So, this just came out. I'm kind of disappointed at the lack of new info on old stuff - we get birth dates and so on for some characters but not all of them. Then there's also obvious mistakes, like Randall Aiken as being part of the Spartan branch. And I can't help but grin at the thinly-veiled copy-pasting from Halopedia which despite the use of slightly different wordings most of the time is readily apparent in some places (I suppose that's a sign we're doing a good job, though some acknowledgment would be nice). For instance:

"...the discord eventually culminated in both the Master Builder’s takeover of the Forerunner Old Council as well as the exile of the Didact."

vs.

"This conflict eventually culminated in Faber's takeover of the Old Council and the Didact's exile."

or

"On Charum Hakkor, Forthencho the remaining human forces were pushed back to the Citadel Charum, an ancient Precursor ruin; here they would make their final stand."

vs.

"Eventually, he and the other surviving human forces were pushed back to the Precursor ruin known as Citadel Charum where they made their final stand."

But like the now mostly defunct Catalog I think there's potential for something great here. It's clear this thing isn't going to surpass Halopedia in terms of detail but it can serve as a decent enough reference document for some details. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 10:32, 10 November 2014 (EST)
