Dang, I really thought this pointless thread was going to die.
What you choose to do with your own time is your business, but reading all the published material does not make you God. If there are any Gods in the Halo Universe they now live in 343 studios. All those "tons of time and effort" mean nothing because it's not your job to create the Universe.
Yes, there are, have been, and always will be inconsistencies, and only 343 will live or die by how well they deal with them. I'm sure your opinions have been noted by the True Gods. Their Will be Done.
(Cue Halo Monk chant)
Out of curiosity do you really think that because you can be condescending that makes you right, or even intelligent. Any moron can talk down to another person, especially when they don't know what they are talking about. they just probably don't know they look like a fool.
I hate to break it to you but there are people that have done a lot more than read the books. They've studied, made time lines, made star charts, etc... Just because you, or I, don't have the inclination to do those things that doesn't make them stupid. Every person has a right to enjoy things in their own way.
If this thread is such a waste to you then why on Earth do you keep coming back. If a thread is stupid then the best thing you could do is ignore it.
Long story short. Quit acting like an ass hat and if you don't like that other people disagree fine, don't promote them and stay out of a well thought out thread.
Wow.
Well, if I came off as condescending, I apologize as that was not my intent. What I was really getting at was that the people that own the franchise make the rules. That has been stated by many others in this thread.
To those of you that peruse the media for obscure details that give you a better understanding of the Halo Universe than the average casual observer, my hat is off to you. Your knowledge of what has been released by Bungie and other contractors is clearly greater than mine, and I do not doubt your wisdom in that regard.
My problem with some posters is that they insist that some of the things that "happened" in Reach just simply could not happen because they "conflict" with what has previously been revealed. There are and will be many posts that suggest plausible explanations, some better than others. In fact, it's beginning to look (to me)like AI's might be behind some of these "inconsistencies."
You see, Bungie has created this Universe with a kabillion unanswered questions: Forunners, Precoursers, Flood, ONI, etc. We still don't know who did what and when they did it, or who knew what and when they knew it. This leads to all this wonderful speculation by fans that may or may not chart the course of the Universe. Also, because this is science fiction writers can just make stuff up. For example, there are no "experts" on slipspace. In the Halo Universe what we know about slipspace is what Bungie, and now 343, says is true. Therefore, if a Covenant supercarrier can exit slipspace undetected, it must be true. Ask Sherlock Holmes. All 343 has to do is commission a book or something where the Covenant develops the technology to exit slipspace undetected and then come up with an explanation as to why nobody knew that before. All this stuff is made up anyway. What is true is what they say is true, and at this point in the game (no pun intended) what is true is whatever promotes sales. George Lucas is not getting all wrapped around the axle about how Anarkin Skywalker gets to have a student Jedi before he himself becomes a Master. I'm sure they've made up a reason by now.
I never said this thread was a waste. I just thought it would die because 343 will fix whatever they feel needs fixing and it doesn't appear (to me) that there's much fixing that needs to be done. No one needs my permission to continue to speculate. I just don't like it when some people crap all over the speculations of others because "they read all the books." The story of the Halo Universe is not finished and NO ONE knows EVERYTHING.
The fact that you have to resort to name calling and actually believing that you can tell me what to do just gives me more reason to disregard anything you have to say.
Crap. I gotta go back to work now...
