"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."
++the info on Reach states that the Spartan III's in Noble Team were separated from the main group relatively early in training, so they never would have gone on that mission in the first place.
-------------------
"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. "
++UNSC personnel's ages have always been tricky to calculate because of the effects of special relativity and cryo sleep. the error could be attributed to how the ages were calculated.
-------------------
"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."
++seriously? this isn't even an error, you're just complaining about a lack of an explanation.
---------------------
"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? "
++you're really grasping at straws here. those Covenant ships were probably in too high an orbit, and out of range. The Fall of Reach states that the most ships stayed out of range of the MAC guns during the battle. and at that range, you might not be able to see them with the naked eye.
-----------------------
"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."
++did you ever consider that maybe the Pillar just landed for a couple hours? it probably landed well after Red Team jumped, and it doesn't preclude the NAV data mission at all.
"Why schedule a mission to capture a prophet, when there's a full scale invasion of Humanities second most important planet? "
++because the mission was scheduled well before anyone found out about the invasion. unless you somehow totally forgot that.
----------------
look, you're arguments are poor. almost all those "errors" are completely explainable, and anything else just isn't a big deal. get over it.
