Zeon001:i didnt say you were destroying it....i said contact harvest is....it is the first encounter and they meet the brutes which to me dosnt make sense....and it would be in FS that you read about the brutes
Hello! A quick comment:
A number of people have voiced their concerns about certain
inconsistencies regarding Contact Harvest and the earlier Halo novels.
However, all of this is easily explained; the Haloverse is built off
certain levels of canon. When something new and more 'correct' is
introduced to the universe, it takes preference over earlier
statements. This is the way Bungie operates and is one of the best ways
to approach Haloverse canon.
Joseph Staten addresses this on HBO: http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive28.pl?read=847640
So, while MC and Friends seem to be surprised by and know little of the
Jiralhanae in Nylund's First Strike, this is layered over by Staten's
account in CH. They would have had
some knowledge of them,
unless you're a person who likes to have it both ways and try to
fabricate reasons why such vital info would be kept from ole Chiefy. :)
(Apologies for the ramble, but posted just in case anyone at all was confused about certain conflicting story elements.)
