StalkerGrunt117's board-to-board with Tacitus

It's true this appears to be disparity - if I had to guess, the differences may be due to a last-minute change. However, the Essential Visual Guide also lists the armament of the Space Banshees and Seraphs as the heavy plasma cannon, while Class-2 plasma weapons are identified as "medium plasma cannons" in the book. It may be that "heavy plasma cannon" is merely a common term for plasma weapons of a certain power output and there are a number of different versions, namely, the ones used by Seraphs and Banshee Fighters and the ones mounted on Reach-era Phantoms and Spirits, which in turn fire bolts similar to the Concussion Rifle. We don't observe the effects of the Seraph or Space Banshee cannons in normal gameplay (only on a Sabre) so it's likely they're more powerful than the regular Class-2 plasma cannon.

Since two official sources identify the Seraph's and Space Banshee's weapons as heavy plasma cannons, I think the best thing we can do is divide that article to describe the two different types; the Concussion Rifle-like dropship cannon and the more ordinary cannons on the Banshee Fighter and Seraph.

Thank you for helping me on the article :) Btw, i also wanted to ask you something. The Heavy plasma cannon page lists the Seraphs and Space Banshees as being armed with that particular weapon (and have the Reach manual as a source), but in gameplay, those two seems to fire the Classs-2 energy gun. Should I modify the articles?

Nice work with the plasma cannon article. That's exactly what I was envisioning.

That thought did cross my mind, but I still think a general article listing all the different plasma cannon models is a better solution, since we have so little hard data on the Wraith and Prowler cannons in themselves. The T-42 and T-52 DESWs would obviously retain their individual pages, while the "Plasma cannon" article would offer links to them and a summary of all known models, much like the page Shade. Everything we know of the Wraith and Prowler turrets would be described on the page, but they would get no individual pages due to their lack of notability.

Or, because we have some really well organized pages on Both the type-52 and 42, and so that we don't have to re-write the disambig page on plasma cannon and make it more complicated, couldn't we just make some articles for the Wraith/Prowler cannons?

Ok, I will edit the Plasma cannon page and add the different models, but how should the Wraith and Prowler ones be described? Unidentified Plasma cannon (Wraith/Prowler)?

I don't think the Prowler or Wraith turrets have ever been identified other than calling them "plasma cannons". The page "plasma cannon" apparently redirects to Type-52 DESW, which is technically incorrect since the T-52 is a specific model of plasma cannon and not a blanket term for all such weapons. We could always make an article for plasma cannons in general, which would detail the different models, such as the T-42 and the unidentified cannons on the Wraith and the Prowler.

What is the Prowler turret then? The Prowler article lists it's turret as a type-52. Based on appearances, then the Wraith mounted turret isn't a type-52 either.

That is the most likely explanation.

I have no idea, really. The Halo 2 credits apparently credit a "Steven Scott" while the Halo 3 credits call him "Steve Scott". It's obvious they're the same person since both worked on effects; I'm guessing Stephen is his real name, and "Steve" and "Steven" are merely nicknames or misspellings.

Hy, sorry to bother you again, but i found something weird while i was looking round. The page "Steve Scott" said that he was a 3d effects artist on Halo 3, and as a source was the Once More onto the breach vidoc. I watched and older halo 3 vidoc where the same person was called "Stephen Scott". To add to the confusion, the first page said that another guy, Steve Scott worked on Halo 2, while Steve Scott redirected to Stephen Scott. I believe Bungie spelled his name wrong in one of the vidocs, but which one?

It's fine by me. It's possible someone else might disagree but I think they're notable enough to have articles of their own.

Hy, sorry to bother you but i was wondering if we should have easter egg pages about the invisible data pad elite in Winter Contingency, and about the special locations on your radar like "Vaya Con Dios!" on powerhouse and "Space" in Condemned?
