You must be proud of that exact same comment you made in the other thread.
What's the reason of this thread? To point out that the fans would be angry if the Campaign and the novel were backwards? Can't you really see the problem?
Bungie created the whole Halo Story in the Halo Story Bible. They gave all that information to Eric Nylund so he could write the novels. It's not like Nylund said "wouldn't it be awesome if Reach fell in a single day?", it was written by the employees at Bungie.
Suddenly, they decide to change the whole thing for no apparent reason. Stop defending the Campaign with such a weak argument.
They didn't change the whole thing. For all we know Nylund was given a limited view of the battle, and that is what we got.
Also, it was written when halo was just being formed. Clearly they went back and updated it.
I think it was said the authors do not get the halo story bible. They only get bits and pieces relating to what they needed to know.
TFOR dealt with the space battle. So Nylund got the main one (The one on the 30th).All the Halo media that expands the universe has always established that Reach fell in a single day.
And if he was given a "limited view" of the battle, then how can you justify all the events that happened at Reach during "Halo: The Fall of Reach"? No one ever said that the Covenant had already invaded the planet, they were too busy making a plan to capture a Prophet so they could stop the war, testing the MJOLNIR Mark V, etc.
I haven't read Halsey's journal yet, but apparently, ONI managed to trick the whole population (even the readers... apparently), hiding everything that revealed the Covenant's presence in the planet. [sarcasm]BRILLIANT[/sarcasm]
Yes, The Fall of Reach deals with the space battle, but what about the introduction for First Strike? Another point of view from Spartans that were fighting in the ground.
