I was bored so I re read the halo game manuel and I was surprised by the amount of story in the manual it talks about harvest and reach and generally has more story in it than any other halo manual.

I love how the manual includes information about the type of cartridge that each weapon fires.

I love how the manual is a game manual, not a FAQ.

yeah the newer manuals just cover the basics. Heck if you are new to the game they probably aren't that helpful.

It sure is. The Reach manual is a piece of crap. Am still trying to figure out how the Plasma Grenade Launcher works, etc... Is kind of poop oriented, I must say. Was looking forward to some insights, but this thing barely covers anything, period. I can easily take a Halo player forth better than this gosh darned excuse.

As good as it is, the manual contains a few errors; like the Plasma Rifle/Needler overlap, scrapped multiplayer equipment and how the Banshee has two fuel rod cannons.

Um, I didn't notice any of this stuff. I'll have to take your word for it. But yeah, CE did have the best chunk of storyline. Halo 3 had some too, but what happened? ODST had virtually none, and does Reach have any? I thought Reach tells you everything in the opening cinema, and let the manual rot. I might remember wrong, but I don't want to go and dig it up over that.
