The cadets have no idea who chief is or what the covenant are. When Chief is meant to be a huge war hero from 3 and every human alive should know about the war? Am i being stupid and missing something
Becuase Forward Unto Dawn takes place before the Human Covie war...hence all the cadets were talking about fighting the Insurrectionists and not the Covie. Spartans were top secret when the Covie showed up, MC and the other spartans were not known about. At this point MC was not a war hero. Heck Reach hadnt even fallen yet at this point. The only thing that has happened so far was Contact Harvest and the introduction of the Cole Protocol...the Covie a new threat toHumanity in FUD.
FUD just ties together Lasky and MC becuase they are both in Halo 4. FUD takes place before Halo Reach, which takes place before Halo CE etc.

anyway...
Forward unto Dawn is set before the Halo Trilogy and even Reach for that matter ( I believe it's 25-30 years before the games or so? ). The Spartan's and even the covenant were being held secret at this point by ONI? and this is also one of the very first ( not THE first, but one of ) the first encounters Humans have with the covenant.
Also, to clear the confusion, when we see the parts with Cortana talking/arguing/debating with herself in the beginning of these videos, only that is associated with Halo 4. There's another Character but perhaps that may be spoiler-ish.
Master Chief is like 14 or 15 years old in this FUD series ( funny, right? ) and we also may get to see his original team and his close friend, the other Spartan II's, Linda, Kelly? and Fred. Maybe.
So yeah, Forward Unto Dawn is before any Halo events that occur in the games we play.
I think the timelime is something liiiike,
Forward Unto Dawn,
Halo Wars? I'm not sure about this game, sorry
Halo Reach,
Halo Combat evolved/anniversary,
Halo 2,
Halo 3
Halo 4?
Edit ;- Tallgeese ninja'd me D: and I'm sure someone else can clear this up for you, and even me if I'm drastically wrong on my post.

You need to put Cryptum and Primordium at the top. The Flood next to Halo CE, then First Strike, then Ghosts of Onyx. Halo 3 ODST needs to be in between Halo 2 and 3 and then it's complete.here is a quick timeline (rough of course)

Yeah, FuD takes place before the public knew about the Chief and the Spartans. So they would probably be a little freaked by a 7ft 2 supersoldier coming to save there butts.......Also, Episode 5 comes on tonight at 8PM Australian Time
I am MasterChief!!!!! lolz

ALso may i say how well FuD is done. It has the potential to even be called the First Halo movie.
I think that is why M$ has started talking about funding a full length live action Halo movie...FUD is doing so well and shows the potential Halo has as a movie

The lack of knowledge of the Covenant and their ages seem to suggest it was soon after the Battle of Chi Ceti which took place in 2525. So I'm guessing FuD takes place in 2526 somewhere. And If I'm not mistaken The Cole Protocol was enacted sometime in 2531. So the book had to have taken sometime after this.
Also I'm not sure when but ghosts of onyx is after Halo CE at least how I consider it.. And glasslands is after Halo 3.
The Shoutbox can't even handle me right now.

Shouldn't Glasslands be AFTER Halo 3? The war ended in that book as I recall as Halsey and the next gen of Spartains were hiding out. And thats when she was arrested by UNSC or Oni, I don't recall which.
