Halo 2 dude
and of course the sequel to halo2 which is also the prequel to halo3 then the halo 3 book

BTW i hope William C. Dietz does the Halo2 book cuz he did an awesome job of covering the Covenant story to Halo in The Flood and Eric Nylund does the others

Actually i don't really care who does the next ones. They are both outstanding authors. They made great halo books with great detail in them. I think they should skip every one like thewy did with the last ones. One guy does one book the other does another. Any moderators know about whats happening with them?

3 new books? hopefully a simotanious release? that'd be cool. ive read the three halo books atleast 4 times each, and i kinda lean towards eric nylund. i felt that the "the flood"s author did well with the covanent side, but i honestly think eric does better with the story line. if u wanna talk halo storyline or anythin history wise about halo, my aim is swimsocctrac

I myself hope Eric Nylund writes the new ones...and the new ones are probably going to be about the Storyline of Halo 2 which means they won't be coming out until way after Halo 2 so that the storyline isn't spoiled.

I too prefer Nylund, although I appreciate that Dietz had the tougher job.

Does anyone have PROOF of new Halo books? Links?

This isn't it but it's still something. It says 6 new titles by fall of 2003, but we only have three right now. So i don't know whats up with that.

if eric nylund did FoR and FS then definitely him. the 1st and 3rd did always kick the 2nd ones a** and was more action. if there are to be more, then eric nylund is the way to go!!!

Remamber*. It doesn't matter that much who is the author of the book because Bungie wouldn't let a bad Halo book go onto the market.

personally, I enjoy nylund's style much more than deitz... seems like he had a better grasp of the bungie feel. you know, the mood. Also deitz's Master Chief (john 117) didnt quite capture the character of MC like Nylund.

I saw that the 3 books that are comin' out are comin' in a collectors box. They are all in one box.

lol i think everyone prefers nylund's probably more so because he was writing something totally made up rather than dietz as he had to write within the confines of the game. but cant wait for these new books :)

Yeah Eric Nylund's style flowed better throughout the book. Dietz's kinda got a little clustered with description and not alot of action. Nylund all the way.

After reading the previews for all three 'old' books, I only bought the Eric Nylund books. I may buy the Flood one day, but it just didn't grab me like the ones Nylund wrote. Nylund has the highest quality of writing that I've seen in a while.
So, Eric Nylund to write any new ones, and I'll definitly buy them.

Edit- Anyone got a link to some proof?

i dont want a Halo 2 book... i want an after Halo 2 book... do you guys remember how boring The Flood was? i hated like 98% of that book... and i think i like Eric Nylund better... but they are both excellent writers...

I think Nylund shold do the ones in between, and Dietz should do the ones describing the in game ones. Not many people can do a book about First person shoot-em-up gameplay, and I think Dietz did a really good job.
