Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


The Covenants are up to something yeah old new we all know that. But I've never read the books so far or even seen one in life except on the computer. But people say on Reach they were looking for some Generators and on anyother planet they got some crystals but now they are on Earth dam they probably have alot of stuff yeah got and took it to their homeworld and build a building or something and stuff or took it to the other Halo. But I have one question did anyone make it off Reach? I think Stg. Johnson and Master Cheif. And maybe some other Spartans like Linda and Kelly. And how long does it take them to get from planet to planet is it like long or like hours? Or do they have like hyperspace?

That is basicly an engine that can transport you into slipspace.

I don't know because once the covie hijacked a pelican and it's pilot, told the pilot to check in with the human cache. The pelican was loaded full of Osooma's ( invisible elites ) and they pretty much stormed the base.Then reinforcements came. So if chief tried to contact earth, they would be busy fighting the covie, and it could be an imposter, so they might just blow it up anyway. Nobody likes a late spartan. But a late spartan is better than no spartan at all. Is it possible to get a tan in the spa anyway???

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

It is hard to say how many days it took him to travel from Halo to Earth, becuase time anamolies are involved. I think the end of First Strike takes place before the begining of Halo (the game).

It took a couple of weeks to go from Reach to Halo.

I think it should be a requirement that you read the books before you become a part of Bungie.net. To be a true Halo fan you have to be into the story as much as the game. If you haven't read the books yet, I highly suggest you do. Not only because they'll better your understanding of the Halo universe, but because they're amazing in general.

This is what happened after Halo. Master Cheif and cortana find a pelican hideing in the debris of Halo and 3 cryo chamber pods. Master cheif gets the cryo tubes on the long sword (which one cryo tube has Linda in it) then Sgt. johnson, Polaski, Haverson, and locklear get are found in the pelican. they get togather and Hi-jack a covenant flag ship. (im not spoiling anything else)

I read the books. They're quite crap-tacular but I enjoyed them none the less. Editorially speaking there were far too many typographical errors, a couple of times character names were confused and the author has no concept for the physical laws. They're also were quite short on description. Even after reading them you don't know what a Seraph or a Skyhawk look like. I know I could do better because... I already have! :) Still, they are interesting.

Now, for those that wish to know. Master Chief and the Sarge got off Halo by taking over the Covenant Flagship "Ascendant Justice" which had light speed capabilities.

Its not light speed, its slip-space.

Its not light speed, its slip-space.

Oh goodness me childling... Light speed capability means that something has the capacity to move at or faster then the speed of light.

In Halo, Slip-Space travel is the "means" in which this occurs. In Star Trek you have "Warp Drive", in Star Wars you have "hyperdrive"

I was trying to explain to those that have not read the books how the Chief got off of Halo in a craft that did not have the capacity to move faster then light. If I'd mentioned "Slip-space" to such people they'd not have any idea what I was talking about.

Why the hell why Master Cheif go back to Halo after it is like spin in circles flying in space and has the flood and most stuff is mash because of the pieces hitting each other?

And why will Master Cheif have a Pelican a Long Sword is better it can shoot and all it is like a jet fighter but a Pelican I don't think it can fly in space can it or maybe it just shuts its back door.

What if the books are unavailable in your area, what if your a hobo, with a monochromatic screen and feed your connection and power off some companies' which doesnt know because theyre so big...

(sorry, but books aint available where i live, so think before you type....)
