Is this going by traditional continents or todays? I mean today there are 6 continents, but "traditionaly" there are 7. Asia of the traditional, has since joined with Europe to form the super continent "Eurasia" (it's cos they're mostly on the same plate).[[User:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 22:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think there's any such thing as a "traditional" continent. Some systems count different areas as one "continent" - North and South America can just be the America's. Antarctica can be left out altogether. Australia and the Pacific get merged into asia. Eurasia and Africa suddenly become one. My schools taught me that Asia and Europe were geopolitically separate, but part of the Eurasia supercontinent. It all depends on what system you use. That's why the template lists Eurasia, but links to Asia and Europe separately. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=blue>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=purple>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[w:c:halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=blue>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 09:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

This really needs to be pared down to just the Halo-relevant stuff. Also maybe something about the unexplained Earth tradition of naming military hardware after African animals. --68.44.13.236 17:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I think your getting the naming scheme confused. Its named after animals from a multitude of countires. Warthog: Multiple countires, Scorpion: Multiple countires, Elephant: Multiple countires, Mongoose: India, Hornet: Multiple countires etc --Ajax 013 19:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't forget the other stuff, like the sparrowhalk, cobra, cougar, albatross, and wolverine. =P 20:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there's any such thing as a "traditional" continent. Some systems count different areas as one "continent" - North and South America can just be the America's. Antarctica can be left out altogether. Australia and the Pacific get merged into asia. Eurasia and Africa suddenly become one. My schools taught me that Asia and Europe were geopolitically separate, but part of the Eurasia supercontinent. It all depends on what system you use. That's why the template lists Eurasia, but links to Asia and Europe separately. -- Administrator Specops306 - Qur'a 'Morhek Honour Light Your Way! 09:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
