This does not remove spoilers within the submission. I mean to be fair bungie made halo. They made the universe and the lore. Then a bunch of people unliscensed by them went and expanded upon that lore and in a lot of ways decided what the lore would be themselves. Who is to say the lead writing team didn't have other ideas on the back stories in the universe. I am not saying that I disagree with the existence of the books and the decision the community have made on what is canon or not, but at the end of the day they are books based around a video game series and the video game series decides what is canon and what is not. Just like bungie had the right to decide what from all of the fan fiction they wanted to embrace and what they didn't feel fit into their Halo universe.
They did, and he's wrong. 'Eric Nylund had discussed the possibility of a Halo related novel with Eric Trautmann, a member of Microsoft's Franchise Development Group, before Halo: Combat Evolved was developed but it was postponed due to legal technicalities.4 Nylund thought positively of the delay as it 'gave him a chance to see the game in almost every stage of development before he started writing.' 4 He wrote the book based on an outline approved by Bungie and the 'Halo Story Bible', a book containing all information on the characters and universe in which Halo takes place,5 so that his story would not conflict with other Halo publications. Nylund found it easier to write with the 'Bible' available as the details of the universe he was writing in were already established,6 only minor alterations were made to fit the novel into the universe.4 A seven-week deadline was established for Nylund to write the book.' No, it wasn't made before CE's storyline was finished, and I didn't say so.

I was taking issue with your saying that Reach was referenced as being ruined before the book even existed, which is just false. Reach is mentioned once in CE, as far as I remember, and all that you're told is that the Covenant followed you from there. And that very well could have been added in to go along with the book, just because the storyline was finished doesn't mean that the script was final (in fact, it most certainly wasn't). Bungie approved everything that was included in TFOR, as stated by Eric Nylund himself. It wasn't some fan fiction or anything like that, it was an integrated part of the universe that Bungie fully accepted, and had the opportunity to shape before the book was released. If anything changes in the script spurring from the book would have to have happened at least part way through the conception of the book. I think a reasonable time period would be at the earliest half way through it's writing.
Do you not know how long it takes to do the production of the actual physical game prior to release. For example they are already packaging and making Halo 5, approximately 7 weeks before release (weird).
There are absolutely no changes this late in the game.

Remastered Marathon games released free on PC, Mac, Linux Bungie oldies bounce back. Senior Staff Writer Old Bungie games Marathon, Marathon 2: Durandal and Marathon Infinity have been remastered and released, for free, on PC, Mac and Linux. You can download them from the (via ). The Marathon trilogy has been available as freeware online for six years. The important point here is the 'remastered' part.
Open source project Aleph One has enhanced Bungie's Marathon games with OpenGL shader support, online co-op and multiplayer, mouse-look, game pad support and plug-in support for mods. And after 12 years, Aleph One has just reached version 1.0, which enables multiple platform support and brings new graphical capabilities.
Specifically, Marathon now has a modern HUD, high resolution graphics and 'extensive changes to the scenario'. Marathon 2: Durandal has the high resolution graphics seen in the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game. And Marathon Infinity also now sports high resolution looks. Marathon, released originally in 1994, was Halo creator Bungie's second ever game. It's was/is a futuristic first-person shooter set on colony spaceship called Marathon, which aliens invade.
Marathon was billed as the Mac's answer to Doom on PC. Marathon 2: Durandal appeared a year later on PC then Mac. The game was tarted up for Xbox Live Arcade in 2007. Eurogamer's awarded 6/10.
Marathon Infinity, released in 1996, reverted back to Mac and ended the trilogy. The eye-catching Infinity addition was Forge, Bungie's level-creating software that fans of Halo will be familiar with.
