I've taken some flak for stating that the advertising information released with Reach currently has more authority over things stated by characters or in narration in other books. What do you think about it? How would you rank new marketing material for a new game, would you say that until a new book or game comes along and contradicts it that the marketing material would be part of the golden standard? That's my take on it anyway, because if all marketing materials are subject to the books and games no matter what then why would Bungie put any effort to explain some things in them like they did with Reach?
Also, I think you should create a section for Reach in your list, the Ninja who posted a section on Reach raises a couple good points, but I think his points 2, 3, and 4 should be altered or struck out because they're not entirely accurate. I would suggest altering 4 and 3 because they can have plausible reasons of explanation worked out based on previous sources. I think having that link to Caboose's thread on the issues brought about by Reach is a good idea, but it should not be treated as if everything listed in there is a contradiction with previous materials, some of the issues Caboose and others in there listed actually have been addressed and resolved by Bungie in both the marketing materials for Reach and Halsey's Journal.
This is a very good thread you have here, I think we can do a lot with this by trying to hammer seeming conflicts and the like out and coming up with some more definitive picture of what we actually know.
I have a list of people who can help oversee all of this if you think you need the aid while you catch up on current releases to Halo's story or something. If you want help with all this I'd suggest approaching, Grey101, Anton1792, Cmdr DaeFaron, Decepticon Cobra, and I'd be willing to lend a hand in whatever way I can too. There're probably a lot more people who'd be good help and willing to lend a hand too if they were approached, but those four are the main ones I'd suggest.
