I keep hearing people compare the stories of halo and destiny like bungie dropped the ball so bad. But I played the first 3 halos and I don't remember the story being that compelling at all. An argument could be made for halo having better characters but the story was just as tangled and unremarkable I think. Maybe I could be wrong it's been awhile since I played them because my 360 broke not long after I got it and never bothered getting a new one. I'm just confused because I hear that this game is uncharacteristic for bungie, but I've always saw halo as having amazing gameplay and a story no one ever cared about. Edit: wow this blew up quickly I only expected 2 or 3 replies, love everyone's passion. It is quickly becoming apparent that this story meant alot more to some other people than me and my friends, and that's great maybe one day we will be having this same conversation about destiny. Edit II: extended universe does not count, I'm talking in game story. I would also make this point, the people saying the story will come together with dlc are getting tons of flak on this forum. Well I would argue those books are just non-playable expansion packs. Why weren't those archs in game if they are so important to the story.
