How can you know what the story is without having a back ground about the people in the story?

You are talking about the creators of Halo, one of the best story game series out there. If you forget everything you know about Halo, and just look a the first game, you know very little. It's not until game 2 & 3(2 and 4 years after the first game) that you get all the back story, and even then there's still more to learn. People are spoiled because most didn't have to wait for the story to develop, as they didn't play it from it's original release. They picked it up later and was able to play it back to back. If you really look, the stories are really similar in many aspects. Oh, and you don't know the name of the Covenants home planet/planets because you are never tome the name....

I never played halo ive all ways had ps4 so they wernt relivent in my ability to ditermin a poor story. Back story in games is not uncommon at all infact there less games with out one, there is no depth and no back ground information on any species/races in the game not even the humans, it is a poor story i.e explanation and making you feel attached to the characters. Were did the travaler come from? An i dont want a specualtion i want to know exactly were he came from. Even with most franchises that have 1-4 storys each one has a start/middle/end and then has a story that connects it threw the series

Correct, and this would be the start. You are asking for points that would come in the middle. Just like my example. Glad you changed your mind and see it my way, the correct way.

Im not seeing it your way i tottally disagree, knowing an aliens home planet or basic background is key to understanding the dynamic of the relationship between them all and is basic story telling. Destiny story is pathetic, only the fanboys defend it the critcs and every 1 ive talked to in game/forums and in real life have totally agrees, the story is gargbage and gameplay will only save it till a better title comes along
