I hope it comes out soon because i thought Halo: First Strike was the story of Halo 2. though i was disipointed, i was still very happy with the book. I also hope that the Halo 2 book is written by Eric Nylund, the one who wrote Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: The First Strike. He's a great writter.

You may be right. Everything found on ilovebees is only understandable to people who have read the books. ONI, glassing, seraphs, reach... it can all be found at that site. It would make sense that all the lines are excerpts from the book or maybe just something to build up to the new book. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that book in book stores around the world on the 24th. Maybe, if one comes out, I'll space out reading the pages to last me all the way to November 9th. ( :

dude i'd totally play the game then read the book
i mean i loved the books and all but i think reading the story ahead of time would just kind of ruin the gaming experience, so i really doubt that they'd release a halo 2 book on the 24th

edit: i just realized that november 9th is a tuesday dude

The book would explain what happens before the game starts (i.e. "The Fall of Reach"). It would say what happens between First Strike and the start of Halo 2. Later, there probably would be a book about what happened in Halo2.

yet again... and I did say it before (look up a few posts), the book would explain what happens between the end of "First Strike" and what happens at the start of Halo2. After the game comes out, then they'll probably release a book talking about what happened in Halo2.

I don't think they should give away the story to Halo2 in a book yet, did Eric Nylund even start writing it yet?

With halo 1, the story wasn't released until awhile after the game came out ("The Flood"). I'm sure they'll do the same for Halo2. It will tell the story of what was happening that you didn't see during the game.

Who said Nylund is even gonna write that one? Dietz might.. i dont see whats wrong with Dietz.. you guys just didnt like it because he wrote about something you already knew.. he is a very capable writer if you actually read the book, other than skimming through it and saying, yea yea whatever i was there..
