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

1. your arguement is not compelling, why cant it be?
2.mind explaining how
3.who said it was my favorite franchise? 2nd i had no desires for this game, i only expected bungie to make a good campaign like they usualy do, which they seemed to failed in doing. 3rd how is the story "outdated", funny your arguement for LOTR contradicts itself with that statement
4th. i worship the story, not the creator... when the creator makes the whole story irrelevant and impossible because they wanted to make a -blam!- quality campaign, i get mad, because the story has been destroyed.
1. The Lord of the Rings is one of the definitive fantasy epics of the 20th century. Halo isn't even the pinnacle of sci-fi. As such, no self-respecting author would think of changing the story, even the games either follow the main story or focus on areas not explored by Tolkien. Halo, not so much.
2. If you think about the events of TFoR, despite it being terrible in my opinion, and the game, a lot of it can co-exist. Halsey's Journal helps in this regard. I'll probably go more in-depth later, but as for now, you can have this point.
3. The Reach-era of Halo's story is outdated because it was written before much of the events in the games and other books expanded on Halo;s universe. Now that new information has been released, it's only appropriate for Reach to get a good retcon.
4. The story has not been destroyed, only drama queens believe this.
Simply put, the Battle of Reach told in TFOR, and a tiny bit of First strike, is from a completely different, and somewhat limited, viewpoint. In Halo Reach, we see somebody else's viewpoint.
Even then, the radios match the tale of the ground battle in First strike, and a waypoint video from 343 points out the space battle fitting.
Oh, and I find it funny as heck that the people who made this game CANNOT be right when they say it fits canon, as they CLEARLY don't have access to the Halo Story Bible and we do right?
Obviously. And besides, I don't care how many years TFoR was around. After more of the universe has been expanded, I'm supposed to believe Elites were a new threat for humanity on Reach and accept the broken Spartan numbers?
No.
