[quote]Halo 4's campaign was irritatingly reliant on people having read the books[/quote] In some ways, yes it was. And you know what? The part of me that is so embittered about Bungie's treatment of Halo 3 and Reach as far as story goes is [i]glad[/i] that the people who complained so much about Halo 2's story being hard to follow got the middle finger with Halo 4. Lore fans such as myself got it enough with 3 and Reach, since Bungie catered [i]too much[/i] to what the uneducated part of their fanbase complained about, and it was about time that those people were given the well-deserved and overdue smack round the face.
