I read all of them. There are some inconsistencies with Halo: The Flood and the first game. The Shotgun is an 8 gauge in the game, and a 12 gauge in the novel. In the game, the sniper rifle has 4 rounds in every magazine, the book there are 10.

There's also a mistake in The Fall of Reach. In the chapter where it first mentions Corporal Harland it says that the Warthog has a 50 millimeter chain gun, when it is really a .50 cal. 50 mm would be a lot bigger (a.50 cal is half an inch wide or 12.7 mm wide), about half the size of the rockets for the M19. It would also be bigger than the sniper rifle ammo.

Well said, and when do the books say that the sniper has ten rounds to the mag? They've always said four.

No, Wannabe is right. Anyway I have read them all except Contact Harvest and Cole Protocol.

Those two are both good. Contact Harvest was definately better than The Cole Protocol, though.
