I've actually already made this post, but I put it in The Flood because I thought it was off topic. Now I don't think it is actually off topic, so I thought it was a good idea to repost it here.
The Halo novels are an actual series together, but an incomplete one at that. Halo: The Flood follows the story of Halo (Combat Evolved), while the other novels are set either before or after these events. The games are a complete series as they have a beginning, middle and end. However the books do not. Keep in mind, books last a lot longer than video games. I think that two or three more novels should be made to cover the events that happen in Halo 2 and 3. Do you? Why/Why not? And would you read them? Why/Why not?

PS: People who think novels suck have no imagination.

Cave Johnson here, we're done!

PS: If you are reading this comment while imagining my voice, don't panic. That's just a side effect of the testing.

Yes but what truly sucks is not having a "No" option that is actually an option that says "No", not "No - and some other opinon that you don't really agree with".

I do not want books detailing the events that happened in the games themselves. The Flood was a very boring book in my opinion and after reading a section from volume 2 of evolutions about Chief and his adventures in New Mombasa I stand firmly in being able to say that books about the game itself are boring (Damn you Robert McLees, that was the least interesting short story of the volume). I'm perfectly fine with the Novels being about parts of the Halo Universe that has not been explored, or details about things that needed clarification and that the clarification fills not only the need for clarity, but also introduces a lot of other things as well. I liked the short story about Cortana's struggle against the Gravemind, and if any of you have read it then you would know that it eventually ties up with the in-game canon, which funnily enough adds lines that didn't show up in the game (Which ticked me off a little bit). But I liked the story because the main plot was the struggle between cortana, not the Halo 3 or 2 plotline.

Keep the novels into subjects we have not seen yet, re-telling stories about something that you have already played makes it both pointless to read, and boring.
