Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Here are many

that is actually just a discussion and not confirmed and i cant tell what is what in that link


How do you really confirm canon inconsistencies? And besides, wouldn't anything provided here be just as much of a discussion, and just as much unconfirmed?

The only way you are going to verify claims, here or in the link I posted, is to look them up yourself and check.

I meant flaws that have already been discussed and confirmed as flaws by the people discussing them.


Then that would imply there would already be a thread exactly like this one, which means you don't want to do any of the work searching for it and that this would be a repeat thread.

The last halo game was a complete contradiiction.

I enjoy halo for it's story and when I am in the mood, its gameplay. Reach was significantly worse then I expected but was still a great game (minus the european hitscan fiasco). I am sitting on a two mile wide fence on the subject of halo 4. Most of the things I like a technical aspects though and not story or game play. Plus I am slightly mad they took my elites from MP.

the truth. Even the plotline to explain how the contradiction is canon is a complete contradiction of canon. if it's broken, it's broken.

the game's canon ain't broke, as much as I like the book, the game wins. It is BUNGiE's say what happens in THEIR story.

list of contradictions with the cover

-Covenant warships do not use camo (no ship is ever described as using camo, ever)
-there is no possible way the super carrier could have entered Reach' solar system without being detected by Fermoin(?) (the slipspace detection station that blows itself up in TFoR)
-150 standing warships defeated for days/weeks by 5 Corvette's with no pulse laser turrets, no sheilds and direct fire plasma weapons (that means no torpedo's) and definatly no excavation/cleansing beam
-pillar of autumn could detect a supercruiser at the asteroid belt firing energy projector shots and effectively snipping the UNSC fleet but not detect three corvettes less than 40 miles away from its location.
-pillar of autumn could detect ships entering and exiting slipspace in TFoR at the very edge of the system and yet couldn't detect the fleet of 3 assault carriers and multiple CCS battlecruisers exiting slipspace in orbit above it
-section three did nothing to protect the supercarrier in orbit even though they had chosen it as the method of executing operation: RED FLAG (this is the easiest to believe)
-Covenant reinforcements took two months to arrive at reach when we know that Covi slipsace is far superior to UNSC slipsace (covi: 912 LY a day. UNSC: 1 or 2 LY a day (depending on the ship)) and Truth reinforced regret in the battle for earth in minutes (after he had fled)

343i have stated that the deffinative edition of TFoR is canon in it's entirety meaning these still need an answer.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Halo: Reach is widely known to have completey screwed with the Halo canon to a ridiculously high degree.

I've stated my opinion several times, but I've never had the people who followed the book canon explain specifically why? So why?

  • 02.15.2012 4:56 PM PDT

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

What it destroyed more than anything else was continuity and a grounded universe on first source canon. Arguebly Halo Wars did that to some degree but Halo Reach was Bungie's project, much more damaging.
