I never thought I would see people get this upset over something as trifling as the dates, or where the SMACs were positioned etc.
About a fictional universe.
OT: I was disappointed in teh Campaign as well. But not enough to where I go looking for every flaw like some of you.
People find ANYTHING to complain about...
Pretty much this is what I've gathered concerning certain(not all, but some) people against Reach. They simply cannot accept it wasn't a copy+paste of the book, and therefore it ruins ALL(100%) OF HALO CANON LORE! and blow up the problems to nuclear sized instead of grenade sized.
Also, "Only a mindless dummy would accept Reach" (or something similar was said in this topic) Then I guess Bungie AND 343 are both mindless. Seeing as they BOTH accept both the book and game as canon.
If it honestly -blam!- destroyed canon/had as big errors as you all said, wouldn't frankie/343(now holders of the halo story bible) been up in arms? Outright talked about it? No, now they are giving us MORE of the missing information about Reach.
And all that is said about it is "This is bull-blam!-, 343 is having to POORLY cover Bungie's ass." (Amusing especially since if 343 was as great concerning canon, wouldn't their corrections be far from poor?)
Just a rant.
edit: Geesh, slander much? I've NEVER heard Coma treat Reach as being 100% perfect with no errors whatsoever. Hell, least we are actually thinking about it instead of going "Oh, here is an error of (undetermined) size. Instead of thinking about it, we'll just make it appear bigger."
Hell, if you stare over Reach with a fine tooth comb, do so for the rest of canon. It's also filled with varying errors. Last I checked, Coma was like myself. Reach isn't perfect, but neither is the book. Thinking about it and coming up with solutions to fill the missing information gap is better then being mindless and going "It's broken, there is a hole here! We must whine until somebody fixes it" and then "IT'S not fixed EXACTLY as I wanted!"
Note, I am not saying everybody against Reach is like this. However, there are some that are.
