Also whats the purpose of the firing order names? What does it matter which order they fired? Is it just that Delta Halo sounds cooler then 04 or something

    Wait, I thought it was a simultaneous firing?! Though since the new Shepards of the Halo Franchise have proven themselves to be pants-on-head incompetent, the lore of Halo now seems to be worth less than the spit wasted taking about it.

    IIRC the number is the order it was built (like a serial number) and the greek letters were specifically the order they would have fired when triggered from the Ark. Each ring could also be triggered individually, which would break the ‘designated’ order.

    You’re farther in than I am. My buddy and I just ran all of 1, 2, and 3 and feel like we know the bare basics of what’s going on. I also now understand why Halo 3 was such a big deal after the cliffhanger in 2. Neat stuff.
