Unidentified SMG?

Where's this new SMG? All I'm seeing is the H2:A M7 and its new modified versions (which are all gorgeous, they did a very good job with the variants). Alex T Snow (talk) 02:42, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Yeah I'm just going to remove that section since it's clearly just an M7 with some cool attachments.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 10:17, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, that was my fault. I was editing while watching the trailer and saw the modded SMG before the attachments part, and I just thought it was a new SMG. I forgot to update it later. - NightHammer (talk) 14:31, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

That tends to happen when you're excited; I almost noted something about a "new" weapon that turned out to be the carry handle-less BR before I frame-by-framed the customization section. Alex T Snow (talk) 16:09, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Canon?

Is this game going to be canon? In particular, I mean whether the armor variants and weapon variants will be considered canon? Or is it just a spinoff?--Ender the Xenocide 12:48, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

Yeah it's canon.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 12:56, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

How do we know this?--Ender the Xenocide 13:15, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

Rumors cancelled

There is rumors that this game is being cancelled. While I usually dont trust rumors. I felt it was wise to mention. Seeing as we spreadout the canon for this game. I mean what does this mean for the canon in this game if its cancelled? I mean only thing safe is the Anvil stuff seeing as Grim mentioned it. - CIA391 (talk) 12:35, 22 December 2015 (GMT)

The rumor started from a Russian gaming site that is apparently considered clickbaity and unreliable among Russians, and the website itself even marked it as a rumor. I guess we can only wait and see. As for the content, I guess we would have to consider it non-canon. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:43, 21 December 2015 (EST)

HO's community manager disproved the rumors today. PatrickRus (talk) 07:45, 22 December 2015 (EST)

Some news are likely to be announced this week. PatrickRus (talk) 08:53, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

Project Dewrito/Anvil online

Would it be worth adding a section about DewRito/Anvil seeing as how the game is likely in development hell now? https://www.reddit.com/r/haloonline —This unsigned comment was made by 178.167.254.212 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

MS and Innova despise it for sure. Judging by how Halopedia keeps itself in a "legit" area of things, I'd say no. PatrickRus (talk) 19:10, 23 May 2016 (EDT)

What do you mean adding a section about DewRito/Anvil? Alertfiend - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. (Converse) 19:13, 23 May 2016 (EDT)

Halo Online has unofficially become Halo: Anvil Online, after much trouble. I've found this communiqué. Everyone read it. They say the game is still under development, but with a new internal team who will remain more silent on the project until it's actually become better. I'd say we should wait before making important changes. But the Halo Online article certainly needs some upates. Imrane-117 (talk) 19:20, 23 May 2016 (EDT)

Don't mistake ElDorito/Dewrito or Anvil Online for the "real" Halo: Online. Those teams are not affilated with Innova or Microsoft, and they modify the game without their approval. PatrickRus (talk) 19:27, 23 May 2016 (EDT)

Merge

If we are to keep the armor variants introduced in Halo Online, I say we should merge them all into one article like "List of armor variants in Halo Online" or something like that. There we could keep the info on the armors in one place. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 17:47, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

Sounds good to me.Sith Venator (Dank Memes) 17:49, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

I was thinking we could use the Halo Online armor permu page. Seeing as I already got all the known HO Elite armor put there. And got that linked in the deleted content template. Does need a lil work. But it would do the job and save a lil time.-CIA391 (talk) 17:54, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

For all we know, the game is scrapped as it is, and might be revived as a whole new thing or cancelled altogether. I think armor and weapon variants Halo Online's developers made up should be "questionable" and treated close to non-canon, and for that reason remove mentioning of those armors and weapons from the main pages of those.PatrickRus (talk) 18:00, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

I agree. All the scrapped armor variants would be better off on their own page. If any of them are ever canonized, we can easily give them their own articles again. --Jugus (talk) 05:52, 25 August 2016 (EDT)

ElDewrito (again)

Just noticed the section on the page about Eldewrito and the mod manager. Given the previous decision that was made (back in 2016) to exclude ElDewrito from the page (especially relevant given MS and 343 shutting the project down), should this section be removed? Especially given that it reads more like an advertisement in some places, and talks about where to find links for download that MS would rather people not have. Just a thought. BaconShelf (talk) 10:00, 10 July 2018 (EDT)

It will be getting removed.-CIA391 (talk) 14:45, 12 July 2018 (EDT)

The above is a useful link so we can get fast access to the old site that hosted some exclusive information not on the vk site.-CIA391 (talk) 10:58, August 9, 2020 (EDT)

Headphones images

Is there really a point to having those in the article? It's just a couple of promo pics they used to promore lottery-type giveaway of those headphones (which are generic un-branded model), they don't have anything to do with the game itself per se. PatrickRus (talk) 05:22, August 30, 2022 (EDT)
