Not really, you bubbleheaded retard.  Try actually reading the thread or getting off that moronic fadboyistic high horse of yours.  Halo is the next pokemon, many people liked it, now there are many people hating on it.  Your only supporting the hate with your comment.

Glad to see a true fanboy who can give answers.  Indeed, the combined concept of the old "space parasites" idea and the old "Zombie parasite" idea works well.  Plus, it allows to gives high level of understanding with the story.  However, it really isn't all that unique.  Not trying to be too critical, but I have actually seen this formula used once in a black and white scifi horror film.  Good movie imo, despite the obviously craptastic costume.  Also, there was more of a brain control thing than a zombie thing.

However, it further supports my opinion of the Covenant's back story.  The possibility of them fighting dirty with germ warfare and being an alien race that is offensive towards humans
because they want to be the dominant force.  It is all said there.  It's really not that original, just alot of old, nearly forgotten material.

I'll read the wiki further to see if I am wrong in anyway.  I want to see if there is something ultra original with the story or if alot of what is said from one and two is misleading.  After all, another possibility could be that the covenant actually attacked the humans because the humans accidentally, or purposely in a stupid way, released long dormant Flood cells.  The latter story is possible when thinking about that one ending on Halo 2.

Well, read through quite a bit on the Flood.  I was both right and wrong in my assumptions.  Though, it is kind of making the game look less like following the story right.  I mean, If the Covenant, Humans, and the Flood really are having a three way fight, then it makes no sense for the Covenant to be so focused on fighting the Humans, despite the presence of the Flood.  And the suits the Covenant wear don't seem to be well enough to protect against the Flood, if the Flood can physically infect.  Then again, perhaps I should read further into what happened in the gas mines to get the answer.

This is the fun part of determining if a game's single player is good.  The disection of everything that the hype of a popular one is built on.

So far, the story seems far less interesting than even the mildly interested people I talked to have mentioned.  I'll be back much later, since it looks like there is alot to read.
