Subject: Question about RvB

About my name: For those of you that don't know what an ambigram is, it is a special styling of a word that allows it to be read as the same or a different word upside down. And not how MOM turns into WOW when upside down (though I suppose that technically works), but more like this.

Is the Red vs Blue story considered to be canon? I just watched all 8 seasons, and was wondering if the things inside of them, like the Freelancer Project, were canon.

Simply, no. There are lots of crazy things in RvB that would fit in no-where in the Halo universe. Such as time travel and the Freelancer project, though described as a counter-part to the SPARTAN project and another path to super soldiers, is very unethical in it's training methods and wouldn't be used by the UNSC. Also, they meet Elites, yet they don't even recognize them, simply calling them 'Aliens'. Some parts of its are related to Halo, like the UNSC and mentions of the war. But overall it wouldn't be considered canon.

Okay, cool. Thanks for making that clear.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

The best way to describe it is that Halo is canon in Red vs Blue, but Red vs Blue is not canon in Halo.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Yes. In fact I consider it more canon than some things that are officially canon.

Nope. While I think its supposed to be set after the games its not canon. Although with some tweaking we might be able to work something out like Project Freelancer being the Armies low budget Spartan project ripoff or something.
