at first i didnt think there would be other halos and i thought that the name halo2 was purely for recognition purposes but i then noticed that in the level 2 betrayals or in the flood book when john , cortana and 343 guilaty spark are talking... the forerunner ai mentions that "this installation has a range of 25000 light years but when the OTHERS follow suit, the galaxy will be quite devoid of life"... i know you guys probably know this already and are about to spam me into oblivion but i was just wondering if any one has any idea how these other halos will come into play in the halo2 storyline....... more haloes = more flood....... i can safely say that the galaxy will become once again in danger of the flood and MC will have to confront the forerunner and aquire there aid or ancient technologie......... any thoughts please share.......

Well you admit you expect to get spammed.

Anyway yes there have been interviews and other things that hint to another halo in halo 2. It may even be confirmed. I need to go back and reread everything again.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

The Halos are basically military installations to protect the galaxy. Why would they design several different types? It would make more sense to have them all constructed the same (ie in the shape of a ring). They Halos may have different flora and fauna though.

[color="orange"]Dimensions of the Milky Way Galaxy:
* 100,000 ly diameter
* 300 ly thickness
* 16,000 ly radius bulge at the galactic center

The Milky way Galaxy can be considered a disk with a spherical bulge at the center. [/color]

[color="violet"]
Placement of Halos:
* 1 at the galactic center for the bulge
* 4 on the x-axis 25,000 ly from the galactic center
* 8 on the x-axis near the edged of the galaxy[/color]

Well the dimensions of the galaxy are known and the other is just the minimum number of Halos to cover our galaxy. There very well be more, but my theory is that the Forerunners at least made 13.
