"A LIE is a LIE"


- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer

As many will know 343 is outputting books that are expanding Halo canon in new directions.

The newest book, Glasslands takes place at the end of Halo 3 - I'll go ahead and let you in on this one, juicy secret-Halo: Glasslands will follow-up the events and characters from Halo Ghosts of Onyx in the wake of the final events of Halo 3 - introducing a wealth of compelling and unexpected new heroes and villains, and taking a galaxy in chaos in some surprising new directions.(scroll to the bottom)

Do you think 343 is laying the framework and pathway for the Halo 4 trilogy with these books, which are all taking halo in a brand new direction?

Discuss. I'd really excited for the new novels 343 will be announcing before Halo 4 gets released.

Hopefully not.
Is it so much ask for a game that is independent in its own story?

How? for a Halo story to be 100% independent it needs totally new characters and whatnot. MC and cortana and the forerunner location almost makes it impossible for this story to be independent.

Proving the fact that Halo's story is broken.

Not sure if serious....

That's the POINT. Halo is one large story, not like Star Wars where the original story is rendered pointless because of the rest of the universe. In fact, if Halo started doing that, I'd probably give up on the series. SW was ruined that way. It'd be foolhardy to hope for Halo to die the same way.
