I still don't understand how we are suppose to belive that only small sections of reach were under attack while the holosphere of reach on the corrvette shows dozens of attack sites planet wide.
Everything started going to Hell in a handbasket once the Long Night of Solace decloaked at the end of Tip of the Spear, that's when things started going global. Before that they were just under attack in the Viery Territory
That makes it worse then, becuase if reach was under attack by that many ships with no defenses it shouldn't have lasted weeks.
Corvettes don't pack a lot of punch.
Even afterwards, when the other ships started to arrive, it would take awhile to get rid of the various cities and UNSC Ground Bunkers.
Besides, Earth held out for several months.
At the end of long night of solace is were the full fleet comes in, and that is why i am saying it shouldn't have took weeks going by the game for reach to fall.
In the book reach had about 100 ships along side Smacs, even then the battle lasted under 2 hours with skirmishes that lasted weeks on the ground.
In the game reach had no ships, no Smacs, yet survived a full attack for weeks??? that makes no sense at all.
Earth had several fleets and a grid of Smacs. Earth was under siege for months while the 2 battles didn't last long at all.
The real battle didn't start until August 30.
