Protip: it was Grid 13 x 24 in the book.
The Engineers didn't exactly appreciate the Covenant. I can imagine them withholding knowledge, and the Covenant don't know anything about it. Deliberately playing stupid.

So I JUST finished reading the book.
The good writing is put off by the fact that the Forerunners and Precursors have been ruined in their entirety (for me at least). Good job Greg Bear, I don't think I'll ever buy anything Halo ever again (not that it matters but whatever).
Reach ruined multiplayer for me, and Greg Bear and Microsoft or who ever the fuck commissioned him to write this just ruined the story and canon.
Fuck this.

At first I thought this was the title of the 343 Industries title and got excited.
Then I realized it was about this pos book and got depressed.
:smithicide:
On one hand, the book disproves that stupid "humans and forerunner are the same species" theory, but on the other hand, it made humanity's backstory even worse than that. I just don't see what it adds to the Halo universe. Same with Reach's data pads.
They killed the awe and wonder. Yay.
My version is better. Bungie's version is no longer canon, in my opinion, because they are obviously terrible at making and approving stories.
This is the first Halo book I've refused to read, since it completely fucks up the story. Am not happy :maddowns:
Same here. I don't even want to know what they did. From bits and piece I've read, IQuote:

If I wasn't so wrapped up in school and my own universal project, I would definitely want to write some short fictions to combat this irresponsible defacing of a good idea.
So many things to write, so little time. I have, in order of importance to me:
-Expanse project (novels + drawings)
-Post-Expanse project (short fiction + comic)
-The American Manifesto (political paper)
-Battlezone: Truman Era (writings + drawings)
-Forerunner timeline
-Halo re-imagining (set of drawings and minor alterations to the back story to clean it up)
Why must school be such a grind?
It's not having the answers... it's having the answers revealed in Scooby Doo "It's the Professor!!" moments.Quote:
