It would feel...predictable if he died,yet predictable if he lived. I would rather have a limbo in between where we really question his final fate. An ending that is open to interpretation, but not so much as to require a secondary story to close it.

Yes, so those who want him to be dead, can say he is dead. The MC fanboys/girls who want him to not be dead and to have floated off to some magical fairytale forerunner land with unicorns and angels, can say that he did so and ascended to god-hood, in the very highly unlikely situation...

Removes helmet, shows face, gets killed. (either by the creator of the 19 halo rings (clone maybe) or john possibly hits a button and kills EVERYONE to save them from all the pain/torture of something or someone important to the reclaimer trilogy)


would be a 10/10 ending to one of the best stories ever told.

7 plus the 12 original rings

I believe a few original Halos went through the portal at the capital and survived, so not really 19.

I just said the creator of the rings on how many there is


EDIT:
I'm willing to bet that the world is a weapon, control room or library as it is called reclaimer trilogy. As well as the DNA facility.

7 were fleeing to the portal whilst the other 5 were charging up under the control of Mendicant Bias. 1 of MB's rings was destroyed and only 1 Halo made it through the portal nexus in 1 piece, the other 6 were badly damaged and were flotaing above the Ark.

I can't remember what happened to the other 4.

  • 12.30.2011 2:39 PM PDT

Wait, 19 rings? I was under the impression that there were 12 rings, and five were lost.

My above post, read it, Wolvers. :P

Twelve Halos. Five under MB. Seven head towards the portal. One of MB's is destroyed. Eleven Halos, four under MB, seven heading towards the portal. One Halo enters the Portal. A Fortress-class ship comes through and destroys one of the fleeing Halos [i]not[i] under MB. Ten Halos; one on the other side of the Portal, five heading towards it, four under MB.

I think a safe assumption would be that at the end of it all, only seven remain. The seven we hear of in the main trilogy. Remember the Ark's control room; in the hundreds of years of the war, 00 must have been reprogrammed to accommodate for seven rings, hence the seven holographic representations.

I suppose it's possible some Halo rings are lost. But saying there are 19 is just silly.

I think it is silly to be stating any time of numbers right now.

We know there are hundreds of shield worlds,the Line installations, dozens of halos, and i'll even say there are other arks (not that large though since that was the librarians).

The forerunners build in numbers, wo while we know there were 19 total rings, we can't say the 7 we know of are the only ones. There could be halo's that are off the chart or some other crazy random example.

  • 12.30.2011 4:25 PM PDT

Can someone get me a source for wherever it's stated there are 19 rings? You don't all think the rings in Cryptum are different to those in the Halo trilogy, do you?

The 12 original then the 8 at the Ark at the end of the book. I say 8 because didact said there was a ring around each arm of the ark or something like that.

So that is 20 total rings. I don't think there are different, i am just trying to clarify the numbers. Though we cannot confirm anything until their size is given.

Slowly it dawned on me that I was
looking upon another array of installations: six rings, each rising from one of the
petals of an enormous flower.


You're counting the main band of the Ark as two arms. There are six rings at the Ark, and I'm of the opinion that these six are replicas of the six not under MB's control, which I believe were destroyed at the battle for the capital. These replicas were spawned whilst Bornstellar and the others slept after going through the Portal.

I'm sure there are only 12 rings.

So if 343i consider books cannon 20 and if not 19 simple as that then just ask 343i if books are cannon to them and we will all know whether its 19 or 20. But if it says instillation not halo rings it is 19 as the ark is instillation 00. Not saying your wrong just saying the minimum in 343i halo cannon is 19.

And why would Chief be fighting the Forerunners (as that's what it seems to me you're implying by suggesting the creator of the Halos as a possible killer)? And I don't think that Chief would end the world, knowing him and Cortana they'd come up with a third option (like they always do) and stop whatever it is that needs stopping to the best they possibly can.

  • 12.30.2011 5:44 PM PDT

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I think he should stay alive. Maybe they should let Cortana go.

MB can only control 5 rings, he tried controlling 6 but it was fighting his control. You do understand they couldn't have created those rings in the timespan Bornstellar got there right?

  • 12.30.2011 6:10 PM PDT

I don't know. I mean, it took less than two months for 04 to be rebuilt and that was 100,000 years later without all the Lifeworkers and Monitors at full capacity.

The commuting time between entering the Portal at Voi and arriving at the Ark was tiny, but that could be because Earth is closer to the Ark than the Capital. Bornstellar's travel-time could have been a month, especially since their tiny shuttle was just drifting and a Halo was being simultaneously transported, which could have slowed the whole process down.

I just find 18 Halo rings a little... absurd, to be honest. We need to properly work this all out. Maybe Primordium will make things clearer.

I'll agree for now, it never hurts to wait for more info.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

- 11 Rings at the Capital, MB arrives with the rogue Ring.

- MB commandeers another 4, he prepares to fire them (5 under his control in total).

- 7 flee to the portal.

- Forerunner fleets attack the Halos, Monitors of MB's Installations begin counter-offensive with Sentinels.

- 2 of MB's Halos destroyed by heavy bombardment, leaving 3 under his control, the other 7 still fleeing to portal.

- 1 of the 7 makes it through unscathed, 6 remaining.

- The second Ring is destroyed by the arrival of a Fortress-class ship, 5 Forerunner-controlled Halos remaining, 3 of MB's still active.

- 5 Forerunner-controlled Halos make it through, though extremely badly damaged.

- 6 Halos arrive at the Ark.
Slowly it dawned on me that I was looking upon another array of installations: six rings, each rising from one of the
petals of an enormous flower.


- 3 Halos unaccounted for.

There are so many Halo rings now it is ridiculous. My god 343 what have you done to Halo... ?

There are 12, obviously we know we're going to end up with 7 so nothing is changing.

Just get out of my thread, nobody wants you here. -_-
