You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

I may be crazy, am i corret in assuming that in this last weeekly update did i detect a hint towards a new book. Cuz a new book would be kickass.

Eric Nylund is writing it, and it's coming out in the Fall. I believe its just called "Halo", or another title will be given when it's completed.

They shouldn't release it until the game ships, though. because it would ruin the plot for me, seeing as how I would never be able to resist reading it if it were to be released prior to the game.

i think that they should release it before the game ships becuase playing the game and reading are way different so the book should be released before the game

It may not even be about the game, guys. Theres still a gap between the end of First Strike and the beginning of Halo 2. The Covenant haven't yet invaded Earth, Chief and the rest of the gang are NOT back to Earth yet, and theres still a huge space battle to be fought. I REALLY doubt all this will be covered in Halo 2.

Its safe to asume that Halo 2 will pick up right where first strike left off.

I think if theres a new book based off Halo 2 it should be called Halo: Invasion

If thats true, it must be a book to fill in a gap between First Strike and Halo 2. No way Bungie would release a novel about the game before the game even releases.

yea they should realease it like a month after halo 2 is in stores so it would give us time to beat the campaign and not ruin the story for us

hey guys, ever realized that the MC isnt even to earth yet, and thats where Halo 2 starts?? Mabye it shows MC doin a couple more things on his way to earth, while dr. Halsey (along with kelly) do thier thing. I honestly dont think a book would be released before the game if it was based on it, but yah know november is technically Fall, so it would probably release write after.
