The War Game simulations are canon so I was wondering if your Spartan you play as is technically canon as well?
Everyone’s are, but at the same time, most people’s aren’t. It’s complicated.

Because they’re too weak?..Or too strong!!!

How can everyones be canon and at the same time most peoples not canon?
That would mean only SOME peoples are canon?
Wot? So how do I make one canon (aka mine)?
Yes, (I have a cannon story, and non-cannon story for my spartan) My spartan and Elite are both cannon. My spartan and Elite (along with a grunt) are all training abord the infinity. (Although the Elite needs to get the Okay from palmer if he can go into the war games simulator)
343 wants us to make these stories up, thats part of the reason multiplayer is cannon, so that we get creative. Who knows, maybe some of our stories get recognized and thrown into an expanded story or game 
(a soldier can dream can’t he?)
keep in mind that this is almost as big as star wars, therefore we have a galaxy to play with. A general rule is that unless you’re given the ability, don’t make a story that would impact the main story and you should be good. Also don’t get to crazy, keep it within the limitations of the universe.
We also have to keep in mind that 343 can’t just recognize every story, there are just simply to many people on board to do that. But it dosn’t mean we still can’t have a hand in this universe.

Ok thats what I was thinking.
So your character and their story is canon as long as it doesnt do something stupid like “my character helped Chief destroy the Halo ring”?
Also story canon is spelled as “Canon” rather then “Cannon” like on a pirate ship.

Lol, I always mess up Cannon and canon.
But yea, you could say he was on the Piller of Autumn as a marine. (Maybe, you’d have to look back and see how he could have escaped)
Also you have to respect the original characters, like you can’t say your Grunt and sgt Johnson went out for Ice cream every Tuesday and talked about soap operas. Lol (Grunts watch soap operas though btw)

There are only about 300-500+ Spartan-IVs, but millions of registered players. Individually, your Spartan is part of Fireteam Crimson (or Apollo if you ordered the lootcrate), but so is everyone else’s. We know nothing of the armor, name, gender, etc. of the 4 Spartans that comprise Crimson, so it is not false to say your armor configuration is what your conanical Spartan on Crimson wears, but the millions of others can say the same thing.
I’m guessing you want your Spartan to have a canonical backstory and lore to them that none of the other millions of players can claim as theirs and still be valid, but that is not the case. This gives you the option to create head-canon that the halo universe won’t touch, so your Spartan can do whatever they want as long as it stays in the boundary of the universe, but everyone else can also have their own head-canon.
I know this wasn’t a good explanation, but hopefully you get it.

But cant private company’s now make Spartan IVs?
If so are we sure the 300-500 Spartan IVs ALL the Spartan IVs or just UNSC Spartans?

It’s mutually exclusive dichotomy all over again!

It reminds me of a question I saw in a Canon Fodder from 2 years ago 
**“Dizzy Gyro: How does the Grunt floating across the menu screen in Halo 5 fit into the cannon?**A: Very carefully, and with a lot of grease.”
Only problem is that the characters we play as aren’t actual Spartans. They’re just UNSC Marines in the War Games simulator having fun and pretending to be Spartans. Thus, no canonical Spartans from multiplayer, just nameless cannon fodder that repeatedly die as the Guardians reload checkpoints every time actual Spartans die.
It’s a sick game the Guardians are playing.

I don’t believe so, but I’m not a hundred percent sure. Yes, it’s all of the Spartan IVs.
Pretty sure it is…
I guess technically yes, but if the UNSC had millions of Spartan-IVs (everyone in Halo 4 and 5) their wouldn’t be a problem. So maybe only the experienced, best players are canon? I mean they won’t ever have a Spartan Faze Kampy featured in a Halo game…
I don’t know.
What I’m assuming is that to your particular profile’ s universe you are canon, there is most definitely not hundreds of thousands of Spartan IV’s running around.
Assuming that War Games is basically canon so yeah, guess us Spartans are canon
Also let me tell you a little secret, come a bit closer
“When we die, then we respawn again in the War Games, we are secretly carrying these in our pack pockets”
Nope, there’s absolutely no ties to the story or timelines about “our” Spartans. It’s just 343s way to play with fire when it comes to lore and canon.

If we were to assume our Spartans are canon, this is most probably the direction we would take.
Have you ever played Destiny? If you have, this explanation would be much more easier for you to understand. In Destiny, the player has to play through the game, meet other NPCs, do quests, and experience events that only the player alone experiences; nobody else in the Destiny universe is similar to the player. However, ironically there are millions of Destiny players out there. Which means that to each and everyone of them, the person they are playing as is unique and the only one to have faced the events of the game. When the different players interact with each other online, this fact isn’t compromised because the player is supposed to canonically see the other players as just other random people who happen to be there to aid them.
So so if you apply this to Halo 5, it means that for each and every player, only their own Spartan is canon, and everyone else are random others Spartan recruits training with them. Hence, there are millions of legitimate head-canons about the lore of each person’s own Spartan, if you want to take it that way.

Yes I have played Destiny quite a bit and you explained that a lot better than I did lol.
