Talk:Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Early release?[edit]

Hey, everyone, I got my copy of this awesome book early today, although it may or may not have something to do with me pre-ordering the book ahead of time. But now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and release the new information gleaned from it, or just wait until the official release date to begin working on all the new information and incoming images. But I'm having trouble making up my mind. I really want to, but the question is, should I do it? Your thoughts? --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 15:40, 13 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Well I think you should wait until official release. Maybe you could prepare the images in advance though? Ugh I so want to get it and edit it. I'm going to order it today but its probably going to take me some time. To get it. I wish I could get it asap as well. I mean I'm going to get it but its going to take some time... but as I said. Maybe you could prepare the images? Gahhhh I want it now. Erickyboo (talk) 16:00, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Agreed, wait until the official release date. Col. Snipes450 16:19, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Geez. I worked on it, have had the contents of the book since March, but my copy from the publisher is only arriving Monday (although they thought they'd mailed copies to me and 343i about 3 weeks ago). :) Great that you have it though! Nice to hear it's in the wild already! Can't wait to see it in print! I won't tell you that you have to wait. You obtained it through legal means. You ordered it and it was delivered to you. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 18:24, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
I concur with Mister Loftus, reveal this new knowledge to us!Sith-venator Wavingstrider Fett helmet.jpg (Commlink) 18:56, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Have a look at the handsome devil with the sniper rifle on the Recon armor page. ;) -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 19:00, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Well, one thing is for sure, I will definitely be prepping the new images for use in this wiki. Won't upload them just yet, but can't wait to work on all them images and articles. So much juicy information! I will release one little object in Halo 4 that the book doesn't cover: the Requiem slipspace artifacts' official name unfortunately will remain unknown. Still, my conscience tells me I should be fair and wait (which I'm not good at) until official release. Or maybe I'll just wait until I hear what members of the Halopedia Administrative Team has to say, before I make up my mind. Oh, and by the way, I was taken by surprise when I saw that UPS delivered it to me earlier rather than on Monday, as I expected. Sorry, so excited! Can't wait until you guys get your copies! --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 19:45, 13 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
Please wait until the official release of the book on Monday, September 16, to put any relevant info on the wiki. Thanks and lucky you. :P--Spartacus TalkContribs 19:51, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
I figured as much. And I'm betting (not a gambler, mind you, just saying) that the other administrators will most likely say the same thing. So I will wait for the next 48+/- hours. --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 19:57, 13 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
