The two short stories titled Petra and Tug-o-war in the adjunct section of the book. Is it possible that these stories were originally going to be included in Halo Evolutions?[[User talk:Halofan1234|Halofan1234]] 16:48, 28 January 2011 (EST)
== Paragraphs?? ==

The last section here seems to be far too long to me, I think we need to break it up into smaller, readable chunks - if others agree I will go ahead with it --[[User:Johnmcl7|Johnmcl7]] 04:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

==Finish Plot==

The plot of the book needs to be finished; it only goes about halfway through the book.
At the end of the book there is an adjunct section or bonus content we should start adding it to the article[[User talk:Halofan1234|Halofan1234]] 14:23, 22 January 2011 (EST)

== How many survived? ==

How many Marines survived the battle Installation 04??? And made it to this bit?? [[User:1st Lieutenant Aiden Smith|1st Lieutenant Aiden Smith]] 10:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Sergeant Major Johnson, Corperal Locklear (and ODST) Lieutenant Haverson (ONI) and Warrant Officer Polaski. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 11:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Though everyone is late for this about 11 years too late. 

Staff Sergeant / Gunnery Sergeant Marcus P. Stacker and Private First Class Chips Dubbo survived although they where never mentioned in the book, however if anyone wanted to fix the story then they will have to retcon it which will not be easy as we need full closure on what happens to Stacker and Dubbo.

== past tense ==

Does anyone else find this article extremely confusing with everything written in the past tense? especially when something in the past is talked about in this story(first strike) I think maybe the story happening in first strike should be written in the present tense.
:...all books seeing everyone in third person are written in past tense —[[User:Arbiter116|<font color="red">əґ</font>]][[User:Arbiter116|<font color="blue">ыţ</font>]][[User:Arbiter116|<font color="green">єґ</font>]][[User:Arbiter116|<font color="silver">ιιб</font>]]

==brutes==

if i remember correctly the brutes were first mentioned in this book as a "new species" never seen before. but wouldnt that contradict all of Contact Harvest since there were pretty much only brutes, i think something like that should be added to this and CH in the trivia section

[[User:Hollywood101x|Hollywood]]


Halo contradicts itself all the time. For example, in Halo 2 the battle rifle, a designated marksman's rifle according to Contact: Harvest, replaces the Ma5b, while halo canon tells us that the Ma5b was indeed still in use during the events of halo 2. I guess there were a lot of squad designated marksmen in Halo 2, huh? And then the AR simply returns as the primary weapon in halo 3.


It is possible that they were not properly reported or were assumed to be some sort of elite, or that humans were too busy freaking out about the planet being totally destroyed to worry about just one species of alien when they were all trying to kill them.

== Fred in tunnels under CASTLE ==

When Fred, Kelly, Dr. Halsey, and other Spartans were underground under ONI's CASTLE facility, fred got a cut on his finger when he touched a certain symbol. When he did this, the cavern opened up. I think it is possible that this is because his lood got on the symbol. Guilty Spark said to John "you are Forerunner. But this ring, it is MINE!" showing that at least that some humans are related to forerunners, and fred's blood opened the door, especially because spartans are genetically perfect.
should we incluse speculation about how his blood opens the door.

== Unyeilding Hierophant - Thel Vadamee? ==

Where is it stated in the book or any other official media that Thel Vadam[ee] was in command of the Unyielding Hierophant, and where is he mentioned in First Strike at all? He was in command of the Fleet of Particular Justice, and would have returned to High Charity to recieve his punishment for his loss of Halo in the opening of Halo 2, why he would be given the command of such a Fleet after is incompetence is unlikely. I will remove him from the list of characters and anything stating that he was in charge of the Unyielding Hierphant until proper sources or references can be made. Finally, Thel Vadam[ee] was given his rank of Arbiter during the events of Halo 2, and his name is not revealed until Halo: the Cole Protocol. The statement of him being the Commander of UH is hopefully an act of incompitence, rather than vandalism, pure speculation, or fan fiction.[[User talk:Warhead xTEAMx|Warhead xTEAMx]] 10:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


==Trivia numbers==
In the Trivia section it states that there are two dozen spartans and Master Chief in the Fall of Reach, thus there should be 21 in the Pelican with Fred. Shouldn't it be 22? If its 2 dozen, assuming they aren't bakers lol, thats 12 + 12 = 24 then one more for the MC = 25. Take away MC and 2 others and we have 22 spartans right? Unless the article is meant to say two dozen spartans INCLUDING MC, in which case adding the 3 who couldn't be recalled there are 27 overall at that point alive and kicking.

* I removed the last piece of trivia due to it being correct cause the debriefing was after the battle of onyx as stated on Fredric's page as pasted bellow
Shield world and recovery
Having passed through the slipspace rift, Fred and the rest of the human survivors found themselves inside a massive Dyson sphere contained within a slipspace bubble of compressed space-time in the heart of what used to be Onyx.[19] After the survivors had explored the sphere for several days—over three months in normal space-time—they discovered a group of Huragok which helped them establish contact with the ONI ships outside the sphere and eventually bring the sphere back into normal space.[20] They were then recovered by the ONI team Kilo-Five and taken to a debriefing in HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 aboard the UNSC Port Stanley.[21] Fred, along with the rest of the surviving SPARTAN-IIs, were present in the Voi Memorial ceremony on March 3, 2553.[22]

 * I have not read Glasslands yet to prove my point but i've ordered it and should get it in the next week.

:Why are you removing correct information?--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
::The debriefing in the Adjunct section of ''First Strike'' took place before the Battle of Earth, hence making it before the Battle of Onyx. The debriefing you are referring to is a debriefing on the events surrounding the Battle of Onyx.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}

I wasn't sure if it was true or not cause i was quit puzzled after reading that part in first strike, also i haven't read glasslands yet to have proven my point but its all good, sorry for deleting the trivia piece

==Original Cover and two Marines and John-117==
[[File:First Strike.jpg|150px]] 
*Now to tell you guy's what I might tell you we know John-117 and Corporal Locklear are on it, we do know that Staff Sergeant Johnson and also Warrant Officer Polaski where the survivors but wait a minuite just hang on why is they're another  Caucasian marine in BDU armor, so wait just a momnet, we know one next to Chief but crouched was Locklear, but what's the others name well if this is non-canon that could be Private First Class Chips Dubbo but we know he never is mentioned so if this cover was non-canon right it could be Chips Dubbo and I think we might have to ask the writer of the book Eric Nylund to retcon the story say how Stacker and Dubbo survived so that way we have a proper closure so I think the one on the left could be (non-canon) Chips Dubbo. but don't take things too seriously with Halo Canon yeah.
