yeah, in the OG Halo there's none of the "Covenant are genociding humanity" and "They're unstoppable and we can't win without a macguffin" shit. Cortana aces seven Covenant ships before making the jump to the Halo. The first game is mostly apolitical military space adventures. Then in the later installments we find out that the UNSC is a fascist military junta, the Spartans are fucking slave jannisaries kidnapped and experimented on as children, the Covenant are murdering all of humanity and simply cannot be stopped, oh and the flood can talk for some stupid reason.
Halo got intensely stupid and CHUDy after the 9/11 happened.
Oh, did I mention that hte purpose of hte Spartan program was the make slave super-soldiers to crush pro-democracy movements on human colonies? Because that's a thing, Master Chief was designed to slaughter Million Women's Marches on other planets and shit.
TBH I think the original Halo preceded 9/11
Yeah it only dropped in November 2001. It was written long before 9/11.
