First 4 were okay but Cole Protocol and Contact Harvest were god awful. Will have to give it a looksee.
The Halo novels are pretty much the only books I've read in a long time that managed to really entertain me, so I'll probably be reading this.
Yeah for me the opening cutscene in halo 3 just pissed me off... their was SO much unexplained backstory that could of made the Halo games SO much better... and that cutscene was just terribly indicative of how the games almost blatantly ignored everything to that effect.
You look at all the non-game literature versus the videogames... and its just sad.

I'd agree that Halo 3 starts off with a very uninformative cutscene which most people would misinterpret.
"The one thing Halo 2 and Halo 3 did horribly wrong was the story. Rather, the lack of story."
You forgot Halo 1. Of the three, Halo 2 had the best story (not that it was great or anything), with the two perspectives playing off each other.

Eh, I liked how Halo 1 presented the story. Just throw you in, big mystery and learn about it as you go.
I'm with Hamza.
God I hope Reach is heavy on plot. If it isn't I think I'll lose faith in the series entirely. Although ODST did at least try. I'll give them that.

Spoiler: the Humans win.
Also I agree with Hamza, the fun of Halo 1's story is it didn't try to throw any number of subplots at you and interfere much with the gameplay. It was simple but mysterious with side comments that some characters made like Guilty Spark 343 and Cortana.

I got Fall of Reach for free,someone just kind of ran off and left it along with Need for Speed Underground 2.
Love the Halo novels, at least the ones written by Eric N. I think what MS and 343 is horrific, they are taking one of my most beloved games and are holding it down while taking turns gang raping it. I really can't ponder it for too long, I find myself getting worked up.
Another nod for how good the books are. The last one (Cole Protocol) has to be the worst of the bunch, it might just be me though, didn't like the new authors style of writing. I'd highly recommend reading "The fall of Reach" though, before the new Halo Reach comes out and ruins how good it is
Actually, I think all the Halo games had a decent story. Jam them all together movie-style and it's not that bad.
Anyway, Karen Traviss is my jam.

"I highly recommend that any Halo fan should at least read the first Halo novel, The Fall of Reach. If that doesn't do it for you, then I don't know, go play Modern Warfare II or something."
Haha. Love it. CoD games are fun as shit to play but they have about as much personality as a loaf of bread.

Gosh, I despised Fall of Reach. Cliche after cliche, and battles that sounded like a technical reference. But Nylund's books progressively got a little better until they were tolerable.
If you play through the Marathon series or just read the plot, the story there was awesome. It's sci-fi nerd awesome, but at least it's not 6th-grade level. For that reason the books really let me down, even if I felt compelled to read 'em.

Ural-Altaic languages are well suited to the use of syllabaries, as can be seen in Japanese Katakana script.
