ok so for the past hour or so i have been reading a bunch of Halo Lore stuff... and I feel totally overwhelmed.

I can't even begin to explain what I dont get. I pretty much know the videogame stuff, but I'm interested in knowing what the books and anime bring to the table.

Does anyone know where I can find a good overview of the Halo universe???

Also I do have one specific question: Is Marathon lore tied into halo lore because I have read theories saying Cortana may be "Rampant" and I thought that was a Marathon thing?

Thanks

"rampant" is an idea on AI's that is common throughout Bungie universes. Though it's been suggested, the Haloverse right now is separate from all others.


If you're confused on something, halopedian can help.

Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...except Bungie.

Halopedian has pretty much everything you need to know.

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.

Yep. Though sometimes Halopedia gets a little TOO detailed. There is little to no speculation, just nothing but facts with SOURCES.

Speculation shouldn't be on there...

Haha you're funny.

Signatures are for squares.

Don't trust everything Halopedian says. It's nice to get a little bit of an overview from there, but really the best course of action is to just read the books yourself.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Rampancy is a state that smart AI's start to go through after seven years from activation aproximatly. They start beliving in their own superiority and inmortality, beliving they are better than humans and they become dangerous. They start ignoring programing guidelines untill they pretty much end up dying from memory/procesor overload.

Something like that. Halopedia is a good place to get informed, but dont always trust it, it great as an overview.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

The Story So Far:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Watch these three videos, in order, obviously. It's from the special edition of Halo Legends. They had a Story So Far segment. Sorry that it's Korean subtitled, but it's the only video I could find of the Halo Legends Story So Far. So, just ignore the subtitles and enjoy the wealth of knowledge.
