High Charity and the Portal business still bears thoughts: there was absolutely 0 explanation given or documentation/anything how a 300km long Flood spewing vessel managed to head into the Portal while leaving Earth untouched. While the factions forming, the war etc in Thursday is understandable given Hood's final dialogue in Halo 3, ONI's absolutely retarded actions, are not. Firstly, you commit to peace, and then you start planetary bombardment of the species that saved you in the first place? Make infected crops just for the LOLz? Think about a colony on Sanghelios? I can even understand wanting the Elites to be under a civil war but ONI went full retard in the Thursday War.
