Let me get this straight, the science-fiction novel by Eric Nylund, Halo: The Fall of Reach was based off the first Halo game. But now there's going to be a game based off that book?

So what has to happen to the writer? Does he get credit now for getting credit off Bungie, so in turn Bungie gives credit to him?

The Fall of Reach wasn't based on Halo: CE, it served as a prequel for it. Halo: Reach is supposedly based on The Fall of Reach.

The second novel was based off the first game. This is a prequel to the first game.

It was based off a mature rated video game. And since there was only one game out when the book released, HALO, it was based off that game.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Halo: The Fall of Reach takes place right before the events of Halo 1.

The other books take place different times. (like between Halos 1-2, etc.)

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I think you'll find it's a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. The end of The Fall of Reach is the beginning of CE. Eric Nylund presumably based his book off the Halo Bible.

No; the book is based off of a mature related video game series. I don't care what the actual disclaimer says, because it's a general description they use. I think "This book is a prequel for a mature rated video game," sounds a bit unnecessary.

Have you ever actually read the book?

It says "based off a mature rated video game" on the cover of FoR because it's part of the same universe as Halo 1. I mean, heck, Halo 2 was based off a mature rated game, but that doesn't make it Halo 1.
