Re: Just checked out the Essential Visual Guide

In Response To: Re: Just checked out the Essential Visual Guide (vociferous)


: I actually just picked it up myself, but I haven't had a chance to really
: give the final copy a read-through yet either. Thanks for the kind words
: and much thanks again to Loftus for being so awesome with his work here.
: He's an asset to the Halo community and we were happy to have someone who
: loves Halo so much help us with a product like this. Makes me happy to see
: his name in this book. Thank you, Stephen! :-)

: Tony, I can't promise you answers to every question you might have here, but
: I can do my best to answer some of the queries you've got above so far. I
: know you guys are paying closer attention to this stuff than anyone else,
: so hopefully we did you justice: 1) The S-IIIs on Noble are under the UNSC
: Army's Special Warfare operational jurisdiction, though the SPARTAN-III
: project itself is administratively part of the Naval Special Weapons
: division, which is the Navy. This was established in Halo: Reach and
: Bungie.net did a great deal of the groundwork here as well.

: 2) Nah, Rogue armor is just like any other MJOLNIR armor set, except that its
: origins are from the private sector (not exclusive, but rare). Not sure
: how the text left you with the impression that someone could outright buy
: it. They're costly suckers. :-)

: 3) That the UNSC has an Air Force was already established previous in Halo:
: Reach's Armory. The role of the UNSC's Air Force in the 26th century,
: however, has not been elaborated on.

: Just a note for folks: I did notice a few typos and fudges here and there,
: some of the bonehead-caliber and others which are far more granular - ALL
: are being noted and fixed at the next possible opportunity. Yes, the AR is
: in ODST and the Master Chief's weight without armor is 286.6lbs (130kg),
: though the weight provided in the book is not meaningless. :-)

Honored to have been a part of it! :D

I just might be the last to see this thing...it's often a book is a week behind the publication date way up here. Can't wait to see the images.
