Well How were Halos 1, 2, and 3 the bible; and how was Halo 3 ODST Dante's inferno first of all?

Too many things to tell, go look it up somewhere.

ODST is simple, first off there is Virgil the Huragok who represents Virgil from Dante's Inferno. You play as "Dante" in ODST...not by name of course, but by representation. You scour the city's 8 "Circles" or areas, like the 9 circles of Hell, except the city is the first 8 while the Data Hive level is the 9th circle.

Well, I would say the Norse Event - Ragnarök. Technically, it DID happen to the Norse; all Gods and Magic died during Ragnarök.

Interesting...well now that I think of it, GUNGIR (SP?) armor is shown in Reach and GUGIR is the spear of Odin, who is a Norse god I believe?

Chief of the Norse Gods, to be exact. Odin only had one eye, hence GUNGNIR helmets being one eyed.

I still think Reach is Ragnarök.

Actually Halo CE was god, the games came from the bible.

Hehe, religion.....

Wow, you're right... Spartans are the Norse Gods, the Covenant are the Giants and theres all that about GUNGNIR and the Spartan Laser.

Clever.

My jokes, so I don't lose them (ignore this):
ZedFish's Opinion on Sgt. Foley.
ZedFish's Forerunner Rickroll.

Thermopylae? (Though that was a battle, and not a religious reference)

I might add, MJOLNIR was Thor's hammer.

Also, Ragnarök is the purge password for Halsey's data, at the end of her Journal. I'm almost positive Yggdrasil is also referenced somewhere, regarding Reach.
