I havent seen a thread about this, so I hope Im safe, Now, I know alot of people have been saying that BUNGIE said that they wont incorperate the books into the games... BUT, I have never seen any proof of them stating that,I would really like if someone would send me a link to prove that... if not, to my next point...
All three of the current books "The Fall of Reach" "The Flood" "First Strike" all came out before Halo 2, and alot of people are saying that Dr.Halsey wont be in the game because it would confuse players, well, maybe she will be. If you read the books, you would know that Cortana is practically a digital clone of Dr.Halsey. So in a way, Dr.H has been in the game all along, it would be easy to introduce her into the game, shes Cortana's creator, and the creator of the Spartan II's. I mean, Bungie needs to put into the game how MC, and the Spartan project started, cause if you havent read the books, you have no clue how the MC became to be... Another thing, is that in "First Strike" (remember this came out before Halo 2) they introduce Lord Hood, Fleet Admiral of the Cairo Station, he was just thrown into the game, no introduction, nothing... Another character, Tartarus, he was in "First Strike", toward the end of the book, him and the Prophet Truth have a little talk. They dont introduce Tartarus...he just this weird looking monkey thing we know nothing about at the beggining of H2, its like "whoa, what the hell is that?!" ... it kinda looks to me as if BUNGIE expected us to read the books and know who these characters are... so MAYBE, I really hope so, they will throw in Dr. Halsey and some of the other spartans, maybe even Ackerson's (Dr. H's rival) "secret project" labeled "SIII" will be brought into the game for a awesome twist... Cause from the looks of it, Ackerson seems like he wants to be in control. He doesnt like the Spartan II's, the Covenant, or being controled by higher authorities, maybe he'll turn his project loose against the Spartans, the UNSC, the Covenant, and the Flood, maybe he'll even use the flood somehow to his advantage, from clues in the books, he has been doing extensive research on the Halos...
To me, I mean, I love Multiplayer, but the story of Halo 1 and Halo 2..... would be nothing to me, without the books, the books have made the story alot more interesting and deep, without the books, it would seem so plan and boring... wow, there is just a bunch of rings, you get to fight aliens, Im a super soldier and I have no clue how he became this awesome badass, but he is... The books really add to it, and I think Bungie knows that... Im not saying Im right, but I really have a strong belief that Bungie is going to pull off some awesome crazy twists into Halo 3 by using elements from the books...
