You mean that in Halo 3 a few Hunters went against the Elites. Know your lore - Hunters are loyal to Elites. I hate how they fucked that up in H3, even though it makes for some pretty good battles, and allows Scarabs to still remain as active enemies.

The Hunters in Halo 2 that helped you were part of the separatists. Some Hunters and Grunts went to the separatists, the rest stayed with the Covenant.
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
I think I'd like to see elites and brutes working together (like how CMT did it). For me, it's no question which enemy is harder to kill. Its just so easy to get around behind a brute and take him out. The elites in halo 3 (when betrayed) were really difficult to kill, and in halo 2 their one hit kill melee made them lethal up close, wheras brutes could easily be tricked into flinging themselves off cliffs. I think it would be best to have elites be more common, and brutes show up every now and then operating artillery, or manning a turret or fuel rod cannon. Gravity hammer brutes are pointlessly easy, all you have to do is jump, spin 180 degrees, press the B button and the lunge takes care of the rest. Sword elites should remain the "ohshitihavetofightthisguy" enemy, and should be buffed so that you cant stick them.

Bullshit.
The Hunters with the separatists are the ones who stayed, whereas the ones with the Loyalists are the traitors, and only chose to side with the Brutes and Prophets out of fear for their homeworld. With the fall of the Covenant, the all of the Hunters would without a doubt realign with the Elites.
Again, know your lore.
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
Bungie made the canon, therefore, anything Bungie does in the story is canon.
I dont see how people think it can break canon.
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
Bungie is not an author. The company is not a single entity, and did not personally write anything. Writers were hired to develop the canon, and other writers subsequently payed little regard to the established canon and altered it to the point of discrepancy.
It's all fine and good to say "it's theirs, they can do what they want with it", but by adopting that opinion, you must also recognize and submit to the fact that the story is poorly managed, and poorly written.
So, unless there's any other concise, double-sided view on the matter, I think that should put to rest the argument of "Bungie can do what they want".

Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
Next person(s) to bitch about canon gets be quietted. This thread has had enough pro/anti canon wars. The game is coming; deal with it.
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
Oh snap, I didn't realize that argument was already made since they were still whining about broken canon. My bad.

This. Bitching isn't going to change anything about the game.
