In Response To: Re: Spartan analysis *GoO spoiler near end of post (General Vagueness) : I just realized what I want from this game. Just maybe they'll take some of : those typically unrealistic things and make them more realistic. In : particular, Halo Wars could set itself apart (I think) by at least having : realistic sniping, which really made its mark on the first three games. (I : know it's saved my life many times, and also ended it-- dang jackal : snipers.) Instant death shots to the toes FTW. Anyway, I too share your concerns for Halo Wars place in Halo canon. I think we can let some things slide, however. This game doesn't really seem to be very canoninonical (is that a word?) anyway. Humans don't really come into contact with Forerunner structures until around the time of Halo: CE, and yet they are all over the place in the game. No Spartan we know of has encountered Forerunner tech until CE anyway. The Cyclops unit could have been explained as a Mark 1 - 3 but those were slow and inefficient on the battlefield, mostly good just for being walking machine guns, while the Cyclops seems to be a vehicle smashing monstrosity. This game looks fun but I think we can safely place it in an "alternate" Haloverse, with some elements that could be worked into the greater Halo canon.
