Well, what else would I expect? I knew Reach would fall, and I perfectly understood why. The Covenant royally destroyed the UNSC defenses and swarmed the planet like locusts.
No one was surprised, everyone knew it was going to fall. That's not what this is about is it? We're talking about how Noble Team could not save Reach.
In that case, the same priciples apply.
How can you expect 6 Spartan IIIs to save an entire planet. You must remember, Noble was sent is an investigation crew, not a strike force prepared to fight to the death.
And even if they were prepared to fight, it was against untrained, easy target rebels... not an entire army of much more advanced, battle hardened alien soldiers who were willing to fight to the death because of their religion.
