Instead you get the joy of playing through Halo and after that Halo 2 while your friends are constantly exclaiming their excitement over their exploration in Halo 3 while you are stuck playing through old content feeling left behind. If there was any warnings in the trailer that everything if gaited by a wall of past content and you probably won't be joining your veteran friends on Day 1 launch, I most likely wouldn't have bought the game, simple.
No, the real comparison is your friends getting hyped over the newest episode of Game of Thrones and you wanting to skip right to watching that without having watched the rest of the show.

This is a story-based game first and foremost, like every FF game. It just has the added perk of being multiplayer.
