Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I would never be a fan of the Halo Story, i would consider the Halo Franchise to be a stale and rubbish tale of a green cyborg fighting random aliens.

EDIT- I would still consider Noble Team, being the worst special forces squad in any book, game, film out there.

My interpretation of a spartan would be equivalent to 8-year old kids pretending they are navy seals.

False. Halo Reach just has way too many errors that not only conflict estabilished canon but common sense too.

  • 05.29.2011 5:18 AM PDT

Halo 2 would still have the best story by far, followed by CE, then Reach, then ODST and Wars and then H3.

But the fact is that a lot more people would be a lot more forgiving towards Reach in such an alternative world...

False. Halo 2, CE, and ODST have much better stories. Although without previous information on Reach the game might be seen as better by some.

  • 05.29.2011 7:09 AM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Halo 2 still has the best story. But I still really like Reach. I liked Bungie's battle of Reach better than Nylunds.

Reach contradics more than just the first book.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha.

No, false.

very false. In the halo universe, reach is depicted as the heart of the military for the unsc, and the most important planet next to earth. the fall of reach is depicted as pretty much the end of the world, and a great loss for humanity. Halo reach was non of that. On top of the fact that halo 1 and 2 (even 3 and ODST) had much better stories.

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

Reach had the worst Campaign, weather it messes up the book's canon or not.

False. ODST had the best campaign of all the Halo games.

“We are the Mirratord. We strike with speed and stealth. Our enemies will not see their deaths. They will not know their fate. In darkness, we will see light. In light, we will see darkness. No matter the location, we will see victory. If we fail, no one will know. Like a ghost, our presence is a mystery. For the honor of the mirratord" join the Mirratord

The Eric Nylund would not have ruined Halo

I see somebody already used the "Because Noble Six did not personally tour every military base, or visited every space defense structure/ship, that means they weren't there!"

Apparently somebody missed the memo that most of Reach's surface was still wilderness...

Anyway, in the topic, people wouldn't be running around screaming I believe.

Though it'd weaken Keyes, Halsey, and other characters greatly, they wouldn't be focused on the fact a 10-year old book is being changed in a smallish manner.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Best story by far?

Lolno.

I agree with this. I liked the idea of Reach falling after a month of battles, not just in less than two hours as in the novels.

@accordingto343

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

I follow that camp too. It just seems like Nylund got lazy with the ending by having 314 ships Zerg Rush Reach.

My issue was this.

A: They say if the generators remained online, the line would hold due to the super-macs and having the dust cloud from the destroyed repair stations.
B: In the book, on the 30th a 'zerg rush' of phantoms and spirits got to the poles.
C: Within an hour or two, the generators are overrun. Aren't these places supposed to be the most-guarded UNSC facility (bar High-COM maybe, though I'd rather High-COM have fewer guards to ensure the generators remained running.) on Reach? How are they wiped out that damn quick when the covenant just had dropship deployed forces?

Overall, it just seems like the most defended places of Reach fell way to dang easy...

Edit: Oh, forgot, the UNSC typically had the advantage/won ground battles, which makes it even more crazy.
