Unexplainable errors in the Halo canon. (Spoilers)

Here is a compilation of errors that we, the universe elite, have created in light of Halo: Reach's launch. Note, that this is STILL a work in progress, and will be upgraded as new breaks are located. [quote][/quote] [b]Error:[/b] Reach was invaded on July 24th. [b]Proof:[/b] All Halo media has always stated Reach fell in one day, and that day was August 30th. [b]Sources:[/b]Ghosts of Oynx, First Strike, Fall of Reach. [quote][/quote] [b]Error:[/b] Alpha Company was wiped out completely during Operation: PROMETHEUS in 2537. Carter, Emile, and Jun should not be alive. [b]Proof:[/b] Halo: Ghosts of Onyx goes into quite a bit of detail on Operation: PROMETHEUS. Spartan-III Alpha Company (comprised of 300 Spartans) were sent to K7-49 on a mission to destroy plasma reactors the Covenant were using to liquefy metallurgical components. The operation was a success, but it is explicitly stated that it cost the lives of [i]every Spartan-III on the asteroid[/i] because they got cut off from their Calypso-class Exfiltration crafts and completely lost their unit cohesion. Halo Reach chooses to ignore this. Carter (A-259), Emile (A-239), and Jun (A-266) are a part of Noble Team when they should have been dead years ago; Bungie have given us no explanation on [i]how[/i] they escaped at all. [b]Sources: [/b] - Ghosts of Onyx, page 83-87. - Halo Reach [quote][/quote] [b]Error:[/b] ONI's actions as well as the Cole Protocol. According to the Cole Protocol, if any Covenant Forces are detected, then all NAV bases and ships should purge their computers of information to protect Earth and the inner colonies. [b]Proof:[/b]If Covenant are detected on Reach on July 23rd, how is it that a month later, there are still computers with information to Earth still active? If ONI hadn't taken more than a month, than Blue team wouldn't have been deployed to the Circumference, and James wouldn't have died, and Linda wouldn't have been in a coma. Infact, they would have been on Reach with Red team. Sources: Pg 289 of The Fall of Reach gives information on the purging of Info not complete.

He was 11 years old when Alpha Company began their training. This puts him 5 years above the previously stated age, and it makes no sense at all. Why would they have an 11 year old on the same training regime as a 4 year old? It's too large of a difference, and it's an error that can be avoiding by simply changing his birthdate. This same thing goes for Emile and Jun, who are older than 6 years old at Alpha training. [b]Proof:[/b] Page 69(I'm doing this by memory, I may be wrong.) of Ghosts of Oynx states that all of Alpha Company was comprised of 4, 5, and 6 year old children that he was going to have to forge into the best warriors humanity has ever seen. [b]Source:[/b] Ghosts of Oynx, page 69. [quote][/quote] [b]Error:[/b] Lack of Orbital MAC's. [b]Proof:[/b] Reach had a number of Orbital MAC's that were used in the battle of Reach. They were present on August 30th, so they should have been present during the mission "Long Night of Solace" in Halo: Reach. Had they been present, they Jorge wouldn't have died. Where were they? [B]Source:[/b] Fall of Reach, First Strike, Halo: Reach [quote][/quote] [b]Error:[/b] Pillar of Autumn on Reach. [b]Proof[/b] During the final level of Halo: Reach, the Pillar of Autumn is on the planet, and isn't in space, preparing for the Prophet mission. This COMPLETELY destroys much of Halo's canon. If the ship wasn't in space, than the Spartans of Red Team would have never jumped to the planet, meaning that the 4 spartans who died, would have still been alive. Which could have hanged the outcome of the battle. PLUS, the space op to destroy the Circumference's NAV data wouldn't have happened. So Chief, James, and Linda had no reason to NOT be part of Red team. So the chief wouldn't have been on the Autumn, so Halo: CE wouldn't have happened. Why schedule a mission to capture a prophet, when there's a full scale invasion of Humanities second most important planet?

I'll add them to the OP, or try to explain them. Also, if you have any explanation to these canon errors, please, explain how they fit into canon, and the sources. [Edited on 09.16.2010 9:03 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] otterboyz the cole protocol, as seen [url=http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=intel&cid=27031]here[/url] only applies to space vessels and space facilities, so everything could have already of been purged on the 24th, the circumference could of easily had the date of the hack attempt by cortana moved back to an earlier date [/quote] Or it arrived at Reach late into the fighting at some point when it wouldn't have to purge its NAV Data just to jump into the system, and then it gets erased because of Cortana poking around. And then because it doesn't exist and because they're caught by surprise by the appearance of the [i]Fleet of Particular Justice[/i] and because the [i]Circumference[/i] "doesn't exist" it isn't discovered that it wasn't purge until almost too late.
