| | On the back of Ghosts of Onyx it has the XBOX 360 icon. Does this mean Halo 3 could have something to do with Ghosts of Onyx? |

| I'm sure it plays an important part for Halo 3. I dont yet have the book myself, but from what i can tell the Elites dont seem to friendly yet. they'd need a reason to join the humans. if their main forces are wiped out, then they HAVE to join the humans to win. it gives the Elites a reason to rely on the humans in Halo 3. by the way, does anyone know what happened to the frigates and corvette that were mentioned following In Amber Clad? | | I'm sure it plays an important part for Halo 3.

| == Halo 2? ==
| |
| For some reason, I was under the impression that this book was an adaption of [[Halo 2]]. I suppose I was wrong. I wonder when we'll get a book about Halo 2. Zeldafanjtl 00:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

| == error in the errors... ==
| |
|
| |
| I read the errors and found one talking about the spartan on the cover in Mark V armor and assuming it to be Kurt because all the other Spartans have Mark VI armor but Kelly is there and she still has Mark V armor because she never went to earth to get the new armor and was kidnapped straight to Onyx from the rebel base so the cover is accurate in that sense...
| |
|
| |
| == Armour ==
| |
|
| |
| You are retarded the ones on the cover are Fred, Kelly, and Kurt, all Spartan Two's. If you have the book look just in front of Kurt's helmet and try to figure out what the hell that shit is, and did you guys even read the whole book before posting, it tells you every thing you need to know.
| |
|
| |
| no the ones on the cover have SPI armor mark 5 and 6 armor and Kurt has mark 5 armor while in the SPI armor must be a spartan 3 because only spartan 3's have SPI armor.and in the mark 6 armor in the backround must be one of the spartan 2's like kelly or fred or linda.
| |
|
| |
| :Or it's Kelly in the Mark V armor because she never went to Earth, and Fred is in the Mark VI armor and the it's Kurt in the SPI armour because he chose to wear the SPI armour due to the fact he felt he wasn't a Spartan-II anymore, and either the Spartan-IIIs are cloaked or just not pictured. And sign your posts! --Chris-the-killer 12:56, 6 January 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| * Kelly never received, fucking, Mark VI armor. She got kidnapped, in Halo: First Strike. The Spartan-II with Mark VI is probably Fred, but may be Will. Linda had a sniper rifle. I would guess that the one in SPI is Kurt because he is the main character that wears SPI armor. He decided not to wear his Mark V armor into the fight with Sentinels.
| |
|
| |
| * I beileive it is Kelly in the Mark V armor, Kurt in the SPI and the Master chief in the Mark VI since he was mentioned in the book a few times and featured in the second chapter, and plus it doesn't say anything about the other spartans-II's having Mark VI armor or ever obtaining it. i'm still reading first strike to confirm it but all ive heard so far is that they only recieved upgrades to there Mark V armor [[User talk:SPARTAN-225|SPARTAN-225]] 13:24, 26th May 2011 (EDT)

| == Sequel ==
| |
|
| |
| Is there going to be a sequel to this book (Ghosts of Onyx), that ties up the end of it and the end of Halo 3 (the bit after the end credits)? If not there definitely should be because Master Chief's stuck out in space and Blue team are stranded in some planet. I feel it most definitely calls for a sequel.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| I hope so and i hope Eric Nylund writes it. Hes a genius :-O. I also hope they continue books on the main Master Chief series. First Strike is awesome :D. I think they should continue with a novelisation of Halo 2, a novel inbetween Halo 2 and 3 and then a novelisation of Halo 3. If they did a novel after the Halo 3 novelisation then that would be 7 novels in the series! They have too! I want to suggest it too Bungie but i don't have an Xbox live account :(. If somebody else could that'd be totally awesome! I would like to hear Bungies responce. Comment made by Chris 20:57, 26/3/10.

| |
| During the chapter segment fallowing the Unggoy Kwasas, he was playing a game with some fellow grunts. It is stated that he "Lost a few cartridges of formaldehyde, and won a file of old BBC, and then wished them well and moved along on his morning patrol. Today it would be best to keep up appearances."- ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', page 237, paragraph 3 or 4 (depending on how you count the paragraphs).
| |
|
| |
| I believe that a show called ''Keeping up Appearances'' was shown on the BBC. Could this paragraph be a reference to that show, as it mentions BBC and uses the words "Keep up Appearances"? {{Unsigned|Echo 1}}
