Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Change to possible explanation.

117 is actually a reference to Hamish Sincliar, the guy who runs the Marathon story pages (Marathon.bungie.org). In Marathon Infinity, there's a part called "Hats off to 819."

Hamish Sincliair= H.S.

H is the eighth letter.
S is the nineteenth letter.

819 divided by seven is 117.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Everything Bungie does seems so complicated at times.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

It might be for any other developer, but not so much Bungie. They're mysterious like that.
