According to a new Halo Waypoint Canon Fodder update, the Silver Team Spartans now officially exist in the Prime Halo universe, and actually appear in Halo Wars no less

See in the Halo Wars mission Arcadia Outskirts you encounter Omega Team, a six-Spartan unit, half of Omega Team was established in Halo Wars 2 DLCs to be August-099, Leon-011, and Robert-025, but the other half was left unnamed, until now

Apparently the latest Intel on Halo Waypoint brought up the topic of how Jun got off Reach.

We didn’t learn anything new but it did allude to the events of A Fistful of Arrows.

So that’s something.

We still don’t know exactly how he got off the planet.

Aside from some offhanded remarks by Frank O’Connor about him climbing up a deactivated orbital elevator. Now I’d LOVE to see that.

Absolute mad lad! It does sound like something he’d do.

“What do you mean the elevator is offline? Well now what are we gonna do? Climb?!”

“What a splendid idea!”

I like to think it involves a bit of both. Followed by something crazy. No I can’t elaborate. Because I can’t think of what that would be.

Does anyone know if Waypoint is going to archive these events and lore and short stories? I'm worried since they just got rid of forums. Halopedia is already full of dead links because they don't keep things on Waypoint for long.

I am hit with the INTENSE desire to organize some kind of Forerunner Saga fic exchange!! But first I want to guage interest and see if there's... even enough people on the internet who like the Forerunner Saga to do such a thing?

So if you're interested, let me know! Tell your Forerunner friends! This is just an interest check, no need to commit.

"Halo: First Strike" by Eric Nylund

“Halo: First Strike” by Eric Nylund

Halo: First Strike is a fast-paced and action-packed novel that continues the story of the popular video game series, Halo. Set after the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, the book follows the human supersoldier Master Chief and his team as they confront the alien alliance known as the Covenant and the mysterious Flood. One of the standout features of this novel is its well-developed characters…

anyone else call cortana ‘courtney’ affectionately (and sometimes derogatorily depending on the game) or is that just me???

halo lost track of ai generations.

(i, on the other hand, have lost all control of my life.)

all recent smart ais in lore are identified as 5th generation as recently and authoritatively as the 2022 encyclopedia. black box is 4th generation. cortana has been identified as 3rd generation since halsey's diary at the very least, and even if it's not set in stone earlier (digging through digital copies of fall of reach and first strike is dicey if the copy doesn't identify which edition it is) it's supported by ackerson's ai araqiel and blood line/saint's testimony character iona both being specifically identified as 3rd generation.

however, ghosts of onyx also established a 5th generation ai, deep winter, that had been in service in the 2530s (and this longevity is canon as of infinite-era lore, see link.)

(2009 encyclopedia also names deep winter's predecessor eternal spring as a 5th generation ai, but 2009 encyclopedia is noted to be suspect on some details/assumptions and to have borrowed fan speculation from halopedia.)

this would mean the "top of the line" of smart ai tech is 20+ years old, which is hilarious but also strikes me as unlikely.

so. here's what i think happened.

i think 5th generation being called out in ghosts of onyx is legitimately a fluke that was forgotten about, or slated to be corrected in a later printing that never happened due to some combination of the shuffle of establishing 343i/halo cutting nylund off/maybe someone sitting down and looking at the inconsistencies between ghosts of onyx and halo reach and deciding maybe they should just gently nudge it all under the rug and pretend it's not there.

then, the kilo five author (notoriously not somebody who sticks to lore of established franchises and who was probably just going off a then-recently-established list of details when 343 commissioned her) established black box as 4th gen following the logic that this would make him the next better step after cortana, who was firmly established as 3rd gen at that point.

now, because this is how making numbers bigger works, everybody's 5th gen.

...and i think it's possible someone by now has noticed this, because if you look back at concurrent material (like waypoint's old character profiles) for halo 5, cortana's generation is just quietly not mentioned. (this is also true of 2022 encyclopedia.)

i think it's just a straight up oversight that ended up unsolvable because it got ingrained in some firmly-established materials and now, because just-not-mentioned isn't enough to discredit an old detail to a fandom/especially to a wiki, it's just kind of like this.

but, as an in-universe idea, it's very funny to me because you can also go:

oh, catherine halsey was so particular about her smart ai design that she built her magnum opus on top of 20+ year old architecture because she didn't like two whole generations of volitional ai development and did a shit ton of custom work.

there's something fun about that as a thought, to me.

#halo lore #cortana #smart ais #catherine halsey #this would also make black box one of the last guys pushing the most out of his architecture maybe #which is also funny to me #the best i can do for araqiel and iona? #made cheaper i guess #just because a new tech exists doesn't mean old tech all goes to the landfill instantly

Haven't had a whole lot of time to sketch due to work and...binge playing Helldivers 2. The game's so much fun!

HALO: BATTLE FOR THE BLOOD-MOON

2560. The Banished have come to Suban, the blood-moon of Sanghelios, seeking to claim the unique natural resource within its vast mines: the beautiful but volatile Subanese crystals. The Swords of Sanghelios and their Spartan allies face an overwhelming force on the ground, while a Sangheili shipmistress in the skies above seeks to find a weakness in the enemy’s armor that might turn the tide against these invaders.
