My Big Dumb Recap Of Halo's Ridiculous Story

Game Informer - If you're like me, Halo's confusing plot has always taken a backseat to blasting aliens. Still, if you want a refresher before jumping into Halo 4, here's what I remember. You're welcome.

It's hardly confusing..it's quite simple although not nearly as simple as most Action games

bubblebeam4181d ago

True. If you really care about the story you will know about it. If you think it's too hard to understand you aren't a real fan IMO. You don't know Star Wars if you have only watched a couple of the movies.

If this guy thought halo was confusing, I would like to see him try to explain the metal gear solid storyline.

-Spoilers-

There's a dude in green who shoots things (presumably Native American because he's a Chief), a little blue woman (smurf?) that talks to him in his head (most likely a hallucination). A car that's named after a pig, some Covenant of religious alien things with weird lips and a floating ball that betrays you.

That's what I got out of the story so far...

Dude, Spoiler Alert.....Cheeeze.

Edit: @2.1.1 -- I was trying to be funny, which it seems like i clearly failed at.

Snookies124182d ago (Edited 4182d ago )

Haha, a spoiler alert on an article that's a recap of the story? Shouldn't one expect spoilers on a recap? XD

Halo...confusing plot??? this guy probably has trouble looking for the "any" key on his keyboard.

Its called the Call of Duty syndrome...this generation of gamers have been infected and now all they want is multiplayer with Kill Streaks and Perks :(

The Mayans predicted this epidemic and knew that the only cure is the end of the world in Dec 2012.

I don't get how this series could be confusing. Except for the spinoffs which are more or less a midquel or a sequel. I guess God of War's story is confusing for some too.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic56d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8956d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
