Well since the Prophets, Brutes, and MAC guns were first introduced in books, then we should discount them too, right? Oh... wait... those made it into Halo 2... :)
You assume, then, that prophets, brutes, and MAC cannons were "invented" in the books? Why? Because the books came out before Halo 2? Interesting. Tell me, if your grandpa was born in August, and you were born in January, does that make you older than him?
Haha, good point- allow me to clarify...
I know that the books were not created first. It's just that that particular information regarding the Halo universe was first revealed to us in the books, and then later in Halo 2. I'm not foolish enough to assume that the books SHAPE the games or anything- I just hate the vehement opposition of people that haven't read the books, stating that something from the books will NEVER make it into the games. We've already had a few (albeit minor) cases where that has happened. Helljumpers, for instance, were introduced in the books. Created by the books? Certainly not. But the first time the fans got to seem them was in the books.
But yeah, you're right- those things weren't crafted by the books by any means, I should have acknowledged that in my post. All I'm getting at is that sometimes information shows up in the books first and then later in the games. It's not an impossible scenario. :)
The keyword of my original post is "introduced". I never said shaped. The point of my post that I'll concede was in error were the words "made it into" Halo 2- that part was poorly worded... A better statement would have been "those were in Halo 2."
