The Halo 4-given armaments for the Charon include 3 Hyperion missiles, and 50 Archer missile pods; the canon model (as depicted in Halo 3 wouldn't be able to fit any Hyperions inside, and only has 5 Archer pods. The number of Magnetic Accelerator Cannons and Rampart point-defence turrets remains accurate to the canon model. The universe of Halo is remarkably vast in scale and astonishingly elaborate in detail, telling rich stories filled with bold characters, breathtaking worlds, and thrilling conflicts. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Halo, Dark Horse and 343 Industries have teamed up to deliver the most definitive guide to the universe thus far. Spanning over a hundred millennia and encompassing over a hundred thousand light years, the Halo Encyclopedia captures two decades of storytelling with stunning, never-before-seen art and the most detailed exploration of the universe’s many characters, worlds, and technologies to have ever been created." Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition) - The first Halo Encyclopedia ever produced, released originally in 2009. Halo: Outcasts, a brand new Halo novel written by Troy Denning, was released on August 8 th! It follows Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and Spartan-IV Olympia Vale shortly before the events of Halo Infinite as they search the desolate world of Netherop for an artifact with the potential of loosening Cortana's tyrannical grip on the galaxy! The Secessionist Union and the People's Occupation Government are stated to be the same organization, a claim clearly originating from Halopedia, as the original source for the two groups does not indicate they are synonymous.

The CQS48 Bulldog is stated as having an 8-round magazine. The correct number of rounds should be 7. The revised Encyclopedia still refers to the "First" and "Second" Battles of Earth instead of the "Battle of Earth" only, an error that came from Halopedia. [4] The Halo Encyclopedia begins with a chronology of the events in the Halo universe. The book is divided into five sections: Humanity, Covenant, Forerunners, Flood, and Banished.Halo: Epitaph, an upcoming Halo novel written by Kelly Gay, is releasing on February 27 th! It follows the Ur-Didact after the events of Halo 4 and Halo: Escalation which culminated in his composition at the hands of John-117. What's more is that the official audiobook for Halo: Epitaph will be narrated by Keith Szarabajka, the voice actor for the Ur-Didact! I’ve always been fascinated by encyclopedias. We had the leather-bound Encyclopedia Brittanica to pore through on rainy days – and a big selection of museums on rainy and sunny days. What I realized, even then, is that museums and encyclopedias aren’t memorializations of things past. They are living, evolving, growing things. Those leather-bound tomes were a moment of civilization and culture, trapped in amber. But somewhere, someone was working on the next edition. This is a must-have guide to the Halo universe. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, as hostile forces and ancient mysteries threaten to snuff out our first fiery foray into the universe. Take a trip into the world of Halo and discover everything you ever wanted to know about the characters, weapons, vehicles, equipment and locations from Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST. From the Colonial Administration Authority to the UNSC, you'll find an overview of Halo's human history and structure and gain insight into key organizations. Discover all about the Covenant - its history and religion - as well as the Forerunners, Flood and much more. It's what Halo fans have been waiting for. urn:lcp:haloencyclopedia0000unse:epub:de67fa7a-e479-4da5-99fe-9b396e43b305 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier haloencyclopedia0000unse Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s251kxs353m Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780756655495

Secretly pressed into production by Misriah Armory in response to the events of 2558, the C718 Longsword was the product of decades of research and reappropriated enemy technology. [1] Trivia [ edit ] The Encyclopedia splits the Battle of Earth into a "First" and "Second" battle, a decision originating from Halopedia, until newer information from Halo: Ghosts of Onyx and Halo 3: ODST established that the battle was in fact one continuous engagement. Easterling said the Halo universe continues to expand, especially with the imminent release of Halo Infinite. 343 wanted this new Halo Encyclopedia to compile that massive amount of lore into something every fan can enjoy. Shield World 006 is referred to as "the Sharpened Shield", which was a short-lived fan-given name for the installation on Halopedia. Since this is a reference book, we're not planning on enforcing our normal spoiler policy this time.

Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition) - A revised edition of the first Halo Encyclopedia from 2011, updated to include new canonical information from Halo: Reach, and to correct a number of errors in the original printing. It has also been noted that a number of descriptions in the book are ostensibly based upon, even quoted from, those of Halopedia. This has also resulted in several errors. Examples of such content include: In addition to the bevy of information, the new Halo Encyclopedia will include various pictures from across the series' history, ranging from "fresh and newly captured game assets" to well-known classic imagery. Fans can also expect "a few cool things first introduced by this encyclopedia itself."

Reception to the Halo Encyclopedia has been mixed. Some reviewers and readers praised the book's detailed approach to its content. However, other reviewers stated that the book's images are often of poor quality and "at times seem haphazardly thrown together." [6] Others criticisms centered on the work's poor editing, most notably its poor spelling and grammar. Misattributions are also frequent, with the Scout and Rogue armor being referred to as one armor type. Later printings of the Encyclopedia feature improved editing, eliminating many mistakes that exist in the initial printing, including several mislabelings and misattributions. Nonetheless, several factual inaccuracies remain. For example, the ranking system of the Brutes is mangled, with a picture of a Major labeled as a Minor, and the color of an Ultra's armor is mis-cited as cyan instead of violet. The erroneous terms "Covenant Loyalists" and "Covenant Separatists" are used to refer to the participants of the Great Schism. This terminology also came from Halopedia. [5] The weapons loadout listed for the Charon-class light frigate is retained as that established for UNSC Forward Unto Dawn in Halo 4; in Halo 4, the ship was incorrectly depicted as much bigger than any UNSC frigate or cruiser, and had a massive armaments complement to match. As such, the armaments loadout provided (particularly the three Hyperion missiles) would not be able to fit inside the canon Charon. The universe of Halo is remarkably vast in scale and astonishingly elaborate in detail, telling rich stories filled with bold characters, breathtaking worlds, and thrilling conflicts. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Halo, Dark Horse and 343 Industries have teamed up to deliver the most definitive guide to the universe thus far. Spanning over a hundred millennia and encompassing over a hundred thousand light years, the Halo Encyclopedia captures two decades of storytelling with stunning, never-before-seen art and the most detailed exploration of the universe’s many characters, worlds, and technologies to have ever been created. [7]Halo Channel's Halo Encyclopedia - a lore feature on on the Halo Channel, serving as a mirror of the Universe section on Halo Waypoint. The C718 Longsword is heavily armed; it is commonly equipped with an ALI-50 110mm autocannon, four M9109 50mm coilguns, four ASGM-15 missiles, sixty M888 Octadart bombs, one M2475 Shiva missile silo, and an M1011 Moray space mine system. [1] Operational history [ edit ] The designation provided for the Stalwart-class light frigate's Magnetic Accelerator Cannon is given as the 21X5V9 MAC, contradicting the 56A2D4 established in Halo: Warfleet.
