[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] OrderedComa and quite frankly Reach fixed a lot of the problems that the battle in the book had.[/quote]Please enlighten me, as I didn't have any problem with the battle book. In fact, the only problem some people (more like idiots) had with the book is the fact that Reach fell in a single day. Yeah, let's ignore this awesome story overall, Reach fell in a day, -blam!- Nylund, he knows nothing of the Halo Universe.[/quote] How about the fact Reach had zero ground defenses, and lost the most important locations on the planet to a bum rush by maybe a 100 or few hundred dropships? Or how those locations fell within 2-3 hours despite travel time and the fact the dropships would have to regroup and figure out who is left? What about the fact the UNSC ground forces never mobilized or put up a fight, and the UNSC airforce with skyhawks (anti-tank missles and 4 50mm cannons) never did a thing?
