Re: Who's the writer for Halo 4?

In Response To: Re: Who's the writer for Halo 4? (TDSpiral)


: My impression was that the writing for Halo 4 is a collective effort of a
: bunch of different people. Like how they talked about Greg Bear getting a
: look at the game, and it seemed like he's sort of directing the Forerunner
: aspects of the game.

: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is just one or two big writers on the game.

: I'm probably gonna get shit for this and the next thing I'm going to say, but
: I don't actually really like Nylund's Halo novels. Sure, they're the
: originals, and there's good parts in there, but there's something about
: them that just don't do it for me. It might just be because I read them
: MUCH later on, and by that time they felt dated. Although I usually end up
: liking all of the Halo novels that most people hate, so my tastes in
: fiction are probably just messed up.

: Like Cole Protocol- I could actually picture it taking place in the Halo
: Universe. It didn't really take any risks, and the story didn't really
: lead into anything important, but I still liked it.

: Again, probably gonna get flak for this, but I thought Glasslands was
: probably the best piece of Halo fiction to date. There were some annoying
: parts with Halsey (Traviss overdid the war-criminal thing), and the book
: can be pretty slow, but I loved the characters.

I enjoyed Glasslands a lot as well. I might get a different kind of flack for this, but I don't particularly care about her or any other author's characterizations. I'm in this for the information. I play the games as if they are in the now, so when I read the novels I just want to know what happened before and whats gonna happened next.
