-'''Water''', chemical formula H<sub>2</sub>O, is a common chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state; ice, and a gaseous state; water vapor or steam. Its chemical make-up is a covalent bond of two [[hydrogen]] atoms and a single [[oxygen]]. The covalent bond is strong, but the energy released from breaking this bond is low and hard to capture. It is a polar molecule, forming weak hydrogen bonds between the positive hydrogen ends and the negative oxygen end. Due to its polar characteristics, water cannot mix with oil or other non-polar substances.

+'''Water''', chemical formula '''H<sub>2</sub>O''', is a common chemical substance. Its chemical make-up is a bond of two [[hydrogen]] atoms and a single [[oxygen]].
-*Water is seen in plain sight during the majority of all the Halo games. It appears in six of the ten levels of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', nine of ''[[Halo 2]]'''s levels and almost all of ''[[Halo 3]]'s'' levels, in some form or another (excluding water vapor in a latter form). [[Damnation|A hydro-processing plant]] was one of the multiplayer levels in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.
-*In ''Halo 2'', the entire level [[Regret]] takes place on, around, and even underneath at one point, a large lake.
-*The [[Global Water Campaign]] and its [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] were designed to transport the still relatively clean melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] across the entire [[Africa]]n continent. Multiple facilities of the GWC, including [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]] and [[Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03]], are encountered in ''Halo 3'', with minor references to it in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
-==Trivia==
+==Universe and lore==
-*Water is utilized as a death barrier in some maps. In ''Halo 2'' maps [[Headlong]] and [[Waterworks]], the player is killed upon hitting the water or when hitting the water becomes inevitable.
+Water is found throughout the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] on a number of [[planet]]s with a variety of climates. Water on these planets are mainly found in [[:Category:Bodies of water|large bodies]]. [[Shield world]]s and [[Halo Array|Halo installations]], both built by the [[Ecumene]], also contained large water bodies. Some beings on these worlds, like the [[Sea worm]] or the [[Sanghelios]] [[Unidentified aquatic creature|creature]], live predominately in the water.
-*[[Frank O'Connor]] is a self-confessed fan of video game "water".
-*In ''Halo 3'', bodies and objects will float on water for a while before sinking.
+Sentient species have utilized water for a number of purposes. [[Human]]s and [[Sangheili]] have both developed [[Human marine craft|vehicles specifically to traverse]] those water bodies. Human and [[Covenant]] engineers have also used water for electricity and [[Plasma]] generation, like [[Ütközet hydroelectric power plant|on]] [[Reach]]{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Nightfall]]}} or [[Hydro-processing center|on]] [[Buwan]].{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Penance]]}} Humans also sell forms of water like with [[H2Oh! Vitamin Water]].{{Ref/Map|HI|[[Bazaar]]}}
+The [[Global Water Campaign]] and its [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] were designed to transport the still relatively clean melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] across the entire [[Africa]]n continent. Multiple facilities of the GWC, including [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]] and [[Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03]], were sites of combat during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Level|H3|[[Sierra 117]]}}{{Ref/Level|H3|[[Tsavo Highway]]}}
+==Gameplay==
+[[File:H3_GruntInWater.jpg|thumb|Bodies and objects will float in water.]]
+Water is seen in plain sight during the majority of all the Halo games. It appears in six of the ten levels of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', nine of ''[[Halo 2]]''{{'}}s levels, in three ''[[Halo 3]]'' levels, and in seven maps in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is further seen in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.
+In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'', bodies and objects will float on water for a while before sinking.
+Water is often utilized as a death barrier in some maps and the player is killed upon hitting the water or when hitting the water becomes inevitable. However in some cases on [[Forge World]] and [[Forge Island]], there are a few water areas that won't kill the player at all.
