I also stopped reading at Ghosts of Onyx.

Are the newer forerunner ones at least better than that dogshit "Halo:The Flood" God that book made me rage.

Not on XBL, but I do love the halo campaign (have always coop campaign with my brother on linked Xbox systems since coop campaign was available) and have purchased every new Halo after 3 on release day. Magnum is awesome, best it's ever been!? Shotgun is meh, DMR is really nice as is the battle rifle and sniper rifle, Rocket launcher...now that's what it should have been like from the beginning! Not overly impressed with the Promethean weaponry, other than the light rifle and incinerator...the incinerator is awesome when you have it and scary when the the Knight has it! I still like Reach better as far as campaign storyline/layout. Halo 4 comes close though. halo 4 really falls short in the air vehicle missions to me though... and in general the Banshees are a real pain now (the single most cause of deaths, probably accounting for 50% of them)

Really like the sound design though...best of all the halos and very detailed. Warthog sounds awesome - incredibly mean and powerful compared to previous iterations. And when firing the fuel rod canon, the sound it makes now is pretty neat with all the detail compared to before - same with the scorpion; you hear the round chamber, then fire, and plasma exit. For reference i play with high quality reference headphones with the audio running through receiver.

"The Flood" is regarded as one of the worst. I personally enjoy The Forerunner Trilogy. It's written by Greg Bear who's written a lot of well regarded Sci-Fi. The first novel follows a forerunner, the 2nd follows a human, and I don't know about the 3rd. That will get released in March.

There's also Glasslands and The Thursday War. That series is a sequel to Onyx and is the first post UNSC/Covenant War novel. It sets-up the events of Halo 4. Like why there's a new covenant, how the Infinity got there, e.t.c.

Did you know MechWarrior Online beta just came out for PC? It's free to play. Big names from the original like Atlas and Catapult are in it.

- As for the story line...wow i didnt get anything you guys are ranting about with the DNA..i was more involved in the relationship and dialog with Cortana and MC to care much about forerunners.

They are trying to open up the psycho/social environment of the heroism of MC to plant into the next game. Like most comic book superheros, there is one point in a hero's backstory which they hit rock bottom before they become the hero they are suppose to be.

MC may have already saved the universe once, but we arn't emotionally connected to him like we would with Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne.

I think putting some soul into the story was a great decision and it had a great direction. The rest was fluff to push events forward honestly, i mean common..the main antagonist wasn't even a boss battle.

I beat the game on legendary, best halo game i think. Loved the ending, well done on 343. The legendary ending is awesome only though it has one difference compared to the rest.

Anyone up for Spartan Ops?

I just finished the campaign and thought it was very good. And the cut scenes are probably the best I've ever seen in a game too.

I'll be on today, under Victorious17.
