Subject: "Keep it cannon"

What does it mean?

  • 11.21.2009 6:59 PM PDT

Canon means: "To keep it within the story line"

  • 11.21.2009 7:00 PM PDT

Cannon means: "A big gun"

  • 11.21.2009 7:00 PM PDT

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

It is 'Canon'.

This means keep to the story and style set out in previous games/books/media.

It means to not go off the deep end.

Lets say in Reach, you suddenly had UNSC soldier wielding swords. That would NOT be canon.

it's a misspelling of "keep in canon". It means that you need to stay with what makes sense for the story. Meaning no human ships with shields for example.

I'm sorry, I mean like Steel Katana. That would not only be totally ineffective against the enemies, but it wouldn't fit Canon.

Yea, "non-canon" would be "Playing as te Cheeffz in REACH" like my cousin thinks will happen.

Sam is freaken dead, why won't you people understand this? Been six-feet under for 27 years during Reach!

Well, they'd be a mission before the Fall of Reach happens that will involve Sam.

No, you won't. Maybe for one small mission, but thats all. John-117 only protected a ship in space from the Covenant, then he and The Pillar of Autum fled to Halo.

Sam dies during the battle for Reach, not before it.

No dumbass, Sam dies above Ceti Chi in 2525 in a Covenant ship that gets blown up by two nuclear warheads. Read the Fall Of Reach.

No, Sam Dies before the Battle of Reach, read the book

  • 11.21.2009 7:27 PM PDT

WE ALL KNOW SAM IS DEAD! This game will be about the whole book fall of reach, not JUST the battle at reach.. sheesh

  • 11.21.2009 7:28 PM PDT

No holds bar killing!

Cannon, in this case, means within the facts of the Halo universe.
