Why do people forget Fall of Reach released BEFORE Halo 1? (Destiny)

You can't even say that we didn't have information on the Covenant races before Halo 1, because we clearly did. Arguably about as much as we do about these Destiny races. Easily the equivalent of a couple of paragraphs here and there.

Fall of Reach only gave us two things about the Covenant that the game didn't:

1. Our destruction was the will of their gods.
2. A basic understanding of their hierarchy in the form of showing the expendability of lower classes.

Everything else was vague, or didn't flesh out anything that a quick glance in the game didn't. That's what made them truly alien. You have way more info on each race and their motivations in Destiny...
