Perhaps ‘revamped’ is too strong a word. I honestly loved Noble Team, and see them as central to the Reach storyline, but… Bungie, come on. You had such an opportunity to explore the SPARTAN-IIs there, and not just Blue Team, but all the other SPARTAN-IIs that played a role during the Fall of Reach. Plus, there are several inconsistencies between 343’s books and the game itself, such as the age-old ‘Halsey not knowing about the SPARTAN-IIIs’ thing. Not that a ‘re-imagined’ Reach would necessarily have to erase the pre-existing canon established by Bungie, just tell the same story from another perspective whilst tweaking little details to make the game gel seamlessly with the developing Halo universe.
What do you think; yea or nay?
