what if custom games and forge are too?
They are all cannon… as simulations. None of the weapon skins or armor customizations are likely available to Spartans outside of the war games, for example. However, even Forge could be looked at as a Spartan learning to program a training simulation.
I’ve always liked to think lag is canon, the explanation being a hiccup in the simulation.
Sure. The sim is recreational as well as a training exercise.
Funny you mention it… I like adding backstories and such to my forge maps. I just released a map today with a nice bit of lore to it. Search for “element” in the forums.

if a spartan lag in his wargame, he lags in real life
I’ve never seen a real cannon in multiplayer unfortunately.
For forge there is War Games map designers. That explains the Forge mode a lot easier. (though In-universe Forge might not be exactly as we see it)
And War Games is known to balance weapons(and assumed other stuff). So its not hard to believe custom games use that feature of War Games(though I imagine less crazy custom games happen in the Halo Universe, for example Podracers, and the the pancake flip probably wont happen)
Its more about what is sensible and not.
Skins might be fun to have in a simulation. But they dont effect the overall basic training. Pancake flip(or what ever its called) is really not that easy for training and thus probably isnt canon.

I think the multiplayer is the cannon.

I don’t think he knows what cannon means. He’s thinking of pirates haha

Funny and a reason to not throw your controller when it happens.

Yeah like Jenga tower trains teamwork thrusters and balance
Someone else mentioned this and said that it’s also canon that Spartans are having gender-reassignment surgeries since some players change between the male and female models.
Then would the H2 BR be known as the BR55 and the HCE Pistol be the M6D

I saw element already, it is pretty good man.
no, man is cannon. Multiplayer is canon.
and yea, forge and custom games should be considered canon. Custom games are like Spartan recreation and forge, well where do you think all of those maps come from. Those crafty monitors.
There should be a Halo lore novel that emphasizes the realities of becoming a spartan and training in the war games.
“Sir, the AR is way to OP.” -Spartan
“No spartan xXSnottyBubblesXx it is not, why not you try actually using it.” -General
“I refuse to use the AR, the pistol is way better.” -Spartan
Canon.

" well I don’t like your opinion Spartan xXSnottybubblesXx! I challenge you to a 1v1!-General. “But sir, I’d totally wreck you with the pistol, sir.”-Spartan Canon.

Spartan beats General
“Damn it xXSnottybubblesXx, what have I told you about proper tea bagging!” -Sargeant
“Sigh That you have to do it nice and slowly and actually on top of the dead body rather then 2ft away.” -Spartan
“Damn right. Don’t let it happen again!” -Sargeant
well, that escalated quickly
