Dragonclaws writes: If you're reading this, you obviously know what Halo is, but you can't really know Halo unless you learn it's secrets. You've beat the game on Legendary, but have you found the Scarab Gun? Halopedia can help you to attain not only the famous secrets, but the deepest and darkest of them as well. Read on to know where. Halopedia can tell you nearly anything you may need to know about Halo. Halopedia is also a wiki, which means it's constantly expanding. It knows everything about the Halo games, books, upcoming movie, and other appearances, and with your help, it can grow even larger.

But how can one trust a wiki? Surely some crazy could come in and troll the entire place up. Well... they could, but they wouldn't get too far. Halopedia is guarded by rabid watchdog like fans who are constantly watching the Recent Changes page to check for the slightest error, either grammar or factual. Okay, that's a bit exaggerated. The real deal is that Halopedia is under almost constant watch by someone who can set everything right. With 3 very responsible sysops and a mob of other users, Halopedia is in safe hands.

Be sure to check out Halopedia and even you could find something to contribute.

Tahlequah Daily Press Titled: Old Man Winter freezes out Halo tourney Published: February 20, 2006 01:06 pm Author: By Teddye Snell, Press Staff Writer Part of the game’s attraction is the player’s opportunity to become part of a vast gaming network. While two- to four-player gaming is possible on a single Xbox, the game has the capability to accommodate up to 16 players in one Halo game over a local area network, using four Xboxes that have been connected through the Ethernet hub. Those using the PC version of the game have the added benefit of online play.

The game has become so popular, it has its own wiki - or expandable encyclopedia, at www.halopedia.org, which gives visitors a thorough overview of the game, with links to even more information.

On the show last week, Relevance brought up Halopedia, “the other Halo wiki.” He thought for some reason that it was a dirty word (like maybe not being allowed to say “Podtacular” on air). In what Brathnok considers the highlight of the interview, I said “and besides, Halopedia is down.” After a pause so perfect in length I think he must have planned it, Relevance said “I was there today.” Owned.

So, he’s brought the link to my attention: it is not halopedia.org as I had thought; though to restore my manhood I should note that it used to be. It’s been reborn as halo.wikia.com, though I’m confused as to why because that doesn’t have the same ring to it.

To dispel further rumors, halowiki.net <3s Halopedia. There, I even said it in IMspeak for you. Halopedia is a wiki about the story of Halo, while halowiki.net is a “Halo 2 multiplayer repository” (emphasis added. To, um, emphasize). I should actually carouse over there once I’m done reading the Halo trilogy and graphic novel, now that I’ve actually finished Halo 2’s campaign.

Also, Halopedia links to us. Not only that, but it gave the Clan of Bobs its resident Mexican.

Update: After looking around a bit, it seems like Halopedia had hosting issues (they couldn’t afford the bandwidth), so they went to Wikia, which offers free hosting for wikis. Seems like a nice place, except for the ads (which you’d have to put up with on any free site).
