Ghosts of Onyx and Reach are my two favorites Halo novels.
I love them all, of course, but those two are so powerful!

When Kurt decided not to put the MJOLNIR armor, whoho!
It was pretty strong!
I wished He put it on to boost the moral of his Spartans IIIs. It is true that he made a wise choice to keep the cohesion within the Spartans on Onyx.

Question: will Eric write Halo II, the novel?
I am craving to read another story written by Eric. I am sure he will reveal really cool things about Halo II.

Thank you Bungie, thank you Eric!!!!!!

(Can't wait to play Halo III )

I agree adding in features like a female spartan could really enrich the game (except for those few guy that will just do it to be funny or in a strange way very disturbing) anyway I know a few girls that love Halo that would love it, one question though will their be a different spartan SKU too or is it just the voice.

Wow, very informative update. I am very excited about the new water, especially since Halo and Halo 2's water looked so awesome to begin with. And this idea about the female voice option? It sounds awesome. I'm a girl..but add it for variety's sake. I hope you guys kept elite player models for multiplayer....I would be sad if not. That's my two cents...oh.....15th post..woohoo..*sarcasm*

Personally, whats wrong with a guy using a female voice? Just like playing as a female character on lets say, Tony hawk's pro skater. Are males only supposed to play as male characters?

thank you so much, bungie, don't you guys (and girls, female voice in H3 Woot!) think it's ironic that when you zip your lips about something everybody's mad at you, but when you are pleasers, some believe that they are married to you? can anyone say AwKwArD?
Thanks Again.

i think the female voice is cool, but i dont really get it. like, the campaign is master chief, and hes always been a dude, so i dont think its right to suddenly change the story and be like oh well MC is a woman now. i mean, thats concrete story from cutscene 1. plus, when you play on live, i dont get it either. if a woman talks on live, its a womans voice obviously. so i guess what im saying is, if i am correct in saying that MC could talk in a female voice in campaign, i dont think thats right because thats really messing with the story.

It's not for campaign. I doubt it would be. Just a fun little thing to fiddle around with for Multiplayer and Xbox Live.

It's a great idea to add the female voices. Any extra features are always fun which is why I liked the option to be an Elite so much. It's just nice to have something different then everyone else.

If it isn't too much trouble, then I say go for it. I'd definitely choose a female voice.
