I dont see Halo Wars as canon at all. None of it followed what had already been written or done. Its just another non-memorable game to me.
Good for you, but unfortunately no one here cares for your "personal canon". Although would you care to elaborate on the precise ways in which it strays away from established canon?
On topic:
I think that the action of the structures rising up out of the ground is just a gameplay quirk. There are many advantages of having your structures underground rather than above ground that I can think of, the main one being invulnerability to air bombardment. Use of vehicles to pound these structures would be taken from the attackers as well. Basically, it would be difficult to destroy them. If the UNSC really did build structures underground first then it seems a bit silly to raise them up out into full view where they can be attacked. So they are likely already built on the surface
I dont know what he/she ment by not following the rest of the series, but the way to get into the sheild world, and the sheild world itself do not follow the description in the Ghosts of Onyx. In the book, the entrance was a one way slipspace portal, and the world itself was a sperical world, not inside of the other world
Shield worlds can be built differently. Maybe the one accessed from Onyx was more important and therefore more secure. Besides, the shield world in Wars was compromised by the flood, leaving some of its security systems damaged I would guess. But the general structure of those two was the same, inside a sphere.
