Talk:Installation 08

This is like Star Wars VI in that it is an unfinished superweapon capable of firing.

Who calculated the size becuase if it is a replacement for 04 shouln't it have a Diameter of 10,000 kilometers (6,210 miles)? ProphetofTruth 20:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

UNSC Fireing The Halo?
I thought the UNSC was trying to stop the halos not activate them

Spartan-117 activates halo to cause a local pulse to eliminate the local flood infestation. --Ajax 013 22:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone else think that this article should be merged with installation 04, or should we leave it as is?Covenant Ghost 02:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * That same question came up on the original 04 page and they decided were against it, if I memory right --MCDBBlits 22:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * They are two different distinct Halos, thus two different articles. -- E D [[Image:ArmyROTC.gif|15px]] 06:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Probable taken time
Isn't that a speculation? Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan Contribution 13:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Indeed it is but I though it was useful and overlooked, that people don't really know anything about. I mean we all know what installations do, the environment and stuff like that, but we don't know the time taken to do this in, (you could say that is speculation what the environment on each ring is like) --Megidra 22:36, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

343 Rampancy
I think we can remove the speculation of 343 being programed to protect the installation above all else. If the forerunners decided to use a last ditch galactic annihilation approach its safe to presume they value containing flood over protecting their installations as evidenced by the Ark's programing to build more in the event of one's demise.

But the Ark was put in danger, without it no new Halos could be built. Also, you need to sign your posts. Smothmoth 22:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

what i don't understand...
is why it was out of range of the other instilations. why would it be made that way?
