i think halo infinite should be lore friendly however I don’t think you should have to know the lore in order to understand the story. halo 1-3 you could understand without having to get into extended law however h5’s story line was hard to follow if you were not into the extended lore
The thing is when Bungie ran things, they wanted the books and games to be seperate story bubbles so one didn’t depend on the other. Wasn’t a bad idea but it made it hard for Halo enthusiast (like me) to carry a conversation about Halo to my other online peeps back in the day. 343 Industries likes to integrate the lore more into the games which I personally like since it brings out the stronger sci-fi charm from the books in my opinion.

Im saying the law shouldnt be intergrated but im saying you should be able to understand what the story is without having to read all the books
A story should be entertaining in its own right. Sometimes, a story’s entertainment is hindered by demanding - from its audience - knowledge of prior story elements. That’s mostly okay if the story is an ongoing serial, like movies or a TV show. But if the story medium (in Halo’s case: games) demands you consume elements from other media like books or comics, then it throws up a hurdle for the audience. If the game’s story doesn’t assume you have knowledge of those books or comics, then that seems fine by me.

I agree. I also don’t want to have to play other Halo games to understand what’s going on, or watch videos on Youtube to bring me up to speed. I’m confident Halo Infinite won’t require knowledge from other forms of media. 343i have stated that Halo Infinite is a spiritual reboot that will be good for veterans and easy for newcomers to join.
