CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.
TBH, that isn't as much of a canon break as just an eccentricity. Yes, the sangheili refuse to use "heretic" weapons, but that's in an actual combat situation, where they'd rather die with honor than to sink to the "heretics' level". In the circumstances you described, the covenant had total control, and it was more of a humiliation execution technique rather than actually using the said weapon in battle. In other words, just because they're described to be too prideful to ever use it in a fight, doesn't mean that they would go so far as to not even touch it.
As for the marines that were with Keyes...It is a bit peculiar, seeing as how the covenant didn't usually take prisoners, however, considering that there were other human forces on the Halo ring, it is highly likely that some of them would have been captured and was simply kept in the same holding cell as the Captain.
I copied this from where I answered your question in the other thread. Btw, the sangheili don't refuse to use human weapons because it is against their religion. They're simply too prideful to use weapons belonging to the heretics. The act of using the humans' weapons is not a heresy in itself.
On a side note, the humans are only branded as heretics because of the Prophet of Regret's meddling during the contact at Harvest.
