Most of you have probably noticed that games these days come with 2 page non color manuals. All I’m saying is that Anniversary better include an update version of the Halo CE’s full-length color manual, not this two page crap.
Gonna have to agree with this. An interesting opportunity to retcon some canon errors in the old manual too.
It will come with a little note that says they are trying to go green and you can read it online.
I can see the steam already.
Yeah, original manual for sure! I never saw the original manual cause my cousin owned Halo CE before me, and the manual was gone when he gave it to me.
Well I’ve been wondering about the CEA manual itself, I mean the original manual became outdated when new canon came about. I’m wondering if it’ll have anything like Halo 2’s, Halo ODST, Wars or even reach’s Manual and have a canon transmission in it.

For the most part, I hope they have a uniquely similar model of the old CE Manual with 343 additions & updated summaries to each description. Perhaps stuff about firefight on it would be nice 
Dose anybody read the game manual’s?
I look at them. But I don’t read every page of it.
I wonder if mouse is putting one together.

I read them before I first play a game…
It’s sort of a ritual for me.
Would be nice! I feel so cheated when I open a game these days and find a cheap little 2 page “manual”… err, insert.
