Posted by: privet cabooseIts a confusing situation. Apparently the crystal dilated time for the PoA and everything around Halo, as well as some portions of Reach. Whitcomb says that Gamma Team was performing guerilla hit and run missions against the Covenant for 3 weeks, but it was really September 7 when they said this.
So it appears that Gamma was on the same dilated time as the Chief. This is likely the case for the Spartans of Alpha/Delta within the Forerunner structure, as they kept losing track of time and everything down there felt so surreal.
If the game ends before September 5-7 (whenever Halo 1 began in "real time," the time dilated combat probably all occured on September 6-7 since the multiple week-long travel would have taken up more of the real week. So if it ends before the 7th (date from First Strike) it would still be a prequal.
