of Autumn is in Space, & Master Chief is in Space as well. There were no Spartan IIIs on Reach & nobody needed to get Cortana to the Autumn. Dr. Halsey handed Cortana to the Chief herself.
You have to read the books, they're more accurate. & Don't listen to people who say the books are wrong & the games are right. All the games from Halo 1 to Halo 3 & ODST are correct about the stroyline. Wars & Reach ruined it, that's why they or whoever said it said that the Games override the books.
Yet the Bungie logo is on the back of all the books.
