Subject: Should Bungie stick to the book?

Ok, after Halo 1 came out an author named Eric Nylund made the book "HALO The Fall of Reach". It is the official prequel to the first Halo. It explained how the Master Chief first came to be. The intensive training starting at age 6. The chemical experiments that were tested with him. How he became the only Spartan left. Why there wasn't any more spartans made. The picture of reach you see shows mater Chiefs squad.......... When they were all alive.

This book could make Reach amazing... or too predictable in the campaign. Should they keep the official story or use a different one?

i think they should "Base" it off the book, obvioulsy adding in elements that wernt in the books, but yet still stick to the rough outline of the Novel.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Time to knock your theory or whatever the hell this is out of the sky.

The book came out before and not after.

Yes, yes, so what about it?

Oh.... damn. So:
1. John isnt the only Spartan left.
2. There were more Spartans "made".
3. You should read the novels before talking about them.

The picture of reach you see shows mater Chiefs squad.......... When they were all alive.

Because we all know that all human-like silhouettes are Master Chief (if the silhouette has others around it, then its his friends, and if it has a non-human looking silhouette then its the Arbiter).

The battle of Reach doesn't get covered till the book Halo: First Strike. We only get a small glimpse of what happened in Reach on the books. Its a huge-ass planet and we only know what happened in a small part of it where 1 group of Spartans where at.


I think i just Spartan Laser'd your thread and from the looks of it there were no survivors.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

TFoR came out before Halo 1 did.

I think that Halo REACH will be about the fall of the Plane Reach. So it won't necessarily follow TFoR. The opening could be a mixture of the end of TFoR and the beginning of First Strike. Check my REACH script out for what I mean.

I am going to lube your butt hole with nacho cheese and -blam!- you with a crowbar.

I could care less what it is about, I want the multiplayer.

Ooooo! Yer so smert. Too bad you lack any social skill to be liked. I hated reading every bit of your post. It seems that you think you're better than everyone else.

Pissing off people like you just for the hell of it.


Or just trying to find a few smart topics which i could post smart things and we could get a nice and smart discussion going on.

Instead the forums just get drowned with dumb people posting retarded ideas without actually backing up their claims with facts (which is why i call them retarded in the first place).

I'm guessing it'll be based off of TFoR and a little bit of First Strike.

No you got it all wrong, I'm not mad just curious, That's why I was asking a question. I simply stated that Acting the way you do wont make anyone take your post seriously. I could care less about the validity of the theory, they're fun to read and they all have some truth to them. Who cares if your deductive reasoning is far ahead of others. When you finally realize that no 2 people are the same you might make a decent post. Until then stick to myspace or facebook where no one gives a -blam!- what you post.

I think they should tie the game in with the events of the book without actually centering on them, just like Halo: The Flood ties in with the Halo 1 without actually retelling the game in book format. That's my two cents.

Guys stop fighting it is a simple question just calm down.
