How did it start? In every Halo game, book and anime short there are at least 5 different 7 references minimum.

Bungie's very secret essence. If you speak about it, the Ninjas will take you.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”

The same reason six was afraid of seven.

We do not speak of nine, rest in peace.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

It could be one of two reasons. 7 is a lucky number for gamblers and 7 is a very prominent holy number in biblical theology. Given Bungie's vast religious undertones in their games (not saying they support those religions, but with the Covenant, the Great Journey, a Savior, etc. you can hardly deny their existence), I think it is the latter.

Its because seven was...

Not really. Seven is a popular number for much more than Christianity and gambling, you know.

I would not say that is religious at all, simply borrowing from some of the greatest stories ever told.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

Would this be better suited for Bungie Universe? Or is their obnoxious obsession with 7 not lore?

Love you Bungie :)

Voldemort liked 7 as well.....COINCIDENCE?!
