Halo Reach Did not Destroy the Canon

Anyone else agree? There are quite a few time gaps in TFoR, plenty enough to have everything in Reach (the game happen). And anyone who says that the UNSC should have detected the Covies coming, well since I just finished reading the book I can where you're coming from, but you have to remember that the only two times it was mentioned they detected anything they mistook the Covenant battle group for an asteroid or small planetoid at first, so the Super Carrier and Corvette in Reach could have easily gotten there without having the sensor stations detecting them. Now there's still the problem of the ships slipping past the outer defenses, but that's still doable, and it's entirely possible that they had limited stealth technology. A lot of the "problems" are also fixed in Halsey's Journal, haven't got to read that yet, but I plan to borrow it from my friend who got the Legendary Edition of the game. Anyway, this is a place for intelligent discussion, so feel free to share your ideas about the "inconsistencies" created by Reach, or just discuss the rest of the cannon, that's fine too.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kit_103 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II 1)Somehow during the battle when the UNSC desperatley needed every ship they can have to combat the covies and yet they use a few of them just to being down the Autumn?Doesn't makes any sense[/quote] [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] OrderedComa 1. I believe that Kit probably wasn't talking Ship of the Line combat sort of ships, probably something small and like those rocket tugships we saw getting the Autumn off the ground.[/quote] Pretty much this. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II -No just no. It hasn't anything to do with just dates. Explain me how Halsey was talking to the sII's during the operation red flag briefing on the 27th of august. According to Jun Red Team was reassigned to civilian bla bla on the 23th of August.Why continue with the red flag briefing if you are in the middle of war? And SWORD base was occupied by the covies at the 23th as well.Said by Jun as well So please tell me how did Halsey talked with her sII's on the 27th if she was stuck in sword base between the 14th and 29th of August???[/quote] I'd probably go with video communication. Pull them from their duties for a short bit, brief them on the the objective and let them go. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II -The entire vierry territoy was at war on the 12th,it's the size of a large continent.You think civilians wouldn't have noticed that?[/quote] Considering that the Viery region was nothing more then wastelands...that's a simple cover up. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II -The supercarrier destroying the UNSC fleet at Reach,something the civilians should have noticed as well -New alexandira -..many more[/quote] Of course people are gonna notice that, especially at the end of LNoS. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II ONI couldn't have kept it a secret,but why not evacuate civilians?Last time i checked UNSC would always evacuate civilans if a planet get's attacked.And the cole protocl has not been used??Why????Give me one good reason for all of this.[/quote] You just took out an assault carrier (or whatever the frack it's called) along with anything else on the ground. Pretty sure one would be feeling mighty victorious at that point. What's the point of evacing civvies when you "won"? And I was under the impression Winter Contingency was higher priority then the Cole Protocol. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II This games contradicts with all forms of previous canon,even with Halo ce and with the journal. This game is a total disaster.[/quote] Doesn't contradict Halo CE. It fits in perfectly. It does however, screw things up in the book. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hotshot revan II Why do bungie fans don't admit this,Reach wtfpwned the Halo canon.[/quote] It wtfpwned the last bit of [i]FoR[/i] and the beginning of [i]FS[/i]. Everything else is intact. We're gonna have to assume that Jun dies before reaching Castle Base, which would save [i]GoO[/i]. I won't take legendary commentary as canon IMO. I willing admit that yes, this game has screwed up canon. I won't argue against that. But it's fixable. Fix the dates. Fix how encounters went down. It's gonna be a messy job yes and people aren't gonna like it but in the end...it'll work. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Plasma3150 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kit_103 True, I have problem with a month long invasion but starting said attack somewhere in mid-August? I would have been fine with that IMO.[/quote]The actual invasion started in Mid-August. The Covenant encountered before the ending cutscene of the level [i]Long Night of Solace[/i] were more or less an expeditionary force.[/quote] True true. Thanks for the catch. And Coma, I like you already. ^^[/quote] -Explained in my previous post -I don't think you read the journal or the books or else you would have known that Halsey talked to the spartans face to face. -No vierry was home to the largest citys on Reach around the circular lake -They should have noticed that at the beginning of the vierry battle and even sword base attack.I have to remind you that the covies attacked on the 30th as a surprise attack. -Indeed,except that cortana in Halo ce didn't knew anything about the forerunners till she accesed the contol room,but in Reach she got access to a large forerunner structure with knowledge of their entire civilisation,my ass. -I have no problem with Jun surviving and yes you are right but it also contradicts the journal. They will have to sacrifise alot of things to blend the 2 together. I personally enjoyed the old fall of reach far more then this one.The new one doesn't makes any sense And sorry for my overeacting behavior in this thread guys
