I like how the dozens of far more expendable Marines suddenly disappear when the cutscene starts.
No, that's not nitpicking, that's a damned big plothole.
Also Megamuffin is correct. Since we, as fans, cannot officially declare Reach non-canon, we'll have to accept the theory that voids everything that happened in this game's campaign.
And what makes you think they would have survived to reach that point? Every time I've played on the higher difficulties of gameplay (which is what everyone agrees is the most accurate to canon) if any marines reach the end of the LNoS level it's by pure, dumb luck. I know in the books and the way plasma damage and the like is portrayed in them that the mariens would have no chance of survival.
And it's happened in every single other Halo game when you take marines with you on a mission, none of them survive the whole thing on the higher difficulties.
Megamuffin's theory is just plain full of holes and is not even a good attempt to try and rationalize why Reach can't be true. And it has no evidence to back it up whatsoever.
