Halo: The Essential Visual Guide is a visual guidebook of the Halo universe, published by DK Publishing on July 4, 2011. The book contains images and additional information on the locations, characters, creatures, vehicles, and weapons from the Halo universe.[1] Each page in the guide is dedicated to one element, focusing on its role and significance in the Halo universe. The book also features over 600 pieces of screenshots, renders and several pieces of artwork specially commissioned by Microsoft artists.[2]
The book was a collaboration of many at 343 Industries and was primarily written and overseen by Content Creator Jeremy Patenaude. In addition, 343 Industries consulted Stephen Loftus, a long-time Halo fan known for his technical analyses on various aspects of the Halo universe, as a technical advisor on some of the details, as a general fact checker, and to create additional info where needed.[3]

Errors
- On page 4, in Statistics the word Air "Assault" is misspelled Air "Assult".
- On page 12, the main illustration used to depict Arcadia is actually the planet Harvest from the first cutscene of Halo Wars.
- On page 16, it is erroneously stated that the MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System does not appear in Halo 3: ODST.
- On page 33, the MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System is mistakenly referred to as the MA5C assault rifle.
- On page 74, UNSC Forward Unto Dawn is mistakenly said to appear in Halo 3: ODST. This is likely a misattribution of the Template:UNSCship's cameo in that game.
- On page 81, the abbreviation of Flood Super Cell is misspelled "FCS" instead of "FSC".
- On page 119, the MA37 assault rifle's shroud and barrel are misaligned, giving the appearance of two under-barrel flashlights.
- On page 160, the Rookie should be listed with "UNSC Marine Corps" instead of "UNSC Navy", similar to his squadmates' entries.
