Semper Fi, means loyal to the core, the marine core. So we can assume that the UNSC would want loyal marines. Am I right? I could be wrong...--'''[[w:c:halofanon:User:H*bad|H*bad]] <sup>([[w:c:halofanon:User talk:H*bad|talk]])'''</sup> 22:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I've never read The Flood, but I read The Fall of Reach a long time ago. I recently read Cryptum, Primordium, The Cole Protocol and I'm about 1/3 of the way through Ghosts of Onyx on my iPad(I read Cryptum and TCP on my iPad as well). I just bought the 2011 "definitive edition" of The Fall of Reach on Walmart.com because they only had the 2010 reissue on iBooks and I wanted the newer version. I am thinking of buying The Flood reissue on ibooks(if it is the reissue version they have on there) but I want to know if it is any good? I've read the reception of it saying that Dietz's charactization of Master Chief is subpar and all. So is the book worth $7.99, especially the reissue?

:I'm definitely planning on buying myself a physical copy of the newer, revised editions, simply because they have been, as I just said, revised, plus they also have new information included as well at the very end of the books. Does that answer your question? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 09:32, 16 May 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Well sort of. I was just wondering if compared to The Fall of Reach, Ghosts of Onyx & First Strike( which were all written by Eric Nylund) how this book is. Something else I forgot to ask though: Does the book expand at all on Halo: CE's story or is it just a word for word novelization of the game?

:Parts of it are word-for-word, but it does definitely expand on the game. There's whole new subplots about a group of ODSTs and the Covenant and there's a fair amount of things that happen between the levels and in different parts of the ring. The Chief's characterization is slightly different from Nylund's; whether this is a good thing or not is a matter of taste. If you want to know all there is to know, then sure, it's worth getting. You just have to take it for what it is - as a novelization of the game, there are parts which directly rehash it. The main plot is also very predictable because of it, though you might just care enough about the supporting characters to make it worth a read. --[[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> 11:21, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

:To my knowledge, he's NOT in it? We only have one article for a McKenzie Marine, who was in Halo 2 and wasn't on Halo. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 07:35, 26 August 2015 (EDT)
