Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.
It's sad that so many of these could have been fixed with simple, subtle corrections.
Error: Reach was invaded on July 24th.
Proof: All Halo media has always stated Reach fell in one day, and that day was August 30th.
Sources:Ghosts of Oynx, First Strike, Fall of Reach.
Why didn't Bungie just put Winter Contingency on the morning of August 29th? This game could have easily had the time span of 36 hours, and given time zone changes on the planet, the super carriers arrival in Tip of the Spear could coincide to TFoR.
Error: Alpha Company was wiped out completely during Operation: PROMETHEUS in 2537. Carter, Emile, and Jun should not be alive.
Proof: Halo: Ghosts of Onyx goes into quite a bit of detail on Operation: PROMETHEUS. Spartan-III Alpha Company (comprised of 300 Spartans) were sent to K7-49 on a mission to destroy plasma reactors the Covenant were using to liquefy metallurgical components.
The operation was a success, but it is explicitly stated that it cost the lives of every Spartan-III on the asteroid because they got cut off from their Calypso-class Exfiltration crafts and completely lost their unit cohesion.
Halo Reach chooses to ignore this. Carter (A-259), Emile (A-239), and Jun (A-266) are a part of Noble Team when they should have been dead years ago; Bungie have given us no explanation on how they escaped at all.
Sources:
- Ghosts of Onyx, page 83-87.
- Halo ReachAgain, simply changing Carter, Emile and Jun's tags to not be in Alpha company would've prevented this problem.
Error: ONI's actions as well as the Cole Protocol.
According to the Cole Protocol, if any Covenant Forces are detected, then all NAV bases and ships should purge their computers of information to protect Earth and the inner colonies.
Proof:If Covenant are detected on Reach on July 23rd, how is it that a month later, there are still computers with information to Earth still active? If ONI hadn't taken more than a month, than Blue team wouldn't have been deployed to the Circumference, and James wouldn't have died, and Linda wouldn't have been in a coma. Infact, they would have been on Reach with Red team.
Sources:
Pg 289 of The Fall of Reach gives information on the purging of Info not complete.
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/United_Nations_Space_Command_Emerg ency_Priority_Order_098831A-1Date change would have prevented this error.
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.
Proof: Page 69(I'm doing this by memory, I may be wrong.) of Ghosts of Oynx states that all of Alpha Company was comprised of 4, 5, and 6 year old children that he was going to have to forge into the best warriors humanity has ever seen.
Source: Ghosts of Oynx, page 69.Simply changing their birth dates would have prevented this.
Error: Lack of Orbital MAC's.
Proof: Reach had a number of Orbital MAC's that were used in the battle of Reach. They were present on August 30th, so they should have been present during the mission "Long Night of Solace" in Halo: Reach. Had they been present, they Jorge wouldn't have died. Where were they?
Source: Fall of Reach, First Strike, Halo: ReachIt has been estimated that the Super Carrier is roughly 27km long. Bungie could have (No, should have) shown the Super Carrier dominating several MACs as well as other ships, thus giving Noble Team the idea to planet the "bomb" on the ship, saving countless lives.
Error: Pillar of Autumn on Reach.
Proof During the final level of Halo: Reach, the Pillar of Autumn is on the planet, and isn't in space, preparing for the Prophet mission. This COMPLETELY destroys much of Halo's canon. If the ship wasn't in space, than the Spartans of Red Team would have never jumped to the planet, meaning that the 4 spartans who died, would have still been alive. Which could have hanged the outcome of the battle. PLUS, the space op to destroy the Circumference's NAV data wouldn't have happened. So Chief, James, and Linda had no reason to NOT be part of Red team. So the chief wouldn't have been on the Autumn, so Halo: CE wouldn't have happened.
Why schedule a mission to capture a prophet, when there's a full scale invasion of Humanities second most important planet?
Sources: Halo: Reach, Fall of ReachAlright this one is a pretty big failure, maybe they could've put the ship in low-orbit? This is the only one that could not have been easily fixed.
