In Response To: Re: this (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: I'm also not implying that the Elites didn't wage ground wars against other
: foes in the past. Perhaps those foes were worthy adversaries. I'm saying
: that the novels seemed to want us to know that it was humans specifically
: that Elites were disgusted with and that's the basis of their not being
: seen on human battlefields prior to 2552.

maybe, but the games don't have that, at least not in the same way, and they never did, so saying otherwise in the books was always leading toward a conflict

: What you say was a door opened, I call a huge mess to reconcile ALL official material.

Bluerunner, and many others, don't care about that as much as having interesting stories and fun games, and having that door shut means there's a very small window where you can show human/Elite adversarial interaction in anything closer than ship battles.

: I don't pick and choose my canon. All official Halo material is
: my canon and I would appreciate it if it all fit.

: As someone who's dedicated much of his free time for 7-8 years now trying to
: do just that, the parts that don't fit are beyond frustrating.

I'd like it to all fit too, but it's not going to any more without some major retcons-- such as the one about Elites. That goes towards "fixing" the story but you don't like it, so I don't think you'll get what you want until or unless the entire series is rebooted.

You cannot fall off the floor.
