Here are a few quotes relating to the Halo Bible
How Stuff Works: Was the "Halo" story fully realized and segmented into different games, or did you take the story as far as "Halo 1" and when it came time for a sequel, build the story from the ground up?
Pete Parsons: The "Halo" universe has an overarching story that is well thought out and was well thought out before "Halo 2." We have roughly 600 years worth of "Halo" fiction, and we know what happens inside of that universe at any given time.
EGM: So somewherethere's a Halo bible that has the basic storyline, including what goes on after Halo 2?
Pete Parsons: Yes, from the present day to the future.
HBO: Have there been changes to the GAME (that you know of) due to the book, or due to research instigated by its writing?
Eric Nylund: Not that I'm aware of, no. I relied on the Story Bible quite extensively. The whole idea behind a Story Bible is that if you create a document that accurately describes the universe in which a game takes place, you can use it as a guide for writing a novel (for example) without needing to constantly check the developing novel against a developing game.
