@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

I'm not literally crying. Far from it. However, 343 has shown how consistently apathetic they are towards the books. Sloppy edit jobs, constant re-releases that don't fix any problems, and just plain wrong information that slipped by their watch. If they can't even edit books, why should I trust them on the gaming front? Fact is, they still released the Encyclopedia, and made a second edition, if they honestly didn't care about it as you said, they wouldn't have made a second edition.

Unless they just wanted money.

The Halo story and story development has always been a mess. Whether it be between the various authors, or Bungie. Or within 343. Why are you bringing this up only now?

You're literally crying over such insignificant little details that come from an obscure, weak and stupid little book that barely qualifies as a reliable source because of the violations it made before it was edited. Those violations made it quite evident that the writer(s) didn't completely know what he/they was/were doing, thus making the dates he made up frail and unreliable.


Do you realize that's first edition, right?

He's talking about second edition. So with your comments, you sound like you hate all Halo novels.

Because I expect 343 to have a thing called standards. They have set up canon that they have made themselves. If they are violating it already before they make their first game, why should I trust them?

In an interview with Adam Kovic, Frankie said that the Warthog was the first thing they've unveiled that's going to be in Halo 4 other than the Chief and that new gun.

He also said that that was their exact model but the people making Forza 4 had just put it in high res.

Because it's not even that big of a detail. You're only making it seem horrible. Quit being such a whiny baby over such a tiny contradiction.

So if I take it right, You view Reach as ruining the canon, and that's horrible, but 343 possibly ruining the canon by ignoring book details/evidance(the most common anti-Reach explaination), is perfectly fine?

Didn't I already say that I exaggerate when I say that? I was more-so referring to the fact that Bungie IGNORED the novel. But that's completely irrelevant to what I'm saying to Cobra, so stop trying to take shots at me for that.

And F.Y.I., I said I don't believe the novels are a good way to tell the stories of games, I never said I didn't ACCEPT them (though I might have a while ago before changing my reasoning). I've read The Flood, and half of First Strike if that counts for anything. I have Ghosts of Onyx but I had NO idea what was going on when I read it a few years back so I stopped.

So because YOU don't respect the books, they shouldn't help convey the story? And you have the gall to say you're a Halo fan.

As compared to the books from other videogame franchises, the Halo books are quite decent.

That makes sense to me, too. Honestly, there are too many scenarios for an outright NO!!.

DID YOU even READ the post you QUOTED you numb-skull? You basically just called me a Heretic to the Halo franchise. You're making yourself look like an extremist.

Actually, the 2554 Warthog shipped at the end of 2552 meaning that the Halo 4 warthog would be in the FoD's bay. So it does not prove UNSC presence in Halo 4.

Frankie confirms it on Halo Fests Halo 4 panel.

Yay for a camping trip at the 'Dawn with only being able to use the Warthog at the start of missions with no gunner, making it completely useless!

Why would we only be able to use it at the start of missions?

The Halo 4 hog looks a bit flashy. Flared fenders with additional armor around the gunner seems like a bit much. I am excited as much as anyone about this. I just expected that it would be 100% foreign and this would be a story about the Chief and Cortana relying on each other to survive.
