Personally I dont think their will be major refrences from any of the halo novels, such as main characters and stuff. less then 20% of the halo world has read all of the novels, and projecting a character from a book that nobody has read can cause alot of confusion. I think they should stick with new characters, or halo 1/2 characters.

It has been said before that the Halo novels have nothing to do with the Halo Series plot...they are the creation and combined effort of Bungie and Eric Nylund.

However, that doesn't mean they are non-canon. That's just saying they're not integrated directly.

True, like I said..Bungie and Nylund work on them. So besides taking Halo Plot items and including them. They also expand...I am not saying that there is no truth in them about Halo or it's plot..but that it isn't a direct link.

Agreed...it has become rather boring and intolerable anymore.

It wouldn't create confusion. They would be seen as new characters for the people who haven't read the books. Not many people were confused with the additions of Tartarus, Truth, Brutes, and Lord Hood.

Actually, it would seem Bungie has very little regard whether people read the books or not from the looks of the game. There weren't hundreds of topics asking how did the MC get back to Earth... Or what happened pre-Halo 04.
