I wish someone would make a plot that go in depth about how the Didact united the prometheans and the Storm Covenant, Cortana only mentions this but does not explain. Jul did go looking for the Didact, hoping that he could help him in defeating humankind ever since ONI killed his wife, imprisoned him on Onyx and plotted to devastate the Sangheili.
This is all explained in the novels. Halo 4's plot doesn't need to be changed, when connected to all the other fictional sources it's grounded in going back to IRIS pre-Halo 3, it's easily the best in the series.
To be honest, I think the plot of each numbered Halo has fallen a bit flat in the last few levels. Certainly Halo 3 never lived up to the enormity of what it promised to be, and 4 felt a bit lacklustre with its 'research station being attacked by the Covenant', followed by, suddenly, we're at Earth and fighting for our direct survival. There wasn't any buildup there, and it felt forced as a result.
And don't anyone start talking about needing to read novels to understand the game. Without citing Contact Harvest, tell me Truth's motivation for wanting to destroy humanity. Without citing Uprising, tell me about what happened between Halo 2 and 3 that led to Johnson, Thel and the Chief ending up on Earth. Without citing Ghosts of Onyx, tell me why it was necessary for the Elites to join with humanity after Halo 2. Without citing The Fall of Reach, tell me what happened before Halo CE before Wars and Reach were released 8/9 years later. Without citing First Strike, tell me how Johnson survived, how John made it back to Earth, and how the Covenant discovered its location.
It's been so long since I read any of the original trilogy books... could you tell me about these things? XD
