Re: Should Gameplay be considered Canon?

In Response To: Re: Should Gameplay be considered Canon? (Narcogen)


You ended in a wonderful statement IMO:

: From this
: perspective, differences between the games are not contradictions, they
: are increasingly accurate approximations.

I feel like the entirety of Halo canon is not and possibly never was, except at its primary inception (since you probably shouldn't make a game that contradicts itself, but after that, the suspension of disbelief can probably be stretched a bit more) meant to be concrete and specific.

It's more vague than a true reality, especially now, with different mediums, and a vastly growing cast of different creators and talents. I think you have to view all of Halo cannon through a slightly blurry lens where each entry attempts to give something new to us, and though it may seem to not perfectly line up with everything else, its because its just one lens, one specific perspective... Just like two people at different spots in a room sees the same object in a different way.

Hope that wishy-washy line made sense or actually said something new - if it didn't, just pretend. ;)
