Subject: Do you follow Halo's book canon or game canon?

"At the end of this day one shall stand, one shall fall"

So, Death or Bungie?

I follow book canon. A book can tell a better story than a game.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

My schema is a hybrid and coagulation of all Halo stories. To ignore an entire source would be to lose out on wealth of information.

I follow both, they are both great, although they do not fit harmoniously together they both create a rich universe. it doesnt matter if bits contradict each other its not like its reality, its when our history books do this that we should be concerned. I look forward to seeing what 343 do with the franchise and also look forward to seeing what bungie make next as I enjoyed both halo and marathon.

Games. thats the story Bungie told me years ago, its the story I still care for more so than this new crap they are stuffing in with these new books.

Where is my poll!?!?!

I follow the game canon as I have only partly gone through a part of first strike. Not saying the books are bad though, they are probably alright.

I follow both I like the stories they both tell. If they had things from some of the books in the games that could have been pretty cool too.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Books. Why would I ever want Halo: Reach's campaign over the Fall of Reach?

I liked Reach's Campaign Alot. But The Fall of Reach was an awesome book.

I choose a hybrid of the two!

Honestly, I'm not shooting down the books(they're all outstanding), but this is BUNGIE's story. In the books they mention how the S-III's were so secret and they worked for Section 3, but that is just speculation. Do the games have to go harmoniously with the books, no. They shouldn't have to. So to all those who do hate on Halo:Reach's campaign, think about it this way; how would you like it if you had to do every game you wanted to do by a book someone not even in your company wrote. And again, honestly, I like the books, but this is bungie's story.

I follow both. Canon is canon, though some sources may be more reliable than others. To focus on one and be completely ignorant of the other, however, shuts you out of so many things in the Halo universe.

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

I'm glad you recognize the distinction between the two.

A book can tell a "better" story than a game, but out of curiosity how do you define "better" OP?

I follow the canon that makes sense.

Halo never needed books. Halo was great before, what the books did is added restrictions as to what the games are allowed to do, in a way, they are holding the games back. And as soon as something in-game contradicts a book even a little, there is an outcry from canon worshipers. Halo is a Video Game series, not a series of novels. The games are right wherever there is a clash.
