Normally I wouldn't care about this but this actually has a consitency issue.

At the end of Season 5, the "Great War" between aliens and humans was still apparently going on, as it was Tex's reason to go with O'Malley. Which was after Freelancer started, but before the events of Halo 3. By the time of Recreation, the war had reached the point where the aliens had sided with the humans. Not sure where the RvB timeline is now in relation to Halo's (or if it even matters, because it probably doesn't), but regardless, all of RvB so far (aside from maybe S11 but there's really no way to tell) has taken place BEFORE Halo 4, not after.

Why did you think all the freelancer backstory scenes had Halo 2 Mark VI armor styles?
