[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.

1. Questions must pertain to Halo's story and/or lore in some shape or form.
2. Don't be a jerk.

[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.

How did the prophets race force the elites to join the covenant? In the games they seem like they couldn't even hold a gun.
-
Okay so with the Flood threat still looming over the Galaxy, is there a chance the current factions to defeat it without the use of the Halo rings?

1.) Why didn't the UNSC ever attack Sanghelios during the war? 2.) Favorite halo weapon? 3.) Were the Jackals mercenaries? 4.) Do covenant fleets protect their home planets? 5.) Where did the grunts go after the war since most of their homeplanet was glassed?

Edited by BritLemon: 6/14/2015 1:46:08 AMRight, let's clear something up - Chief's armour design from 3 to 4, and the use of nanotech. Was Chief's armour upgraded by Cortana whilst he was in cryosleep? Because I've just been debating this on /r/Halo. Do you consider the nanotech explanation as canon? The Halo 4: Essential Visual Guide states that his armour was fully updated by Cortana, and that it now resembles an earlier iteration of MKIV. Frankie acknowledges the use of nanotech on his armour by Cortana. Chief wears a [url=http://halo4nation.com/news/halo-bulletin-9-5-12-pax-qa/]"very fancy, very custom, very unique "Cortana special" armor".[/url]

How did Half-Jaw loose his 2 mandibles 7.) How was the Arbiter going to be originally going to be killed? before the prophets changed their minds Btw John's last name is obviously Cena. ;)

Since I'm a fairly average halo fan I am panning to read the books and comics , since I don't have the cash to buy them all so what are the most key/pivotal books and comics and what order should I read them in Thanks in advance

Edited by Maverick_Vision: 6/13/2015 12:51:37 PMAt the end of H3 chief and Arby escape the ark on the FuD but the portal collapses leaving chief stranded Shouldn't he be non-existent as he would have been floating in space next to Installation 04b?
-
This isn't a question more a discussion but the prophets attack on earth was actually instrumental to winning the war Now you might think, " how earth is humanity's home world that just shows humanity is losing blah blah blah" but actually if they had never attacked or never been interested in forerunner tech humanity would be extinct The projects were looking for the portal to the ark, which was in Africa. When it opened all cover forces went through the the portal ( there may have been a few left behind but they would have been killed by unsc) when chief ignited installation 04b it killed all covenant and flood there, thus ending the war

Hype train has left the station.

1.) Why didn't the prophets kill Thel Vaduu'm? He had one of the greatest failures in the covenant. I know the Arbiter I is a mark of shame but seriously.

You should make a YouTube channel and do Lore videos....that seems like something you would be amazing at
