'Haloring' is a really bad name for a thread but I kinda wish it weren't. Please, Prequeldome was closed for a reason.

Oh, and the music is in the top tier of all videogame music ever. I love Cortana, I love Johnson, I LOOOOOOOOVE the Arbiter, I love that ODST is a Firefly cast reunion in the way Gargoyles was for Star Trek TNG, I love that team of doofuses on Reach so much I bought the collectors edition so I could have their dumb team statue, and I even love John Halo and his character that's should be nothing but his voice actor did so much to make iconic. I love the dirtbag villains that are the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI! I understood that reference, said 18 year old me!) and how they can't stop conniving and manipulating and assassinating even when mankind is on the brink of doom. I love the Spartans and how their horrific past as a crypto-fascist government bio-weapon program that involved kidnapping and murder to create the ultimate jackboot enforcers gave way to a higher purpose as the heroes of humanity. I love everything about the Covenant, all their races and stories and internal politics and tech. Something about taking the traditional story of Scrappy Humans fighting a space war against Technologically Superior Aliens and having it slam face-first into this grand cosmic mystery about an ancient progenitor race and the super-tech they left behind after their losing effort to check a zombie apocalypse that neither side of the space war is equipped to deal with is so intoxicating to me. Odst was good as hell but it was the last one i played I'm led to believe that Reach is pretty good and 4/5 are not-so-good, but I only played 1/2/3. Oh wait this is another thread i can get mad about prequels in, isn't it Josh04 is contractually obligated to post in this thread
