1. Apparently Master chief was still training with cortana in some mountain base while the planet was already under siege for weeks.
2. The POA isn't rated for atmosphere so it could never land on the planet.
3. Brutes never took part in this battle.
4. Zealot Elites are field commanders, not spec ops commandos who sneak onto planets looking for artifacts.
5. How exactly did a city sized supercarrier "sneak" onto the planet? I don't buy the whole cloaking excuse because it's not like the cloaking devices were already on the planet, so the ship couldn't have been cloaked when it arrived at the planet.
6. Where were the 100 unsc ships that were supposed to be in orbit around the planet at all times? I saw like 3 or 4 and that's it.
7. What was stopping said fleet from gutting that supercarrier as soon as it de-cloaked? Or the orbital MACs?
8. Why would the covies bother invading New Alexandria when their ships overhead could just glass it? Not to mention there was nothing of value in the city.
9. In tip of the spear why launch a ground assualt that revolves around charging straight at the enemy? This isn't the revolutionary war.
10. Why was there a piece of cortana not with the chief?
11. The last level after the credits Noble 6 was nowhere near castle base, the only spot the covies didn't glass so why wasn't he roasted and why were the covies still deploying ground troops to that location?
12. If the Sabres were so powerful why didn't the unsc just use them at the start of the battle instead of waiting until the covies had them be the balls?
13. The unsc appeared as if they were getting walked all over when in the book they really put a hurting on the covies.
Tha's all i can think of but there are plenty more.
1. I am guessing that they have moved the date of the Mark V field testing further back, and Noble has Mark V too, so I think it is safest to say that the field testing date has been pushed back.
2. Obviously it can land, 'cause it did, and did you not see the thrusters attached to its sides? Those were helping it get off the ground.
3. Bungie retconned the fact that Elites hadn't been seen before Reach, obviously they retconned the fact that Brutes weren't there either, and you didn't see all that many of them. There were a lot more of the Elites, so obviously the Brutes had a minor role in the battle.
4. Obviously they serve more than one purpose, just because Humanity has only seen Zealots in commanding positions does not mean that they only serve as commanders.
5. As far as I know we don't have answer for that yet, but I do not expect it to go unanswered. And anyway, it was in the middle of nowhere and there weren't any SMACs or a lot of ships nearby, I think it could have slipped down undetected.
6. Bungie stated before the game even came out that Reach is not taking part in the area of Reach we saw in the book, so that's my response for why we didn't see many ships, and again, most of the game takes place out in rural farmer land, not the main military centers.
7. See above point
8. I'd assume it'd be to try get something of importance there, or to try and capture NAV data or other helpful information.
9. Armies still charge each others positions like in old wars, but when the situation calls for it, it's not like old wars where they only stood and shot each other, sometimes a head on assault is the only viable option, or is just the best option.
10. Because Halsey had the fragment studying the Forerunner artifact under Sword Base, did you pay attention to the game at all?
11. Glassing a planet takes time, and it looked to me like Lone Wolf is taking place almost directly after the last level ends, and you destroyed the only cruiser in the immediate area so the Autumn could get away.
12. Sabres didn't seem all that powerful to me, only a little better than a Longsword. And I would assume they weren't used because they weren't ordered to be put to use until Operation Uppercut.
13. Of course it seemed that way, you're fighting a losing battle, and I didn't feel like I was losing until Exodus, that's when it felt depressing and like "oh -blam!- we're all going to die".
Honestly I think you're reading way too much into this and finding some "errors" where there are none.
