i just read another post that mentioned there was a time travel crystal in one of the books. what's that all about? how does it relate to the story, and what does that imply for the possible plot of halo 3? any ideas?

Yea read the books, you will really get a good understanding of the halo storyline and you might get more out of the game from it ( i know i did, the books are amazing)

Stats Don't Mean Anything If You Cheat

Its a crystal found on Reach that affects slipspace but emits a load of radiation and in slipspace it kinda warps time somehow cos of its gravitational field but its a bit hard to explain read first strike for a better understanding

B a n a n a s

My thoery is that cortana is from the past, and that she has been re-trying to win the war HUNDREDS of times...Shes rampant you may say? well maybe she found a way to stop rampancy while in halo...she had A LOT of time. Regardless, what exactly happened to the crystal? Locklear grenaded it, and its gone?

What did Tarturus give to Truth? The fake crystal Ackerson had?

No. Three or more pieces were squeezed out of the ship and into space where they were recovered by the covenant and brought to Truth. We know that the shards still have some of their powers.

Yeh,. the crystal was grenanded, and the remaining shards that they found were kept, while the other half of the shards were dropped into slipspace from one of the crystals other weird functions. Then, Tarturus had people search the slipspace and they found the other lot of shards. So both sides have half of the crystal. Those shard must've joined together to make a smaller crystal- the one Tarutrus presented to the Prophet.
