AC Matt Klassen:
What I want to know is how could a 27km long ship fly into Reach's atmosphere, maintain altitude, set up a base/field a massive army, and not get detected by UNSC scanners? Are the UNSC really that primitive?
Is this explained in the retconned Fall of Reach novel?
Jamming.

Wouldn't the UNSC be just a tad alarmed about their scanners/radar filled with a bajillion red dots? Or every single scanner on that contenent giving static?

AnnoyinGinge:Halsey didn't know about the Spartan-3 program until Onyx, yet she met Noble Team on Reach. Unless she suffers from severe memory loss, this makes absolutely no sense.

She didn't know about the SIII program, she just assumed someone plagarized her work on creating biologically enhanced human supersoldiers. Eg. Hrunting/Yggradsil[?]...

dude527:
CtNightrider:I looked and didn't see anyone complaining that the Pillar was on Reach. This doesn't make any sense. Ships like that don't dock planet side, just before the battle the Pillar was docked on a repair station, I think it was hopeful. That was the reason most of the SII's had to take a pelican down to the planet to protect the MAC generators, the pelican that got shot down killing many spartans. The whole thing pisses me off because it makes it clear the writers didn't read the books. So who else noticed major breaks in cannon?

I'm a bit late to this, but I wanted to point out that this is right; these ships were assembled in space and built for space travel. It would be physically impossible for one to leave a planet's atmosphere, or to dock in-atmosphere. That's a major fail.

It's possible if there's a large amount of landside supplies that need to be moved onto the ship, fast. The ship's thrusters + those extra packs, clearly show that they can lift a ship out of atmosphere, as stated in the cutscene.

IF you visit halopedia there is a timeline of the battle of reach that explains things.

So does anybody know if Bungie has responded to all the things wrong with the story, I don't mean the depth of it but the cannon destroying stuff.
