Halo: Combat Evolved received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

Halo2sucks.com

I will be adding a link to that site since it is a pro-halo 1 site. - Joe —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.118.152.83 (talk) 00:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Don't you dare add that.

Grenade accidents

I just added a sentence about accidently hitting the grenade button at crucial times, which could affect gameplay, since it can hurt you and others.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hdgcfcf (talk • contribs)

Umm...Isn't this obvious? bibliomaniac15 Review? 03:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it is... Don't think it's necessary.--SU I T ^42! 03:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

I stuck the 'protected' thing on the page for the duration, if someone thinks it should be removed, by all means do so. I'm just getting annoyed on having to revert vandalism on five articles in my watchlist over and over... and over and over. David Fuchs 01:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Only admins can protect pages.--SU I T ⁴² 01:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well aware of that. I put in the request. In the past on other pages tho, that's actually detered vandals. 01:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't put the tag on if it's not actually protected, because the associated maintenance category then becomes confusing. I actually see a couple of good-faith IP edits (though one was original research) in the last day or so, and it's not as if the article is being continually pummelled (unlike some other video game articles, which get a dozen reverts of bad-faith edits a day), so I'm not inclined to protect yet. I do have this page watchlisted, so I'll continue to monitor it. Or you can request protection at WP:RFPP if it keeps up. — TKD::Talk 01:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The amount of vandalism this article receives on a daily basis is ridiculous. This page should probably be protected, in order to discourage the constant vandalism for at least a little while. JimmyBlackwing 19:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple Endings

This game is listed under the category "Computer and video games with multiple endings". Are endings different for other difficulty levels? Chronolegion 20:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat... if you beat it on Legendary, you get a non-canon extra movie at the end... David Fuchs 22:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I'd call that a multiple-ending scenario. I'd call that more of an easter egg, or something along those lines. The plot still ends the same way on Legendary as any other difficulty, it just shows a clip of the Seargent and an Elite fighting, seeing the Pillar of Autumn about to self-destruct, then hugging in imminent doom. After that it still cuts to Master Chief and Cortana escaping in the craft discussing the outcome.

How could there not be another black man in the marines in space? The "black" ai in the truth and reconsilation wasn't sergeant, obviously as he was killed by sword ellites AND in the book the name was different. If bungie says it is him, it didn't have to be canon did it?

Sergeant Avery wasn't killed by sword elites, he reappears in Halo 2. bibliomaniac 1 5 03:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you understood me. The Model of Sergeant Avery was used on possibly 4 occasions, 2 of them that are actually him. One which wasn't him was in the rescue of Captain Keyes and the other this ending. His Model was used both in the book and game, only being named in the book for the rescue of captain keyes.

Ringworld

Ok somebody is pissing me off. I have been trying to add something about Ringworld by Larry Niven and for some reason people keep reverting it. Considering how much both the world in the book and the world in halo have in common it is hard for me to understand why people keep deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.15.123.18 (talk • contribs)

Who says that there's a connection? Analysis of this sort needs to have been pointed out in a reliable source, or it's original research, which is forbidden on Wikipedia. — TKD::Talk 04:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As per above, the list of possible influences on the main page for the Halo series was deleted, because original research is not allowed. Please respect that Wikipedia does not allow this and turn it into an edit war. Not to mention your grammar is somewhat... lacking. David Fuchs 20:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
