Halo Books - anyone read em?

chief91
The halo books are actually pretty good books there about 300 pages long each and their a good break from video games the first one in the series is titled halo:fall of reach which is about how the chief was trained and who started the spartan program and wat the chiefs real name is and his fellow spartans book 2 is called halo:the flood which is a more detailed version of halo1 it talks about wat the marines were doing while the chief was off killin everything and stuff like that more backstory the third book is called halo:first strike this is about wat happens between the end of halo1 and the beginning of halo2 it personally is my favorite in the series it talks about how the covenant found earth and a few other things there very good books and there only 20 bucks if u buy them together.

Actually they came out about a year after the game. I have tried to read them, and they are just messed up. It's a lot more fun for me to play the games rather than read the books. Yes, they are short, and yes, they are descriptive, but I prefer playing to reading anyday.

yes i would rather play halo then read the books. but i read them all at least once. ill bring them if im going on a long car ride or something like that. they are good and descriptive, and they give a lot of info on how things happens like when the covenant found earth. or when they talk about when reach fell you can know what they are talking about. it is also pretty cool to learn how the taught the spartans on reach. they are great books i thought. they are supposed to be coming out with another book sometime soon.

I have read the books, although it was quite a while ago when I did. If my memory is correct, I found them for the most part very good, better than most books based on games. Not the thing I enjoy reading the most, but I recommend you read them if you haven't.

Honestly i am a pretty big fan of halo and i never even knew that there were halo books that exsist. What are these books even about, do they just follow the story of what happens in the halo campaign or something? i am kind of wondering of what these books are all about because i am a big fan of halo so i would defiantley like their books. Can someone give me somemore information on this because i want to find out what this is all about now.

The books are just a detailed version of halo. They tell you about what happened between the games and stuff like that.

Questions
Halo Books

First of all its refugees from Madrigal not Harvest, that are living and trading with the Kig-Yar on the Rubble. And secondly, where does the story go from here? What happens after the spartans go into the center of Onyx, and what new mission does the spartan Grey team go on next? It seems like every time a book comes out they leave you with a cliff hanger like onyx and the next book that comes out is completely different and many years in the past. I mean do we have to wait for them to write another book? Or are we just gonna have to write our own book in our heads and call it good? Its upsetting. I mean I love the series. I've read every one. I'm just tired off waiting for sequels that don't come. So I guess my questions are, what happens after they go into the center of Onyx, where does the spartan grey team go next, and are they gonna make sequels to those books or are they just gonna make new stories? Either way its time for another book.

the halo book are the best part of the series because it give u a true understanding of the halo universe because everybody thinks that all the other spartens are dead and thats just not true their are more spartins alive like sparten 117 John's whole team Fred, Kelly, Linda and Kurt 

and kurt is responsible for training the sparten 3s 

one thing I hate about the game is the it makes master cheif out to be some unstopable all power full sparten and thats not true FRED can kick his ass and has LINDA can out stelth and out sniper him and KELLY is the fastest sparten their is the whole concept of the spartens is for them to function in 3 to 5 member teams and thats what I want to see in a game beacuse of now in the timeline of halo fred, kelly, linda, kurt, cheif petty officer mendez, dr halsey,and 8 sparten 3s are stuck in the core of of the planet onyx which is the only safe place to be when the rings go off and 117 is out fighting he need to find them and get them out and kick the covenents  ***

You,ve got it all wrong.
Halo Books

You are a **ol Chefworm. The Arbiter Got the mark of shame because he failed to stop the chief from destroying the ring. He was later made the Arbiter and sent to kill the heretic leader. After this was done, he was sent to Alpha Halo (installation 05)to retrieve that rings index, which the covenant named the "Sacrad icon". After Tartarus (the relly big brute with the white mo-hawk) betrayed him and took the index (the prophets ordered him to do this), the Gravemind captured the Arbiter and The Chief and told the Arbiter of Halos true purpose. He sent them both to capture the index to create a diversion which allowed him to make a slipspace jump into High Charity and infect it. The Arbiter however, went and led an assault on the control room when he, in a Banshee, and Sergent Johnson,in a Scarab formed the alliance with the humans.He, the Elites, and the humans then went back to Earth to try to find the Ark.

 I REALLY hope this clears things up.

I am the biggest halo fan and I don't own these books but I have read online that the first one is when the last of the spartan II soldiers died other than Master Chief. The Flood book is about I think its when they found out about halo when master chief told them when he came back on the pillar of autumn he froze himself till the future to tell the humans about the great journey the Prophets have told the covenant but the great journey is just to destroy the human race so they can activate the halos and destroy the universe. The arbriter is the one covenant elite who knew what the Prophets were talking about The Great Journey and so the big brute guy I cant remember his name that is in halo 2 burns him with the mark of shame that you can use as an emblem in halo 2 and 3. The arbriter then recruits followers to bring down the covenant with the halp of the humans and Spartan-117 but in their way is the heretic leader  wich you have to kill in halo 2 level the arbriter then take down the prophet of regret and after the prophet of regret is dead then all of the covenant eltes and some grunts and jackals team up with Chief and try to take down the Big Brute (still don't know his name)  only the elites with swords help against the Big Brute (his new name) many of which do not survive(note that the prophet of Reconciliation is dead) in the process and in the game halo 3 (I'm referencing to games now bc I don't know the names to the books, and people know the game better) the arbriter want t take down the Prophet of Truth but while he tries Gravemind the leader of the infection interfears even though you don't fight gravemind he is on halo wich gets destroyed in the end of the game and at the end of the game John makes it to the frigate Forward Unto Dawn and drifts to space but if you beat the last level on Legendary and wait till after all the credits there will be a video of chief on the frigate with cortona and freezes again in his little podd thing he was on, on the Pillar Of Autumn and tells cortana to wake him when she needs him and I read in a blog on bungie.Net that the makers of halo are saying "I hope all these new Halo games will keep them busy until Halo 4" Me and my friends on xbox live cant wait! If you want to be my friend I can fill you in with all kinds of halo information my gamertag is chefwurm.

I have read all the book and I can say I loved them all. I'm working my way back through them right now because of the recent announcement of Halo: Reach. A game that will be (soposibly) following the plot of the book.

    metal slab, the grenade will bounce around indefinitely, never exploding. Also, on AotC, before

    non-target material, they will locate the nearest enemy and bounce off in that direction. Thus, this
    weapon would not only be good for shooting around corners, but for flushing people out of cover. It
    would be very, very useful. In team games, you could have one person have duel n....

    that they can produce quality games. not alot of ppl play halo with majority of gamers prefering to
    stick with counter-strike because it can be run on practically any computer and doesnt require an
    expensive upgrade to play it.....
