anyone out there ever read the paperbooks from halo series?i've read the fall of reach,the flood ,and currently reading first strike.what i'm wondering is why first strike wasn't/hasn't been used in any of the games.the other spartans still alive on reach,dr.halsey with them.their escape in a captured covenant supership with this crystal that's never been mentioned.what's the deal,was this deemed uneventful/not fun enough,because as a halo nerd it sounds like fun campaigning to me.the multiplayer is fine but watching the campaigns unfold has always been my favorite parts.if anyone can explain or knows something i don't please enlighten me.i just hope they don.t end the series anytime soon.as a player over 40,this to me as been the best set of games ever and master chief the best central figure.
