:::True. Oh I just realized something, I was looking at the pages wrong and didn't do my math. There were 5 good spartans that died asside from DeMarco plus all the caskets have a flag drapped around them. The 2nd panel confused me. So that automatically excludes Scruggs.

== HE Issue 4: Longswords ==
 
Just something I noticed. There are several Longswords that appear in the beginning of issue 4 but seem to disappear later towards the climax of the comic. In fact when the crew is going over the debris there is no mention of Longswords at all. To make it a lil more confusing, I did a once-over of the Spirit of Fire and the ship never carried Longswords. So I have questions: Where did those Longswords come from? Were they merely added just for the hell of it? Or did these "ex-UNSC" dudes steal/take them from somewhere else? Or do they actually belong to the Infinity?--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 19:15, 27 March 2014 (EDT)
 
:It seems like all the enemy ships just went poof before we could tell who was piloting them (assuming they weren't being controlled from afar). If I had to gamble I would say that the Longswords do belong to the Spirit of Fire. Adding Longswords to the SOF's complement would be a trivial issue at worst.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith-venator Wavingstrider</span>]] [[File:Fett helmet.jpg|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Commlink</span>]]) 01:09, 28 March 2014 (EDT)
 
::I won't dare make that edit. Agreed though, like magic those ships just vanished right after the Pilgrims Pride was shoved out the ''Infinity''. They were retreating, yet they had nowhere to go. We know the Longsword is rated for space travel but not the Vulture nor Sparrowhawk. Suicide pilots? Of course if they were remote controlled than maybe but then why would a remote controlled vehicle need to retreat? And even then the ''Infinity'''s defenses would've destroyed anything trying to run. Nonetheless, that's the main reason why I was so confused by those scenes. Honestly, the panels in the front should have been placed right when the battle started rather than 74 hours after. Seemed unnecessary since that whole battle last but a second.  Also not much art was placed on the air battle, it merely resembled background battles like in Halo 3 & Reach, totally opposite from what is shown on the cover. Still it was an interesting scene.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:23, 28 March 2014 (EDT)
 
== Separate factions? ==
 
Would the Sangheili, Unggoy, and Lekgolo rebels on High Charity be considered a separate faction (those seen on the Gravemind level)? I really like what you've guys done with the factions updates (i.e Thel Vadam's Covenant Prehistoric Human Civilization, etc.) and I was wondering if the rebels (Sangheili, Unggoy, and Lekgolo)on High Charity (Halo 2, Gravemind level)during initial break of the Great Schism would be considered their own faction? Since they were lead to believe the Arbiter was killed and the Councilors missing/killed and lacked a specific leadership either be an individual or group, it would be similar to Xytan's alliance, although like the Joyous Exultation Alliance this faction did not last either. {{Unsigned|96.244.99.79}}
 
:I'd say they probably lacked leadership. They were just "some" of the Covenant and hadn't form a new faction yet. [[User:Imrane-117|Imrane-117]] ([[User talk:Imrane-117|talk]]) 14:39, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 
== Hunters not listed? ==
 
I was reading the Hunter (Mgalekgolo) page and was wondering why the type of hunters mentioned in Halo: Contact Harvest were not listed in the ranks section? In Halo: Contact Harvest, page 266, second paragraph, their is a mention of a another type of Hunter with a different colored armor guarding the entrance to the Forerunner Dreadnought on High Charity. It reads "Spotting the two San'Shyuum, the Mgalekgolo shifted into defensive formations, their fluted, deep-purple armor flashing in the beacons pulse." I know their has been no canonical explanation even for the Gold hunters in Halo 3:ODST, but I was just curious why these "sentries" would be left out of the page thanks for all the help and awesome work you guys and gals do on this site! {{Unsigned|96.244.99.79}}
 
== Merge? ==
 
Can someone fuse the Randall Aiken page with Randall-037's Page? Not sure where I should have posted the title's request.{{Unsigned|Izanagi}}
:The articles will not be merged unless there is a confirmation from the developers that the two are the same person. Also, such a request should be placed on the article's talk page.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 00:33, 23 October 2014 (EDT)
 
== Seige Bike ==
 
I understand this is just a model (made with ample artisitc freedom I may add) but how could the Siege Bike turn? It would be impossible. [[User:KhevaKins|KhevaKins]] ([[User talk:KhevaKins|talk]]) 00:48, 1 January 2015 (EST)
 
:It can't turn at all - just forward and reverse, unless it had directional thrusters or something to get it to move in another direction since the single tread can't do it.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 05:48, 1 January 2015 (EST)
 
== when did Humans evolve? ==
 
It's been said that Humans evolved on Earth around 200,000 BCE but they were an interstellar empire in 1.1 million BCE how is this so and should we add put that Humanities '''POSSIBLE''' home world is Earth and not home world: Earth?{{Unsigned|Primordial}}
:As far as I'm aware, there's never been any indication that humanity's homeworld is something other than Earth. It is known that early humanity had several dark ages, in which they lost their historical records (which included the record of their homeworld). I'm not sure where this 200,000 BCE date is coming from.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 12:39, 24 January 2015 (EST)
:The 200,000 BCE date was due to fossil records. They still originated on Earth either way.--'''''[[User:Killamin7i|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin</span><span style="color:red; font-family: Arial;">7</span><span style="color:black; font-family: Arial;">i</span>]]''''' [[User talk:Killamin7i|<font color="Gray">/\</font>]] 17:37, 24 January 2015 (EST)
 
== What's the first mention of "John-117"? ==
 
Throughout the first game (Halo: Combat Evolved) the Master Chief is never referred to as John-117, right?
I need to know when and where it was revealed that this was his actual 'name'.

== Does anybody know about the new banished ranks or are we all in the dark about this topic? ==
 
Hey, just curious if anybody knows about these new ranks. I’ve counted about 6 grunt ranks, 4 jackal ranks, 2 hunter and skimmer ranks, 5 elite ranks and I think 15 different brute ranks. If anybody has any information about these new ranks can you please tell me? Thank you!{{Unsigned|TheWeirdHumanCreature}}
:Currently, a lot of ranks are able to be extracted from game files. However, 343 has stated these don't match up with their lore titleage - the upcoming Encyclopedia will be remedying this.[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 18:38, February 4, 2022 (EST)
 
== Why Halo Infinite's Mark V[B] core and its helmets are not considered GEN3 in this wiki ? ==
 
I mean,343 said that the Mark V[B] core was upgraded to the GEN3 platform, so why Chief's and Blue Team's Mark VI core is considered GEN3 but the Mark V[B] core is not ?
:Grim said it was upgraded GEN1, not that it's GEN3. Just to use an example the prototype Mark VI helmet is an old helmet that's recently been upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3, the GEN3 Mark VI is a totally new suit of armor.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 18:28, March 14, 2022 (EDT)
 
== What is Your Favorite Spartan Team? ==
 
Any Halo fans who want to discuss the topic of what your favorite spartan team is send me a message and we can talk about that and anything else.
