At the start of the
Encyclopedia's review I fully confessed that I was a complete noob when it came to the Halo universe outside of the games, and to be perfectly clear I still am a noob as it will take many
readings of both this guide and the
Encyclopedia to let the information sink in.
However, since my knowledge of the universe is still shaky at best I often found myself getting a little annoyed at the constant mention of dates and events, usually resulting in me consulting the
Encyclopedia so that I could
read the entry with better context.
Despite the fact that many people seem to believe this is merely an updated
Encyclopedia, the layout of the pages, alphabetically organised entries, compact design and focus on the games and not the overall universe all clearly indicate that this isn't a book intended to be
read from cover to cover, though it can be, but rather a reference book to be kept close at hand while your playing the games so that you can quickly and easily look up an entry that caught your eye in the game.

reading and reviewing the revised Halo
Encyclopedia I at least felt a touch more confident regarding my basic knowledge of the Halo universe going into this review.
