Subject: Ret-cons of The Fall of Reach

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

Bungie made Halo: Reach. They also asked Eric Nyland to write The Fall of Reach back in 2001. Eric Nyland used Bungie's Halo Story Bible when he wrote it.
Now if Bungie did change anything that occurred, they can do so because it's their universe.
George Lucas (Star Wars) and Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) both did some things that changed the canon a bit. It's simply known as ret-con.
Ret-cons are used for various reasons. Sometimes it could be a small error that needs to be fixed. Other times it's just a small plot hole that the makers wish to change.

The Fall of Reach
In the Fall of Reach book, it states that the Pillar of Autumn has a command chair. If you play Halo: CE, the chair is nowhere to be seen.

Halsey and Keyes, along with anybody, go into cryo sleep naked. In other games and media, everybody has clothes on.

In the book, Halsey never knew of the Elite's existence. This is ret-conned later.

The total number of Spartans change throughout the book along with the whole series.

The book never says that Covenant were on Reach before August 30th, but it never says that they were never on Reach before August 30th.
