in the halo books Admrial Whitcomb Speaks To Spartan117 about a Bomb Called the Nova which is a Cluster of Nukes Fused together at the Core which they where Deveolping to Destroy the Covenant Homeworld, do you think this bomb will be in halo3? they may use it to destroy earth after the covenant take it over.

lots of people have talked about activating the halos this would keep the covenant from getting to the ark if it is on earth and it would kill off a lot of them. plus you dont even know how many humans are still on earth.

Didn't they only make one and then they used it to destroy Reach once the Covenant took over?

I highly doubt they'll add any new elements into the game that came from the books because the majority of halo players don't read the books. If they were to add something like the Nova bomb, or even more spartans into Halo 3, it would confuse a majority of their audience, which they obvioussly wouldn't want to do

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

That would make for a killer explosion.

agreed

if they had introduce these elements in say H1 or even 2, i would have no problems

but to suddenly drop all these elements? massive confusion

It has been stated that Bungie makes the games for.

1. Themselves.
2. Devoted Fans (who read, play, and appreciate the entire mythology)
3. Others (who have played the games but not the books)

it would not be hard to explan all they would have to do is say "MC we have this bome that can blew up a planet take it here and activate it."
