* {{Narm}}: The novel outright says that the battle of Sigma Octanus IV (which occurs shortly before Reach) is the first time the UNSC encounters the Hunters, and the first time they encounter Elites is ''during the Fall of Reach itself'', meaning that for 27 years humanity has been fighting legions of ''[[TheGoomba Grunts]]'', and that somehow the Covenant didn't feel like deploying their EliteMooks into battle. This was quickly [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] by subsequent expanded universe material.

*** It's worth noting that in the Halo 'verse, Covenant ships regularly destroy superior numbers of UNSC ships. Keyes himself notes that it would normally take ''seven'' UNSC destroyers to take on the four Covenant ships. He's in a lone destroyer that is smaller, undergunned, and slower than ''each'' of the four Covenant ships, and he still wins.
