In Response To: Re: Yes, it is. (Bry) : Which is exactly why I like it when we get proper official sources. : Wow, that's a great big chunk you quoted there and I don't really know which : bit of it your specifically referring to... : Still... what is Halo about..? I am intriqued of what you might mean there. : Can we not have a desire to learn more about certain aspects that are hinted : at but never fleshed out when they have a specific appeal to us? : ...Hmm, this could be long... : Let me clarify to a degree what I am talking about. : Remember those articles Bungie did that went into detail about the weapons? : Or the Warthog too for that matter? : We got information like the manufacturers name, the unit cost (one M9 HE-DP : Grenade, that'd be 30 UNSC credits please), some real geeky technical : details which most people probably don't care about. : And personally, I find some of that interesting and I'd certainly say its : learning about the background universe. : Something like that for everything in the UNSC inventory would be something : nice to have IMO. : I'd especially like to know a lot more about the Pelican, Longsword, Seraph : and Phantom. : There is precedent in other words. : Perhaps some of my topics of interest in Halo are not what Halo 'is all : about', but I enjoy it, am interested and find it entertaining. : Is that not what matters at the end of the day? : Anyways, I guess it just isn't as simple for me to look at Halo references as : it used to be. : I increasingly looking to the novels as more like a secondary canon source. I : found myself increasingly less trusting of them, with the exception of : Contact Harvest because it is quite literally from the horses mouth (No : offence Mr Staten!). : Then this little post cropped up... actually, I should have reminded us of : this earlier since its pretty relevant to the topic and its from our good : friend and trusted beacon of guidance, Joe Staten himself: : http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive28.pl?read=847640 : Joe really changed a lot of how I look at the Haloverse with that simple : post, and not just because he was replying to me, though that certainly : made me kind of giddy at the time. : It introduced a lot of doubt to me. : I began questioning all kinds of things in the novels or older games : thinking; "Is this still relevant? Is it now inaccurate?" : BTW, Joe also pretty much says ILB is, in theory, canonical there, Bungie did : approve its creation after all. : But its waaay way way down on the list of canonical influence. : I personally probably wouldn't make reference to it at all given its : controversial history already. Sweet, I missed that post by Staten during my hiatus. That's exactly how I view it too. I am glad that Bungie at least acknowledges ILB as "pseudo-canon". Now I'm interested in knowing Staten's take on Halo Wars and the other Halo games. Would they be "under" the novels or "between" the Bungie games and novels? I am glad that Bungie, including Staten, at least takes into account other's work in the Halo universe. Otherwise I would not the respect that I have for them.

Where's the Chief?
