Halopedia

Halopedia has reached a massive milestone! 20 years ago today, Halopedia was founded, and 20 years on, we are still here documenting the incredible world of Halo! Thank you all for your continued support, we wouldn't be here without you! Here's to 20 more years!

Received a special delivery of a (not so) little Halo thing I worked on. Guess I’m officially an author! Can’t believe I’m holding this in my hands right now, and none of you are ready for how great the audiobook is—every narrator we got absolutely knocked it out of the park! 💚

When Jeff and I started Waypoint Chronicles in 2022, we hoped we’d get to tell a few cool Halo stories. Today, I’m in a recording booth to narrate a new story for the audiobook ahead of the novel’s release next month Almost 5 years with Halo, dreams don’t stop coming true! 💚💙

@haruspis We feel the same, Alex. It's been a blast working with you on the Omnibus! So many lengthy discussions over so many minutiae, and quite a few laughs. It's been our pleasure.

Every time we can get the Halo community to contribute toward official things, the end result is always better for it. Editorial is often a long and lonely process. Working with Chris, Jacob, and Garrett on the omnibus updates has brought such creative joy to this project!

We greatly appreciate getting to officially contribute to the latest revisions of such foundational works. Rest assured, extreme care was taken to preserve the stories of the original novels while tweaking details to align with the games and books that followed.

It's true! The Halopedia team has been involved in the production of Halo: The Master Chief Omnibus, a collection of the first three Halo novels now updated to align more seamlessly with the last quarter century of Halo lore! Check out the Canon Fodder article below!

@certifiedgoon76 @Elyrium42 News comes from the authors Facebook, with other authors, friends, and family confirming the news. We are sorry to confirm this news. Source: facebook.com/share/p/17NrL4…

@Elyrium42 @Halopedia Me neither, that’s why I asked, I hope it’s not true

We at Halopedia are sad to hear of the passing of author William C. Dietz, author of several novels including several original works alongside contributions to Star Wars and, most notable to us, Halo: The Flood. We share our best wishes to his friends and family.

To end our post, we'd like to share a quote from Dietz's website regarding how he viewed writing. Thank you for all the stories, Dietz!

@Omegax_27 @DanielHoll52755 @SgdBenjamin Mark IV[B], also called "IV(b)," is in fact canon. Fred-104's armor in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn was canonized as [B] on Halo Waypoint. See attached.

@DanielHoll52755 @SgdBenjamin As I have already said, there have been different versions of the MK IV but so far and as far as I know none has been called as such [B]. Master Chief himself has used variants of the Mark IV but these don't stray far from the original design and as I said, they're not called [B]

@TheRealQuenny @DiscussKing Here is the original source! Hope that helps. Original source: x.com/albertpenello/…

@DiscussKing first one is a very early Paul Russel mockup, second one is a mysterious piece with an unused logo, was only able to find a weird AI upscaled image of it on Halopedia
