Wait, what? Nothing is changed. Cortana only recieved the location of Installation 04 from two places instead of one, and that's it. The only thing that changed was the dates Reach was attacked, and quite frankly I don't think that will change much besides some explainging 343 has to do in the near future and story majors are ripping their hair out, which has nothing to do to change the story.
I don't see why you think it would change just becuase Cortana knew where Alpha Halo was before they arrived.
Originally, Cortana managed to figure out the location because she put a couple different things together and made sense of them. She only did so because the Chief kept having these moments where he saw the strange symbols in the crystals and thought they looked familiar.
Also, the PoA was never on the ground during the battle of Reach. That was why so many Spartan IIs got left behind. The few Spartan IIs who survived ended up having the staring role in the book Ghosts of Onyx...
It just seems weird to me that Bungie would throw a wrench, even a small one, into a well oiled and well loved machine. We all loved the books and accepted them as law. Any changes, no matter how minor, will undermind the faith people place in the story writers and their general belief in the story. We all fall into the story because it is solid. The universe they created was based on the rock solid foundation of the first book and the first game...
That has changed. Maybe for worse or maybe for better, but the fact remains that it was changed.
