No it isn't. It's Alpha Halo or Halo 04.

This brings up another question:

Ok, the first Halo is "Installation 04" but we refer to it as Alpha Halo, because it's the first we found. If Delta Halo is the second we found, then why isn't it called Beta Halo?

Good question, Snap Dragon.

If the names are military, it wouldn't be Beta, it'd be Bravo.

If the names are scientific, then it would be Beta.

Perhaps the numeric refers to the Forerunners' designation, and the alphabetic refers to the humans' designation.

Perhaps The alphabetic designation has to do with where the Halos are in respect to Earth... like in what galactic quadrant they are.

Sorry, I had to leave immediately after I posted this thread...

The moniter of installation 04 is 343 Guilty Spark. The moniter of Delta Halo is 2401 Penitent Tangent. Stay with me here, but:

7^3=7*7*7=343
7^4=7*7*7*7=2401

In the Greek Alphabet, Delta is the fourth letter, and Gamma comes directly in front of it.

So I propose that the Moniters' numbers are as follows:

Name of Halo/Installation # = Moniter Name

Alpha/01=7 ____________
Beta/02=49 ____________
Gamma/03=343 Guilty Spark
Delta/04=2401 Penitent Tangent
Epsilon/05=16807 ___________
Zeta/06=117649 ___________
Eta/07=823543 ___________

I just wish that Bungie would tell us all the secrets of Halo after Halo3 is released.

jdogmoney, your theory isn't lining up to me.

In Halo 1, the Halo is Alpha / Installation 04 / 343 Guilty Spark.

Yet you have Alpha, 04, and 343 Guilty Spark assigned to three different rings.

Gamma/03=343 Guilty Spark


We know that the Halo that 343 Guilty Spark is on is Installation 04.

Greetings. I am the Monitor of installation 04. I am 343 Guilty Spark.

We also know that 04 is Alpha Halo, as it has been called Alpha Halo by Jason Jones and Installation Alpha by 343 Guilty Spark.


Delta/04=2401 Penitent Tangent


Delta Halo is installation 05.

Greetings! I am 2401 Penitent Tangent. I am the monitor of installation 05.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

Actually:

Halo 1 = Installation 03
Halo 2 = Installation 04

1) Alpha
2) Beta
3) Gamma
4) Delta

The Forerunner designation of Delta Halo is 05, sure, but who says humans are going by the same system?

-blam!- nuts.

i really havnt seen the installation in HALO1 called "alpha"- so does anyone have any real proof. and even if JJ called it alpha, that really doesnt mean didly when it comes down to it.

but i think we are all foregetting how many definitions "delta" has. since i can find no place in halo1 where the ring is named anyhting other than "halo" or "installation 04", those are its only names. whereas in halo2, the level is called "delta halo"...

a delta is the point at which a large river turns into an ocean. which doesnt sound like much, but since your enemies on halo are called "THE Flood", i think we can assume that the corelation in words to bodies of water is more suiting than an off-target numbering system.

i dont really get the whole story beind delta halo, but maybe that has soemthing to do with its namesake. just a thought

What if by Delta it just means the lake formations where the Marines landed(aka a delta). Last time I ckecked where the ODSTs and chief landed it was discribed as a delta formation later in the levels. Just a thought.
