Ok so i borrowed my friend all of the halo books (i loved em and so did he) and he said "I dont know if it was worth knowing wot will happen in halo 2 though"...

NO, why do people keep doing this? countless amounts of times people have said this to me. The books are detached from the games. They are based on the game...FOO!

So i thought id just like to say that, coz im tired of reading "i wonder if linda will be in halo 2?" no she wont, niether will any other Spartans FROM the books, because there could well be other Spartans but not from the books.

But yea sure i could be wrong but i think it would ruin the feeling of halo, MC the one man amry does not need any buddies. Just add some ODST's coz they are kool characters =D

*First post, take it easy*

I hope the other Spartans are in the game, at least in a cut-scene.

If the other Spartans aren't in the game. I'd like to hear them mentioned. Personally I'd like to see them in the game, but that's just me.

ODST's are marines with a more aggressiveness and an extra tin can around them, they're nothing like spartans :-), they may look kool, but they're 100% original humans, whuile spartans have cybernetic implants and the chemicals that made them stronger, faster, wiser

actually, the books are very much linked to the game.

i think what you meant to say was.

"I'm tired of ppl thinking that First Strike was about Halo 2, when it was really about the gap between Halo and Halo 2"

mmm, i love the taste of that good old fashion ownage

Yeah, the ODST are cool characters to have, they are like kids the MC sets an example for.

OmniAsh1 - the books ARE linked to the game fool.

Ever heard of the Halo story bible? Well, it's a big mutha of a bible that has everything there is to know about the halo universe in it, obviously bungie has its hot little hands on it now, but maybe we will see it at the end of the Halo series (god forbid that there will be and end).

And yes, everything that was in the books coincides with the games and is linked, bungie have said so on many an occassion on [ulr] http:/halo.bungie.org [/url]. - type in 'halo story bible' in the search engine and find out for yourself if you dont believe me

They're are a lot of differences from the book to the game... So I wouldn't say they're connected... It's too difficult to make them 100% the same....

Frankie, you will be usurped!

Then explain how the Sarge is still alive in the E3 2004 footage? Yeah, the book explains why. This means that they have already used the book as a base for the game and therefore the books do have a link to the game.

General Fox,

Th books are 100% in line with the games, its all written and plotted out in the Halo Bible. Just go to the link I posted before and all will be revealed to you my friend.

Bungie is set apart from ALOT of game developers as in they actually have a great story to tell, with awesome graphics and great game play. They would not have been able to pull it off without plotting EVERYTHING.

I just hope that they release the Halo bible at the end of the Halo series.
