(first post btw)

Hey all, I read online on a few gaming store websites, that the strategy guide (not sure if it is Brady or Prima) is being released on November 3rd 6 days before the game's release. I think it is cool in one way, because I can find the last bits of info, but also it will tell all the levels and story. I do not think I will buy it, number 1 I don't need it , and number 2, I don't want to ruin the story for myself.

What do you ladies and gents think?

Only people who suck need strategy guides to beat a game, and half the fun of Halo was finding your own unique way to get past parts of the level. And yes, who would want to ruin the story?

He speaks the truth. Strategy guides only exist so Prima can take an extra $15 from you. There are websites galore for that kind of information. Strategy guides are for suckas.

Well, I guess they ain't that bad. They have all the cool little tricks in the game.....and it's more convenient than having to go look on the net.

If by "convenient" you mean "more expensive," then I agree! ;)

No, I mean 'more convenient' as in you can just open the book up while still playing instead of going over to your computer.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Strategy guides are stupid for FPS's. For something like a rpg or an adventure game, then that makes more sense. But yes it is cheaper to find a guide on the web.
