[b][u]Disclaimer[/u][/b]
I am in no way affiliated with 343 Industries or Microsoft Studios. Answers I give are stated in the most accurate way possible. However, this does not indicate what I say is canon. The answers I give are entirely subject to change based on the emergence of new lore or retcons.
[b][u]Guidelines[/u][/b]
1. Questions must pertain to Halo's story and/or lore in some shape or form.
2. Don't be a jerk.
Refusing to abide by the guidelines will result in moderation at a Halo Archive moderator's discretion.
[b][u]Final Note:[/u][/b]
As always, I enjoy and love answering Halo related questions. The fact that the previous Q&A thread lasted a full year is incredible and makes me happy that a significant portion of the Halo community still exists on Bungie.net. So, ask away! (And try and stump me if you can!)
[spoiler]The Halo Archive is a community. A place for Halo fans to come together and discuss their passions. Whether it be Halo or another universe.

Do u think that the Ur-Didact will make an appearance in Halo 6 as a secondary antagonist? Yes, he's still alive. He was composed in the "Next 72 Hours" story arc in Halo: Escalation.
-
How does a Guardian work? It can police with those pulse waves it shoots out?
-
When Cortona sent those spikes into Mantle's Approach, could one of them have made it into the Domain? Are we not seeing the Cortona we know and it's just a rampant one?
-
1.) What is Slipspace? All I know is that the UNSC pretty much punches a hole in space and flies through while the Covenant "find" a rift to travel with. 2.) How long was the P.O.A in slipspace when they traveled to the first Halo? 3.) How long was Blue team stuck in the cavern in the Fall of Reach?
-
Is Sali Nyon alive or something like is he gonna do Cortana's dirty work or something
-
What happens when someone gets "Composed" or when they turn into that orange dust, all I heard was that they turn digital
-
Was there any lore stating that Kelly had a British accent? Or did they just say why not. Also do we know where Vale and Tanaka came from? I know Tanaka is a "backwater" colonist, but are they just soldiers into Spartans? Or do they have a backstory?
-
What's Del Rio's deal with the Spartan-II's? Like, why does he seem to have a personal vendetta against the whole program? He clearly held some animosity toward John aboard Infinity.
-
Was Cortana really cured of Rampancy or do you think she's lying? I'm assuming she's kind of gone rouge, when Chief put her in Halo she was amazed by all the knowledge. Just think of what the Domain does.
-
Is Cortana humming "Olly Olly Oxen Free" at the end of the game?
-
In a battle, who would win, Jun or Romeo?
-
What happened to the Janus Key after H4?
-
Why do the grunts accept being treated so horribly? Why don't they rebel?
-
Is Warden Eternal a legit Forerunner because he looks like a robot
-
Are the ODST helmet and spartan variant the same?
-
Edited by Susano'o: 11/17/2015 10:54:28 AMIs the Warden from the Forerunner Saga the same Warden from H5? And with the ending that they left us after H5, do you think they will be able to expand on the story until H6? (books, short films, etc?)
-
I finally finished Halo 5 on Legendary and I have 2 questions about the ending. [spoiler]Was that Installation 03 at the very end? And what was Cortana humming? For a second it sounded like the Halo monk chant.[/spoiler]
-
I think the didact and the warden are controlling Cortana because there using her to wipe out humanity and is warden eternal a organic forerunner or is he a AI like the monitors.

Edited by Oliver Queen: 11/12/2015 9:55:38 PMAnyone think the halo 5 cortana is gravemind? With the guardians policing each civilization how easy would it be to infect those worlds with flood? She has access to a halo ring which could have flood on it she could release. She also said only the created are the masters of the mantle. Weren't the flood created by the precursors? Also correct me if im wrong but werent the flood able to convert forerunner ai? Gravemind could of made her a contingency plan incase chief won.
-
Edited by ChaosMetalDrago: 11/11/2015 7:30:41 AMWhy does Cortana suddenly hate Halsey? Is the Domain really just a giant collection of Kilo Five E-Books?
-
What is the best armor set, and why is it Hellcat?
-
Who is the best Monitor?
-
Has it ever been explained why every single shield world we've encountered so far has been different from the last? One is a massive slipspace pocket inside a world made of sentinels seen nowhere else. One is a hollow planet with a terra formed interior and a fleet of warships. One is a metal shell surrounding a hollow planet/Promethean fortress. And then another is a metal shell that can break apart and reform into a shell or ring, that originally surrounded a planet. They're somewhat similar, but all are different. The most egregious seems to be Onyx, which is so vastly different in size and construction than any of the others...I just want to know why. And on that topic, has it been explained how the shield world in Halo Wars became host to a massive flood infection? And why the flood never escaped that planet, despite the presence of a gravemind and ships (albeit crashed ones) on the ground?
-
Do you think we'll ever see the drones again? And what us the status of the Yanme'e after the events of Halo 5?
-
How much did the Spartan Suits cost? How much did the Infinity cost?
