Default Halo!

We've got a lot of games with guns, but this one keeps popping up. Halo. Someone just made a new page and wants help to add pics. I guess he can't search Halopedia to do it himself.

None of the guns have any basis on any real weapons. Even the Halopedia and wikis about the guns of Halo only point out slight similarities to real guns, but nothing from the weapons designer stated he based any of the firearms in real life to Halo.

I don't even think there should be a Halo page for the reasons you've just stated. We can't have every person make a page just because the game is cool or because they like it, especially if the game doesn't have any actual guns. That's my personal take on the matter though.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I was trying to say we should NOT have a Halo page or a page of any game where the guns are not based on real guns! If I see a Battlefield 2142, I will delete it

I concur. If nothing in the game's arsenal is directly based off a real weapon, the page should go.

Well it's gone...again. I am a fan of Halo, but that doesn't mean it deserves a page on the site.
