When the Spartans arrived there, they found nothing but sand. When they left, the sand had turned red.

Dat description.

I wonder when the time that gamers will be able to welcome new ideas without the act of being cynical in the first contact.

FYI

This Josh Henderson guy stole the story from some guy who started writing it 9 years ago, and is now selling it illegally on Amazon without the authors permission, while breaking Microsoft's Terms of Use.

The blurb I posted isn't even accurate of the story. There's no Spartans in it according to the author.

If there's any proof then bring it up to Amazon. (Which is what someone did in the first place anyway, so no need to be an angry mob with pitchforks around the fire)

There's a shit-ton of proof. Hell, all the proof there is is that it's not backed by Microsoft or 343i and is making money off of the brand name.

I don't need to though. Knowledge of this book has spread far in the lore community. Including to the original author of the fan-fic.

I'm not angry about the book. I just think it's hilarious.

Everyone else is angry because they think it's canon. (Which I have no idea how they thought that.)

That's it, if the story of Halo 5 is shit, then i am fucking done, D.O.N.E with 3fail3 indrushits.

What the fuck are you crying about? This book isn't canon, it's fan fiction that's being illegally sold.

I just love the amount of people that immediately rant about 343i and H5's plot without reading any o the comments noting that its a fanfic.

The tears are delicious.

It's a funny combination of delicious and depressing that the Halo community is this misguided.

Let's be honest though. It's not like Travis was much better.

Why did you edit the post to say Bear?

I'm confused.
