oh but... halo 2, halo 3, halo reach, ODST, Halo 4...

They all... every one of them... take aspects from the books. Strongly so in some cases.

the books gave the people at bungie and later 343 a creative nucleas to better explore the world, to better inform the characters their motives and everything.

The influence of the books, although the games dont require them for reading, is very clear and tehy definitely made the games better through their existence.

And its kinda brilliant how little the games require the books to be read...
