Halo 2? Really? Did everyone forget that Halo 2's campaign completely derailed and muddled the Halo story? Riding the giant space potato, swimming with the reject from The Little Shop of Horrors, a final battle that ripped off Donkey Kong (navigating platforms to rescue an ugly, inept princess from a monkey), and an ending so abrupt and incomplete that calling it a cliffhanger is insulting to actual cliffhanger endings. These are not highlights to be praised.
You're implying that before Halo 2, it really had a story. CE was a standalone, because with the destruction of the Flood, Halo, the death of virtually everyone, and little explanation on the Covenant, CE in no way shaped the universe we know now. Halo 2 did.
I'm assuming the character development, heavy religious allegories (please do note Arbiter's crucifixtion/rebirth and that the Gravemind looked like a giant infected snake), and overall universe expansion went completely over your head.
Opinions, we've all got them, but please support your opinion with valid reasons.
