Well watching that trailer and seeing that image...RIP Halo canon, I knew ye well. (or so I thought)
Thankfully I can still play Halo 1 and read the books...plus I can grimace through Halo 2, 3, and ODST.
The notion that it's Bungie's game and they can fuck whatever part of the canon they want? Check, they sure can, but they're still fucking it.
If Lucas suddenly released a new movie that affirmed Darth Vader was actually Obi-Wan Kenobi's son and that Luke is actually Vader's cousin would be ridiculous. It would also become canon, and nobody would like it. Only reason Bungie can get away with it is that their games are now marketed for a new crowd, young players who don't give two shits about a game's story and instead like to shoot people while yelling at them over Live!.
