The United States educational system has just been dealt a devastating blow today -- DK Publishing has announced that it's collaborated with Microsoft to publish The Halo Encyclopedia this November. The reasons for going to class to learn anything are diminishing...
The comprehensive Halo guide will cover all of the games characters, weapons, vehicles, equipment, and locations from the series' universe. That includes, of course, all three proper Halo games, Halo Wars, and the upcoming Halo 3: ODST. That's 352 pages of full-color Halo nonsense that will consume portions of your brain that should be reserved for things like math, social skills, and the ability to balance a check book. But f**k it -- knowing Master Chief's belt size is very clearly more important.
The book will be made available to Halo fans across the globe, as it's being translated into multiple languages. Like the bible, but with one or two more references to the Needler.

That should be sufficient.
Sweet Jesus.
Let me run down the replies.
Halo sucks.
Halo doesn't anything new
Fuck Microsoft for milking their core franchise.
Halo? More like Gaylo.
Can Halo fans even read?
There we go, I think I got em all, but Pedro man, that deserves its own slot, it has got to most hilarious Halo comment I've ever read.
ANYWAY for the uneducated, the Halo franchise has a huge universe with infinite potential and this encyclopedia is most likely going to continue expanding that and filling in holes along the way of things that fans would love to see answered.
Seems pretty cool.
