: Oh, give me a break. This is getting stupid. You're mad because you have to
: read the Journal in order to reconcile what's in the first book? Either
: ignore the books altogether (in which case Reach makes fine sense on its
: own - the only problems are reconciling what you learned in older books
: with what happened in-game) or accept that there might be useful
: (important) info in ANY book. You don't get to pick and choose WHICH books
: you can read and know how it all fits together.
Yeah that's pretty silly. I think people are taking issue with the kind of cop-out band-aid solution more than anything else.

"You are Forerunner!" -343GS
Oops, scratch that! He's just rampant. :X
: tl;dr: The games are internally consistent. The universe is ALMOST internally
: consistent. Mixing the first with PART of the second leads to confusion.
IIIIIIIII wouldn't say almost.
