: As a direct consequence of this, I lost track of the EU stuff that was going
: on and kinda just ignored the news announcements concerning 343i and Halo
: as a whole. Until a few days ago.
: A few days ago, Game Informer and 343i came out with some promotional art for
: Halo 5: Guardians. It was some pretty cool stuff, but one image grabbed my
: attention immediately.
: THIS image:
: Now, like most of you, I heard some rumors that our favorite ODST was making
: a return to a full game, but this was the first real confirmation (for me
: anyway) that it was true. It was like a revelation! I LOVED ODST. Nathan
: Fillion is one of my favorite actors! He was gonna have a big roll in H5?
: Well by gosh and by golly count me in!
: I began to get excited for Halo 5, I looked up some more promotional images
: and the like. Read an interview or two. And it wasn't long before I
: thought that maybe I should start catching up on all the EU I'd missed.
: So, I says to myself, what can I get a hold of TODAY to help sate my
: renewed Halo craving? Ah! I never did get around to watching that
: Nightfall show, I bet I could find it online! Lo and behold, a couple of
: touchpad clicks later and boom, opening credits.
: It has now been about 2 hours since I clicked play. I am almost back to my
: pre-Buck-art levels of hype for Halo. Now, again, I won't yak your ears
: off with all the things that were awful (so, so awful) about Nightfall.
: I'll simply state that I didn't enjoy it.
: As it sits now: I'm mildly excited for Halo 5: Guardians.
: I don't like Locke's character, and am unsympathetic towards him.
: Buck is awesome!
: Buck is a Spartan IV?!
: ...
: I still want to catch up on the EU. Kinda.
: The last Halo-book I read was Travissessesssess Glasslands, and I was less
: than enthused. So I'm tentative about jumping straight in again. Nightfall
: was pretty darn bad, but I've heard good things about this Hunt The Truth
: radio drama?
: I guess what I'm asking is whether or not anybody has any insight into where
: I should start up again?
: Is my hope in Halo 5: Guardians (that's gonna get tiring) misplaced? Am I
: dumb and are my opinions dumb?
: Tell me your words!
Well, that's extremely unfortunate the one piece of EU you were hoping would revitalize your Halo hype was Nightfall, because idk if anyone liked Nightfall. I'm a fanboy and usually am pretty forgiving of 343, but not even I remotely enjoyed Nightfall.
Read New Blood, it's short and easy to read and universally liked by the Halo community, plus its told by Buck, it'll catch you up on what he has been up too. In my opinion the author did a great job portraying Bucks voice and attitude.
