So,what was that exact moment when you realized Halo had a good run? Don't just generalize it to an entire game, make it that one moment when you said to yourself "Yeah this is -blam!-ing retarded".
For me it's when The Librarian told Chief that ends up the entire SPARTAN program was barely a human creation and it was actually the Forerunners who did everything. Also ends up Master Chief is the chosen one
God dammit 343i not everything has to be related to the forerunners, also what's wrong with making the Chief just some average but bullshit lucky SPARTAN?

When 343 Incompetencies revealed how they ruined the Master Chief's armor design and decided to ruin the perfectly good ending in Halo 3. Also when they threw in a little Mass Effect style space magic in the story.
