And as for the whole "game is better than book" debate, personally, I think Halo: Reach is beyond flawed compared to the book. Nobody was a dumbass in TFoR, and a superior alien absolutely threw us to the gutter.
I don't hold either one in higher regard, they're different, and I don't think they can really be compared, but with Halo: Reach extending the length of the battle we can now have many more stories set during Reach's fall than we ever could with TFoR, and that is better.
In Halo: Reach, it's as if everyone in the entire game ingested a load of stupid pills. Jorge killed himself, even though a SPARTAN-II is frigging expensive and a damn sight better than Noble Six, Six should've stayed behind.
Than any other SII who stayed behind to detonate a bomb is stupid too. That doesn't make sense to the game though, you don't kill the player character early in the game like unless it's something like CoD where you play as different people each level. And regardless of Jorge's expensiveness, Six is more valuable to the war, he is a much better fighter on the same level as Master Chief.
Kat's just a retard. She did so man dumb things, I can't believe Colonel Ackerson let her in Beta Company.
I don't see anything worth complaining about in Kat, unless of course you are confusing the gameplay's AI with the canon competence of the character, and if that's the case you don't have a leg to stand on. How a character acts while the AI is controlling them is in no way indicative of their competance. Like for instance, the Arbiter, he often acts like a moron in H3, but we all know he is the Covenant's equivalent to Master Chief.
The CO of the Savannah just sat there and asked to be shot down.
The Savannah was not just "sitting there asking to be shot" it was engaging the Ardent Prayer, or whatever the Corvette's name was.
The Falcon pilots are all -blam!-. They just drop you in a combat zone, without actually shooting at anyone. Why?
That's what every single pilot in Halo has ever done, the ship that drops you off almost never stays to fight, the Pelicans did that all the time in the trilogy, why start complaining about it now?
Blowing up the Long Night of Solace with s slipspace drive, because REACH, THE FRIGGIN MILITARY STRONGHOLD OF HUMANITY, didn't have any nukes to spare. WHAT?
This is your only point I remotely agree with, but that does not make the whole plot stupid, it is only one weak point in the big scheme of the story.
The Pillar of Autumn on the ground. That didn't make much sense, and what else didn't make sense: Where were the shipyard's defenses? They seriously didn't have squat to help them out, apart from that mass driver.
I don't see anything that doesn't make sense about it at all, obviously the Autumn can land, nothing wrong with that, it landed on Alpha Halo. We only saw a small section of the shipyard, judging the whole over one area is stupid.
Speaking of the mass driver, why did the Phantoms just sit in front of the mass driver, practically begging to be shot? And why did the cruiser appear over the mass driver, showing off its weak point? What?
They were not just sitting there, they moving around trying to make themselves a harder target to hi. And as for the cruiser, that was not a weak point, that was where the glassing beam is emitted from, and they naturally have to drop their shields in order to glass the area, you take advantage of that fact and blow it up. And it would seem to me that these smaller ships, of which I believe was the one at the shipyard, don't have shields, or seem to have very weak ones.
And Halsey. Why was she so angry? She was portrayed as a stern, but caring woman in the book. Granted she abducted and drugged up a whole bunch of kinds, but she made sure to treat them nice and with respect. Why did she suddenly lose her temper at everyone and not act cool like she usually does?
Halsey acted just like she does in the books, stern when crossed, calm, cool, and collected. She very much had a calm "don't cross me" attitude. And if you still think she was irritable, you try acting calm with the Covenant banging on your door and having important research to defend.
There's more, but that's probably enough for now.
Bring it on...we shall be waiting for you >:)
I'm on your side.
Says the guy who knows nothing of Halo's Canon, lol.
