what a time to be alive.
In the novel it states that the Covenant found reach by placing a tracker on Keye's Ship, the Iroquois (end of chapter 23). So do games have priority over lore stuff or are there just 2 canonical but different explanations for it
Halo Infinite supposedly gives a hint that (just like many fans wanted) 6 survived
I agree with the coolest cutscene
FFF 😔
I read the Fall of Reach Book by Eric Nylund before the game was released. I was horrified by the changes it made to the existing lore. The game did not represent the powerful orbital defences and told the story through Spartan IIIs instead of Spartan IIs. Anyone who has also read Ghost of Onyx will also know how the game butchered that book too. The Covenant would not be able to "infiltrate" the planet without detection and only landed AFTER a near suicidal charge at a Mac platform in space that allowed them to drop land forces. The game and book lore are not compatible.
As much as the game was good, and I like the characters in it, the book account was better. You can't change my mind. The game and Halo universe suffered for the conflicting story.
F for the UNSC Savannah.
Don't know why, but it was a gut punch when the ship went down during Long Night of Solace.
I reloaded to try and kill the gunners faster, but it's scripted.
They give up their slipspace drive to act as a bomb and then act as an escort and distraction until they got blown to bits. Rip to the crew.
Not even ONI can rival the shitstorm that is ASIS
The Fall of Reach novel indicates the Covenant found Reach via slipspace crystal attached to the Pillar of Autumn. Of course, both scenarios could have happened simultaneously.

The planet broke before the guard did!!
To save our mother Earth from any alien attack
From vicious giant insects who have once again come back
We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack
The EDF deploys!
Our soldiers are prepared for any alien threats
The navy launches ships, the air force send their jets
And nothing can withstand our fixed bayonets
The EDF deploys!
Our forces have now dwindled and we pull back to regroup
The enemy has multiplied and formed a massive group
We better beat these bugs before we're all turned to soup
The EDF deploys!
F for the big man
Man, at this point I think he kinda like Halo. Idk tho
I remember Armageddon.
Reach definitely was the end of Halo proper. What I think the post reach games were never really able to grasp was the general gravitas and tone. It isn’t a sci fi series that concerns itself heavily with lore. Yes the lore is there to be investigated, but, like you said, this is a sci fi war story, not a sci fi story.
I’ve never laughed harder watching a video about my own species getting hopelessly destroyed by aliens
While it is stated nowher , the funniest bit I think about last stand is that the Covenent could have just left and glass noble 6 along the planet from orbit, but I'm sure the Elite were like " let's sword this dude" and backslapped any Kigyar proposing the idea of nuking him from orbit
