117 is an important number in halo, but the number 7 is more significant to Bungie's stories. In another Bungie game named Marathon, the number that was often used as a reference to the hero was 819. I believe it was a reference to the characters height in the game engine, and there was a secret level with the number 819 in it. The Master Chief is 7 feet tall, and 819/7=117. The reason seven is a more significant number than 117 is because the number seven is referenced much more by Bungie. If you want to find out more go to http://marathon.bungie.org
