Re: Core. Peripheral. Fringe.
Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org>Date: 9/10/08 7:41 a.m.

In Response To: Core. Peripheral. Fringe. (My7hos)


: I think a good system would involve three categories: Core : The Halo
: Trilogy (perhaps including Halo Wars), and all game-related information.
: That's %100 irrefutable information.

Definitely NOT including Halo Wars.

: Peripheral : The books, comics, Neill Blomkamph's (spelling?) shortfilms,
: etc. Information that is not necessary to understand the core plot of the
: Halo series, but explains the history, gaps between games, and goes deeper
: in lore than the Halo games were able to.

I'd put the books pretty high up in the canon order. Films, not so much. (I can't think of anything off the top of my head I didn't like about the Blomkamp shorts - but I'm pretty sure Bungie didn't have a lot of input.)

: Fringe : ILB, Iris, Spartan-Nicole from Dead or Alive 4, etc. Fringe canon
: is canon is really isn't important to the series at all, and is disputed
: as official canon.

You're missing stuff like the info on the back of the Halo action figures, the Bestiary (which conflicts in some places with the game manuals), etc.
