::A blurb for a later episode also shown in the video is wholly original so it's possible this one is just a placeholder and will get ironed out before release. I have somewhat mixed feelings about 343i relying ''too'' much on Halopedia — fans can still make mistakes and I'd rather not see those mistakes incorporated to the canon, as has happened several times (most prominently with the Halo Encyclopedia, with the canonization of the 100% fanon name "the Sharpened Shield" or the misinterpretation of the [[United Rebel Front]] as the proper name of an organization). Even the first Visual Guide had a couple of these, such as the mention of a [[Kig-Yar Zealot]] which obviously came from Halopedia. But I do wish they monitored pages like the [[List of inconsistencies in the Halo series]] and used the information to do something about the inconsistencies (they actually did this with the internal discrepancies in the Tor reissues of the first three novels). --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|Contribs]]) 10:46, 12 August 2014 (EDT)
