The PoA part still bothers me, it just doesn't make sense. Why would a Halcyon Cruiser land, to get fitted with tugs, where it cant defend itself to pick up Cortana? Just send down a bunch of Pelicans and Longswords and let the PoA support the pickup as an actual warship, and not just a useless lump in the drydock. Why land the ship?
Sense, this makes none.
Imagine if the one that carried a fragment of Cortana to the PoA got shot down during transport. No, you won't take that risk, you will land the whole ship, because that's how important it is.
I understand that its dramatic but it still makes no sense. The main Cortana was on PoA, landing the ship placed her in danger. If the PoA was still in orbit it could at least fight or even flee, rather than just being that sitting duck at the shipping yard.
The chances of Noble making it would be much better if the PoA was giving support as a functioning warship, knocking down dropships, bombarding Covenant forces, sending backup etc.
Yes, I agree with you on that, but let's not forget that if Noble Team had made it to the PoA, the games and the novels would have to be rewritten or stuff like that. So I guess Bungie was kind of forced to make them die the way they did, so people wouldn't complain about the story being ruined with Spartan-IIIs being aboard the PoA.
Sometimes I feel like it would have been better if Reach was never made, although I personally liked it very much, but it was kind of dull to know already that no matter what you're going to do on the planet until last level, it wouldn't matter at one bit.
