The worst thing for the crew is waking up in a time where their family have either deceased or have grown old. Cutters family lived on Reach and we all know what happened with that planet.
They lived in a time where humanity is losing badly against alien, constantly on the retreat while losing numerous planets and horrible winning odds in space. Now they wake up in a time where humans kickasss with hybrid human/alien tech. The covies have destroyed themselves with a civil war, discovery of the flood and forerunners.
Hope they are prepared for these mind blowing revelations when they wake up.

SoF encountered forerunners and flood LONG before the Installation 04 incident.

SOF just identified them as unknown aliens, they didn't knew who they were and what history they had.

Right, I just said they [i]encountered[/i] them, not that they ID'd them as who they are.

They lived in a world where the only major battle had been Harvest, and there was still hope of winning. Remember, they missed 23 years of the war. Pretty much all the big battles they were absent for.
