Um.. The books ARE in total agreement with the game. There's not conflict.
And yeah, cleary "the Chief" means John 117, not some other Spartan.
LMAO! No conflict. That's why there are suddenly no Spartans in Halo 2. In Halo 2, teh covenant stumble across earth. That's why they don't destroy it, because they didn't know it was earth, they thought it was just a forerunner area. In First Strike, the covenant know exactly where earth is and they are planning on an attack. I'll probably post a really extensive comparison somteimt, but for now, that should totally be enough to tell you that the books are not in total agreement, in the least.
* How Stuff Works: Are you guys very conscious to make sure that everything fits together -- that the books and games don't contradict one another -- so that everyone can look to any source and say, "This is very consistent, fully realized world"?
* Pete Parsons: Yes, but not in the marketing kind of way. We do it because we want the "Halo" universe to be manifold. You can certainly probably pull out some inconsistencies, but as a general rule we really try to keep it manifold. Because we think that ultimately we are doing this for ourselves. And after that, we're doing it for our fans, and we want them to really believe in this place that is the Halo universe. I think the reason Halo has captured so many imaginations is because we care a lot about what's going on in that universe and how believable that universe is. We have this high level myth that we understand very well.
Touche, but, when was that written?
