EDIT: This post was supposed to be satirical. Thanks everyone for the funny comments tho
Halo 5 is killing the Halo lore. Now the story is one thing, but that’s a whole other thread. Can we take some time to notice how now, thanks to Halo 5, additions to the Halo lore include a standard-issue pepperoni pizza Assault Rifle, a french fries Magnum, and weapon and armor sets branded with logos and teams for a video game tournament from 2016 (542 years before the events of Halo 5). I’m really glad the UNSC found their bearings and created these very realistic and logical additions to their armories. I hope these positively affect the UNSC and Halo’s lore for years to come. rolls eyes

Well that’s an interesting way to look at it. The multiplayer is canon so we may see this in more halo lore stuff unfortunately… and that canon matchmaking crap at first was an excuse to get rid of elites.
I think you are being too literal in your interpretation of what is canon and what is not.
The war-games are canon, warzone is canon and REQ’s are canon, indeed. However, not every element of multiplayer can be canon. There are more people playing Halo 5 than there could possibly be Spartans in the Halo Universe, so customisation such as armour and weapon skins should’t be considered canon. Also, a lot of players change armour constantly, there’s no way the UNSC would allow a spartan to do this in universe.
Wouldn’t you throw a little fun into the mix if you were doing the training? Just like we do now, there needs to be a little comedic relief to help everyone grow together as a team. As far as the HCS skin, it’s throwback Thursday.
Considering that the multiplayer is canonically a simulation, it doesn’t really hurt the lore with its goofiness of weapons and skins. We’re not going to see Master Chief in Halo 6 fighting Covenant or Prometheans with an Optic Gaming Assault Rifle skin in the game’s reality.

What about the katana in halo 3? I doubt anyone would wear that into battle as well

But when Halo Reach adds confetti when you die or hearts flying around you, no one bats an eye and Bungie is the best team ever because of customization.
Ohh, the horror. The Halo universe is forever ruined because of a pizza skin. You shouldn’t take things like this so seriously and not everything should be lore based in multiplayer.

Minority take here, but I don’t care about lore, tv, comic books, novels, movies, series or anything else other than the Halo Games. Halo games are the only Halo of importance to me.
