Template:Under Construction This is a list of changes made into the content of the three first Halo novels in the 2010 Tor Books reissues.
Halo: The Fall of Reach
- Main article: Halo: The Fall of Reach
- The dropship used by the SPARTAN-II trainees in chapter 5 is changed from a Pelican[1] into an Albatross.[2]
- Several references to the Sangheili being a never-before seen Covenant species prior to the Fall of Reach are altered. When Dr. Halsey briefs the Spartans for Operation: RED FLAG in chapter 26, the line
- During the Spartans' mission to Reach Station Gamma in chapter 35, the following sentence:
- In chapter 29, the sentence
- "From this distance, the Pillar of Autumn could have been mistaken for an elongated frigate."[7]
- is changed into:
- "From this distance, the Pillar of Autumn could have been mistaken for a Marathon-class carrier."[8]
- It should be noted that this is an error, as Marathon is actually a class of cruiser.
- The number of the Covenant ships present at the battle over Reach is changed from 314 to "well over seven hundred".[9] This may be due to a line spoken by Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood in Halo 2, where he states that the fleet that destroyed Reach was "fifty times" the size of Regret's fleet. However the change is only done once while all other instances state the fleet consists of 314 ships. This likely just a mistake.
Halo: The Flood
- Main article: Halo: The Flood
Halo: First Strike
- Main article: Halo: First Strike
- The formerly unidentified Covenant excavation machines at Menachite Mountain are now stated to be Scarabs.[10]
- Similar to the changes regarding the Elites in The Fall of Reach, references to the Jiralhanae as a supposedly "new" Covenant species are changed in chapter 33:
- "Also be advised, Chief, that there are ceremonial guards in this temple—a race we have not encountered before. Roughly translated from Covenant dialects, they are called 'Brutes'. They shouldn't be a significant threat or they would have been used in previous military situations."[11]
- is changed into:
- "Also be advised, Chief, that there are Brutes in this temple. They shouldn't be a significant threat."[12]
- Also, in the next paragraph, the sentence "The name "Brute" didn't sound promising." is removed.
- On the same page, the sentence
- "The creature Cortana had called a "Brute" stepped from the shadows and faced John."[11]
- is changed into:
- "The Brute stepped from the shadows and faced John."[12]
