I have noticed that Bungie.net doesn't have any real information about the Halo storyline on it. Why not? I think it would be a good idea to post some information about the Halo story straight from the source. I think a lot of the confusion and many of the rumors originate from the fact that many of the people who play Halo don't know or understand basic facts that would be useful to fully understand and get the most out of the Halo storyline. I play Halo way more than I probably should and I still have unanswered questions. I am not talking about questions concerning things that have not been revealed yet; Forerunners, Flood, Ark, etc. I'm talking about simple things like the Covenant ranking system, information on the weapons, and the origins of the Covenant technology(which races created what). There are other things too that can be included. Some background on the Chief for those who didn't read Fall of Reach. How the Covenant and Human war begun would help too. Information on the weapons and vehicles and their purposes in combat could help a lot in multiplayer. How the Covenant formed could help explain the civil war. The other Spartans, and where they are now(or at the end of First Strike) could help end the OMG more Spartans rumors. These are just some of the basic things that could be explained. I really think this would be a good idea to help enlighten some of the Halo fans who are less educated in the Halo storyline.

Two words: Halo Bible.

It hasn't been released to the public, and probably won't be for a good 10 years at least.

I think it would be cool for an encyclopedia to be made for Halo, like they did for Starwars.

I'm not talking about the Bible. I'm talking about some basic interesting information.

That's not really what I was talking about, but I see I'm going nowhere with this so I am going to stop.

  • 11.14.2005 4:48 PM PDT

Not what you were talking about?

I'm talking about simple things like the Covenant ranking system, information on the weapons, and the origins of the Covenant technology(which races created what).Everything you need to know about the Covenant.

Some background on the Chief for those who didn't read Fall of Reach.The Chief!

How the Covenant and Human war begun would help too.I'm sure you can find the answer to that here and here.

Information on the weapons and vehicles and their purposes in combat could help a lot in multiplayer.The manuals explain that stuff.

How the Covenant formed could help explain the civil war.Here and here.

The other Spartans, and where they are now(or at the end of First Strike) could help end the OMG more Spartans rumors.Here.

hence the "at least"

If it isn't revealed in the games or books then it'll never be revealed.

Bungie like to keep their fans guessing forever.

Ok, you are right it had most, but not all. It answered the more basic questions, but there are a few that have not been answered by anyone yet. I did not realize that HBO had that much info put together. Everything I found out I learned from the games and the books.

Interesting idea, the halo bible. But if that never comes out, you can find everything you need on Wikipedia.

I once read a post of Frankie's saying that it may get published somewhere down the line. That's what it's based off of.

I think this is it Cow. Don't be surprised if the link is dead, I can't get the site to load. I remember visiting a website with "Library" in it, so maybe that is it. It basically has all the info in Halo gathered in it. Give that link a shot, if it isn't the website, send me a PM. If it's a dead link, let's hope it's the page you're looking for.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Yeah, the likelyhood of anything being released it so small, it's not worth thinking about.

Think about it. If you made a game/games with secret story lines and background information, would you honestly share it with your fans or would you have some fun by making them guess?

...admittedly they really should have released myth and marathon stuff by now. It can't still be fun can it?
