while i was playing campaign mode, on the first level right after you get your pistol from keyes, if you look behind him at the screen displaying informatin, i noticed a panel that said "Trajectory for Halo"
how did they know that the ringworld was called Halo that early? i thought they didnt know that until the third level

hmmmm...... interesting, ive never heard of this before. Possibly a *gasp* careless mistake by bungie?!?! because i think cortana refered to it as a "derelict ring world" in the game somewhere or in the books. Good find! i should check it out

i dont think its original forerunner name is "Halo" i think thats just the humans nickname for it... but yea, i doubt in the middle of a crash coarse like that they would bother giving it a name... that may be used as a supporting fact for champlain/Eagle117 (i forgot which)'s theory about that one guy and his black ops missions... (forgot his name)

Actually it's surprising how fast someone will come up with a name or nickname that sticks with something/someone which was probably the case for Halo, and then Cortana would applied that for the object description, instead of "Stellar Object # whatever...".
