Halo as multi medium franchise is vulnerable to inconsistency like other franchises. When you see cutscenes from games and compare them to description from novels, you wonder why they look and perform so differently. Do you think Halo has fewer issues with inconsistency compared to other sci-fi franchises such as Mass Effect, Starcraft and Starwars? I am not sure about first two, but Starwars seem to have way greater discrepancy between the movies and EU. At least in Halo, the very first game emphasize galactic life wiping. But Starwars showed crazy feats and power in EU. I guess that is why EU was declared non canon.
Any EU is going to be littered with discrepancies, but I don’t know too much of the others you mentioned to make a just comparison.
Well it is hard to organize with all the authors writing with their own vision. There is still Halo Bible handed from Bungie to 343i right? I believe that book has all the set in universe rule for all the authors to follow although authors like Traviss do poor job following the rule.

Yes, I believe 343i has the “Halo Bible,” and some authors take more freedom than others, unfortunately.
