The quality of grammer is terrible.

I'll try to rewrite the page. Not finished yet.

[edit] Revision as of 19 Jan 2006

  • I've reworked this article in hope of increasing grammar and the book's description. I've removed one speculative sentence (the one dealing with Dr. Halsey's whereabouts and reasons for kidnapping Kelly-87) as well as some details I believe are mostly secondary. I added mention to the Forerunners artifact found on Reach since I fell it is instrumental for some of the plot elements in the novel. Berserker79 14:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Not to be a stickler, but I was recently informed of a gaping plot hole within the book, but I'm not positive it's actually true. If you've read the book, re-read the part where MC is forced to go UAV because Keyes doesn't want to use Nukes. He's afraid that the Nukes will blow out the superconducting in the Mac guns. I've been told that technically Nukes wouldn't do that, anyone know for sure?--65.185.14.88 15:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I think you're getting confused: the scene you refer to is depicted in the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, not in First Strike. As far as I recall, MC is worried the Electromagnetic pulse resulting from the nukes' explosion will screw the superconducting coils of the MACs. I don't know how a MAC might work, but I'm pretty sure EMP would wreck havoc upon its delicate electronics: explosions from real life nukes generate an EMP wave that can fry electronics, so I think it's pretty much the same in Halo. Hope this helps. Berserker79 09:08, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing

Would it be reasonble to mention (in the article) the book's apparent lack of editing? - The fact that there were many obvious spelling errors and grammar issues in the book itself?

If you can source it, then there's no problem. Peptuck 19:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
