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.

The end of Halo 2 shows you how he got back to Earth. Sure there are extra details in the graphic novel thing, but you still know how he got there. [quote]how the hell Johnson is even alive,[/quote]Back then it was just assumed he was a stereotype of a military guy. Generic- like there were multiples of him. [quote]what these weird new Aliens known as Brutes are[/quote]Brutes are aliens in the Covenant. You didn't need to read 'Contact Harvest' to know that Elites are bad guys. :/ [quote] Well, if you have an ounce of common sense, you would know that there are different people with different personalities.[/quote]At the end of Halo 3, we have the entirety of the Elite hierarchy siding with humans making a pact of peace. It is implied in the game that the Arbiter then takes control where the Prophets used to be and humanity and Covenant live happily ever after. Then we move to Halo 4 where there aren't just a couple Covenant that still hate us, but an entire Armada with the sole intent of killing us and worshiping the Gods that their entire race acknowledged were false. Saying 'oh people have different opinions' doesn't change how massive a hole that is.
