In Response To: Re: Halo Wars: Cinematic from GameTrailers (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : It's not so much the 'impossible to believe' aspect, as the evidence that : supports that the Elites showed themselves late in the war. When you think about it that evidence is pretty much limited exclusively to FoR though isn't it?
Just to further the point, First Strike was also described as the first contact with the Brutes and we know that isn't true. (pg 310: "Also be advised, Chief, that there are ceremonial guards in this temple-a race we have not encountered before, Roughly translated from Covenant dialects, they are called 'Brutes'. They shouldn't be a significant threat or they would have been used in previous military situations.)
We already mentioned the entire system described in FoR for human artificial gravity through rotating sections and what-have-you seems to have been completely dismissed in Contact Harvest as well and its never fit in with the games as we've seen them either.
There was also the HGN (again, newer) which seemed to indicate that the Elites, specifically Rtas, had first hand experience with human behaviours. ("This does not look like a human attack. Barbaric as they are, I have never seen them do something like this.") The Halo canon is flexible, it has to be.
Basically, I just want to say we can't be too afraid of the possibility of a retcon here and there, or driving ourselves too far in trying to come overcomplicate things trying to explain why they haven't actually pulled a retcon. Look at what the Force Unleashed just did to Star Wars fans. Like Joe Staten said right here in November:
: - The games rank first
: And there's one codicil: the more recent items trump the older ones.
: Bungie doesn't like to retcon (i.e., deliberately change previously
...geez, I really shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard should I...
