Based on information from the SDCC 2011 Panel, it appears that some of the rehabilitated washouts from the Class I SPARTAN-II's (as well as Dr. Halsey) are being included in Glasslands.

There appears to be a possible easter egg regarding Halo Waypoint. Traviss mentions several times a news agency called "Waypoint." I, at least, think it's an easter egg, but would like other opinions. [[User talk:AarrowOM|AarrowOM]] 14:02, 26 October 2011 (EDT) | There appears to be a possible easter egg regarding Halo Waypoint.

I first thought that too, when one of the quotes mentions "Waypoint Nine News".

:That's indeed ann Easter Egg. But Halsey's Journal also contained several news bulletins that were from 'Waypoint'. Definately an homage. There's already a page on it though.--[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 02:52, 2 December 2011 (EST) | :That's indeed ann Easter Egg.

Considering the scope of the novels, comics, etc. over video games, there should be any particular reason why we have a limited section devoted to in-universe assets (characters, locations, vehicles, etc.) for novels. Nothing in the Manual of Style, etc. suggested that this was a policy worth noting. It would be quite wise to continue to have such content on here, and for assets in other expanded universe material. I'm putting this content back on tomorrow morning (good ol' Pacific time) if nobody has anything to rebuttal concerning my recommendation. Cheers! | Considering the scope of the novels, comics, etc. over video games, there should be any particular reason why we have a limited section devoted to in-universe assets (characters, locations, vehicles, etc.) for novels.

:Standards for novel articles is to present Characters section only; this is evident in all novel articles (from FoR to Cryptum) and such practice hasn't changed till this novel was released. Also, it is not recorded in the MoS because the MoS is severely outdated.

What I wanted to happen: Blue Team meets Forerunners, Blue Team discovers Forerunner Warships and uses them to do...anything, that all the Shield Worlds would be linked and that John would go to the Legendary planet and go to the Shield world and see Blue Team, and that Jorge would come out of SlipStream space '''inside''' the sphere and then they would all be frolicking in the grass forever (not really that last part). | What I wanted to happen: Blue Team meets Forerunners, Blue Team discovers Forerunner Warships and uses them to do...anything, that all the Shield Worlds would be linked and that John would go to the Legendary planet and go to the Shield world and see Blue Team, and that Jorge would come out of SlipStream space '''inside''' the sphere and then they would all be frolicking in the grass forever (not really that last part). | ||

I generally didnt enjoy the book. i thought that she left too many unanswered questions, didnt use enough facts from the previous books, and didnt write in the format that was a HALO book. She gave the AI black box a great personality, but he bacame way too human. Or the Spartans, they were to civilian. The fact that she gave them personalities that completly counteracted the stoic quiteness that we are used too, and have come too expect. i thought the book deserves a 2/5. Nothing more, nothing less. very few technology, almost no fights, gave the Sangheili human traits, and butchered what shouldve been a big read.-'''HTRK74JR''' | I generally didnt enjoy the book. i thought that she left too many unanswered questions, didnt use enough facts from the previous books, and didnt write in the format that was a HALO book.
