Which sounds better, Alpha Halo, Beta Halo, Gamma Halo, Delta Halo, Epsilon Halo, Zeta Halo, Eta Halo...or.... Alpha Halo, Bravo Halo, Charlie Halo, Delta Halo, Echo Halo, Foxtrot Halo, Golf Halo....
Neither sound that great. I doubt bungie would throw in a Zeta Halo or a Golf Halo. Perhaps bungie never planned for us to visit all 7 halo's, so they just picked out random names that sounded best. How else do you justify instillation 04 being named Alpha, and instillation 05 being Delta? I have a stong feeling that most of the halo's will go unmentioned. Further proof of this is the Monitors.
The monitor of instillation 04 is 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of instillation 05 is 2401 Penetient Tangent. 343 is 7^3, and 2401 is 7^4, so the monitor's number is 7 to the power of the instillation number minus one. Meaning the monitor of instillation 01, is 7^0 or 1, and the monitor of instillation 07 is 7^6 or
117649. I am assuming we won't ever meet them, since their numbers would be cumbersome and sound odd.
You could be correct on the names being to cumberson, however, as a military force knowing of 7 Halos in existance, they would have given them names whether we visit them or not. So in that case, it would make sense for them to name the Halos is some reasonable fashion, rather than just random, or what sounded good.
In the Halo Universe, I am sure they all go along with one of the two alphabets, be it Greek or Military, and make sense as to why 04 is Alpha and 05 is Delta, but I think Bungie just used the ones that sound good for the ones we will see.
