From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "In Halo 1, there was maybe 30 seconds of fun that happened over and over and over and over again. And so, if you can get 30 seconds of fun, you can pretty much stretch that out to be an entire game. Encountering a bunch of guys, melee attacking one of them before they were aware, throwing a grenade into a group of other guys, and then cleaning up the stragglers, before they could surround you. And so, you can have all the great graphics, and all the different characters, and lots of different weapons with amazing effects, but if you don't nail that 30 seconds, you're not gonna have a great game."

Hey, I'm Samuele. Welcome to my page! I don't know how you got here, or why you'd want to be here, but I won't judge.
My time with Halo (so far)
I was introduced to the series by a friend in 2024, around about when the DMR was properly added to Infinite. I stayed on it for a good while, I think up until the falcon got added, but moved over to MCC around that time (I'd also beaten Halo 5 at some point by this time). I beat Halo 4, then beat (and fell in love with) the old games, and am now going back to them on higher difficulties (my end goal is having all the bungie games on legendary, which I'm fairly certain I can do).
It was around this time (late 2025) that I found the wiki, and also started getting into the expanded universe, which brought me to my current end goal of acquiring all the Bungie media (or at least almost all of the media released between 2001-2010).
On the community side of things, it's been pretty good. Found my place, got introduced to some great content creators, not much to complain about.
As a fan, I'm definitely in the Bungie camp, especially because of the origins and earlier history of halo, but also because I enjoy them more from a gameplay standpoint and think they work better as a single universe with each other than 343's stuff.
Time on the wiki
I've probably earned the reputation (for better or worse) as the references guy. Kinda what I specialise in, aka the only thing I'm qualified to do, and that's only after a year of edits that were mostly just making a mess as large as the one they were fixing, but i eventually got the hang of it.
Well, that was until I decided that the weapon gameplay pages for each game needed making, and so I got to filling them out. Most of them are nowhere near done, and there's still so many to do (I will finish off Infinite, but that'll be it), but it's slightly better now, and that's what matters.
