Rules: I start the game. I will say a crypic phrase or word. This phrase, when dissected is something from Halo 1 or Halo 2 (the game might be expaneded later to include Marathon, or Bungie in general. As of now keep the novels out of the game). Posters need to guess what thing from Halo this is.
The first person to guess correctly gets to make the next cryptic.

Example: I used to do this with friends and Star Wars all the time. This is an example Cryptic.

"The ground sound of discovery."

"The ground" = land
"sound of discovery" = "Oh!"

So, the cryptic means "lando", the leader of cloud city.

Please do not guess wildly. Try to figure it out. If it doesn't make sense, don't post it as a possible answer.

The First Cryptic: "The center of a Samurai sword."

You win that round.

Center = core
samurai sword = katana

core + katana = cortana.

Is it the rocket launcher? There's two barrels. Two rockets to say hi with.

Edit: No, nevermind. It says "different."

If you want to look at it that way, it could be the Warthog, passenger and gunner.

You have to say when a person is incorrect.

I did.

You've got me. Perhaps I'm making this more difficult then it already is.

Is it a cryptic or is it actually a battle that you're thinking of?
