I'm not saying that the books are not canon,I enjoyed "Ghosts of Onyx" and "The Cole Protocal",what I am saying is that Bungie can and will,if need be,change the canon of Halo.Remember games rank first and most people have not read all or if any of the books,so Bungie made all the players(those who did read the books and those who didn't) able to understand the games.Agreeing that books are canon, then saying that Bungie can and does change canon at their discretion effectively makes books non-canon.
Because they now have details in them that cannot change without a re-release that we have to pay money for. Thus, why we don't like canon changes. Also because, while we get good, hard-worked-for stuff out of it (Reach), it is lazy from a story-telling point, because they haven't looked for a way to make it fit with established canon, they've disregarded it entirely and made it its own canon.
They then said "it's our last Halo game" which got half the people going "aaaw, don't hate on Bungie for making canon errors, when we would have gone sick at 343 long ago".
They also used the excuse 'games>books, New>old' which was NEVER INTENDED to be used for the massive retcons it has been used for, just for a minor inconsistency.
Most interesting idea I've seen is that we say that Reach is a game actually in the Haloverse, and is made by ONI Section Two (Propaganda), and is meant to make the Fall of Reach seem much more hard-fought and valiant than the two-hour obliterative sneak attack that it was.
Quite a good, and even plausible idea, actually.
