: That would be Nylund, then. All 343i were doing in Halo 4 was fleshing out
: what was in the novels and letting us see them, which is what fans were
: often asking for...more inclusion of aspects of the extended fiction in
: the games.

Oh, so it was Nylund? Eh. While I like his novels, it's apparent that he doesn't know much about military nomenclature. Either that, or he was just throwing out numbers because he wasn't aware of how big the other Covie vessels are.

: It's my opinion too that 300m is a bit small in terms of Covenant materiel to
: be calling it a 'cruiser'. Maybe those are the ones the UNSC encountered
: most often first and the classification stuck and then they found bigger
: ones later. We still haven't seen a Covenant frigate though they've been
: mentioned and are just slightly longer than the Covenant corvette.

I think they should have just retconned the CRS class to be a patrol ship.
