So I've listened to Jeff talk about how the story in Reach is stronger than some of the other games, read a bunch of articles on IGN and G4 talking about how the Halo Trilogy's story is confusing as hell and Reach's plot is developed better, and I can't help but think that these people are CRAZY. Then I run into this wonderful post on HBO by an actual fan of Halo who I feel understands the story of the Halo games as I do. Granted, this stuff may not resonate the same way for everyone, but I can't help wanting to share this with the people who, like myself, are really frustrated by the descriptions of the Halo Trilogy's story in the aforementioned articles. Here's the link to the post on HBO:
