[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Harflin My question is: Is this canon to the books? Because it looks to me like the sniper in the cinematic is a boy, where in the books it's a girl.[/quote] It is canon to the books, but doesn't have any characters from the books, it is instead telling the story of a different spartan team on reach, giving them more versitility on the story as apposed to making a game about the book.
