Why do people care about reading novels before Halo 4?
I hadn't read a Halo book in my life when I beat Halo 4. I've played every Halo game beforehowever, and I understood Halo 4 fine. The main thing people seem to bring up is "How are there evil covenant".
Well, if you have an ounce of common sense, you would know that there are different people with different personalities. We are not a hive mind. No reason all of say the Elites would be like that too. You saying "All of the Covenant are good now" is like saying "All humans are good!". There are always going to be people split off, such as terrorists. In the case of Halo 4, it's this storm faction.
Anyways, despite the fact that YOU DON"T NEED BOOK KNOWLEDGE, I don't know why you guys would be against that anyways. Do I need to remind you all of Halo 2?
If you hadn't read the book before that, you have NO idea how Chief got back to Earth, how the hell Johnson is even alive, what these weird new Aliens known as Brutes are....wow, you guys are hard on Halo 4, and you're okay with all that?
Discuss why people insist you need to read novels to understand Halo 4, and why they get so angry despite you actually needing to read the novels to understand Halo 2.

Because you do need to read the book to get the whole story on how cheif ended up at earth. [quote]how the hell Johnson is even alive[/quote] In the book it tells you how johnson is still alive from getting off the ring and surviving "the Flood", its quite the story, Johnson in his past grabbed a covnant crate of plasma grenades and killed a bunch of covnant and stuff like that, and from that many grenades he got this special kind of radiation that pretty much killed his knerves, and would shorten his life span. And from this special kind of radiation he is immune to getting infected by the flood, (explains a bunch of science stuff in the books) and then theres the whole story of how he made it off the ring, I'm not going to take the time to explain all that though.
