Can I just throw out the fact that Del Rio was relieved of his position when the UNSC leaders found out that he'd left the Chief alone on Requiem. Frankly, the only one that didn't see him as a hero is Del Rio and he got shell for it.
He was? I guess I missed that  Glad he got the boot though. |

*Shakes fist* You guys and your superior knowledge of Halo.  I haven't read or looked into anything Halo outside of the games.  |

*Shakes fist* You guys and your superior knowledge of Halo. I haven't read or looked into anything Halo outside of the games. Hehe. I'm not as knowledgeable as some of the hardcore Halo fans are, but I am getting there. I think. Planning on buying all of the books and reading them all in chronological order. I already read the first few, but I want to read them again anyway. I just love the universe of Halo so much. On a totally random note... I've been thinking about this earlier today, but how awesome would it be if Fred, Linda, and Kelly returned for Halo 5? They could make separate campaigns for them. Now THAT would make me happy. For Linda, they could give us all sniper missions and ridiculous auto-aim abilities, for Kelly they could give us unlimited speed boost, and for Fred they could give us unlimited UNSC weapon ammo Yeah, I know, they'll never do this, but someone should seriously tell 343 to make a game featuring all of this. |

Still more knowledgeable than me. As for that idea, that would be pretty awesome if they did something like that. When I first heard about reach being made into a video game years ago I was expecting to play as master chief leading his original spartan squad into battle against the covenant and was disappointed when I learned that we would be taking control of another spartan and noble team. I doubt they would give each spartan their own personal levels since Chief is the star of the game, but fighting along side them like we fought along side noble team in reach would be good enough for me.  |

I doubt they would give each spartan their own personal levels since Chief is the star of the game, but fighting along side them like we fought along side noble team in reach would be good enough for me. I was actually looking forward to it. I think it was a nice break from all of the constant Master Chief action. Not that there is anything wrong with constant Master Chief action, seeing as he is a total bad ass I suppose its just wishful thinking on my part, but they did dedicate a whole game to ODST troops, so it could be possible. If they don't give us separate campaigns, I hope they'll have a system similar to Castlevania III, (yes, I know, I'm always talking about Castlevania. I can't help it. I'm a retro gamer  ) where you can swap out characters on the fly after you've actually met up with the character you want to swap out with. So maybe Master Chief could bump into Kelly, for example, and she'll tag along with you until you find Linda and Fred, then they'll tag along with you as well. All four of them will have their unique abilities from the novels, such as Kelly's super speed or Linda's insane sniping, which could be useful in certain situations. Wow, how did I come up with that? I must be really out of it. Now THAT will never happen Well, as long as they bring back the Halo A-Team, I'll be fine. Well, most of the Halo A-Team (R.I.P. other Spartans  ) |

I have read all of the books except for a recent few, and I know a lot about Halo...I am a super fan.... |

I overheard one of the Spartans in the hangar bay (when you first meet them in the campaign) talk about Kelly. They referred to her by her call sign and said something about how her speed would be really useful right now. I looked it up on the wiki and yep, they were referring to Kelly. So this leads me to believe that she is training Spartan IV's somewhere. That is kriffing awesome. Kelly has always been my #1 favorite Spartan. |

Also, the energy sword vs. lightsaber duel Then, when it showed the female Master Chief and Samus holding hands and stuff I literally went, "Awwww..." Couldn't help it. That scene was so beautiful. |

Hooray! My Halo books arrived in the mail today. I got a box set that contains: Halo: Contact Harvest, Halo: The Cole Protocol, and Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. I also got the new definitive edition for The Fall of Reach that has new artwork and bonus material. Pretty awesome I'm going to be reading them in this order: 1. Contact Harvest 2. The Cole Protocol 3. The Fall of Reach 4. First Strike (when I get the money) 5. Ghosts of Onyx Then I'll pick up the rest of the books. But anyway, I think this is the best order for continuity purposes. I also plan on buying the Anniversary Edition of Halo: CE, so I can play that after the Fall of Reach and before First Strike. I'm pretty sure that Halo 2 comes right after First Strike, but I'm not sure. Anyone know? |
