The invasion of Reach was severely downplayed.
There were like 5 more Covenant ships that came out of slipspace. I'm sorry but... The battle of Anchor 9 was so quiet. There should have been hundrens of different Covenant vessels, and there were not.
Even if the SMACS were higher in orbit than the Supercarrier, they could probably turn around and face the other way, and fire down on it.
By the way, a ship that size definitely would not last long because it would nt easil be able to avoid a MAC gun. They go a fraction the speed of light. (0.04c) I'm pretty sure.
Reach is the Hub of the UNSC. And the fact that it was poorly defended in the game by a few frigates, a handful of Sabres, and one Halcyon, (WHICH SHOULD NOT BE ON THE GROUND.) was pathetic. Reach is not Harvest. Reach should have been heavily defended by hundreds of UNSC ships of all different classes, and SUPER MACS.
Please present something logical that I can think about.
You can't argue with me is that the book was way more epic than the game. AND it made more sense.
Since I'm bored, I might as well...
Eric's Invasion of Reach was more downplayed. 1 day, seriously? 1 day for the Covenant to take over Reach?
I cannot exactly state when, but Halo: Reach took place before TFoR. It is safe to assume that the events of TFoR took place canonically somewhere after LNoS. Before that, Covenant forces have already infiltrated the planet and begun building up an army. The reason for the UNSC ships late arrival would be the fact that even then Human forces' ship were far inferior to Covenant ships in terms of slipspace technology. It is safe to say some of the Covenant strike force got there first.
If I had to give a guess, I would say the events in TFoR took place during the events from Exodus to PoA on Reach.
I was under the impression that the PoA was no longer fighting and had to go into atmosphere to retrieve the data fragment. Just look at the supercarrier above you. It is clear they have begun glassing.

I was playing Long Night of Solace when I got 1 marine to survive. It states clearly under the legendary difficulty that, "This is how Halo is meant to be played."
or something.
You blind?
