That speculation about whether or not Ilovebees is counting down to a new book sits pretty well with me. I mean That whole conversation regarding reach, ONI, Ackerson, etc...is only really understandable by those who have actually looked beyond the game for information. I have mentioned this before in other posts, but it might be leading up to perhaps a new book, or a set of promo materials tha emphasize the story. I mean with Halo 2, there is definatly going to be a line of books to come out to acompany the story. Very interesting...
After reading TFOR (and getting home from work:P), I played through the first level of Halo and wondered if there was any continuity tie in with the book and the game. Two things popped up. One. When the master chief is unthawed, everyone acts as if he rarely gets waked, they are all so awed by his existence. But how long had they been in slipspace retreating from Reach? Hours? Days? It seemed as if when the cheif was wakened it was fare more monemental than it should have been. Next little detail. It explains in the book that the Spartan weapons locker was mangled and they repaired and sealed off. Half way through the first level, when you find your cryochamber full of elites ("looks like they wanted to catch you napping"). The adjacent chamber on the other side is all boarded up. Which was a satisfying bit of continuity.
But those are minor points. I think I just love this game too much...
