Re: I think we hold the books in too high a regard

In Response To: Re: I think we hold the books in too high a regard (dizzy) : I think you're all forgetting that Bungie themselves have read every book and : said on multiple occasions that it's canon. That's why fans (like myself) : are getting mad. Especially when you establish something in two different : books and then throw it out the window for the games. It honestly wouldn't : have been that much more effort to work around what was already : established in the books and craft something awesome. : Again I will reiterate: BUNGIE THEMSELVES APPROVED THE BOOKS AS CANON. Yes : the games come first, but the books are still supposed to be canon. And ok : yeah the books were written when there was only one game. So because there : was only one game when the prequel to Halo was written, means that it : should just all be abandoned when Bungie wants to make a game out of that : novel? This. If you keep retconning your canon with new stuff, you're setting dangerous precedent for others and giving yourself a lot more work to do. As it is now, FoR is going to need a pretty massive rewrite thanks to H:R.
