The books are really a alternate universe if you will, a universe where bungie has all the time they need to really tell what happens in halo,thats why its a book, its the halo story. They couldn't fit the entire story into game edition so they make the games first then expand on what really happened in the books. but the point is theres gonna be no extra spartans in the freakin game, yes eventually in the next book ghosts of coral, and eventual books after that but the game is pretty much gonna stick to the lone spartan sort of thing

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The books are the official Story, Bungie even said so.

hey retard i even said there the offical story, never doubted that, but what bungie also said is that the books arnt related to the game. so people who keep making assumptions like "well it says there 15 spartans here and there" need to shutup. just because it says that in the book doesnt mean its gonna happen in the game

P.S. i totally agree that the books are the real story but that still doesnt mean that the game will follow it

It's just a couple of Spartans. Whether that little concept is in the game or not doesn't mean the game and books aren't related at all.

sorry i just saw someone post a thread about more spartans being in H3 and i got mad at the shear stupidity

  • 07.18.2006 4:01 PM PDT

Or maybe there COULD be more Spartans. Think about it. How did Bungie introduce the flood into Halo:CE? They introduced them as a new element. In the same way, it's not as if gamers would have HAD to read the books to grasp the concept of other Spartans. Bungie may implement them as an addition to the game story. Don't rule it out just yet. :)

I agree, the only senes in which they would be added to the game, would be if they would remain unnamed, no Dr. Hasley, no Colonel Ackerson, because those elements would require a 40 minute cutscene to explain.

And I don't think gamers would sit that.

Has Bungie said there are/aren't going to be more Spartans included in Halo 3? No? Then stop telling us how you 'know' they're not going be added. You don't know. No-one except Bungie knows.

Nope mate, the books are the story, just in more detail... They help fill gaps in the story the game can't possibly fill due to obvious constraints. For example, ''The Flood'' book is essentially Halo CE, with the story gaps filled in.

Bungie mutilated the books and story for Eric Nylund with Halo 2.

It's still official canon. So it still pertains. So will the Halo Graphic Novel and Ghosts of Coral. If your little mind its too small to comprehend the deepenss of the books. Then you might as well forget about the Halo storyline.

You make no since, you said it's the true story but not in the game... The game is the true story! Also yes the books will intervine with the games.

The Books had a different story to tell then Halo 2 did...


In Halo 2, they said "it was like the Covies had no idea we were on earth" when really, MC just took out the covie fleet at there docking station...idk if it was just there and MC never corrected his commanding officer, or that one is for the book and one is for the game...it just doesnt quite line up

The games don't follow the books -- they follow the Halo bible, just like the books do.

You know what this means? It means that they are all part of the exact same story, and relate to eachother, wether on screen, or on paper. It's all liable to show up -- don't whine when you see more Spartans.

Those were a traveling fleet, and about 15 survived (same amount as in Halo 2), and continued to their location. They didn't know humans were on Earth, but they knew what was..the Ark.

Damn! I am getting sick of these repeat topics. How is it anyone can even mention what will be and what will not be in Halo 3? "Don't whine when you see more Spartans." What the hell is that? You KNOW that there will be? Do you work for Bungie? Hell, do ANY of you work for Bungie? Sorry to rain in on your parade, but none of you know jack shi7.
