Halo: Evolutions

I just got my copy in the mail today, about to start reading the stories inside.

Anyone else here buy it? Remember, spoiler tags!

On a side note, I'm interested to see how Frankie's writing pans out. Assuming it is his writing (editor help excluded) and not just his idea.

Yes. I posted this in Tech Talk. "Games, gadgets, ...". Maybe it is time to merge H2V, H3, and ODST into a Halo sub-forum? CE should be a sibling forum still though. With Reach I'm sure we'll see a similar system in terms of variant files (game types, maps, etc) and media (films, screens, etc) so a generic system could be used for both H3/ODST and later Reach for the "release" subforum

Wait, this is setting up a Forerunner novel trilogy?

We think the same way.

I'm probably going to receive Evolutions as a holiday gift, but I'm looking forward to it.

I agree. There's no need for so many Halo subforums. Speaking of which, I still don't understand why we have a "Source" forum and a separate "Orange Box" forum.

Not really. It is mostly just some stories that wrap around some of the more open ended aspects of the Halo-verse. The first story is about a Spartan who gets recruited and gets the whole upgrade. Without saying much though, they totally leave a big question mark at the end of the story. It was made obvious the question wasn't something to be over looked either

WTF did they take for the "rebel cause"? Mendez almost mentions it but then catches himself

i think it had something to do with the advances of the engine for HL2 ep 2 and it's siblings.

still source but the updated engine was different, and thus was a bit different to mod.
was a long time ago we last discussed this so dont take it as gospel.

Sorry KM for the thread jack.

on topic:
The halo universe is a pretty cool one, but with the over commercialization of it i just dont have the interest to keep dwelving into it past the games :/
i still havnt played H3.
