I'll dumb it down a bit.
Future goes to Past.
Past events occur because of Future.
Past becomes Present.
Present becomes Future.
Future goes to past.
One word : Paradox.
(I had a longer post, but i lost internet and lost it, so, this'll do.)
See, if all Halo's events happened because of Master Chief going back in time (Hell, i'm not saying he directly caused them.), then we wouldn't know, cause that's canon. And if history repeats it'self, Chief will continuously go back in time, causing these events to happen continuously. Sure, it's confusing, but also simple.
The only problem with this is that canon already exists. To imply that MC went back at some point in time and altered the past to play out as we know it is to change canon. There has never been any mention of an exploit by any Spartan outside of the origional Spartan II class. MC wouldn't just go into the past and operate under another identity, this is not a movie.
Consider also how Cortana would view something like this, having the knowledge she has after the events of Halo3. She would not sit idle, she would come forward and turn the tide. The idea of time travel, no matter how it is implement is flawed and not to mention it is a weak method to tell a story.
As it has been said by many, and myself on several of these threads, time travel does not fit into the Halo universe, even the writer of the better novels agrees with that notion.Couldn't have said it better myself, TRIX.
