A single death/change of an character wouldn't change the fabric of the Halo universe in a main timeline unless one was in a major position of importance. This would be like if I tried to have John-117 not participate in the battle of Earth, where the Covenant would have likely been able to destroy the last major combatant commander; or if Thel 'Vadamee were to not have been at i04, therefore a strong leader would have not been there for the Sangheili cause.

Quite honestly, it seems as if a majority of you can't see how easy it is just to have a little fun in your canon. I think it's fun to add a bit of realism to have Carter-A259 eject out of his Pelican instead of sacrificing himself in a giant titanium box. However, you seem to want to alienate many users who have made pre-release content (i.e. all of us) to bend with the current content, something of which we've never enforced until a few days ago.

While something should be done about this that limits the creative freedom of future articles, there is absolutely no point in pursuing against pages already here. There are far too many that haven't catered to new content, and it's better to start before the fact than after. I don't feel like wrecking people's good writing because they didn't follow the rock that was placed in one place or another in Reach.
