Missing Halsey Journal Pages
File this one under: Transmedia experiment.
(Mr. Long, please note!)
Years ago when we were putting together Dr. Halsey’s journal for the LIMITED and LEGENDARY editions of HALO: REACH, I had the idea that Halsey would have done something that went too far (even for her). The pages detailing what she did were ripped out (supposed by Halsey), and the HALO fans that bought the special editions received the journals — with these pages missing by design.
I remember our Art team had to source a company that would be able not only to print the journal to exacting specifications … but then RIP OUT BY HAND those pages (also to exacting parameters!).
At the time, we let slip thought the cracks a few unripped journals into the mix, knowing the fans would find and share the information. I forget the number, but there couldn’t have been more than five.
I thought it would take a few weeks at most for these unripped journals to surface….
OK. So, I was off by a few orders of magnitude.
Looks like as of yesterday the pages were finally posted.
Enjoy!
