I generally hate this fiction in generally. It totally defeats the mysticism and power of the Forerunners in many respects. Hurrrrrr this seems even more and more like just another Sci-Fi story and not another HALO story. I liked Halo because it was different enough from Stargate/Star Trek canonically speaking. Now it's slightly ruined because some dumb-minded writers decided to write canon for a universe they've barely dwelled in. That's probably what makes hate this situation the most; hardly any of them actually have actually dwelled in this universe.
