REACH DIDNT BREAK CANON. Please give me an example, im using my big boy letters and im angry. just kidding but how did it break canon? If you read the books it fits canonI can't believe no one has called you out on this. I'm not sure if you're lying about reading the books, trolling, or perhaps something else, but there are some obvious discrepancies between the fall of Reach as presented in the game and the books Fall of Reach and First Strike. The major problems are that a. in the books no mention was made of the appearance of the Covie Super-Carrier, which at the time was THE largest space-faring vessel ever seen by humans, over Reach as a prelude to the invasion. The idea that this wouldn't have been mentioned is ludicrous, as not only would it be extremely important in general, but practically impossible to conceal. Secondly, and even more importantly, the entire purpose of the Pillar of Autumn, its participation in the epic space battle that truly decided the fate of the planet, hell the fact that they were in space the whole damn battle are ignored by the game, which has it sitting on the ground despite the fact that it was according to the books ready to launch a mission deep into covie space to capture a prophet. They just decided to ignore that and have them sitting around waiting for Cortana, even though she was already on board in the books? Unless you've decided to completely ignore these discrepancies as having ever existed, there's a serious issue/ret-con/whatever.
