It's a side scroller with crappy graphics (duh), and is a fan made creation from France (I believe), don't trust it since it doesn't come from Bungie..


Yeah, I know, I wasnt planning on it...

I didnt find "Halo Zero" all that fun... Im not really a side scroller genre kinda guy, and Im not all that much into computer games, I like holding a controller, not using a keyboard, and Im too lazy to go get a controller for the computer either... none of them look really nice anyways...

The only good Halo games that Bungie didn't make are Halo PC, Halo CE and Halo 2 CE...well they're all using Halo, but they had different developers..

Carrots.

They used alot of things from the books in the game.
Lord Terrence HOOD was first mentioned in the book First Strike, and he makes an apearence in Halo 2.
The MAC (Magnetic accelerator cannon) was first mentioned in a book, and was used in Halo 2.
The Orbital defense station's, Cairo, Molta, Eagus, Athends, where in the books and used in Halo 2.
The new peices of MJOLNIR that Halsey build where shipped to the Orbital Defense station Cairo for MC.
Most likeley some other things I don't remember, I'm halfway through First Strike.

I just read the title, and ABSOLUTLY NOT. There will be no new spartans, no Hasley, no anything! Let me say this for the 9th time in two months on this site.
The reason they cannot put the books into the games, is because many people have not read the books. This is a video game in case you didn't realize, not a book. You are supposed to waste hundreds of hours playing it and not learning anything, not reading a book. Back to the point though. Since many people have not read the books, this would cause confusion about what is goingon. this being said, bungie would fall. People would be angry and stop buying bungie games. Then gungie would be out of bisness. They are too smart for that.
Besides, where would they fit a Hasley or other Spartans? As far as we know, the story is this. Chief is on a ship, he crashes on earth and earth has been taken over by ovenant. Cortana is being held captive by gravemind. Chief finds that big builing underground. Now unless they are going to make that the place where the Spartan Project was put into effect(a lame plot), or where this Hasley is doing top secret research)much, much more lame), then there is no room for them.

There may be. The books are canon and anything in them could be added to the game.

Why don't you just go ahead and read the post above you kid. Look how many things have been added from the books. Did dual wielding confuse you? Howbout the MAC stations, or the Arbiter? Prophets? Brutes? The Battle rifle? All those and much much more were first introed in the books.

I've heard about this "Ghost of Coral" crap. Didn't Frankie announce that he made the name up, and he doesn't really know what it's gonna be called? If not, my bad, I heard it from someone.

Kick start a craze

Ghosts of Coral is just a working title at the moment. It's more likely to change it's title then stay "ghosts of Coral".

Did we get an explination of who Lord Hood was? Howbout the Arbiter? Or the Prophets? Nope, but people can peice things together that they already know about the series (rankings, race, weapons used, etc.) to figure out who is who.

Basicly, bungie can deny it all they want, but the books are canon in the Halo universe.

If a player hasn't read the books, then they are probably not very interested in the story. In that case, they probably wouldn't care. Nobody cared about the characters who were introduced and had no explanation. And nobody really whined that Johnson wouldn't tell how he escaped the Halos (as far as I know). Also I don;t think anyone freaked out or got confised when Lord Hood referenced the Battle of Reach.

It would be okay in my book if they incorporated characters from the books.

I think it would be awesome if they acually said they were going to incorporate the books, like maybe the new or the other 3 original ones. But some people say that would change the whole story, others like us say it would be awesome. We wont know for sure until we play the game or Bungie says something about it.

Besides the little comments they make about one forum or another.

Johnson survived Halo by pure luck. He wasn't infected by the flood because he has a rare cancer that screws with his DNA etc., and the flood can't match his DNA to infect him.
