In Response To: Re: Nope. (General Vagueness)


: Well then they weren't paying attention. Reach was mentioned in the manual
: for the first Halo, both manuals for Halo 2, it was in combat dialogue for
: Halo 2 ("That's for Reach!"), and I'm willing to bet there was a
: reference or two in Halo 3 too, and I know it's mentioned in ODST, I just
: don't know to what degree. If you want to know about Reach in detail you'd
: have to read at least one book but the games and manuals tell you it's a
: human colony "on Earth's doorstep" that got... really messed up.

That's the entire point. Its barely mentioned and certainly not detailed in-game. Its little more than a word which has almost no significance unless you've looked at material outside of the game.
The games don't tell you that it was the UNSC's fortress world, the main stronghold for humans military forces. The closest you really get is the glimpse of it in the Halo 2 opening.
