My Two Cents:
Also Games are higher cannon than Novels
Error: Reach was invaded on July 24th.
[Not an Invasion force, merely a Recon/Sabotage (1 A. Carrier and less than 10 Corvettes) and possibly mining mission by the covenant to recover the artifact under Sword Base, Regret did the same thing and reached Earth with merely 15 ships (2 A. Carriers 13 CCS) since he didn´t know it was Human Homeworld; as far as we know the Covenant knew Reach had an Artifact, but they probably did not know it was a Human Fortress hence a Recon team was sent]
Error: Alpha Company was wiped out completely during Operation: PROMETHEUS in 2537. Carter, Emile, and Jun should not be alive.
[The Best candidates of Alpha Company where (or at least implied) pulled out before Operation: PROMETHEUS; pretty much in the same manner B312, B320, B170 (implied) where taken out of Beta before TORPEDO, Note Headhunters got pulled out of their companies too]
Error: Carter, Emile, and Jun's age.
Carter is born in 2520. He was 11 years old when Alpha Company began their training. This puts him 5 years above the previously stated age, and it makes no sense at all. Why would they have an 11 year old on the same training regime as a 4 year old? It's too large of a difference, and it's an error that can be avoiding by simply changing his birthdate. This same thing goes for Emile and Jun, who are older than 6 years old at Alpha training.
[I don´t see the error here, they could have made an exception since this 3 Spartans got the genes to become S-IIs, in order to correctly augment em they had to train em at this age, not older, they just didn´t wanted to waste anymore time, which would also explain why Kurt himself said Noble was made out of possible candidates for S-II program and by this I mean that they got the genetic match and properties of S-IIs]
Error: Lack of Orbital MAC's.
[In game dialogue; Kat do says they got at least 4 ODPs that could easily destroy the Corvette over Sword; Carter tells her that they don´t out of fear they could damage Sword Base (or something like that) and as a matter of fact an Orbital Station do destroy the Corvette over Sword in the end of the mission; the fact that they did not used the ODPs against the Corvettes in atmosphere and the A. Carrier in orbit was perhaps due to the classified nature of the Covenant being on Reach or because ONI wanted to gather more info about the Covenant there, which would explain why they didn´t followed the Cole Protocol]
Error: Pillar of Autumn on Reach.
[Was getting ready in Atmosphere while waiting for Noble to deliver the missing Cortana shard, then went to orbit to link with main Fleet, deployed Red Team to destroy the nav data from the Circumference, etc.]
*As for Halsey not knowing about S-IIIs existance before Onyx (which I had read being said a lot), well in her journal it´s implied she believes that the Spartans from Noble team are actually S-IIs just not "hers"
maybe we should just ask the Covenant for some of the details of the invasion :D
