Excellent!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2013

If your looking for more information about the Halo universe, this is the book to get!
Ever since I played Halo 2 I was hooked to its story. And I wanted to know more about their earth, how the Spartans came to be, how did the Covenant start, what types of armor etc. The list goes on. I've played all the games ( except ODST didn't care for it much) and was smitten with Halo 4. Now this book only goes up to Halo: Reach which should be expected because this book came out during that game so. The pictures are beautiful! one picture in particular took my breath away which consisted of Master Chief and Arbiter. Either way, if your in love with Halo and need to get a fix, this book needs to be on your shelf NOW!

Updated edition kinda dissapointing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

It's great that they fixed all the major errors from the first edition of the encyclopedia and replaced a lot of the images with better quality ones from Reach. But there still seems to be a lack of effort in some areas. My big problem with the book is that the info was not thoroughly updated. I noticed the ship section in particular does not include any of the ships or ship classes introduced in Reach except for the Sabre and that space station, which are on new pages. No Night of Solace, UNSC Savannah, or any of those listed anywhere in the book as far as I can see. For whatever reason, they left out a number of the Covenant weapons from Reach as well. I also noticed that i343 seems to be entirely ignoring the revelations in Greg Bear's Forerunner Saga. I'd still say it's a pretty good reference book and more or less worth getting at Amazon's price if you're a Halo fan, more so if you haven't purchased the previous edition.

It Is A Bible for Halo Fans

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This item is amazing! When I got it in the mail, it was actually bigger and heavier than I originally expected. The artwork is amazing and the text isn't hard to read at all. If you have read any of the novels, it mainly connects the novels to the game series and clears up any questions that you may have about the saga. I did think it was very short for an encyclopedia. If you really want to know everything about Halo from this book, you can literally sit and read the whole thing from beginning to end in about 2 hours. Well worth the money and I hope they continue to update as more Halo games are released!

This is a must have for any crazy Halo fan like me. I can't get enough Halo. I love the store have all the books art work, and buy as much Halo things as I can. With that said this book has everything Halo from time lines to art work. To everything ever put in a game or book. All guns ships cars humans and covenant. Everything Halo.

Super Sache

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on October 10, 2013

Eigentlich gibt es nicht soo viel zu sagen:

Toll:

-bis auf Halo 4 ist alles drin was es über Halo zu wissen gibt
- Optik und Layout finde ich passend, auch wenn einige (wenige) Bilder aufgrund falscher Skalierung gestaucht oder gestreckt dargestellt sind
- wer nicht zur Generation Wicki gehört und noch in Büchern schmöckert kommt hier voll auf seine oder ihre Kosten, auch wenns ein ganz schöner Brocken ist. Lesen in der Badewanne kann man also schon mal vergessen, wenn man nicht auf Zerrungen scharf ist.

Schade:

- dass nichs über Bungie, die Soundtracks oder anderes erhältliches Merchandise im Allgemeinen und den Multiplayer drin steht (ich weiß, tut nichts zur Sache, aber mich interessiert sowas), aber dann wären es auch locker tausend Seiten geworden...
- dass es so teuer ist. Ich hab mir ja offensichtlich die Neuauflage in englischer Fassung zugelegt, was auch überhaupt kein Problem ist, sofern man auch nur ein bisschen Englisch spricht. Der Preis für die deutsche Fassung ist eine Unverschämtheit. Das Buch ist toll, aber ganz sicher keine 60€ wert, zumal für die alte Auflage.

Alles in Allem eine runde Sache. Und mal im Ernst: eine HALO ENZYKLOPÄDIE (!) im Schrank. Wie geil sieht das denn bitte aus?

Hello Halo fans, a good visual guide to the key events and participants in the Halo universe up to Halo Reach

While lacking detailed Precursor and Forerunner History, it is still full of excellent artwork and a depth of Covenant-Human History. I enjoyed reading it and await either an updated edition or additional material from the Forerunner Saga. A must have for diehard fans.
