No we aren't going to agree. I thought the story was fine. I am eager for more and hoping for a book to delve deeper into the universe. I don't think you can say though that many people aren't satisfied with the story as well. Those that are unhappy are always the most vocal, that's why so much of the forum recently is people bitching about the DLC because they didn't buy it. There are plenty of people that are happy with the game, are still playing it like crazy, but avoid the forums. I personally avoid the Halo forums despite how much I love the series because of some of the people on them. I just feel a need to defend that there is a story. Maybe you don't think it's good enough or it was too open ended, but the story is there.
