Before you enrol in Halo 4's campaign, you need the following prerequisites:
- Watch the terminals.
- Read Grasslands.
- Read the Forerunner Saga novels.[/quote]
this is what i hate about the game. why should i go out of the way to read a bunch of books to understand the story of a video game?if i wasnt a halo fanatic and done research none of the story would had made any sense.[/quote]
But...I haven't read a single Halo book and I understood everything.[/quote]
Even about why we are versing the Storm, or why they formed? That's book exclusive information and it's horrible how something important in the scheme of the story is left out by 343i. Yeah, that's the only thing where you would need to read up info to understand. It should have been properly explained. The rest was fine, though. The bulk of the story.
The games don't really explain why or provide a good reason for explain why the Didact is a dick all of the sudden
No, but the Terminals do. And the Campaign does hint at it.

I feel like only half of you read the OP. He's talking about campaign, which is miles better than any previous Halo game.
The last cutscene was good, but besides that it was pretty boring.
The cutscenes were much better, Chief and Cortana actually had some depth and their characters were expanded on much more. Hell, the whole universe was expanded so much, and 343 was able to introduce a lot of new things without being too confusing (contrary to popular belief, you don't need the novels to understand the story, I haven't read a single one.)
The gameplay itself is much better. No boring, tedious levels like The Library, Cortana, or Nightfall, every mission was vastly unique with interesting new concepts and ideas, the enemies are all interesting and fun to fight, very little backtracking or repetition, plus the graphics and music kick ass.
"GO HERE, KILL THESE GUYS, PRESS THIS BUTTON! GO THERE! KILL THOSE GUYS! PRESS THAT BUTTON!"
Once you take the nostalgia goggles off, you'll realize you just described every Halo campaign ever.
