Unlike bungie, 343 doesn't ignore all previously established canon, they embrace it.
According to Halsey's Journal, both the game and the book goes side-by-side.


do you honestly believe that the entirety of the unsc fleet that fought in the book was unaware reach was being invaded until the 30th? Half the planet was on fire weeks before that day.

Do you honestly believe that even though "60% of the unsc fleet" (as auntie dot said), that the POA and its members, one of the most high profile ships in the fleet with the most high profile ground forces in the unsc on board, were not aware of the fight for reach until 2 weeks after the rest of the universe knew?

You are daft.
They were alerted, and they were indeed fighting. Auntie Dot said that the battle was on all fronts, both ground and orbital, in the Tip of the Spear opening cutscene.

You see, you are the daft one.

You are daft.

I'm sure the downed Visegrad Relay would make things difficult.


Right, even though 60% of the fleet came (which means even more were contacted, not all are contacted were able to actually make the trip, as you can imagine), the poa was left in the dark for 2 weeks, even though it was being refitted for operation red flag right outside that very planet, even though days before august 30th it was docked at reach and all the spartans met with dr halsey to discuss red flag, and most of the planet was on fire, but i'm SURE the POA was unaware because of one relay on the most militarily prepared world in the unsc.

I doubt your statement.

I'm not chewing you out. hamf here is talking bigshot to another, claiming that he can't play the games. Yet he has the poorer stats, making his points null and void.

You are a fool. You stated that the books and the game go side by side, but then you decide to reference a part of the game that completely contradicts the book.

In the book they did not learn of reaches invasion until the 30th. In the game though they would've learned of it by the 15th at the latest.

Your argument is a total failure because you contradict your own statements. You are now double daft.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Whatever. It would seem that the POA was being retrofitted during the battle. Anchor 9 was taking the Savannah's engines out and I noticed a variety of ships being repaired. Also, stop taking this so seriously, makes look like a fool.

Of course their will be some mild things changed.

If we went completely by the book, that would mean that the other books contradict it. Afterall, according to the Fall of Reach (Pg. 242, in fact), it states that we never encountered Sangheili before. That means Kurt's Mission Recording in Ghosts of Onyx is not cannon, as well with practically everything in Cole Protocol.

Im talking solely about things relating to the battle of reach, so all other incosistencies have zero bearing and I'm not sure why they were worth mentioning?

Changing the entire battle isn't exactly mild, not that I disagree with it.

But you realize your argument now is the complete opposite of why I disagreed with you in the first place?

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Hear hear!

However, I do care less for the future of Halo though, now that it is in the hands of a new developer; something that almost never turns out to be good. Just look at Knights of the Old Republic II, Bioshock 2, Crackdown 2, etc, none of these recent games -who all changed developers- were able to shine/ remain in the same spirit.
Now, of course, whatever 343 churns out might fell more Halo than the two latest Halos, one never knows, but I'm not keeping my hopes up...

Even though this is true, we need another Halo 2 in the near future to keep Halo on top. Awful games such as Black Ops are getting the gamer's attention. I am not a huge follower of the Halo story not including Halo 1, 2 and 3 campaigns, but they are awesome. Halo Matchmaking though, has captivated me for 7 years. I can still be frequently found on Lo 3 and I even LAN with my buddies on Lo 2 custom.
