Is the proper name "nuclear" or "thermonuclear"? Whichever one it is, the article should reflect it. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 20:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

should this even be called a tactical nuke? | |||
tactical nuclear weapons are usually in the kiloton range. | |||
if it's in the megaton range (30) it really should be called a strategic nuke. | |||
that's pretty freakin' large. | |||
the point of a tactical nuke is to be small and portable, both in size and yield. | |||
MC john-117 whould have to get MILES away to use it safely! | |||
the davey crockett was one of the smallest tactical nukes, beat in compactness only by | |||
a 155mm nuclear shell. just wanted you to think about that. | |||
tactical=small and short range | |||
strategic=over the long range | |||
just my thoughts. | |||

== On HAVOK Nuclear Warhead == | |||
The Havock Nuclear Warhead (Or Tactical Nuke) would most likely be a warhead because of a few reasons. Primarily The one that Blue team carried on Cote Azure was one that could be attached and de-attached from the spartan's armor. The HAVOK also is in mine form, so it can be assumed that it is indeed a Warhead in many circumstances, also during the Human-Covenant war The UNSC had a very short supply of nuclear arms, this can be assumed when they sent in Blue team to recover 3 nuclear warheads from insurgents, so this leads to the belief that the adaptation of a HAVOK Nuclear Warhead into other systems, namely missile technology is greatly increased. With all this, it is a very good possibility that it is a warhead. | |||
I read in one of the books that it was the size and shape of a football. To me this sounds like the bomb in Halo 3.[[Special:Contributions/81.170.89.234|81.170.89.234]] 17:20, October 10, 2009 (UTC) | |||
:The IP address above me is confusing it with the [[Fury Tactical Nuclear Weapon|FURY]]. The [[Halo Wars: Genesis]] graphic novel mentions that the UNSC Spirit of Fire carries HAVOK nuclear ''missiles'' - and you can't say it's disputable canon, because it was written by Eric Nylund, who originally ''created'' the HAVOK. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]]</b> - <i><b><u>[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]</u></b></i> 01:18, October 23, 2009 (UTC) | |||
::There is actually more then one type of HAVOK. The proper name of it is the HAVOK Tactical Nuclear Device and there are several different variants, more importantly the Variant V HAVOK Nuke. | |||
::My source is Eric Nylund himself, he wrote the following in response to a question I asked about the HAVOK: | |||
::''Hi [REDACTED], Thanks. And yes, there are several variants of the HAVOK. Most important is the "V" variant designed to maximize the explosive nuclear yield in the vacuum of space.'' | |||
::However he stressed that the information is subject to approval from 343 Industries. If there are any issues or if this information needs to be properly added somewhere please let me know. [[User talk:Durandal-217|Durandal-217]] 19:37, November 27, 2009 (UTC) | |||
== HAVOK Tac-Nuke in ''Halo 4'' == | |||
If this weapon appeared in ''Halo 4'', then can we get a high-quality screenshot of this weapon for this article? If that can be done somehow, that would be absolutely great. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 21:51, 7 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
:'''UPDATE''': Forgot to put this up, as by now I have already done so myself. So, in light of this, nevermind, everybody, it's been taken care of. I also few other things the article was lacking, like a List of appearances section, and added a bit more info to a ref tag too. I think this article is pretty much complete, until further notice. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 22:10, 14 January 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
