"Were it so easy..." -Thel Vadame.

After the Human-Covenant War, do you think the remaining public actually learned or were informed about what was going on in those final months? Did the Halo events become common knowledge?

I'm kind of thinking it was hidden- based on the "Believe" movies. But you'd think it'd be important to know what was going on during the end.

There was a museum about the War. Wether there was information about the Halo Incident and the Battle of Installation 00, i don't know. It would seem that they included those battles, otherwise the public would be in the dark for how we actually won the war.

I don't think you can hide a portal that takes up a quater of a continent.

I'd guess no. there was no "Second Battle of New Mombasa".
the events of the John 117 Monument never happened.

Oni (cliche as it is) probably covered it up.
the public had been terrorized but the Covenant for 30 years. they didn't need to know that Halo and the Flood had existed.

yeah, the monument said chief died in the 2nd battle of nm, which doesnt make sense at all comparing it with halo 3's story

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I highly doubt the UNSC would release info on the Forerunners and especially the Flood.

Easy. Covenant orbital bombardment in both cases.
Cause they totally did that on the last cutscene in halo 3.

Most of the surviving humans at the time were military anyway. Most of them were fighting on Earth (some could have been on Ballast, which survived along with Earth) and saw the portal opening, the Flood on Floodgate, and many were on the Ark with the Master Chief. ONI can't cover up everything.
