I don't think the game is following canon but I'm fine with it. It's other people that take it too seriously.

 Well, i figure if you're going to make a game based on someone else's idea, at least follow that idea.  When they don't follow canon, it makes me think they just want to ship out a halo themed RTS because they know Halo sells, not necessarily a good addition to the halo story.
