I don't follow the lore side of things quite as regularly as I once used to, but I am working to clean up and bring the gameplay sections of the site up to date when possible, particularly in areas concerning ''Halo Wars'', ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 4''. It's my hope that one day, aside from being the best lore-repository this side of the internet, Halopedia will also become the best place to look for Halo concept art!
