If you want an excuse; it's because the Domain was wiped of any and all information when the Halos fired. If you want the actual reason... the current writing team at 343 has no idea what the fuck they're doing.
Okay okay all I really know of Halo Wars is some trailers of the second game.
Why the fuck is the main female character Asian in the first game, and white in the second?
She still looks asian to me

Except, you know, she looked completely different
They all look completely different.
They based them off their actors this time around for the cutscenes.
I'm of the opinion that since 343 took the reins of the halo universe, everything that has occurred takes place in an alternate universe, helps to explain some the questionable decisions they have made.
Also the Domain had a precursor AI, Abaddon, which acted as an overseer to the Domain, following the events of the Halo Array it was destroyed and the domain began to heal itself, with a forerunner being used a template for the new domain. Do you think this is why Cortana refers to the domain as being forerunner? Also do we think 343 will actually bring in this forerunner "Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change" in Halo 6?
also basically everything about the precursors was wiped away by the halo array so they could just call it forerunner because they don't know any better
What the fuck is with this Scarab mission in Halo Wars, it just stops targeting anything other than our base for no reason.

Anders still has some vaguely Asian aspects, but the original actor was too busy to return IIRC.

No. For one thing, Abaddon was damaged but not destroyed. The Forerunner that merged with it somehow fixed the errors but Abaddon is still at the end of the day a conduit, a "gatekeeper" if you will, to the Domain much like the Warden Eternal served as to Cortana. The Domain itself is still Precursor, or perhaps older, no one knows. I find it hard to believe Cortana had no access to the Bornstellar Relation or ONI's analysis of the in-universe equivalent of Silentium.

You mean the super Scarab right? The AI for it is a little wack at times.
Colony DLC is out now... and hot damn does the new leader sound badass. Reminds me of Portal.
I didn't know the new AI was such a cutie, woof.
Tom French is now multiplayer director at 343. Cool as that is, seems a bit late in Halo's usual dev cycle to change over hands for both multiplayer and narrative.

They only just started dev on Halo 6, so I think this is the best time to do it.
Here's the tweet:

And something interesting.

I seriously hope that means there's a chance at dialing back the focus on sprint and spartan abilities.

What?
Her actress is half Chinese. I do admit the model doesn't capture her likeness very well

Huh she played Faith in Mirrors Edge Catalyst

Depends on what you mean by "just started".
No Brian Reed, Tom French as multiplayer director, total 180 of a lot of iffy choices. Pretty optimistic for Halo 6.
tom french will benchpress the juggernaut that is Halo and lift it to new heights
i hope
I'm much happier that he's lead, but I'm not sure about his ability to direct multiplayer. I'm only saying that since he hasn't really done anything relating to it before, so I hope to be proven wrong.
While he is the head MP, he is not calling all the shots remember, he still has to answer to people above.

I get that, but I'm just saying I want to see what he means to happen to MP before I'm entirely over the moon about it.
Ohh I want this

Probably will be replaced with whatever happened in Halo: The Flood or drastically altered, Halo's gameplay has never been reflective of canon anyway.

Thinking about it now, it doesn't really make much sense from a structural standpoint to have the entire spacecraft joined in the middle by a tiny bridge.

Games always overrides books when it comes to canon.
I always just imagined that you could fix the warthog runs length by just having it curve to stack on top of itself rather then be a straight line
So the Spirit of Fire's crew are like, infinitely better than every other UNSC company right?
