I just love how some posters ignore the people that know what their talking about...ahem...Jäger and hangbrain. Stop posting just to see your user name on a website and just read their posts. Then go to the sites they suggest. You may or may not find the answer your looking for or any answer, but in any case it's a lot of bungie history there and you may find something interesting you didn't know before.

Just to go back to a earlier post 13 is unlucky because 12 diciples plus jesus is 13 and jesus was betrayed. It seems that bungie refers to the bible a lot, perhaps the meaning is in there somewhere...

Weird stuff many other people may have noticed:

before brutes were introduced and if you included prophets and engineers from the books there were 7 covenant races

343 is significant cos 3x4=12 an 4+3=7

I know this doesn't explain the significance of 7 but it does bring up some new points to consider, oh and i never said this stuff was significant so more fool you for reading it and thinking 'what a waste of space'!

They picked 7, because 8 is too high, and 6 is too low. Thus 7 is the number that they picked!

Response to snipped post snipped by moderator.

Anyhow, has anyone noticed there are seven different 'templates' so-to-speak in HALO?

"Pillar of Autumn"/"TheMaw"
"HALO"
Truth and Reconciliation"/"Keyes"
"The Silent Cartographer"
"Assault on the Control Room"/"Two Betreyals"
"343 Guilty Spark" (By the way, ahs anyone contemplated the meaning of his name? "Guilty" is one heck of a 'first name,' and what was the whole "Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done?" That line of dialogue has bothered me for a long time.)
and last, but not least, the much hated "The Library".


If you use induction on 343 you find it simplies to 7 (thus the 343 in his name) And "Guilty Spark" was an old slang used to identify someone who 'betrayed one's family".

Good eye, John! I never noticed that. I would like to point out that three or the "templates" are shared between two levels each.
Has anyone pointed out yet that Halo for Xbox featured seven human guns, three covenant ones, and three vehicles in multiplayer?

Is Kerensky your real name? "Arcadia is our birthright and our destiny."

Moderator's note: If you can't be polite, get lost. You're going to get yourself blacklisted if you continue to be a jerk.

Yes, 7 is a special number to Bungie. Yes, there may be a number of reasons why. No, you don't have a right to be a jackass when people try to figure it out. This should be expected discussion on a BUNGIE FAN FORUM. If you can't handle that, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Kerensky is not my real name, but John is (yes, I have the Master Chief's name, arn't I cool? =P) and you nailed where I got it from on the head. Bwahahah, MechWarrior is cool, but on to HALO and 7s.

There are actually seven Covenant weapons too...
Plasma rifle,
plasma pistol,
Needler,
Fuel Rod Gun,
Shade,
Plasma Mortar,
Vehicle-mounted dual plasma prjectors.

Ok, so maybe I'm reaching for it there, leave me alone. ^_^ Anyhow, where do you get seven human weapons? I cound five:
Pistol,
Assault Rifle,
Sniper rifle,
Rocket Launcher,
Shotgun.

If I'm forgetting one I sure look stupid.


By the way, thanks for the explaination on "Guilty Spark" and by golly 7 cubed is indeed 343. That's knida freaky. Nice job bungie. ::thumbs up::


OH OH OH! I just noticed! Tehre are seven voiced, non-main human characters. ::laughs:: Now I'm *really* reaching...the four privates, two sergeants, and the navy crewman. yeah, ok, I'll go back to my hole now.

maybe because halo has a bunch of bible refrences (as so said by many) they are secretly planning on making everyone love god and the bible or somthing.

i'll only say this once, this forum reminds me of the smart geek and the bully. so wheres the wise man?

Congratulations! Youve all finally done it, you seem to have killed off the old guys and the few learned amongst you with your newbie-ism and ignorance.

Now to see how long it takes you to ignore this post and go on with your discussion.

Actually, you're fairly correct. They openly admit it. They're planning to take over the world, and the seventh column is their secret orginization that will become their underground army. oh, and i'm not being sarcsatic, i'm repeating what i've read a million times before, and its all over their manuals and boxes and newsposts.

-Jäger (i'd give a link if i could find one, but i'll just say check your manual for bungie info).
