New Halo Novel Announced, World Yawns
Slick Icarus | 10:05 AM on 06.27.2008 9 comments




For the three of you who actually care about the plot of Halo, The Cole Protocol has been announced. Seriously, does anybody really play Halo for the plot? Why would anybody want to read this when they could just play Halo 3 again or *gasp* read a real book? Lovecraft, Phillip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, hell, even Douglas Adams, just to name a few. Anyway, maybe I'm just angry that literature has become such an ignored medium of entertainment. Maybe I should be happy that some people who would never read a book otherwise now have something to read.

Naaaah, I just hate Halo.

I'm not really too interested in this either (I'm a huge fan of teh Halo series though), but I know a lot of people who will be.


I'm still waiting for the next Mass Effect book, though.


Also, no need to be hatin'. seriously.

I'm not going to lie. I like the Halo novels (most of them anyway). The games actually do a really bad job of telling the plot but the books are a pretty fun read.

That said, I wouldn't say I'm excited for this. But I will probably get around to reading it one day.

But yeah, I'm more excited for the new Mass Effect book.

I'll get it because I like the Halo universe but the games themselves barely explain the verse around you. Heck in the Halo: CE, they don't even explain the course of actions that led you to Halo.

Yeah I know, it's not HD or adapting to technology. Bawwwww.

What are you talking about? I read all the time, and know tons of people who read more than they game, and they LOVE games.

Also if you hate Halo, then why does this blog exist?

I don't hate Halo, just the dozens of clones it has spawned.

I like the Halo books. I'm just about done with First Strike. I really enjoy the story of Halo, but the games do a shitty job of telling it. Fall of Reach is an excellent book if you are curious how the Spartan program started.

I think its ok if it gets kid into reading, like you said. But yeah, lets hope they step up the quality of their literary intake one day.
