The personal shields of elites and spartans are slippery which makes grappling one another in combat difficult? Did Nylund stop to think that this makes it impossible for a Spartan or elite to pick up a firearm?The Shields have seperate 'depths', they are always very low on feet and hands to increase traction, but the rest of the body has the shields 'pumped up' all the way.
People who've had their spacesuits breeched "flash freeze"? Doesn't Nylund know that vacuum is the perfect insulator? Real life astronauts have COOLING systems built into their spacesuits so they don't overheat.They'd be overheating from their hot suit, not space. Space is a vacuum -- you cannot live in it, no oxygen, and it's freezing cold.
Also, the Pillar of Autumn was supposed to be one of the first ships to have artificial gravity systems installed. How the heck is it that all those MAC stations suddenly appear all designed around having artificial gravity which they've only had for a few years? What are they doing building a MAC station a week?They NEVER said that it as the first ship to have anti-gravity. They did, however, say that the Covenant ships don't have spinning sections, and that was strange.
Maybe you're confusing the PoA's new "Dual Reactors" that theIn Amber Clad has also had installed recently. "Both Reactor Cores have spun offline maam!"--IAC Bridge Staff.
Then there's simply the fact Nylund doesn't pay attention to details. In First Strike the Pillar of Autumn is supposed to only have three Pelicans but oddly there are four in Halo 1 if you play through the game and count. Why bother stating something if you can't back it up? I mean, I wouldn't even have given a thought to how many are on the Pillar.That was the three in the one hangar (like the one where the single Longsword was) not three in all.
Also, the three on the Butte were the ones that were prepped and ready to transport ODST's.
This is just a few little things... there's plenty more.No there's not. Go ahead, name some, and I will correct you -- again. ;)

Well with Bungie little mess up on Halo 2. It messed up Eric Nylunds story. He has nothing to write with that appropriately fits in with Halo 2.Both stories make total sense..the UH with 500 ships ready to jump to Earth were one of two things ::
Regret's original force, wittled down to 15 (which was around what was left after UH blew up)
Or it was the reinforcements sent to Earth, after a checkpoint stop with their station. The reinforcements that overrun the MAC Stations that is, and are seen in the Halo 3 trailer..time warping.
MLG... I shall now begin the paperwork to make you a GOD. I have only dreamed of ripping holes in someone's arguement like that. I tend to aim for a general defeat of the arguement, but that was a work of art.
