CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

If that book were followed to the letter, then there would be no others. I have read the book and it would have ruined any chance of making good games. Halo Reach would have been a horribly dull game. Plus, Halo Reach wasn't the first thing to retcon the book. Halo Wars did, Halo Contact Harvest did and Halo Reach was just latest in the pile. I'd prefer not to follow that book thank you.Thank you, good sir.
I will add to this, by saying that of all the Halo books, Fall of Reach has the most mistakes, inconsistencies and typos. Do I trust it? Hell no. They couldn't even fix their blam with the reprint.
It's a great story, but it ain't no canon masterpiece.thing is the fall of reach is still considered canon be it having alot of inconsitencies it is still canon, what most are whinging about is events and certain characters (S3 with S2) and not caring on what other forms of media have said that cover it all up.
"Spartan 3s wernt on reach"- Explained
"halsey didnt know about S3 till first strike"- explained
"why didnt we know of the covenant if they came sooner?"-explained
everyone is just finding something to complain about even though it was and has been Explained other than the POA on reach which you could use a time frame of it going to reach after read teams drop off and chiefs extraction,
but nope their just whining and nitpicking :/
They didn't need to follow TFoR to the letter...how hard would it have been to just make it so that the story FITS with the story in TFoR? Give me a week and I'll be able to write up a story that doesn't contradict canon and yet is way better (IMO) TFOR was the first novel written and released-prior to CE btw-so it was bound to have inconsistencies, but those are generally little things. What Reach did changes an entire section of things. It's called the butterfly effect, and this is directed right at you, Alf Stewart. Think about what the seemingly "insignificant" changes made to the events mean. Not just the surface, but rather if that change was made, what others would have had to been made, etc.
Ps. Halo Reach's story sucks no matter how you look at it.
you saying elites being only at reach and first seen and fought at reach a small inconsistencie :S
Erm, actually, that is pretty insignificant. Nylund obviously took creative license with that, so we can ignore that, but the point is that this kind of mistakes can easily be thought through logically as soon as people realized it's inconsistent, but even that didn't come until much later.
TFoR was the first ever canonical Halo info released, so to be honest there ARE some parts that do require to be fixed up, but when they are fixed up, it should be done so with logical new info. What Halo: Reach did failed this test.
