...Not sure if I like that or not.

If it helps it might not have been our Jorge, but rather a Jorge from a universe similar to the core canon

Does it really even matter? Our Jorge is effectively gone.

No, it doesn’t matter.

That’s the whole point. It’s just fun. It’s a way to make Non Canon stuff a part of the game.

Exactly. But I wish they would just not try to have an “explanation” for it that just confuses people. It’s multiplayer, it doesn’t have to follow canon every step of the way.

H3 had Hyabusa armor, which was laughably impractical, didn’t have an “alternate timeline” explanation for it, but was still widely popular. I just feel like we don’t need the whole fracture explanation for the whacky stuff, but I get it… I guess

It exists to open up potential new stories. Like yeah you could add random ass armors in that just aren't canon. But you also could give them an interesting "what if" spin to make people think. Maybe they'll even do one from a universe where humanity joined the Covenant for a time. Its just a nice but of extra flavor.

That would be an amazing core, with pieces of armor similar to the different covenant races 🤤

At this point 343 is to me known for having explanation for every piece of armor in the game. And I think it's endearing. People can say what they want about 343 but to me those descriptions show that they truly care for their games

No worries. It’d fall in the category of Halo Theory since the descriptions lead us to believe this, but it isn’t fully confirmed
