In Response To: Well yeah... (My7hos) : I don't see why not. It's a game, pretty official, there. So far, two reasons: While MS owns Halo, they didn't create it. Bungie did. Bungie makes games, and they made Halo 1, 2 and 3. They aren't making Halo Wars. There has to be a serious line of demarcation between 1st and 3rd party materials, not just w/r/t MS but to Bungie, as they originated the IP. Second, Ensemble has already played fast and loose with reasonable conclusions one might draw from the primary sources, such as 1) Halo 1 is the first encounter of UNSC forces with a Halo, and 2) Halo 1 is the first encounter of UNSC forces with the Flood. Halo Wars takes both of those quite logical conclusions and junks them for the sake of having recognizable locations for fighting in and a 3rd race in gameplay situations. You can't retcon crap that way and still be considered a primary source, it muddies things way too much. : It wasn't meant to be an comprehensive list, just a general idea of a more...
It's worth doing. Set your 3 levels and make thresholds. 90-100% is Core, 60-90% is Peripheral, below 60% is Fringe. Or whatever.
