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

So, I am reading The Fall of Reach, and I looked ahead a little to the section called "Halo"
It says 2542, why? Is it just an error that occurs throughout HALF the book that no one seemed to notice?

EXTREME PREJUDICE

Many people noticed.

There's a massive thread discussing the errors of the novels somewhere. Search through the Universe forum; you'll find it.

It's a confirmed typo. This was already pointed out and confirmed by 343 staff shortly after the reissue launched.

@DrMod Seriously??? I'm not whining at all. I was just confused and wanted to make sure it was a typo. Chill out.
When I said no one noticed I meant during the editing process, not other readers...

Thanks for letting me know they realized it afterwards, I was unaware. Oblivious to the situation simply because I've never seen this come up before. Sorry and thank you. Jeez

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Yes, it's a typo. Quite unsettling that they wouldn't notice such an important one.
