Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

I love Reach's story.
Go ahead, try me. Bring up anything you want that you think cannot fit within both series' of events, aside from the dates, and I'll logically make it work with both stories.
They don't have to conflict. People are just butthurt that Bungie didn't make a game based entirely on the novel, which is what everyone wanted, expected, and didn't get. That's the real reason behind the hatred for Halo: Reach. It has nothing to do with either story, and more to do with the community throwing a hissy fit over not getting the story they wanted. ... Here we go again ...
Really? There are no contradictions whatsoever, no change in theme at all?
Of coarse you have an explanation for everything; it is always possible to find some kind of excuse. That's exactly what 343i have been doing with Data Drops, they've tried to explain things, fix plot holes, by adding new information that fills us in on what actually happened.
So in a sense, yes, you're right, there aren't any contradictions nor plot holes whatsoever, cause if there are, all we'll have to do is find some far-fetched reason for it to work. There is always something one can resort to. No fictions ever have had any plot holes nor have they ever contradicted anything within itself.
You loved Reaches story, therefore you see no wrong with it. I couldn't care less for it, so I see all what's wrong with it. And since there apparently isn't anything wrong with it, I'm the one with bad taste. Ok, have it your way.
I'm just wondering if this is how you treat all fiction; whether you actually have any complaints, any at all, over some part of some fiction. I know I have. Ex: I love Halo CE, Deus Ex, and KotOR, but that doesn't delude from the fact that these games have flaws.
Even the sun has its spots. Reach on the other hand, has far too many. Fantastic game in many aspects though, just not story.
