I don't care. I really don't.

Posted by: Venator82Most of those are just handwavium, where you are simply saying things to try and hold the canon together between Reach and everything else. 'ONI cover up' is my favourite one to hate, it just shows so little effort as to an actual excuse. Might as well say that Halo is a sub-program of the Matrix.
This one, however, caught my eye.
-The PoA touched down after deploying Red Team and collecting Blue Team. It was nearly midnight at the beggining of the Package, and early/mid morning by the time the level ended and Dot said it was waiting, and the PoA started to accelerate outsystem (presumambly before Halsey called it back) at about 0615 hours.You seem to have skimped over the post I made - someone in one of the two other threads I mentioned said how PoA had been on standby waiting for 6 from 16:52 (or thereabouts) on the 29th August. The SPARTAN teams were supposed to be deployed from orbit during the space battle on the 'morning' of the 30th, 0617 (I think) using the military calendar.
The SPARTANS were in cryo before PoA even took off from Reach's surface, so Red and Blue team's missions never happened (or at least not in the way they did in the book), which means, as one possibility, Halo CE now takes place with close to 30 SPARTAN-IIs.
The only way to explain that one away would be to claim a stray plasma torpedo gutted the cryochamber bays, leaving only 117 alive with his reality-bending luck.
The canon isn't broken if you look at it properly. Believe me, I wanted it to be broken until I looked, at which point I was dissapointed and, even more so, relieved that it wasn't just intact, but expanded.In what way? From what I have seen, mostly from that list I gave that you quoted, it is even more destroyed than I thought.
And I've had the level of destruction upped no fewer than 4 times post-release.
ONI coverup is -blam!-, I know, but I was reffering to my older theories document, rather than the newer ones (look at my above post). Another thing, what was that about the Spartan IIs in cryo? I am actually in the dark about that one.
