And First Strike happened IMMEDIATELY after Halo 1.
Yes.
Fall of Reach was IMMEDIATELY before Halo 1. What's your friggen point?
No, it started before the Human-Covenant War, period and managed to explain the Spartan-II program, go into the insurrection, detail massive ship battles and go into detail what goes on at Reach itself.
Cole Protocol just added "spare fuel" to drop pods. It also didn't have anything to do with Grey Team being "deployed so deep they couldn't be recalled," which is why people wanted to hear more about them.
True, but it still showed what was going on with the rebels and the Covenant.
Contact: Harvest came up with some half-baked origin on brute vehicles. It also had an awkward sex scene in it.
1. Why is it half-baked?
2. Understandable opinion about the sex scene, but it's Johnson...so not that surprising.
I fail to see how dropping tech in a book is unusual.
All the other books showed technology and at least explained it, what did Glasslands really say about the Infinity? Hardly anything.
This was an ONI mission, ordered by the TOP ONI official. That explains just about anything.
"ONI did it" isn't a good storytelling or canon device.
Humanity would have a good understanding, as they had all the information from Cortana post Halo 1 and Halo 2. Think outside the box. Don't just close your eyes, pick a random fact, and try to argue it.
Because Cortana knows every single thing abut Forerunner engineering and physics, which she doesn't.
The Brutes didn't betray the Sangheilli, the prophets did.
And yet the Brutes were perfectly willing participants and committed atrocity after atrocity.
You failed to make any coherent, solid arguments. Try to prove something to yourself before you spout it at me.
Right back at you.
I think DeceptionCobra won this argument...
On a seperate note: After reading Glasslands, it was interesting to delve deeper into the Spartans emotions, but yet as many have agreed, it was not as exciting nor as positive as the other halo novels. Eric Nylund did an excellent job with the original novels, and Karen Traviss didn't. I agree, Halsey was portrayed as sort of a -blam!-, and it made the Spartans look like freak-shows and adult babies. They all looked mentally unstable cowardly and nothing close to the solid, concrete and badass ones we're used to. Sure, it offered an alternate point to the story, and sure, I enjoyed the story, but the issue with Halsey, ODST's, the Spartans, and everything in between ruined it to a point.
