Indeed it was!
And if you recall, the UNSC and Covenant both have a half. This was recently resolved in Halo: Escalation, where Dr. Halsey set a trap for the UNSC, and got a hold of their half.
Currently in Escalation, Dr. Halsey and Jul have just reached the Absolute Record. Don't know what's gonna go down, but we do know that Halo 5 takes place after the events of Escalation.

What is this Escalation thing you speak of? And, isn't the Janus Key in warframe?
-
Halo: Escalation It's an ongoing Halo comic series. It essentially continues the story of Spartan Ops.

Old post I know but I like looking through to see what I can learn. Only thing that irks me is that they resolved a almost major plot line with the Janus key in a comic....don't get me wrong it's cool and all but what about those of us that don't collect comics? Or those that don't stray outside of DC/Marvel? We don't have a synopsis or anything tying the events together and giving us the conclusion.
-
Then you won't know what happened unless it's summarized elsewhere. Just wait for all four Volumes of Escalation to be released and then buy them in bulk.
-
That's my intention though I feel sorry for those that aren't comic fans and won't buy them unless 343 do a synopsis via Halo channel or on disc for H5.
-
Sounds cool. I've been really interested in the halo series. I think I'll have to go read the books now.
-
While I certainly recommend you get the books, I'd just like to point out that if you're interested in the Absolute Record story arc, Halo: Escalation is a comic series.
-
Oh ok. So for the final question of the night. Do you think Halsey will use the absolute record knowledge to help the covenant instead of the UNSC?
-
No. Although I don't know if she'll help the UNSC with it either. The UNSC certainly doesn't represent humanity as a whole.

Well thanks for all the answers. Can't wait to see the halo 5 story. I'll probably be back for more answers. :)

Certainly!
