Bungie has in fact been rewriting the Fall of Reach book and has even released that when it comes to the story of the Halo universe, the Game's are considered the be canon over the books. I'm surprised you didn't bring up the biggest mistakes such as Cortana's creation and the fact that the Pillar of Autumn is on the Surface rather then in Orbit.Dectomax said:Noble team where Spartan III's.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a serious note, I believe him to be dead. In one of the books ( Can't remember off the top of my head ) Halsey meet's with a team of Spartan II's, with no mention of Jun. This is after Reach.
Also, Halsey shouldn't even know about the III's, because again, she didn't find out about them till Ghosts of Onyx. The Spartan III program was commissioned by Colonel Ackerson[sp] in secret by Oni.
READ GHOSTS OF ONYX.
In terms of canon, game overules books. ( Since that was the starting product. ) So, maybe they just decided to kill basic halo canon, which many people related too?
Either way, the Spartan III's should be around 11 or in carters case, 17. Meaning the "Hardcore" Saviours of Reach are still kids.
I may have made a few mistakes, it's 3:28am, so I don't really know what I'm typing to be fair.

I was just making the point for the character. I was disappointed by Reach's destruction of the books, they were very well written.
Also if you'll see:[Qoute]In terms of canon, game overules books. ( Since that was the starting product. ) So, maybe they just decided to kill basic halo canon, which many people related too?
Even if game canon did trump those of the books, it still wouldn't make sense. Same for Halo Wars.maddawg IAJI said:Reach is Canon though. Not sure about Wars, but Bungie has said over and over again, the Game Canon trumps those of the books. Bungie has even announced that they will release a rewritten version of the Fall of Reach to make sense. I don't understand how the Developers' game, the same developers who made the universe to begin with, can't be considered canon.
