It has recently occured to me that a number of articles associated with the events depicted in Halo Wars now have no official source to confirm their canonicity, among these are: [[Keiichi-047]], [[Unidentified SPARTAN-II (Harvest)]], [[Ustaf 'Nbekee]], [['Crolunee]], [[Helena Roman]]. | It has recently occured to me that a number of articles associated with the events depicted in Halo Wars now have no official source to confirm their canonicity, among these are: [[Keiichi-047]], [[Unidentified Spartan-II|Unidentified SPARTAN-II (Harvest)]], [[Ustaf 'Nbekee]], [['Crolunee]], [[Helena Roman]]. | ||
The issue is that the website that originally contained the gameplay extracts involving these characters, the "Official Halo Wars Website" was recently disbanded. Instead the link goes to a Halo Waypoint page in regards to Halo Wars the game, with all traces of the original website deleted. | The issue is that the website that originally contained the gameplay extracts involving these characters, the "Official Halo Wars Website" was recently disbanded.

:Thanks for that, but really, it says nothing new. Basically, they're teasing that it's a probable impossibility, always preferable to an improbable possibility. In other words, it's basically a "we can neither confirm nor deny" situation. I'm pretty sure we're going to get a Halo 4 eventually, but there's plenty of other stories that can be told, and some that probably should be told ''before'' the Master Chief's return, if they're going to be told at all. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[ | :Thanks for that, but really, it says nothing new.

:Even so. I think it's a video worth watching. I wish there were more interviews on youtube about a halo 4 or even on Bungie's site.

I'm not sure what exactly needs to be changed; judging by the name of the project space, this may be something that they would need to convince wikia to change directly (which, judging by their reactions to the various wikis moving away, they might not agree to).

:That comes up if you put in "Halopedia" on a search engine (eg. Google) and yes, it is something that needs changing.
