That's my opinion. The average gamer won't know wtf Dr. Hasely is (I don't) or the other crapola. So if it is in Halo 2 it will leave the gamer who played Halo dazed and confused and crying in the corner. I really feel good about this theory but I know I will be disputed by the book lovers. Go controversy. Give me a C, give me a... okay I'll stop.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! finally some1 saying what weve been thinking!i read them but still hope bungie doestnt base the game around the book at all
Nothing? How about the Battle Rifle or smg? Brutes, Prophets or Engineers? Those are all from the books. You might want to rephrase that just a bit.[Edited on 8/4/2004 11:52:56 PM]

Well they will probably reveal some of the books story in Halo 2 without expecting non-book-readers to know what the novels story line is.
What about cutscenes! Wouldn't that help!You don't need to know the entire backstory to fully enjoy the game.

I just hope that there are some parts of halo 2 will be better if you read the book. But that the average person can pick the game up, maybe it will explain some of the books in the opening.
those were taken from the E3 demo,,,,,, all the author did was watch that demo, see everything that was in it and then write the book based on the new stuff
No, the author didn't invent the battle rifle or the smg and Bungie decided to put them in the game. Other way around. I mean what ever crap the author made up, won't be in Halo 2. I don't know what crap the author made up, but what ever it is it won't be in Halo 2. Theory, no need to flame. People in these forum sure worship MC but act nothing like him...

The authors don't make it up. Bungie has a thing called the Halo Bible in which the whole story of Halo from beginning to end is explained. The authors take from that. They wouldn't be the official books of the Xbox game if the authors made it up.
January 30, 2004 (Warthog's Day)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.
Of course parts of the book are going to be in Halo 2, but will be explained through various ways. For instance Halo 2 is going to start near the end of First Strke, they have to explain how you got there. Think about this Halo has elements from The Fall of Reach. They just introduce new characters and explain what you need to know for the plot. The books are just filler for a deeper story.
if it has nothing to do with the books then how is it gonna explain how the chief got to earth.the longsword he escaped in doesn't have a Shaw-Fujikawa engine to go into slipspace. it could take years to get back to earth.especially since he really doesn't know where he is. and how will it explain how johnson survived.or how the covenant even got to earth.
Em, this idea of mine maybe bad, crap or whatever but here i go. WHY DONT WE WAIT FOR THE GAME TO COME OUT.
[color=purple]Why the hell would they write the books in the first place if NOTHING is gonna be used from them? Stop bein retarded.[/color]

There will be nothing in halo 2 that the author made up. The halo 2 story will start where halo left off.
