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

The real fighting began on August 12, 3552 and ended on August 30, 2552. Between then and September 7th, 2552, there were isolated skirmishes.[/quote]
PIME TARADOX!
No, but seriously? The Battle of Reach is apparently a month long now.
What the hell the Chief was doing all that time... who knows.[/quote]
Fighting on Reach? Autie Dot did state that 60% of the UNSC fleet was coming to Reach on August 13th and would arrive in 48 hours, Chief could've come from that intial wave of much later. Chief could fight on the surface, perform a testing of the new MJOLNIR armor, assemble for a meeting for Operation RED FLAG, though under much more dire circumstances, and particpate in the wiping of the Circumferences NAV data.[/quote]
When Dot talks about the Fleet wasn't Chief at the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV? IIRC. So that's where he'd be, 'til he got back to Reach at least.[/quote]
On August 12the chief was testing the new MJOLNIR and almost being killed in the process.[/quote]
Ever heard of testing in the field? The Israeli military does it all the time. At this point during the Battle of Reach, the fighting was relativly isolated. I wouldn't be surprised if ONI did a news blackout.
Actually if you read page 216. while the chief is arriving to camp Hatchcok he noticed the high security level in the area which was unusual, before Halo: Reach you could think it was because of the "special" test for John, but now with Halo: Reach could be probably because ONI infact knew they were under attack.
That makes sense, but to clarify, a news blackout would be used on civilians.
