Whats confusing about the books? Other than the pointless gravity crystal side story in First Strike, everything else made sense to me.
Its not like they won't be able to make a game about Reach. It will be easy to infact. Just focus on five spartans that were never given names, had their characters explored, or were focused on in Fall of Reach and follow them as they fight a losing battle on the surface and you have yourself a game.
I understand that but it kind of ruins what we are going to expect. The fact that they can't make up different stuff is what bothers me.
Lets say this happened.
There were no books, just Halo Wars, Halo Ce, Halo 2, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo 3. They wouldn't have to hold back on anything for Halo Reach. There would be no detail on what happened in Reach, and they can choose how things unfold. This means they can explain why there would be Flood, or other enemies only fought on Reach.
Adding new things like weapons don't mess up the storyline, but it does make things more annoying and confusing when the novel states that such and such were not used.
Therefore, if Bungie does make the story based on the Reach book, they would have to either make an excuse for adding new weapons/enemies, or not include anything new. I understand we will be following different characters in the game Halo Reach.
Just try and see things from my point of view before you make stupid postes with one word like "NO". You know who you are.
