Halo 2 Developer Talks Story

Posted by Zonk on Thursday October 28, 2004 @02:45AM from the halo2-is-news-apparently dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With any luck, Halo 2 will supplement hours of fragging and warthogging with some more good sci-fi story. In an interview with Bungie's studio manager Pete Parsons talks about the larger Halo world, the influence of fan fiction and Halo novels on Halo 2, and the widespread appeal of the game." Thanks also to GameConnect for the link to their article talking about Microsoft's heavy hand when it comes to pre-orders.

Oh but they do have a backstory. And quite an engrossing one at that.

Halo is already pretty close to that "happy medium"- there are a series of tie-in novels, developed with Bungie's close supervision, that provide a backstory for the game.
