I thought chapters 5 and 6 in the book Reality is Broken were pertty good.  I especially liked chapter 6 when it talked about Halo.  I myself like to play Halo alot and may have counted for this 10 billion kills.  I also think Halo is an epic game because the music is so good.  Music can make any average game turn into a really good game.  Music can add so much depth to a game it’s unbelievable.  Try going through a dramatic scene with music that isn’t dramatic or no music at all.  It really dampens the game and makes it less enjoyable.

I also agree with Jane McGonigal that it is very beneficial that people are getting together to kill the covenent.  Players can collectively get together, and even though they don’t play with each other, they are on the same team.  It helps that Bungie markets killing the covenant because that also helps players feel like they are part of something much better.
