[[ | '''Claude Errera''' is the founder and webmaster of [[halo.bungie.org]], a popular ''Halo'' fansite. Errera goes by the user name '''Louis Wu''', the name of [[Wikipedia:Louis Wu|a character]] from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Ringworld|Ringworld]]'', a major inspiration source of Bungie. | ||
==Recognition== | |||
His devotion to [[Bungie]] and ''Halo'' earned him a significant amount of recognition by Bungie and [[343 Industries]] and he is often considered the "godfather" of the ''Halo'' community. | |||
He received a "Special Thanks" credit at the end of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. He was interviewed in the [[Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition|''Halo 2'' Limited Collectors Edition DVD]], where he discusses the ''Halo'' multiplayer matches he holds with his friends. [[Greg Bear]]'s ''[[Halo: Primordium]]'' was dedicated to Claude in recognition for his years of service to the Halo community. He was also given both the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI/R variant|Recon]] armor (before it became publicly available through the [[Vidmaster Challenges]]) and a one-of-a-kind "Pro" [[nameplate]] by Bungie for ''[[Halo 3]]''. | |||
He was also featured in Bungie's twenty-year anniversary [[ViDoc]], ''[[Bungie ViDoc: O Brave New World|O Brave New World]]''. 343 Industries' annual ''Claude Errera Community Award'' was named in honor of Errera, and he was also the first recipient of the award at the first Halo Fest during [[Wikipedia:Penny Arcade Expo|PAX Prime 2011]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKqr-RtcwJU&feature=related '''YouTube''': ''Louis Wu recieives a Claude Errera!'']</ref> | |||
There are also several references to Errera in the ''Halo'' games. There is a character, [[C. Errera|Corporal C. Errera]], named after him in the ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'' booklet. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Club Errera]], a nightclub in [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], is named in reference to Claude. Also, the [[Tribute Room]] in the level [[The Package]] contains a terminal dedicated to him and HBO. One of the human [[UNSC Army|troopers]] in the game is also named [[Fireteam (gameplay mechanic)|C. Errera]], possibly being the same soldier mentioned from ''Conversations''. | |||
