I was never as big into Halo as some of my friends, but I still own them and like them

I was much more of a Half-Lifer. I think the initial problem was that I just couldn't get into Halo's story; it was there, and it was rich, but there was something about it that didn't seem specific enough, if that makes any sense. I also never liked the Covenant enemies; I think they would've done much better with a half-alien, half-stormtrooper kind of thing, instead of a bunch of goofy lil' midgets, heh.
Even so, Halo is a very good game, and I know for a fact that Halo 3 will be insanely good. Let's just hope the movie doesn't suck!
