1) You aren't.
2) Exactly. YOU can probably find a reference to Santa Claus being the son of Jesus and cousin of Optimus Prime, somehow, in the Halo games, if I gave you a day to do it.
Point being, YOU can find whatever you want in Halo because you, as a fanboy, are determined to. Fact is, it's not about what YOU can get out, it's about what the MAKERS put IN. They didn't put anything IN that makes the game complex.
I mean, my god, are you genuinely this thick? Time and time and time again, you continue to disagree with what I'm saying, only to prove that...you don't understand what I'm saying, what the difference is, what the point is.

Cant find whats not there(and technically the makers put EVERYTHING in it), face it AC, your currently your own worst enemy.
AC,
You keep saying that Halo's story is shit... so what do you think about Gears then? If your answer is anything other than "It's shit also" or "It sucks too" then I think you may just be a Gears fanboy....
By the way while we're talking about story and everything... how exactly did the locust find out how to make guns? Or are all of the guns in the game human ones? Because I'm pretty sure in the first game either in a trailer or in the first cinematic it showed the locust on E-day emerging from the ground with lancers.
😠 😠

First of all her name's Kazooie you inconsiderate prick. Secondly, if you really, REALLY want to start this now then go ahead and say one more bad thing about Banjo Kazooie. I dare you. You sir have just fvcked with the wrong fan boy. I WILL BRING YOUR ASS DOWN! 😠 😠

For the love...of anything.
How many more times must I genuinely break it down, and the differences, for you lot? ONCE more:
I think Halo's story is shit overall...my opinion. Ok? Following? Now separate that opinion from what else I'm about to say, because it is entirely different.
Halo AND Gears both have SIMPLE stories, this is NOT opinion, this is fact, as I have proven countless times. I will not act like Gears is anything more intricate or less intricate than Halo in terms of plot. Unless the Sera thing is true, then yes, it's generic and dull. Nothing new, nothing special.
I personally prefer Gears' SETTING because as I've said, I can take it more seriously than I can Halo's, that's personal. I find it to be a way more believable war tale than Halo for reasons I've already stated, that's me.
What has been discussed here is not quality of story from a subjective stance, but the OBJECTIVE complexity of Halo's story and Gears' story. Both of which are NOT complex AT ALL.
Now, if anybody here genuinely has trouble with understanding what my points are, needs any further clarification or honestly just wants to repeat what Spartan or Nac have, then I recommend a healthy dose of Desert Eagle .50 to the temple.

Is this a joke, or is fanboyism something you're legitimately proud of?

I hope you know that that was a yes or no question which you completely failed to answer. You already said that they're both simple stories (which by the way is not a fact but whatever) but do you think Gears 2 has a shitty story or not? Yes or No.
And that was a joke but I do love banjo kazooie. It was the shit back in the day.

Its not possible to tell Gear's story without sidetracking is it not?
Of course it's possible, but thats not the direction the writers chose. The developers obviously anticipated a sequel and a sequel from the sequel. It's all about marketing and profit and cliffhangers and series are the most profitable directions these days. Whats wrong with your standard, We're the good guys, They're the bad guys and we have to blow them the fvck up, gameplay? I for one love that. Add a few witty one liners and a couple inside jokes and analogies and some badass equipment for making shit dead and i'm a happy camper. Why can't you be happy to? If you want story and depth dude, you're playing the wrong games when you choose to play either, halo or Gears of War. And if you're finding depth in either one's story arc, then you are using your imagination, so kudos to you because you win either way as long as you have some fun while playing the game.

I answered it.
"Unless the Sera thing is true, then yes, it's generic and dull. Nothing new, nothing special.".
To add to that: I think Halo's story is shit, but that's nothing to do with the fact that it's simple. I dislike Halo's characters, setting and storytelling a lot more than I dislike that of Gears'. However, if you compare the complexity of the two premises, then neither are special.
I had to elaborate because you asked be if I thought Gears was shitty storywise, and if I disagreed, I was a Gears fanboy. This isn't about which story I find shitty, so you're asking an irrelevant question, it's about complexity.

I own both.. and I feel that , in the most important category (Gameplay) , gears has halo beat by a landslide...
I just seriously dont find it all that great to have to beat down a recoverable shield, or use weapons that dont really controll all that differently from one another
cover, blind fire, the new grenade system of wall tagging, chainsaw clashes (because apparently its not possible to do this with the gravity hammer for whatever reason), variable accuracy of each weapon..
I mean halo 3 has its fun... but gears 2 is just far more visceral with its gameplay, for me
