| [[Image:Contact Harvest by Nameless Designer.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Fan's depiction of [[Harvest]] being invaded by the [[Rapid Conversion]].]]
| |
| *Contact Harvest was the first [[Halo]] series book made by Joseph Staten.
| |
|
| |
|
| *Joseph Staten voiced some of the grunts in Halo 2 as seen in the end-credits.
| |
|
| |
| *In [[2524]], the [[BR-55]] was a prototype [[ONI]] weapon. Before the book was released many people were confused as to why a [[Battle Rifle]] was being wielded by [[Avery Johnson]]. Joseph Staten in Bungie Podcast III hinted as to why the BR-55 was in Contact Harvest, and it was confirmed that it was a prototype weapon in 2525.
| |
|
| |
| *In an excerpt found in OXM, it is revealed that the [[Hornet]] appears in Contact Harvest in the sense that they have been in service since [[2524]].
| |
|
| |
| *''[[Lighter Than Some]]'', the [[Engineer]] featured in the story was the creator of the [[Brute Chopper]] which was originally intended as a peace offering and modeled after [[Human]] farming plows.
| |
|
| |
| *The Unggoy Dadab could refer to Tim Dadabo, the voice actor of [[343 Guilty Spark]].
| |
|
| |
| *One of the [[Unggoy]] of ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'' makes reference to a cousin, [[Yayap]], who is a soldier under the [[Elites]]. This is most likely the same Yayap featured in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' that is [[Zuka 'Zamamee|Zuka 'Zamamee's]] assistant.
| |
|
| |
| *The [[Brutes]] were described wearing some type of energy shielded [[Power Armor (Jiralhanae)|Power Armor]], similar to what they wore in [[Halo 3]].
| |
|
| |
| *[[Catherine Halsey]] makes a very brief "appearance" in the post-epilogue conversation between Mack and Sif under the pseudonym "Charlie Hotel".
| |
|
| |
| *On page 189, [[Dadab]] describes how the [[Prophets]] knew how [[Mendicant Bias]] betrayed the [[Forerunners]] for the [[Flood]].
| |
|
| |
| *The [[Oracle]] in the [[Dreadnought]] is most likely [[Mendicant Bias]], as on page 276, the Oracle says "I will reject my bias and will make amends."
| |
|
| |
| *Apparently, the [[Jiralhanae]] have been in the Covenant since before Halo: Combat Evolved, but are not featured due to the fact that the Sangheili don't trust them.
| |
|
| |
| *The [[The Seropian|Seropian Center for Active Retirement]] is possibly named for [[Bungie]] Co-Founder Alexander Seropian.
| |
|
| |
| *This is currently the only Halo book not to feature [[SPARTAN-IIs]].
| |
|
| |
| *With the addition of the [[Yanme'e]] into the story, it shows they were already incorporated into the [[Covenant]] before the events of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]].
| |
|
| |
| *''Halo: Contact Harvest'', is the first book or piece of information to mention a female [[Kig-yar]].
