| ARTICLES RELATED TO Halo | | | |  Halo: Combat Evolved: Encyclopedia II - Halo: Combat Evolved - PlatformsPrior to Bungie's takeover by Microsoft, the initial release of Halo was planned for the Mac OS and Windows platforms; in fact, the game was first previewed at the Macworld Conference & Expo, New York, in 1999. It was also originally planned as a real-time strategy game with the twist that you could control the character manually instead of clicking on the character and then clicking where they would go. However, the developers were having so much fun, with just controlling ...

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - First-person shooter - Controversy Some groups have blamed first-person shooters — the usual suspect for video game violence — for certain spree killings. For example, there was much controversy in the United States that the Columbine High School massacre was a result of the attackers having played a great deal of the FPS Doom. In fact, one of the attackers created levels for Doom, the most popular being one called "UAC Labs", which can still be found on the Internet to this day as the Harris levels. Years later, there was much speculation in the UK media th ...

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Technological singularity - The Vingean Singularity The concept of a technological singularity as it is known today is due in part to mathematician and novelist Vernor Vinge. Vinge began speaking on the Singularity in the 1980s, and collected his thoughts into the first article on the topic in 1993, with the essay "Technological Singularity". Since then, it has been the subject of many futurist and science fiction stories and writings.
Vinge's essay contains the oft-quoted statement that "Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create super ...

| | | | | Halo: Combat Evolved: Encyclopedia II - Halo: Combat Evolved - Introduction Halo was one of the launch games for the Xbox gaming system, considered by many to be that platform's "killer app", or must-have "killer game." The game has sold several million copies since its release on November 15, 2001 alongside the Xbox console. Many consider Halo to be one of the best, or most influential, first-person shooters of all time. For example, the usually harsh Edge magazine gave it a full score of ten out of ten. Nevertheless, Halo has its criticisms; some have labeled its game play as repetitive, an el ...

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Ringworld - The story In the year 2850, four explorers (two humans and two aliens) are chosen to explore a mysterious "ringworld", an enormous, artificial, ring-shaped structure that surrounds a star. The story is set in an extremely technologically advanced universe, where instant teleportation and indestructible spacecraft hulls are a reality.
The protagonist Louis Wu is a retired adventurer who has just celebrated his 200th birthday.

| | | | | Halo: Combat Evolved: Encyclopedia II - Halo: Combat Evolved - Storyline Halo's storyline is presented to the player through an instruction manual, scripted events and conversations during the game, and a number of cut-scenes rendered using the game's graphics engine. This method of storyline delivery is common among modern video games. As a literary side note, the design of "Halo" borrows heavily from the ring-shaped Culture Orbitals of Iain M. Banks, and many of the naming conventions recall Banks' novels.

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Technological singularity - Early conceptions Though often thought to have originated in the last two decades of the 20th century, the idea of a technological singularity actually dates back to the 1950s:
"One conversation centered on the ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue." —Stanislaw Ulam, May 1958, referring to a conversation with John von Neumann
This quote is sometimes taken out of context and attributed to von N ...

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Technological singularity - Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns Some view the Singularity as a logical consequence of the evolution of society. Most famously, Ray Kurzweil justifies his belief in an eminent singularity by an analysis of history from which he concludes that technological progress follows a pattern of exponential growth. He calls this conclusion The Law of Accelerating Returns.
Kurzweil's Law generalizes Moore's law, which describes an exponential growth pattern in the complexity of integrated semiconductor circuits, to include technologies from far before the integrated circ ...

The armor is fitted on top of an all-over black, skin-tight body suit (presumably made of some leather-like, bulletproof material), although the mandibled mouth is partially exposed.
The suit itself creates a shielding system which can absorb the impact of projectiles, and diffuse the intense heat of plasma impacts. This shi ...

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Covenant Elite - The Arbiter The rank of Arbiter, introduced in Halo 2, is bestowed upon a Covenant Elite by the High Prophets during a time of serious need. The Arbiter acts as the Prophet's will, going on missions for the Prophets and during incidents such as the Taming of the Hunters, the Grunt Rebellion, and most recently, the threat of Heresy, he has emerged to lead the Covenant to victory. Many, especially Grunts, see the Arbiter as their Savior, and their peers consider him the "Will of the Prophets" or, in his military role, the "Blade of the Proph ...

| | | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Halo megastructure - Origin The Halos are a set of seven (Now six, one was destroyed) giant, ring-shaped worlds built by the Forerunners, an ancient alien species about which little is known. They are "weapons of last resort, capable of destroying all sentient life within 3 radii of the galactic centre", as stated by 343 Guilty Spark. They were built to stop the parasitic Flood from spreading, should they escape. If the Flood were ever released, it was the responsibility of the Monitor of that Halo to find a "Reclaimer" to fire the ring's ultimate weapon - a device cap ...

| | | | | Halo: Encyclopedia II - Duck Dodgers - Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century Duck Dodgers first appeared in the 1953 cartoon short Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, directed by Chuck Jones. Jones created a spoof of the popular Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Flash Gordon science fiction serials of the 1930s, casting the brash, egomaniacal Daffy Duck as the hero of the story. The cartoon is widely praised as one of the greatest and funniest Warner Bros. cartoons of all time.

The first sequel, also produced by Chuck Jones, was titled Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century and was released in 1980. The plot of this sequel cartoon was nearly a carbon copy of the original, and while it was visually impressive, it was largely disappointing to fans.
The second short, titled Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension, was a 3D cartoon released in 1996 to select venues. These included the flagship Warner Bros. Studio Store in ...
