*Originally Dr. Halsey was not meant to lose her arm in ''[[S1/Exodus|Exodus]]''. The writers later decided to remove her arm to add a sense of ambiguity as to who Halsey wanted revenge on.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/27/The-Halo-Bulletin-22713.aspx '''Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 02.27.13'']</ref> | *Originally Dr. Halsey was not meant to lose her arm in ''[[S1/Exodus|Exodus]]''.

*Catherine Halsey is also a character in the 1943 novel, The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, which is presumably where she got her name from. In the novel Halsey progresses into becoming an altruist, thinking of nothing other than the greater good of the majority. In this sense, she is an opposite of the Halsey of the Halo universe. Dr. Halsey begins by sacrificing the Spartans to buy the UNSC more time, but then changes her mind and does everything she can to save the Spartans, regardless of what happens to the rest of humanity. | |||
