Traviss' new books (the first of which, Halo: Grasslands, is due this October) seek to fill in the time frame between Halo 3 and Halo 4, when Master Chief is adrift in space for an indeterminate amount of time. She said that it is a significant challenge to bridge the gap between the two games, as she has a set beginning and set ending and must work within those parameters. Traviss noted that her books seek to give screen time to some of the lesser known characters or those who haven't gotten enough play, like the Office of Naval Intelligence.

i like how they get their facts right.

Somebody missed the point.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Glasslands is the first of a new trilogy by Karen Travis, what are we discussing in this thread?

Probably due to the similarity between the words and the fact that we use grasslands much more than glasslands.

What point did he miss? Halo:Glasslands is a start of a trilogy...

I actually thought it was Grasslands the first time I saw the name, lol.

  • 07.27.2011 12:49 PM PDT

The point was that the website got the name wrong.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

How is the book a failure...it hasn't come out yet?

Why do people put spaces when copy-pasting links?

And why do people not scroll down to see the text formatting legend?

They don't, Bungie.net does.

Let's throw some more stuff into the fail pile, eh?

http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/halo_4/news/big_relief_to_h ave_finally_announced_halo_4_says_343.html

While Traviss' book looks to move the franchise forward, Bear's Halo: Cryptum digs deeper in the story of the Precursors and Forerunners, revealing exactly what the Precursors did and what their Halo program was designed for.

Oh cool, we finally get to here about what the Precursors halo program was-wait? Huh?

Precursors did and what their Halo program was designed for.

As if the precursors couldn't have built a similar weapon and that knowledge is in the forerunners mind via geas.

Because we already know what the halos were made for.

Well, there's a lot we still don't know about the Halos. But it's more than likely another typo/misprint.

But then again, that's what everyone said when the Xbox.com article first posted about Reach and said it placed us in the shoes of a Spartan III. Lots o folks thought that was a typo. Myself included, at first, until we got some more hints about the game.

  • 07.27.2011 5:04 PM PDT

I'm pretty convinced it was a typo all along, what with how it violates canon, but that's for flame-war charred canon debate threads.

Or it was probably just a typo.

The odds of somebody intending to type Forerunner and instead hitting all the keys for the word "Precursor" on accident are very good.
