Neo has officially been promoted to barf cleaner-upper and pukee hair holder.
I am honored to have that position. While your barfing I can steal your wallets!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.

In the trailer they report "multiple pings below the orbital defense grid" as the Covenant came out of Slipspace. During the battle of Reach the Covenant came out just out of the gravity well of Reach, well above the human defenses. They were able to use their super MAC cannons on the Covenant well before they reached the planet and wiped out 200 Covenant ships.

The trailer has the Covenant evading these systems all together. Anyone want to elaborate on the discrepancy.

Well:

1. The covenant didn't avoid the MAC guns they suffered some losses but most ships made it through the defense

2. Where in the trailer does it say they went underneath?

No need to swear. The OP is just making a point in hope of discussion. Don't blam him just because you're obviously so much more intelligent.

Oh right!
So that means the game isn't on Reach and isn't a prequel!
Since nothing this early can be trusted, right?
I think Epic are making Reach, since we can't trust that Bungie is making it. [/sarcasm]

Yeah, I noticed that at the start, but thought it must mean something else or it was a mistake.
The whole thing about them being surprised half the planet was being glassed was also wierd, since they noticed the Covenant ships well before they got close enough to glass.

Ah well, lets just wait and see.
We know it's a prequel and on Reach, though.
Hell, maybe it isn't even on Reach, since we didn't see any orbital platforms.
That's unlikely, though, since the description says it is a prequel on Reach.
