"The Covenant are on Reach. I repeat, the Covenant are on Reach."

That's not bad writing as much as it is bad line delivery. The line itself if fine.

*Door that's obviously been wrecked by an explosion* "Analyzing. This door has been damaged by an explosion"

Cortana's dialogue in CE was filled with terrible lines.

The lines you stated could have easily been made not as shitty by their delivery as well. I bet if Miranda had ripped an assault rifle out of some marine's hands and loaded it up while she delivered "To war" in a more convincing tone, it'd have been just fine.

It wouldn't though.
It'd still be a ridiculous answer to a legitimate and important tactical question.
Plus she just walks back down the steps after she says that anyway.

Would it help if instead she changed direction and went with the marines?

If i'm not mistaken, chief was onboard the ship for a while between Halo 2 and 3 trying to fight his way to Truth and he only jumped out because he was making no progress and Truth was finaly landing.

I'm actually interested in what happened. Is there a book or something that explains this?

How long do you reckon it took Truth's ship to breach atmosphere?

Looks like it exited slipspace just beyond the moon, so Chief was fucking around on that ship for a few hours? Days?

I'm not sure. Lemon probably knows but I do know that during that time ODSTs legendary ending happened and Rtas glassed the second Halo ring

Truth stayed out of Eaths orbit for a while trying to deal with Chief.

Literally any line in Destiny.
Just about all of Cortana's dialogue in CE.

Two weeks.

The time span between Halo 2 and Halo 3 was two weeks.

He's asking how long it took Truth to get from orbit to ground. It takes 30 minutes for the space shuttle to get from orbit to the ground so if say it took Truth about an hour.
