Personally, I loved "The Fall of Reach" and "First Strike". "The Flood" I didn't enjoy quite as much, maybe it was because I had played through the game hundreds of times, or maybe because it was written by a different author. "The Fall of Reach" is just beautiful, I love how it explains how the Spartan II's came about and all that. While I loved "First Strike" because it gave me more story that I was just dying to know about.
If it's alright with everyone else, I'd like to turn this thread into a discussion of possibilities that the stories in the books left open as possible parts of Halo 2's story.
First off, the MC is not alone! Other spartans are alive and I would love to get some spartan team work missions like they do in the books, co-op like that would rock the house. Also at the beginning of "First Strike" when they got all the Spartans together to do the mission, it said that some Spartans were on missions so far away that they couldn't get back to do this mission, so they are still out there. And there is the situation of Dr. Halsey (and Linda or Kelley, I can't remember) is HAS to be in Halo 2, I just know it. Plus, Bungie already said that another Halo ring world will be involved in Halo 2, so my guess is that the flood is back.
This is my big idea of what a part of the story will be: you know how the covenent wanted that wierd crystal thing that was on Reach? My guess is that there is also something like it on Earth, and the Covenent want it. Well, those are some of my ideas for now, let me know what you all think about them and also what your own thoughts of the books' stories could mean for Halo 2.
