You realize, that in making "new cannon", they have to retcon shit themselves, right? And SPOPs is being made up as they go along...

Also, in FoR grunts are described as sounding like dogs and being untranslatable. While in FoR it may have been acceptable to have blarg-blarg-blarg speaking aliens, H4 takes place after all the other games where the UNSC had translation software and they still don't sound like fucking dogs. In fact, they sound like fucking shit. Staten wasn't the only guy who did voices for the grunts, it's not like they couldn't keep that ball rolling.
