Sgt Johnson has a Battle Rifle ?

Johnson's squad
Anyone here think the Sarge's squad might be Mendoza, Jenkins, Chips Dubbo, and Bisenti? They have some history with the Sarge, and this would be a good novel to include them in.--66.212.1.66 20:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Not likely. Harvest was glassed in 2525. That means that Mendoza, Jenkins, Chips and Bisente would have to be in their fifties duing Halo 1 to have been there. Since they're all PFCs, it doesn't seem likely. Besides, they sound like they're in their twenties. -The Dark Lord Azathoth 13:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

2524?
Ok, it says here that Harvest was attacked by the Covenant in 2524. On the official Bungie Timeline it says that contact with Harvest was lost in 2525. Which one is it?
 * Maybe Harvest was attacked late in 2524 and fell later in 2525. Or maybe they held out for a very long time before Harvest finally fell and got glassed. -Janitor 13:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Insurrection
Which insurrection (civil war) is the novel covering? I haven't heard about any civil war taking place during the fall of Harvest.

There was a rebel govenor on Harvest before the Covenant invasion, the rebel was killed during OPERATION: KALIEDOSCOPE by none other than Johnson himself. --Ajax 013 11:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The Insurrection itself is the civil war fought by the UNSC against the rebels on all planets, btw, are we sure that guy on pg. 122 is Johnson? could just be another black soldier with a sniper rifle... -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 22:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

release (?)
During a very brief stint working at a bookshop, i discovered that the particular store will be able to order Contact Harvest on the 16th of October. No verifiable sources, and no assurances that this is its release date. But i hope its true.  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  22:23, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Possible Cover Error
I know it was already stated but nobody has replied. So here it is. Why does Jhonson have a battle rifle? They were developed way after harvest. Shouldn't he have an assault rifle?

It has never been stated that the battle rifle was constructed circa Halo 2, in fact, it could've been made dozens of years before Harvest -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 22:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

true. but i thought Dr.Hasley gave the battle rifle to the spartens with new armor and weapons in First Strike

It was there first encounter with it but Joe Stanten confirmed that is an earleir iteration of the BR55 used by Sarge. Due to Slipspace and the longevity of guns, it could of easily been used for over 25 years before hand. --Ajax 013 22:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Colonial Militia Trainees
I've never heard of the colonial militia in Halo. Anyone know anything about the colonial militia trainees on Harvest?

I imagine there something similar to the TA in the UK or the Home Gaurd in the US, 'weekend warriors' --Ajax 013 17:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
