: It gives some context on how Regret managed to stumble upon Earth and not
: know it was humanity's home world. The Fall of Reach explained how the
: Covenant found Reach, but until now it was never shown how Earth was
: discovered.

: The bad part was Linda's armor. Like I said in my other post in this thread,
: the Spartan-IIs used to all have identical suits of Mark-V armor at this
: point, and while this is still the case in some material in others the
: Spartans are shown with each having unique armor. The lack of visual
: consistency is aggravating. It's a peeve of mine, the psychological
: equivalent of nails raking across a chalkboard.

Armor inconsistency is my biggest, fattest, pet peeve of Halo, and it just keeps being fed. Legends, Forward Unto Dawn, and other bits and pieces, ai yai yai. (Oddly, the Chief's armor change from H3 to H4 being attributed to nanotechnology & Cortana is fine with me)

Spoiler tag for those who haven't read Escalation, or a summary of it anyway.

Fred and Kelly having their Next Gen armor from Escalation/2558 is a load of toss.
