Alpha Halo is actually a kind of a weird place to first throw us into the war in retrospect. The ancient ringworld was as new to us as the UEG and the Covenant were, let alone the war they were fighting and the other new dangerous foes we'd encounter along on the way. All we knew were the Humans in the gray and colored jump suits were Navy, the Human green guys were Marines, and every other bright color was something you needed to shoot repeatedly at in the face. The Fall of Reach explored the rich backgrounds of 3 of 6 characters in the first game. I think they did a really good job of explaining what they were all about and why they were here.
