Re: Delta Halo

In Response To: Re: Delta Halo (Schedonnardus)

: Is "Alpha Halo" ever used in game or in any official Bungie
: materials? I'm not all that up to date prolly, but the only place I have
: ever heard people use the term Alpha halo was on the forums; like it was
: merely created to denote between Halo 1 and Halo 2.

: The fact is 343 says "Greetings. I am the Monitor of installation 04. I
: am 343 Guilty Spark." and 2401 says "Greetings! I am 2401
: Penitent Tangent. I am the monitor of installation 05."

: So why is installation 4 referred to as Alpha Halo, and installation 5
: referred to as Delta Halo? You could argue that Halo 04 was called Alpha,
: b/c it was the first Halo discovered, but then that would mean that 05
: should be Beta Halo.

: We know that the Covenant haven't been to the Beta or Gamma Halo, otherwise,
: they wouldn't have needed 343 to find Delta Halo. In the cutscence before
: Sacred Icon, they maintained their faith that other rings would be found.
: They used 343 in order to find them.

: So either somebody at bungie doesn't know their greek numerals very well,
: delta means "change" and Alpha was fan-added, or ONI has been to
: all the Halos and Delta is the designation for the 4th ring that they
: explored.

I believe "Alpha Halo" was used by an employee of Bungie in an interview a long time ago. This is just from memory, though, searching for "alpha halo" doesn't seem to bring it up.
