Check out the "Unexplainable errors in the Reach canon" thread in the Top forum topics for more info. [/quote]
I read that topic a while back but even those errors are explainable.[/quote]
Please, enlighten me. [/quote]
People have been "enlightening" you all throughtout your thread and all throughout this whole forum :P You're just simply not listening and writing every idea off, no matter how plausible (or sometimes implausible) it is. Your response, and the response of a whole lot of other people on here, pretty much boils down to "I'm offended that canon was slightly changed, so I'm going to sit here and shout down anyone trying to figure it out, no matter how intelligent or otherwise their proposed fix is!".
Lol, this Coma kid is funny. He's the most unabashed Bungie fanboy-apologist in this forum section.
The irony of this all is that you need enlightenment, not Caboose, who clearly can see how badly the game FUBAR-ed the canon.
First of all I am a she, not a he. And second of all, I am not a Bungie fanboy (or fangirl either), I just do not think that Reach completely broke canon and ruined the Halo franchise.
If people can find explanations for things, then it is not ruined, and there are already quite a few official explanations from Bungie (hint: look at the marketing material for Reach and Dr. Halsey's Journal).
It's the internet, I don't care. You're just another virtual entity.
Considering that you attacked Private Caboose for providing his provision of reasons why Reach(game) was canon-breaking, you proved your ignorance when you tried to downplay the existence of a gargantuan thread listing problems with the canon.
Yet, you just keep apologizing for Bungie's canon errors.
Anyhow, I've also read the Diary. And you want to know something, it provides absolutely jack. Not only was it a mundane read, I felt slightly embarassed for Nylund, being forced to insert half-arsed reasons why the new canon's circumstances. Likely seriously, holding fracking Spartan-armor test trials when millions of civilians are being slaughtered. That just reeks of incompetence.
I did not attack Caboose at all, I have no malice or ill-will directed toward him or any other person on here that think Reach breaks the canon of the whole Halo story. I merely pointed out that his points (and many others from other forum members) have been reasonably countered and explained countless times, and that very few people actually take the time to listen and instead just write it off as automatically wrong.
I'm sorry if you think that, but you're wrong, it does provide several fixes, whether you find it interesting or not is your opinion (and doesn't really matter to me one way or the other).
Honestly the account of the Battle of Reach in TFoR is more what feels half-assed to me than anything to do with Halo: Reach. Humanity's second most important world and its military center falling in a couple hours to only 314 ships is rather ridiculous.
Things were never, truly, truly dire until the second Covenant fleet, the Fleet of Particular Justice, arrived at Reach on the 30th. Everything before that the UNSC could have beaten off with heavy losses, and the civilians and key military personnel they couldn't afford were being evacuated from Reach. When Chief underwent the testing of AI integration into Mark V civilians would be either off planet and away or evacuated to staging areas further away from the path of the Covenant. Sure there would still be civilians casualties going on, but at that point there would not be millions of civilian deaths happening at once, that's just silly to even suggest that.
