I am a monument to all your sins

I recently finished reading the reprint of Halo: Fall of Reach, and a noticed a consistant and major canon error/typo in it that wasnt present in the origional (I checked). On all the dates listed at the begining of each chapter from the battle of Sigma Octanus onwards the year is stated as 2542 instead of 2552. At first I thought this was changed to fix some of the descrepencys caused in Halo: Reach, but this continued all the way through the battle of Reach and to the PoA's arrival at Alpha Halo. All other sources state that these events occured in 2552, and at one point the year 2550 is refered to in the past tense. As this typo is at the heading of every chapter that should take place in 2552, it seems unlikely to a typo, and more likely a mistake. What do you guys think?

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.

I heard someone say once (paraphrasing here) "Multiflag on Blood Gulch with your friends is what makes Halo, Halo." I GUARANTEE that more people agree with that sentiment than "Getting a 50 in MLG is what makes Halo, Halo." - Oboewan42

2542 is a typo that was present in the original TOR. For a reprint, they didn't really fix any of the issues that were originally present.

That typo isnt in my copy of the origional fall of Reach, and they did fix some things, like how there is no way 75 young spartains can fit in one pelican, so they changed it to an albatross. They also stated that they had prior knowledge of elites (even thought they arent in the book untill the end) while in the origional elites were just theoretical.

Which was a huge mistake. If they spent just a bit longer they could have fixed all the problems that people are complaining about.
