I'm pretty sure they're considered more to be graphic novels, or at least there are some graphic novels. Come to think of it, I think there's both graphic and regular novels for Halo. Both are considered canon as far as I know.

 

The Halo Graphic Novel, I think, is mostly non-canon. Or at least the art is. The Scarab, for example, looks a lot different I think. The novels are canon, though.

on a side note, the halo 3 achievement "vidmaster challenge: annual" is a complete [bleep] to get. you've gotta beat the final level on legendary mode, with 4 people, the iron skull on (if anyone dies you go back to the last checkpoint), and you've gotta finish on ghosts. took me and 3 friends 2 hours and 20 minutes, probably close to an hour of which took place on the last part of the level with the exploding floor and crap.

Yea there's The graphic novel,

 

Halo: The Flood which is just the first halo with some extra snippets about what happened to captain keyes after he crashed, etc.

 

Halo: First Strike, which tells about how M.C. gets home, slightly referenced to at the beginning of Halo 2 when gunny asks how they got home.

 

Halo: Ghosts of Onyx tells about the training of new "Spartan-III's" that are deployed when a large group of people go missing on a planet named Onyx.

 

Halo: Contact Harvest tells how the whole human vs covenant war started.

 

Halo: Fall of Reach tells how the spartan II's came to be pretty much. Then there is Halo: The Cole Protocol, but I couldn't find a link for it -.- They're all good books (but I haven't read the graphic novel), The flood is kind of iffy because if you've played the first game, you'll know what this is.

You forgot the Cole protocol, it's the newest. Haven't read it, but I think it's about the formation of UNSC policy in dealing with the Covenant (ie the Cole protocol, where any UNSC ship in danger of being captured must wipe its nav computers and destroy its shipboard AI. Also, any fleeing ships must jump on a randomized vector away from any UNSC territory.)

It's in there, after the fall of reach. Explains why I didn't have a link ;)

Got through the first few missions on Halo Wars OK. It seems ok, I keep accidentaly sending all my units instead of just the ones on my screen, then I worked out selecting all units actually selects every unit :P

 

 

 

Havn't had much of a chance to play my 360 since I got it though.

...In 2 days. I don't think I'm going to buy them right away. I don't really play Halo 3, or even Xbox, enough to justify the $12.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

It's experience.

Just one quick question, are the legendary map packs gonna be free once the mythic map packs are released?

 

 

 

As of now, the Legendary pack currently costs 600 MS points.

 

 

 

And lol, Orbital is the bomb for Objective games.

I'm being a noob here, but does anyone here play the Halo 1 trial? (Downloadable from microsoft, not sure if it still works) It's for the pc. I don't own an xbox 360, nor a xbox anyway. And, I've tried Halo 2 on my friend's xbox, not used to the controls, still prefer wasd. Plus it's expensive. No Halo 3 for the pc I think.

 

 

 

Should I get the Halo 2 for the pc?

 

I play the Halo 1 trial, mostly because not even Counterstrike 1.6 will run on my computer well enough to dominate (I'm pretty good at it if I may say so myself ;) ).

"Oh, Mike!"

Halo 1 trial was fun before i got an xbox 360, especially those "RatLock in Japan" games (I dont know if they had it back then or now). Still aiming with the mouse is hard, I think the controller is much much easier.

Several people from Bungie have stated several times that the Legendary Map Pack will never be free.

The other day I got booted from rumble pit for Teamkilling an afk. It was infection, we were zombies, I spawned and he was just sitting there, so I killed him just because. 5 minutes later I'm booted and I think "wtf? Oh, that....." :lol:

Ever really fail inside of a Halo 3 Matchmade game? How about a custom?

 

Register and post in this thread and give us your vid clips for our Failtage montage. It could show how badly you can fail, or how badly others you play fail. You get your name in the credits, and if even one person from Tip.it enters, forum.tip.it is included in the titles!

 

 

 

And it dosen't just have to be you either, it can be for another guy who you were playing with!
