    Yes, often books and movies are brought up when it comes to Halo, but I don’t see the point at all. I have been shown a few “cool” or “epic” clips from the movies by Halo fans but… they looked pretty bad.

    When I get interested in getting into the weeds of some lore, it’s because the main-line (be it movies, or games) has made me interested to learn more. Halo never made me interested. Stuff just happened in cool alien environments, and it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve played a shooter with little story in cool alien environments (even from the era Halo is from… probably especially in the era Halo is from).

      Fair.

      I think I was able to deep dive into the series’ lore because I started with Halo 3, and because I was a teenager at the time. I eventually went back to play CE and 2 and they… are certainly products of their time
