And Cryptum "wrecks the Haloverse" how exactly from your point of view?
In the exact same way the Star Wars prequels were detrimental to the originals, except somehow worse. There's huge potential for an amazing background in the Haloverse which is hinted at in the games through the dialogue and the terminals. It was awesome to theorize on the history of the Halo galaxy.
Then along comes Cryptum with an unimaginative story which goes against most things that were hinted at and said in the games. It destroys the mystery surrounding the Precursor, and gives us a ridiculous story of a pre-existing human empire. It made humans not the Forerunner's awesome chosen ones, but just their last resort sort of thing. Now, where humans had been a special species of the Forerunner, we're really just their little science project. I could go on such a rant but I'll kindly stop.
Basically, the novel just took all the mystery out of the Haloverse, and replaced it with a terrible story.
please, by all means share your opinions with us, just don't be a dick about it,
making statements like, "cryptum wrecks the haloverse" and "it ruined it for everyone" is going way to far, go ahead exercise free speech, no one everysaid you can speech on any one else's behalf.
Necro post time XD
Cryptum did not ruin any sort of canon, it may have overturned a fair bit of fan theories, but it did not contradict anything stated about the Forerunners in the games, books, or any other media that Bungie/343i has published. You are inclined to disagree on whether Cryptum was good or not, however you would be wrong to claim it breaks canon.
