Bungie doesnt usually go by the books.Um, what are you talking about? Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 were never a book to begin with, number 1. Halo ODST takes place between Halo 2 and 3. It doesn't have a book either. But regardless, the story is always based of the books.
The books take place before Halo CE. This game is based of the book, The Fall of Reach. Bungie always goes by the books, regardless. For example, at the beginning of Halo CE, the Pillar of Autumn is escaping Reach in a slipspace jump and the Covenant track the ship to where they went,which happened to be near a Halo ring. that is what happened after The Fall of Reach.
The story from Halo CE to the end of Halo 3 doesn't even take up a year, nothing big changed in UNSC or Covenant technology in that time frame. Everything that was in Halo 3 was around during Halo CE just not added to the canon at the time of Halo CE's release. Stop acting like your a Halo expert because you're wrong. There can be new things added to Reach and things exclusive to Halo 3 without screwing up the canon.I certainly didn't and don't claim to be an expert. However, where in the Fall of Reach, or anything involving Reach, do brutes come in? The Brutes weren't even technically part of the Covenant until the End of Halo 2, dude. It is called common sense. I'm sure everything Covie and UNSC related was around during Halo CE. that is obvious, actually. The fact that some weapons are not available in the first game is pretty simple. For UNSC weapons, the Pillar of Autumn had just undergone a partially completed refit and resupply, and the main armory was hit while trying to land on Halo. For Covey weapons, the ships at Halo were there for survey and exploration, not combat. So only basic weapons, and dropships for that matter, were available. But if that were the case, why didn't Brutes chase them down in the beginning? When did Brutes ever have anything to do with Reach?
