Agreed
You hit a lot of the same points I was going to make. I was pretty confused when I played through Halo 4 the first time because I felt like I'd missed a significant chunk of story. I'd only read Cryptum at this point, so I wasn't completely in the dark, but much of the background behind the game didn't come completely into focus until I finished The Thursday War just the other day. In this respect, I think 343i dropped by ball on the fiction of this universe. Halo 4 feels a bit like they jumped the gun, in some ways, though the novels can also be construed as game spoilers that they wouldn't have wanted made public until after the game's launch.
