Re: Map Descriptions Reveal Two Halos
Posted By: Ain Soph Aur	Date: 9/27/04 1:20 a.m.
In Response To: Map Descriptions Reveal Two Halos (Metatron) : In a recent thread of mine I asked a question of the readers.That question : was, “What is the difference between Human descriptions of Halo when : compared to Covenant descriptions of HALO?” Well, I said I would tell you : guys what I was talking about if no one could provide me with an answer. : Guess what, no one found the answer, and that’s what this thread is : about:) : First off, let me direct your attention back to the question I originally : asked. I was trying to point out that in all the Covenant MP map : descriptions halo is spelled out in all caps ( HALO ), and in all the : Human MP map descriptions halo is spelled out like on would normally ( : Halo ). I was trying to get you guys to look at the different : spelling/usages of the word halo between different species. : For example: "Damnation (Covenant Map) : A covenant structure that was used to control water flow into a section of : HALO." I'm going to piss myself gleefully if this is true. Mostly for a reason I cited here. But my observation on Damnation, if it is indeed on HALO, instead of Halo (I'm giving you the benefit if a doubt here, for both our sakes), is that it's not on a ringworld. Now, people have speculated in the past that not all of the "Halo" installations must necessarily be ringworlds, and this would seem to support that. : "Rat Race (Human Map) : An asymmetrical map which involves some human mining into one of Halo's : hallway system." I remember the last time you brought up Rat Race. I'm still looking for a more detailed explanation of your theories on it =) : You're probably saying to yourself, "Why is this something worth : pointing out?" Well, look at the description of the MP map Chill Out, : which is a Covenant MP map, on b.net's MP maps page. It states, “A : Covenant research facility on HALO, used to analyze Halo’s material.” : Notice that this particular map is the only MP map that uses both forms of : the word halo. This is worth pointing out, because by saying that the : Covenant research facility is located on HALO, and that it’s purpose is to : analyze materials found on Halo, the writer is establishing a difference : in location between the two usages of the word halo. Let me spell it out : for you guys. The writer is discreetly giving us a hint; that hint being, : HALO and Halo are two different Halos! Go back and look at the Chill Out's : description... do you see what I'm talking about? : Before I get ahead of myself, how do I know that Halo is the same as Halo 04, : which is the Halo we play on in Halo CE? Well, the description of Derelict : states, "The second level is the key to this long unused part of the : Halo." If one looks out the window of this MP map they will see : Threshold and Basis, which are the two indiactors that Derilict is located : on Halo 04. So, by using the same usage of the word halo, and then : comparing the surroundings of the map, one can tell that Halo = Halo 04. : Of course, we knew that there were other Halos, but this brings up several : important points. First off, some of the MP maps in the Halo CE were : actually on a different HALO than Halo 04. This brings brings up the : question of how long have the Covenant known about the Halos? If the : Covenant, in fact, have a research facility on a different HALO than Halo : 04, and it’s purpose is to study materials found on Halo 04, then we : should assume that the Covenant have known about the Halos for quite some : time. We should also realize that HALO is probably located much closer to : Covenant controlled space than Halo 04 is, which is why the Covenant most : likely set up base there. : This also brings up questions about the Flood. If the Covenant knew about the : Halos for some time, then why were they so eager to let the Flood loose on : Halo 04? Could it be that the Flood were only kept on Halo 04? I'm willing : to bet that all this will materialize in Halo 2. Remember, we're supposed : to be "taking the fight to the Covenant" in Halo 2. We're also : supposed to be going to another Halo. HALO matches all the foretold : criteria to the exact... coincidence? : If this information holds to be factual, then many new questions may arrise. : Do any of you have some insight to add on to this? As I always say, please : feel free to argue against any of this. This is, after all, just a fans : ideas:) Just for the sake of argument, I'm going to call it a typo. But, as I said before, I hope you're right on this. For one thing, it'll prove something I theorized. For another, I can rub it in with Saint =) So, just for argument's sake, I'm saying it's a coincidence or an error, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong about that. : Thanks for reading, : -Metatron (Eagle 117) Thanks for posting, -Ain Soph Aur (no former alias, future ones pending)
