Cave Johnson here, we're done!
PS: If you are reading this comment while imagining my voice, don't panic. That's just a side effect of the testing.
Winter Contingency:
1. Relay controls the area, noble team lost connection as soon as they went into the dark zone, which is caused by a downed relay station.
2. Not really a purely military station, used for Civilians as well. It may have been placed to accommodate for the large farm area.
3. Hiding possibly. That and leaving them there can allow them to take hostages or use them as traps *Hint* *Hint*.
4. Because if a spartan team failed than an army investigation could happen, which would hamper data retrieval which was the goal of the zealots.
5. Not if they strike the relay first and take out the communication relay and disable any rebellion from the farmers. Again, small farming community, not a lot of people around. If it was a bustling city people would notice.
ONI:SWORD BASE
1. Enabling the communication and AA gun made it so it would be harder for covenant troops to be dropped in.
2. Tracking for the MAC station, like laser painting in current day weaponry.
3. Who says it was a super mac round? You do know they can fire at lower velocities right? Just enough to penetrate the shields.
4. Light frigates are prepared for in atmosphere travel. They are not much of a fight against corvette's (LNoS).
NIGHTFALL
1. Time passed, relay station came back online with repairs.
TIP OF THE SPEAR:
1. Not the main push, this was one of the many pushes. Particularly one to take out AA guns.
2. Wouldn't be enough to get the job done.
3. Wasn't thirty feet in the air. That ship is 20 to 30 Km in length, that thing was in upper atmosphere.
4. Shields, the light frigates mac rounds are not enough to take out a corvette on it's own.
LONG NIGHT OF SOLACE:
1. The thing is huge, you try making it through thousands of covenant forces while traveling double digit kilometers with only two spartans.
2. Possibly not rated for in atmosphere travel, not all ships are aero-dynamic. Especially space ships.
3. Not enough time for him to travel far enough towards the planet before the jump. Him + unshielded/unhulled slipspace = dead. That and it had to be manual, which means when activated it goes into slip space.
4. They were dead, just you and him.
SIDENOTE: No comment.
New Alexandria:
1. Main battle practically over, Super Mac stations are down, or at least their power sources are.
2. With what? The large supplies of the things you don't have?
3. Glassing isn't an experience shared by many, it may have been the first time for Noble team.
4. Kat does it to get a better view on what she is working on, Jun is looking through binoculars with Higher magnification than his helmet, Carter is taking a break.
5. No shields + Headshot = death.
The Package:
1. Digging tech would be impractical against ice, would be like using a chainsaw against butter. Plus they wouldn't want to damage the forerunner tech below them. Castle base had a mountain over it, which allows them to actually use glassing beams to burn away the mountain.
2. They were already in the process of trying to get in, we got around there just at the right time.
3. Read Halsey's Journal, specified there about a theory she has of splitting AI's into seperate entities, and then merging them back together. Which she also does in that same journal.
4. No comment, I'm unsure of the times for the moment.
THE PILLAR OF AUTUMN:
1. The weapon they are using uses the term plasma but it is not. What they appear to use is a highly volatile plasma that still keeps is semi solid state. Which would crack glass just as much as a bullet. That and heat can crack glass, that plus high velocity could put bullet like holes in the glass.
2. They were being chased, which meant at one point they were discovered, what position the covenant where in when they were found is not known. So it might be safe to say while flying towards the POA covenant where ahead of them, they fired, turned around, and continued chasing them.
3. Internal bleeding is not limited to certain parts of the body. Brain hemorrhaging could cause bleeding through the nose.
4. When I read the books I didn't really see any part that made any notion that they just battled in the main attack and then traveled into slipspace. In fact in halo 2 it was mentioned that when the covenant began glassing the POA had left.
5. She doesn't know all there is to the forerunners. All the data she retrieved was possibly methods of interfacing with forerunner technology. Which the methods in of itself were probably simple.
6. No comment.
I could go on, but now it is YOUR turn to expose the cheesy, plot hole filled crap, that is Reach's story!
Not many holes. A couple here of there but a hole can often be confused with uncertainty rather than just overlap in time constraints or more often total lack of information. In this case I would go with it as uncertainty and some time overlaps.
