Yeah.

I’m not usually a stickler for canon, but it hurt extra with Halo, because Halo just has so little (compared to much older franchises like Doctor Who, Star Trek or Star Wars) canon to begin with.

It’s not like they needed to prune things or get a fresh start. There’s so much un-told story in the Halo Universe. It felt so pointless to needlessly mess with what little established canon we have.
