Figured with the release, I'd start the discussion. I have to say I'm not even half way done and I find this Guide much more informative then the previous guide, particularly the section on Fireteam majestic. File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol.

I still need to get my hands on one. Anything particularly interesting?Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 14:31, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

There's a few significant revelations (I won't spoil). File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 15:20, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

But spoilers are gooooooooooooooooooooood.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 16:01, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

Think I'll wait to buy it until I see some reviews of it. Hopefully the mistakes, if any, are few and far between (*cough* Halo Encyclopedia *cough*).--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 15:27, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

I have certainly tried to minimize that. It had 5 full review passes and it changed quite a bit from the version I first saw in February.It will not be the Encyclopedia all over again. :)-ScaleMaster117 (talk) 15:39, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

I can vouch for that. Aside from the fact that it uses the word "ad hoc" a little too often, the mistakes are very minimal. It is a must-have item for every hardcore Halo fan. --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 15:41, 16 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Onager

Just wondering is the Onager in Halo 4 specifically identified as the same type in Halo: Reach? Because the Guide is saying there is another type in Halo 4. File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 18:23, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

Yeah, you're right. We'll have to use the same article, but create a subsection to cover both variants. I'm working on it. --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 18:28, 16 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Infinity sub-vessels

The EVG says the sub-vessels of the Infinity are a different class frigate then what's currently listed here. Just wondering if the sub-vessel's class has already been confirmed or we just assumed what it was.File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 21:55, 17 September 2013 (EDT)

Hmmm...it's actually pretty explicit on the Strident-class page that they are the frigates docked in the Infinity. Not sure where your reference comes from. In which entry does it come into question? -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 22:02, 17 September 2013 (EDT)

Ok that's what the EVG says and what i meant, I read the SO episode with the sub vessel being labelled as a different class, I'll just change that article.File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 22:14, 17 September 2013 (EDT)

Spartan ranks

As established in the Guide, the Spartan branch has only two ranks, Spartan and Spartan commander. I was wondering how these could be added in terms of the rank category. I was thinking one page titled "Spartan (rank)" detailing the normal Spartan's role and the Spartan commander's role. Another option is just adding it as a section in the branch's page. I'm open for suggestions. File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 16:26, 19 September 2013 (EDT)

Holy frack, two ranks?Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 17:01, 19 September 2013 (EDT)
