Re: That's stupid from a gaming standpoint *SP*

: True enough, though if one bares in mind that most Halo players have never : read any of the novels, they probably won't find any of the : inconsistencies that have caused such an uproar. : If you hadn't read FoR, then a lot of the issues in the game vanish. This. Strictly gamewise, as far I know, the story is internally consistent. Additional material contained with the video game release(s) should also be consistent and expansive with game knowledge, giving more depth and detail, answering some questions. Third party content is almost guaranteed to introduce inconsistencies, even if based on pure canon. But it's the third party content that truly helps expand a universe. It's the same for any franchise that takes on an epic life of its own beyond the initial medium. Usually at that point it's the fan community that helps keep things together simply due to the enormous unmanageable wealth of detail and history that comes from so much 'inspired' content.
