Well, I'd like to know if they outwiegh the books, cause, in the books, a Ranger Elite's shield can deflect 5 sniper rounds. And an average Elite's can't. Also, int eh books, MC's shield is significantly stronger than the average Elite's... So, which outweighs the other canon-wise?

They are official cannon but I don't know where the link is to the person that said it though...

Its like holding onto an electric fence, and complaining that it hurts, yet you still do it. See the stupidity now?

Yes And No.. The books contain many important story points that flesh out the Halo universe, But bungie can choose to disregard some of the stuff (possibilities they've mentioned so far are other Spartans and Johnsons immunity) if they need to...

Shiska put it nicely when he said that The Books are inspired by the Game not the other way round... at least i think it was Shiska...

I don't think the books say that they're canon, but there was somewhere on the Internet that did.

Shishka said so. Anything in the books that would lead you to believe to effect Halo 3 is canon. Such as existing Spartans, and so on.
