However, the books do relate to the game. There are things that are in the books that came from the games. Let's face it, the books wouldn't be around without the games. Does that mean just because it's in the books it will be in the games? No, and vice versa. They are still related though. If that's not enough for you, look at the trademark, copyright, and liscensing info. Yup, it's the same ... all owned by Bungie.
Personally, I don't think that there will be any more Spartans in H3. What you are referring to is the manual for the the first game. This was before the books came out and changed that.
