I don't know if 343i truly is playing some long-term game of their own with Halsey's arc, and while it does seem so from Frankie's comments, Traviss certainly wasn't having any of it. She took every opportunity she had to express how she feels about Halsey and her program and she did it with a passion. And that's ultimately what made these novels not work for me. Omitting the Halsey stuff altogether would've certainly made them better, but even then I don't think I could've been able to ignore the lack of scale and the silly technology. In conclusion, I think the time, money and effort that went into this trilogy could've produced something so much more at the hand of a different author. The best thing 343i can do right now is to have their damage control prepped and ready to move in and salvage whatever they can. I can only hope they can do a better job in the future. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 13:32, 26 January 2014 (EST) | I don't know if 343i truly is playing some long-term game of their own with Halsey's arc, and while it does seem so from Frankie's comments, Traviss certainly wasn't having any of it.

Just thought a comment section would be appropriate. As for Karen Traviss and her hatred of Halsey, I think one needs to consider the root of her hatred: what exactly did 343i told her about Halsey before she started writing the Trilogy or, to be more exact, did they even care to provide precedent materials on Halsey to Traviss (as to ensuring consistency, notwithstanding her views on Halsey's actions and involvement with the SII Program)? — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 13:59, 26 January 2014 (EST) | |||
