Does anyone else refuse to accept the Halo:Reach story as canon?
I remember I first read Eric Nylund's The Fall of Reach when I was about 7. I remember being in love with that story, even though I didn't even entirely understand a lot of it. Since then I have read the book COUNTLESS times. Now I can recognize that the writing style and general mechanics aren't all that impressive, and some parts that could be amazing with more details and elaboration, but the story itself is amazing. When Halo Reach came out, the entire battle is on a much smaller scale, and simply doesn't feel as good. I understand that Nylund's version wouldn't make for much of a campaign, but at least the story is excellent. The Reach campaign just moves around too much and I can't seem to get myself to enjoy it.
I have heard that the events of a video game override books in terms of what is canon, but I can't bring myself to accept the game's story. Does anyone else feel this way?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazyHUNTER 95 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cmdr DaeFaron 1+2: If you bother to read that letter they released before the game came out... Kurt and Mendez are talking about pulling out some of the best Spartan 3's from the main company before the suicide mission. These Spartans also were outfitted 'properly'. Aka, MJOLNIR. 3: First line has no bearing at all, you can have an older, highly experienced Sergeant serving under an officer who just came out of the academy. Kurt also cared for others under his command and was friendly, are you saying he makes no sense too? Um... why the hell wouldn't the UNSC understand MJOLNIR? his armor is described as the variant which acted as the test-bed for shielding tech. And Erran there covers the promotion part.[/quote] MJOLNIR isn't understood very well by the UNSC. It's borrowed tech based off of the elites shielding. The fact that Jorge who is a Spartan and not a scientist could figure out how to modify his armor is absolutely far-fetched. Spartan II's were given far superior training which should make him the leader of Noble team. [/quote] 1. were you high? what sense does it make that the UNSC wouldn't understand something they created? The shielding is based off the jackals energy gauntlet, someone needs to read the books again. 2.So you are telling me it is far fetched that jorge knows how to operate the armor he has been wearing for over 20 years? Yeah, that doesn't make sense whatsoever like a welder not knowing how to set up his machines because he isn't a mechanic.
