4 was the most braindead, straight-forward plot, with a literal exposition dump in the middle, and it still hit like a punch in the gut for fps bros.
>who's the didact?! bad forerunner
>who's the librarian?! good forerunner
>what's a promethean?! not robots
>what's a composer?! copy/paste laser
>what's rampancy?! ai dementia (this is where bungie bros act like they give a shit about rampancy despite the fact it only showed up in Marathon games - bungie lore wasn't put in books, right bros?)

Still makes me laugh seeing bungie glazers throwing a shitfit about lore when bungie themselves didn't give two shits about consistency. Johnson somehow survived (classified, wink-wink), up to Halo 3 Chief was THE last spartan (it was on the fucking case), ancient forerunner tech was on Earth the whole time and no one knew, the fucking ark being retarded all around, Truth going from 2 to 3, Miranda going from 2 to 3, Spark suddenly has a laser, Arbiter becoming a sidekick, the fucking ai conspiracy in Reach, pretty much the entirety of Reach (ha ha, what Cole protocol?).

343 is shit, but goddamn people act like they crucified Halo and while refusing to watch bungie teabag the franchise.
