Signatures are for squares.

All three books had new artwork put in, and about 20-30 pages added to the back of each book. VERY minor details were changed in all the novels. They're also larger and match the other Tor books in size.

That's about it.

see thats disappointing because i would love to see them explain some of the events present in halo reach. like what happens to jun. what exactly happens with all the data cortana gathers? i love the haloverse so much but im a stickler for continuity and canon and it sometimes seems like the people who are in charge of this vast and wonderful universe wont take the initiative to make it right.
that being said ill likely still get the books.

Fortune favors the Bold

The worst thing about it is that you would think because they are remaking them, they would fix all the continuity issues to make them work well with all the new updated stories, I.E. spartan IIIs or even the actual FALL OF REACH.

But no, its pretty much all the same besides a few number changes. And Halo reach pretty much cancels a lot of what the book fall of reach says, which makes half of the fall of reach book pretty much as useful at fanfic because games have superiority of books.

Its literally a big -blam!- you to all the fans. They had the perfect chance to fix things, but they chose just to intentionally leave all the issues. I am still not exactly sure why, and it still makes many fans mad

yeah certainly made me sad. it was actualy one of the only pros i was looking foward to with 343 taking control of the franchise as they could wrangle in all the loose ends but the success of the games is just making them write more and more stuff and it adds to the confusion of what could be an epic sweeping story.
