| Re: Number of Colonies and Contact: Harvest | |

In Response To: Re: Number of Colonies and Contact: Harvest (Bry) Hey Folks, Bry has hit the nail on the head: : Halo 'canon' can quite easily be viewed in a similar way as the kind of canon
Everything that Bungie has ever approved is canonical. But even then, certain things trump others. In order of canonical influence: - The games rank first
And there's one codicil: the more recent items trump the older ones. So, for example, if some aspect of Halo 3's fiction contradicted Halo 2's, Halo 3's would be the gold standard. Bungie doesn't like to retcon (i.e., deliberately change previously established facts), but sometimes it's necessary. Take for example the issue of the number of human worlds. The truth about the "800+" number? That was made up by a non-Bungie employee and never approved by us before the Halo: CE promotional website went live. As for some of the other issues raised, chiefly Jenkins' age and UNSC foot-dragging on fielding the BR55? I will only say that some marines have spent a very long time in cryo-sleep and that putting an entirely new weapon into service during a war -- especially a war that spans multiple star systems -- is no small order. That being said, I'm constantly impressed by how close attention you all pay to the details. Don't ever stop keeping us honest! And we'll do our best to keep you reliably entertained :-) - Joseph
