Halo Fall of Reach or Halo First Strike. What specific things might you expect to see in the game?

Yes, and hopefully everything.

VETO!!!!!!

Well, if the game does follow the novel at all, I'd love to see the Spartans go through training. I think that would be amazing to play through. But putting all the back story from the novel in would make the game really long.

Halo 2
Halo 3

Yup I read the books. My favorite was either Ghosts of Onyx or First Strike. I hope they put in some of the stuff from the books at least, otherwise why even write the books if you aren't going to integrate them with the games?

The boot camp could be like the training missions

Yup, I read the trilogy (Reach, Flood, Strike) and Contact: Harvest. As for stuff I want to see... Obviously The Battle of Reach, John coming back to Reach after, and if possible, the stuff from the start when the Spartans are first drafted into the program, including some ODST vs Spartan missions, the raid on the asteroid, etc.

You know what's even worse?

When the boy you like has a girlfriend.

The sceene where John wounds and kills some ODSTs in a fight shortly after the augments would be fun.

I want at least one level as Linda. That would be kickass. She is by far my favorite spartan, aside from John

The game isn't going to be the book. That would be a movie not a game. I imagine it would be the main battle of Reach and then into Operation First Strike and then back to Earth. But that would mean that the game starts off as a prequel to CE and then ends after Halo CE.

Only read Fall of Reach out of those two books. Started FIRST STRIKE, didn't even get to the tenth chapter I believe.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I read a bit of them...
