To tell the truth, I'm really bad at FPSs so I think I'm the only person in the world who owns an Xbox but not Halo. But I keep on hearing about how amazing the plot was and the incredible twist at the end. Plus there's all the confusing viral marketing at
www.ilovebees.com which is screwing with my mind.
So my question is: what is the plot of Halo? I mean after the initial "humanity spread out over the universe, war with covenant, Pillar of Autumn makes a random spacejump and arrives at the halo" thing. What happens on the Halo itself?
Also how do the infamous Cortana Letters (

And does the plot of Halo lead on from the plot of the Marathon games?
obviously if you don't want spoilers you should not read on.
