Great Information!😸

This book was good for Halo fans and beginners. Still, you may have to Google some things for it to make sense. For the most part, it gave a lot of information, but at some parts of seemed like a super bias rant written by some 20 year old who had nothing better to do on a Friday night. Note that it is slightly out of date, only up to Halo 3 in some parts. I think that the authors should have communicated better, because while some of them are talking about how good Halo 3 is, while others were written by somebody who's only ever played Combat Evolved.
