When the Halo series came out, it was more than just the game itself that enthralled me. It was the universe it was set in. The books (and ilovebees.com) helped make it real. Each little comment about 'The Hog' or 'Chatters' or Reach made it a little bit more like the world we live in. It became über-realistic, a place one could almost live in, or a place you could tell stories about.
I feel that the storyline in Halo 3 should follow and add to this world. Perhaps some more forerunner technology to add some liquid-nitrogen cold chill to the plot. An ancient artifact designed to destroy the universe added fear and determination. The part of the Halo series that chills your bones, or the part that leaves you wondering just how big the universe is, should be brought-out.
This universe helps as gamers escape our own grey world, filled with nothingness, waiting for the purple-blue hues of an ancient glacier or the crisp redness of alien armor.
