    Wondering where....

    I've read a few threads on this forum, and many of the posters are talking about things i've never heard of, such as how many Spartans tried out, and how many dropped out. or some other stuff that i haven't heard about.

    so i was just wondering where you guys learn about all these little details because i haven't noticed these in the games.

    Certainly. We are referring to the Halo Books.

    If you can't find the Halo Books, go here.

    Welcome to the forums, have a nice stay. 


    Lethe:

    Then you should be pretty happy with the game; it's a lot of fun.
    Even if a squad of marines out of dozens of units on a battle field has shoulder pads .25" too thick for a fanboy's tastes :)

    Inspires confidence, no?

    Re: Wondering where....

    There is a book series actually, they are a really good read even if you never played the games. They are Halo:Fall of Reach   Halo:The Flood   Halo:First Strike  and   Halo: Ghost of Onyx. These books go thru the complete history of the spartan II's and II's  and there is soon to be a new book that I dont remember the name, I think its called Contact Harvest?

     

    I just bought them off amazon. Got the first three books for like twelve bucks all together.

    I'm wondering something, too!

    Where did you guys find the information of StarCraft?  I remember faintly of Xel Naga mentioned in the game, but i never knew Protoss and Zerg were spawned because of them.

    And what the heck is a hybrid?  = )

    Re: Wondering where....

    Well, i learnt my stuff from the big old manual that came with it...99% of it is dedicated to the history of the 3 races, and covers the xel naga

    And if you can't get ahold of the halo books, you can find stuff on halo.wikia.com (halopedia) which as like everything on it

    In the secreat mission of starcraft brood war you are prottos and have to go through a mission in search of a guy named Artanis (of course you dont find him) Throughout the mission you find cells with etheir a prottos or a zerg unit in it. The last cell you find is very VERY heavily gaurded and when you get Zeratul on the beacon infront of the cell Zeratul just stands in horror and Duran pops up and says something about how its such a great creature. And of course Zeratul is mad and he says that this is maddning and that Duran needs to end this mad sceme (Duran is a infested terran guy who in my opinion is some kind of insane guy worshiping a unkown god. ) Duran laughs and says that this is the rebirth of some kind of god (which is the hybrid) and Zeratul leaves and is very scared of what might come in the future. One reason why the Xelnaga might be coming back is because they see the hybrids are comign back. and the arctifact thing might be the key to giving this hybrid god i talked about ALOT of power to even kill the mighty Xelnaga. Think of it this way the zerg are really good rushers and are cheap, but will kill all in swarms and the prottos are very powerful, but have limited numbers so think of those great powers coming together + a ancient artifact with large powers!!!!

    Re: Wondering where....

    Wasn't the zerg's ultimate goal to incorporate protoss into the zerg? because both of them are perfection in different forms, the protoss' are perfection (essence i think someone said) of the mind due to their phychic powers and tech, and the zerg are perfection of the body, due to their adaptability without tech, so you basicly have the perfect race if you combine them both..

    Protoss purity of Form

    Zerg purity of Essence
