Well Bungie is not going by the book storyline.

1- it doesn't have to do w/ the story line
2- why would a vehicle w/ the same name and purposes be different in a book and a game
3- the books and the games story intertwine

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

I'm pretty sure the game came before the books, so it's that writer who's doing whatever the f*** he wants.

Well, the books do have to do with the game. The books are taken from the "Halo bible," but the books are simply more spiced up with some added changes. So it won't be 100% accurate, for example the book is of course more realistic.

plus it has more detail because it can explain more than a video game

but if you look at the pelican(from the game num nuts) it looks really big for just 14 ppl, give or take a few, so i think that there is a smaller level above cause there is a window up there but when your sitting in the pelican you can't see it
