Halo Forerunner novels

I remember back in elementary school, sometimes for science class we would do things like that to study centrifigal force (although I suppose it was really centripidal force). It was fun. Especialy when someone let go and the techer got soaked (it was always the teacher lol).

centrifugal force does not exsist

I know; didn't you see that part?

The author seems like he would do a good job if it didn't have a Forerunner story. From the article it says he tries to make things seem real. Forerunner made light solid, created ringworlds with artificial gravity, a weapon that kills everything in an entire galaxy in a small span of time. Forerunner just doesn't seem his style.

I think this novel might either be amazing or bad depends on what he writes about the forerunners(Forerunner-flood war anyone?) He has to get the technology right(which we still know almost nothing about, so he could pull almost anything in this book) He probably will make the forerunners human like.

$10 says the whole series will lead up to "humans are forerunners"

Wouldnt doubt it. I love the Halo series and all the books that go with it, but I think they need to put an end to it. When somethings good, let it die good. Dont let it die with people going "ugh FINALLY".

I assumed Halo was dead since it just repeated the story three times...

but, if the books have a good plot, and make sense, then I will let Halo die peaceful. If not, I will find Bungie and Microsoft and burn them both...

Bungie didn't do anything wrong, Microsoft owns Halo now.

Well, you know, I feel that I could have handled the Halo Franchise better than Microsoft did.
Bungie was basically forced to go back to Halo due to hardware constraints, and they wanted to save an Earth Battle for when they actually had the graphics power to do it properly.

If I was Microsoft, I would have given the guys at Bungie as much time as they need to finish Halo 2, so they wouldn't set themselves up for 'The same ol' crap as before' in Halo 3. Hell, I'd make Bungie finish the fight on EARTH, because that's basically what they promised.

ES would not get to make Halo Wars, or any other part of the Halo Franchise.

Honestly, I think bringing Greg Baer into the loop is a good idea. He's a very good writer (As a writer, not just as a 'science fiction Kleenex') and he's a pillar of the hard sci-fi genre, which is what Halo falls into. StarCraft and WH40K are examples of what is not hard sci-fi.

Next author we need to reel in: Timothy Zahn.

Well how would you have handled the Halo 2 and 3 story? What would you have done that would make it different?

hell ya!

Oh they will.

Removing the last mystery about the Forerunners isn't the smartest move in my opinion.

I'm for Timothy Zahn though.

Ya I think we should still keep the forerunners mysterious.

Its not going to make sense to anyone who isn't deep into Halo lore..

This is going to epicly fail
