"Dear Humanity; we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"

Joe Staten says:
Everything that Bungie has ever approved is canonical. But even then, certain things trump others. In order of canonical influence:
- The games rank first
- Published materials (books, comics, soundtrack liner notes etc.) rank second
- Marketing and PR materials third
Meaning that the games (CE, 2, 3, Wars, ODST, REACH) rank above the novels. So if something gets retconned in one of the games, it may be going against the old canon, but it doesn't make the game non-canon, it makes that instance from the older novel non-canon. ex. Brutes and Elites being encountered frequently before 2552.
