Really? That's the cover they're going to use? Its like they don't even care.


Your hatred for 343 industries blinds your judgment.

You are the one who dissed the books that came under their support like Cryptum and Evolutions.

I already told him he was not welcomed.
Why does he continue? He should just drop it. Well soon he will not be a problem for us.

Not the worst possible cover, at least better than the one Oblivion posted. They should have at least tried to come up with an original cover like on the Encyclopedia.

@Roberto: You say that like it's a bad thing.

And I'm a little skeptical of how much they can really cram into 208 pages considering the Encyclopedia was over 300 pages long.


On second thought, maybe they can fit a lot. Flipping through for the first time in a while I noticed the Encyclopedia sometimes spreads one topic rather unnecessarily over multiple pages and repeats some info. Master Chief gets quite a few pages dedicated to him and his armor. There are also the two page spreads that are just screenshots or artwork and some quotes. This book on the other hand seems to limit everything to just one page.

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

I like how they've finaly named the Halo Wars supply ship.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I like the Cover image. I think about getting this one.

Finally got it. Pretty much my only complaint is that a couple of the images are of poor quality. This mainly applies to scaled up images of Halo Wars vehicles. Bad resolution. Though for some reason a picture of Ripa 'Moramee not from the actual gameplay came out kinda grainy. As luck would have it, they actually stuck an image of him at the end of the book that looks much better. Of course, it doesn't have everything, but the only omission that surprised me was that of the San 'Shyuum. The three hierarchs get pages but the species itself does not, though I think there is info about them interspersed throughout the book in other Covenant articles. And on that note I do think it is the first source to give Regret and Truth actual names. Mercy's was given in something earlier. Anyway, overall a pretty nice little reference book.

The images are poor quality? For a visual guide, that's a bit of a turn off.
