What was Bungie's original canon policy/order, and what is 343i's new one?

Bungie: games > books > other media

343i: no canon hierarchy, everything interconnected between games and other media.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Err... "The Halo Bible"? There is a general plan of where Halo is going and whatnot. Biggest diffrence is who's manning the ship (Bungie and then 343i) and how they pull it off (gameplay mechanics, details that are not set in stone, etc.).

Just about every 343i video talking about Halo 4 where Frankie says they're removing the schism in the stories. The fact that the novels and other media are being interweaved into Halo 4. Why do you need an official word when the proof is staring you in the face?

This.

I think the lack of dichotomy might be more tolerable. H3 and Reach give me nightmares.

Sure Chief could have gotten lost in 04's Library but Floodified High Charity is just bs. Not to mention the Cortana and Gravemind moments. *shudders*

As for Reach, Emile, he's just... words can't describe how much he hasn't contributed.

Waypoint Moderators aren't really Moderators, just power hungry and its goal is defend their beloved Halo at all costs. (Meaning that they wank Halo too much.)

BS Angel is alleged foe so, be wary of Waypoint and its moderators! Do not attempt to move to Waypoint. Enter your own risk.

*WARNING* IT IS MY OPINION.

They say NOPE. So, that's why we need a proof for that.

Yeah but they still do something in the cutscenes.

The proper and true Halo Canon policy is not a list of arbitrary and dogmatic assertions about a list of video games and books, it is not something that depends on Intellectual Property and Copyright laws (laws that would falsely portray 343 Industries as an authority on canon), and it is not predicated on the subjective whims of fans who enjoy to "pick and choose" what is canon by the standard of hedonic value...

Rather, the true Halo Canon policy is one that selects, by universal, absolute, and methodical process, those canonical artifacts which faithfully portray the true Halo Canon in accordance with its established identity. Yes, imperfect people like us must apply this process to imperfect artifacts, but that is the reality of the process. I have written extensively about this and you can read more here if you'd like, but let me put it into more digestible terms:

-Copyright laws do not enable any company to dictate the canon policy of an established canon without restraint
-The Halo Trilogy is the most accurate, faithful, and canonical artifact
-The presentation of the Halo story ends with Halo 3; that is the end of the canon.
-Bungie et al. may publish their own canon policies and rankings, but these serve only as statements on behalf of the canonical authors about the intended message of their creations - you must pay attention to these statements, but also remove yourself from them and pursue a more holistic and logical canonical analysis from a neutral point-of-view. This was rarely if ever a problem in the era of Bungie Halo games.

Well there are indeed many interviews where 343 confirms the two are the same now.

Gonna search for them.

You might ask on HBO as well as these guys have an archive of all Halo news and sources, i'm sure one of them will have more sources.
