Caleb Vale (civilian identification 78104-985-RBA8774), born Caleb F. Aagard, was a candidate for the SPARTAN-II program, though he eluded his captors. Had he been conscripted, his official designation would have been Caleb-095. Caleb eventually became a Slipstream space|slipspace Slipspace drive|drive technician and a devoted pacifist. Later on, he married Nerina Vale who gave birth to their daughter, Olympia Vale.
Biography
Caleb Aagard was born on 2511|May 16, 2511 in Newport on Luyten in the Luyten 726-8 system. He grew up in the city of Old Willem, at 22 Hunnestad Road. During his childhood, he suffered a head injury due to a farming accident. Neuroimaging of Caleb's brain conducted after the incident confirmed a neural network accretion often associated with intuitive behaviorcommonly called "precognition". On account of his exceptional attributes, Caleb was selected as a candidate for the SPARTAN-II program. However, he was never located during the attempted abduction. Doctor Catherine Halsey blamed this on failings in the mission, denouncing the rumor about his supposed prescience.
Caleb eventually changed his name to Caleb Vale and became a Slipstream space|slipspace Slipspace drive|drive technician and married Nerina Vale with whom he had a daughter, Olympia Vale, on 2536#January|January 20, 2536. A devoted pacifist, Caleb refused to work on military vessels. This, combined with the fact that Nerina was recently promoted to Captain (NAVCOM)|captain in UNSC signal intelligence and reassigned to UNSC High Command|High Command on Earth, lead to Caleb and Nerina getting divorced after one last family camping trip to Luyten's Hoodoo Gorges on 2547#January|January 10, 2547. The divorce was completed just ten days latercoincidentally on Olympia's eleventh birthday. Mother and daughter boarded a diplomatic shuttle for Earth, only to have a six-day trip turn into a six month trip due to a slipspace drive failure. Olympia would suspect her father of having somehow sabotaged the shuttle in a last-ditch effort to keep his family on Luyten, but Nerina dismissed the idea so scornfully that Olympia concluded that it was a dumb idea until after the Battle for Earth.
Following Nerina's death in the Battle for Earth, Olympia attempted to contact her father to let Caleb know that his ex-wife had died in the Covenant attack. However, Olympia learned that Caleb Vale didn't exist. Through her ONI connections, Olympia discovered that Caleb Vale was actually a false identity assumed by Caleb Aagard who had been born on Luyten in the same year as her father, but the trail then ran cold. The only note in Caleb's file was that he had refused conscription in 2517 and then vanished. When Olympia tried to find a ghost file that would explain the discrepancy, her superior claimed that it was simply a case of father and son having the same name, and then advised her in a tone that suggested that the "advice" came from someone far above both of their heads to stop wasting ONI resources and devote herself to her proper assignment. Subsequently, Olympia stopped poking around ONI's files regarding anyone from Luyten and started searching for more subtle ways to find out her father's true identity. However, the Created uprising came and Olympia could no longer be sure that the information still existed or that she would be able to access it even if it did. The revelation by Benjamin Giraud|a rogue journalist that the Spartan-IIs had been conscripted as six-year-olds caused Olympia to deduce that her father really was Caleb Aagard and that he'd fled conscription as a Spartan. By 2559#November|November 2559, Olympia had still not been able to locate Caleb, although she was determined to find him and get closure and answers from her father.
Personality and traits While evaluating his aptitudes, Doctor Catherine Halsey regarded Caleb as extremely intelligent, namely scoring a 161 on the Finchy-Franks Intelligence Quotient. Like each candidate for the SPARTAN-II program, Caleb boasted superior strength and speed than his peers, along with a remarkable intellect and cognitive absorption rate. However, he was very self-sufficient and introverted.While neuroimaging conducted on his brain confirmed that Caleb had a neural network formation often associated with intuitive behavior, Halsey criticized the claims that he maintained limited precognition. As an adult, Caleb worked as a slipspace drive technician and claimed to be a devoted pacifist that wanted nothing to do with the military. How much of his pacifism was real is unknown as he may have been avoiding the military out of fear of being discovered due to his past as an attempted Spartan conscript.
Olympia Vale suspected that Caleb may have been somehow responsible for the slipspsace drive failure that had stranded Olympia and her mother for six months in a last-ditch effort to keep his family on Luyten, but Nerina Vale dismissed the notion so scornfully that Olympia concluded that it was a dumb idea until she learned of her father's past. While it's unknown if Caleb was actually responsible or not, he would undoubtedly have the skills to do it as a slipspace drive technician.

Calid was a Jiralhanae who served aboard the Covenant Covenant cruiser|cruiser ''Rapid Conversion'' in 2525. He was a part of Maccabeus' pack, but he had not earned his masculine "us" suffix, which is awarded to a Jiralhanae upon reaching adulthood.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 310''
Biography
Calid was a part of Maccabeus' pack and served on the Covenant cruiser ''Rapid Conversion''. After recovering the Deacon Dadab and Huragok Lighter Than Some, the crew of the ''Rapid Conversion'' discovered the human agriculture world|agricultural colony of Harvest in the Epsilon Indi system. Maccabeus assessment of the planet with the ships Luminary showed thousands of relics, but the devout Chieftain was soon shocked to learn that Dadab believed that there was an Monitor|oracle located on the planet. After Skirmish on Minor Transgression|a violent encounter with the Kig-Yar, the humans on Harvest sent the ship's crew a message, detailing that humans wanted peace and wished to give the aliens a peace offering.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 229''
After the hostilities between the humans and the Covenant began, Calid arrived to pick up Dadab in a Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropship from the Unggoy outpost on the Tiara and deliver him to Maccabeus in the cruiser, as the Deacon claimed he had important news for the Chieftain. Calid, however, had to wait to return to the cruiser's hangar bay because the Yanme'e were attacking Lighter Than Some. Later, Calid had to return both Dadab and the Huragok back to the Tiara.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 317''
He was most likely killed during the engagement on the Tiara by a member of the Harvest militia group.

A call sign is a nickname used to identify a military pilot. The use of call signs has existed for almost as long as there has been aviation, from the pilots of Earth's World Wars to modern D77-TC Pelican|Pelican pilots.
A pilot's call sign is used primarily in radio conversations. Though strictly unofficial, these names are adopted almost like a second name for the person they are attached to and thus, they are usually given by other pilots or coworkers. Each name varies and the reasons they are given vary as well.

The ''Callisto'' Incident was a violent encounter between forces of the Unified Earth Government and local terrorists from Levosia in the 26 Draconis system, ultimately inflaming violence across the Outer Colonies and triggering the Insurrection. While patrolling the 26 Draconis system, the corvette conducted an inspection aboard a merchant ship that turned tragically violent when shots were fired, resulting in thirty deaths.
''Callisto'' would later be hijacked by terrorists, forcing the United Nations Space Command to respond by deploying a battle group of three destroyers. The following engagement resulted in the destruction or crippling of all four warships involved, with ''Callisto'' disabled by the destroyer under the command of Lieutenant Preston Cole.
Prelude In 2494|January 2494, the distant Outer Colony of Levosia in the 26 Draconis system was suspected of diverting refined Wikipedia:Selenium|selenium and Wikipedia:Technetium|technetiumutilized in the manufacture of Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Enginesto the black market to yield massive profits. Aside from lost taxes, the Unified Earth Government realized that it could not allow slipstream space engine components to fall into the hands of the growing Insurrectionist|rebellious factions throughout the Outer Colonies; in response, the United Nations Space Command sought to investigate the matter. The UNSC's Central Command ordered the UNSC Navy to blockade and search all ships in the 26 Draconis system for suspected contraband.
The incident
The corvette was patrolling the 26 Draconis system, when the corvette stopped and performed a routine inspection of a trading vessel by Naval boarding|boarding the ship and searching its cargo. The merchant crew of the vessel was nervous due to rumors of impressments during similar searches in the Outer Colonies. Some at Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI would later suspect that this rumour was deliberately started by rebel sympathizers. The inspection went tragically awry when a weapon was drawn and shots were exchanged, resulting in the deaths of three naval officers and twenty-seven merchant crewmen; no contraband was located on the trading vessel. This incident sparked outrage throughout the entire 26 Draconis system and the rest of the region.
Thirty-seven days later, ''Callisto'' ordered a similar merchant ship to stand by and allow an inspection and the crew of the trading vessel courteously allowed naval officers to board. However, when the officers entered the cargo bay, they found it empty. Suddenly, the Blast door|bay doors opened and the officers were ejected into space. The "merchant" crew then boarded the unsuspecting ''Callisto'' and murdered the remainder of her crew. ''Callisto'' was now hijacked by local terrorists, with her computer system gutted and replaced. As the terrorists began using ''Callisto'' against UNSC forces in the system, the UNSC responded aggressively, sending a battle group of three Unidentified UNSC light destroyer class|light destroyers tasked with locating ''Callisto''. The battle group was led by Captain Harold Lewis of , and also consisted of and .
On 2494|March 2, 2494, ''Las Vegas'', ''Buenos Aires'', and ''Jericho'' arrived in the 26 Draconis system; the battle group soon located ''Callisto'' at 0315 Military Standard Time|MST. Realizing that the UNSC ships had located them, the rebels aboard ''Callisto'' moved the corvette towards a nearby asteroid field. Captain Lewis and Commander Rinkishale of ''Las Vegas'' determined that they needed to engage the corvette before she entered the asteroid field, otherwise ''Callisto'' would be able to "''play cat and mouse''" with the UNSC battle group. As ''Callisto'' neared the field, the corvette slowed and allowed the battle group to catch up. Lewis had all three destroyers in the battle group prepare to fire six of their seven Ares missiles at ''Callisto'' once they were within range. At 0317 MST, the battle group fired eighteen missiles at ''Callisto'' as the corvette advanced towards a city-sized asteroid. Suddenly, the corvette rolled and executed a slingshot orbit to the far side of the asteroid. As the missiles recalculated their targeting solutions around the rock, a nuclear weapon preemptively placed inside the asteroid detonated and blew the rock apart, destroying the missiles and launching debris towards the battle group. ''Buenos Aires'', having been the forward-most ship, was obliterated, while ''Jericho'' was damaged and ''Las Vegas'' was hit by a glancing blow that crumpled her hull. The damage ''Las Vegas'' sustained killed Lewis, Rinkishale, and the rest of the bridge crew except for Lieutenants Preston Cole and Jorgenson, though the latter was rendered unconscious. ''Callisto'', unscathed, angled out of the asteroid field and turned to face the remaining UNSC warships.
''Callisto'' engaged ''Jericho'', and the two ships exchanged missile fire, before the corvette succeeded in disabling the destroyer. Meanwhile, aboard ''Las Vegas'', Cole ordered all surviving crew members to the bridge. However, ''Callisto'' soon fired a missile upon ''Las Vegas'', disabling the destroyer. At 0348 MST, as per MIL JAG Order TR-19428-P, Cole took command of ''Las Vegas'' as the destroyer sat dead in space. Knowing that the insurgents would be unable to resist capturing a destroyer, Cole signaled the unconditional surrender of ''Las Vegas'' to ''Callisto'' and requested immediate aid for the wounded. As ''Callisto'' docked with ''Las Vegas'', the insurgents offered to evacuate the injured to Lawrence Space Station if the crew of ''Las Vegas'' offered no resistance; Cole accepted. However, he had earlier ordered the crewmen to remove the ship's last Ares missile from its silo and transport it to the cargo bay ''Callisto'' was to dock with. Cole had the missile fired directly into the corvette, crippling ''Callisto'' and forcing her surrender.
Aftermath
Following the ''Callisto'' Incident, the UNSC began to crack down on dissent throughout the territory, sparking rebellion throughout the Outer Colonies. It would be the ''Callisto'' Incident that sparked the Insurrection, a massive civil war that waged across the human colonies. The incident had woken humanity from "complacency", as both the UNSC and the various insurgent factions began fighting and learning various tactics of space warfare, which had been largely hypothetical up until this point. The fact that the Levosia terrorists had realized that nuclear weapons were not as effective in space, and instead planted a device within an asteroid to provide reactive mass to destroy one UNSC warship and cripple two others was noted to be a surprisingly intelligent tactic.
Preston Cole's actions during the ''Callisto'' Incident were also considered a tactical leap of insight. Cole had faked a distress signal to lure ''Callisto'' closer to ''Las Vegas'' to allow him to cripple the corvette, however the action was a severe breach of Common Space Law. UNSC Central Command dithered over whether to award him the Legion of Honor or to have him court-martialed. Ultimately, Central Command did neither to avoid setting a difficult precedent. However, from that point on, Cole could never again send a distress signal in enemy territory; he suspected that no one would believe it. Cole was quickly promoted, though not without protest, and later further promoted to commander and given command of a small corvette to patrol the Outer Colonies.

Camber is a former human Human colonies|colony and one of at least two natural satellites of a Wikipedia:Gas giant|gas giant in the Farwatch system. During the Human-Covenant War it was Battle of Camber|attacked and glassing|glassed by the Covenant's infamous Fleet of Particular Justice. Following the war, the Banished set up shop on Camber, constructing numerous shipbreaking facilities on its glassed surface.
Overview
Camber had vast blue oceans and large, sprawling continents. One of the largest continents featured a massive desert or plains biome, with greener environments closer to the eastern coast. Camber had breathable air and comfortable gravity for humans. Following the moon's glassing at the hands of the Covenant, large portions of its surface became desolate, but its atmosphere remained intact. Drastic changes to Camber's climate has resulted in frequent storms. Locations Chiltift Basin
History File:H2A Terminals - UNSC base.jpg|250px|thumb|The UNSC's system headquarters.
Camber was a major manufacturing center for UNSC UNSC Navy|Navy fleet materials. As such, it held critical importance to the UNSC war effort and maintained its own grid of orbital defense platforms, as well as a formidable defensive fleet that included s and s. In one of the colony's cities, the UNSC had a key system headquarters where the 3rd Battalion Reserves were stationed.
By 2542, Camber's location had been discovered by the Covenant, who attacked the colony in that year, targeting various points of strategic value. At least one UNSC fleet depot was destroyed during these initial strikes.
These early attacks set the stage for the Covenant to return to Camber in 2546. Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee's Fleet of Particular Justice was deployed with the goal of cleansing the moon of its human inhabitants and destroying the local UNSC headquarters. 'Vadamee and his fleet caught UNSC forces completely unprepared, penetrating the defensive fleet's early warning perimeter without alerting UNSC forces. After diverting seventeen of his ships to target key ground targets, 'Vadamee himself participated in the attack on the UNSC's headquarters. The battle was over shortly and Camber was glassing|glassed, with only 81,313 of the orignal 5.6 million population surviving. Camber's glassing left large swaths of its surface desolate. Despite this, its atmosphere remained intact, with the moon suffering volatile changes to its climate and frequent storms.
File:HINF BreakerBase.jpg|225px|thumb|The Banished shipbreaking facility in Chiltift Basin.
In the years following Camber's destruction, the Banished moved in and took possession of several UNSC assets that had been left behind. They began to refit and repurpose the ruins into tools to serve their needs. By 2560, the Banished had established an expansive shipbreaking yard on the site of the previously destroyed UNSC fleet depot in Chiltift Basin. Here, they melted down titanium with a powerful plasma drill, reforging the material into weapons of war.
During a mission to this facility on Camber, SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans Hieu Dinh and Sigrid Eklund encountered a Banished artificial intelligence known as Iratus, with Dinh capturing the hostile AI within his armor.

Despite Shannon Owen|Dr. Owen telling him not to, he went ahead with it anyway. When the Covenant Battle of Galileo Base|attacked Galileo Base, the turrets were left offline, leaving the base open to attack. After Crimson cleared the base, Dr. Alexander questioned who turned off the reactor. Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer informed him that they had priority.

Camila Gallardo was a human in the United Nations Space Command. She was the older sister of Victor Gallardo and Maria Gallardo
Biography
After Camila Gallardo and her sister Maria finished high school, they joined up with the UNSC. During her service she once served under Evelyn Rousseau's mother.
During leave, Camila often spent time with her brother Victor and his friend Evelyn Rousseau, teaching them how to fire her rifle, and going out to Brume Beach to shoot at sand dunes there. While Camila and Maria were often not on leave at the same time, they both taught Victor how to throw a punch, handle a knife, and shoot a gun, with Camila telling him it was for "''When'' the Covenant show up" the last time she was home on Meridian.
Around 2548, Victor was told that Camila was hurt in Human-Covenant War, where to help his bad day he decided to creep on Saskia Nazari, finding a secluded cove for a film he was making with his friend Dorian Nguyen instead. Camila ultimately recovered from her injuries.

File:UNSC Marine Corps.PNG|thumb|250px|The UNSC Marine Corps standard-issue battledress comes with camouflage to blend into the surrounding environment. Camouflage, also known as cryptic coloration or concealing coloration, is a form of deception that allows a person or object to remain indiscernible from, or "blend into ", the surrounding environment. Examples include the battledress of UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines, Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs, UNSC Army and some coatings on weapons.
Camouflage dates back to World War II, where camouflage was beginning to be used by both factions of the war. They have changed throughout the years and are still used in combat by UNSC Marines. One of the best forms of camouflage from World War II and beyond is the ghillie suit, made of an artificial worn layer, with an overlay of materials common to the operational area.
UNSC The UNSC utilizes many forms of camouflage, each used for a specific environment. The most basic camouflage patterns are the following:
Woodland- Jungle or forest fighting Desert- Outdoor desert fighting Urban- For urban or (occasionally) tundra fighting Dazzle
The UNSC Marine Corps have been observed using light gray urban and woodland camouflage patterns in their UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|BDUs. The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers utilize a darker urban camouflage.Halo 2Halo 3Halo: Reach, campaign level, ''The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn''
The UNSC Army also uses a variety of different camouflage patterns in UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform|their BDUs, including a default woodland camouflage and a sand-colored desert camo pattern.Halo: Reach, campaign level, ''Tip of the Spear'' Some Special Warfare Command|special force units use darker-tinted woodland pattern.Halo: Reach, campaign level, ''Winter Contingency'' They also use face painting camouflage.Halo: Reach
Covenant Covenant forces use armor coloration to differentiate rank, with no effort to employ passive camouflage methods. As a result, Covenant armor is useless in that aspect. Instead, Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations Special Operations Sangheili|Sangheili and Special Operations Unggoy|Unggoy use active camouflage systems for stealth operations, which is far superior to passive camouflage for most purposes.

Camp Currahee was a secret United Nations Space Command military base located on a northern peninsula on the planet Onyx south of Zone 67. The camp Commandant was Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose (in actuality SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-051), and the camp was used by the Office of Naval Intelligence for the sole purpose of training the SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III supersoldiers.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 68''
Located within a jungle, Camp Currahee was horseshoe-shaped and contained dormitories, mess halls, offices, parade grounds, firing ranges, and many areas for exercises.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 136'' To the west of the camp were obstacle courses. As per UNSC regulation, the inspection yard had a perfectly geometric shape, the paths within the camp were three meters wide and paved with crushed white quartz,Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 162'' and three hundred meters of the jungle surrounding the camp had been cleared.
As it was the only UNSC installation on the planet (except Zone 67 to the north), the Spartans had ample areas to train in prior to deployment. Operations at the base were aided by the ONI Artificial intelligence|AIs Eternal Spring, Deep Winter, and Endless Summer, all of which were primarily assigned to the survey teams in Zone 67.
History Camp Currahee was constructed in 2531 and was operated until 2552. James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson insisted for the camp to be established near Zone 67, a top-secret area housing an Office of Naval Intelligence research facility to study the Forerunner ruins present there.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 342'' SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha, SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta, and SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Companies trained there, and SPARTAN-III Delta Company|Delta Company was planned, but was never formed. At the time of Alpha Company's induction, the camp's personnel consisted of the six dozen drill instructors assigned to the SPARTAN-III program, physical therapists, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and cooks.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 67''
In late 2552|October 2552, after John-117 destroyed Installation 04, Zone 67 turned active, with huge numbers of Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels coming out of the area and began attacking any human in sight.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 113'' The Sentinels began attacking Camp Currahee and killing its personnel. As the Sentinels continued searching for surviving humans, Kurt and the surviving UNSC personnel used the camp to gather weapons and send a distress signal before leaving for El Morro Point.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 138'' Later, Kelly-087 arrived at the remains of the camp to get supplies and weapons.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 164'' Camp Currahee was certainly destroyed with Onyx during the Onyx Conflict, which culminated in the disintegration of the planet.
Locations Command center - Served as a communications and energy-control centerHalo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 139''

NCO quarters - Personal residences of the camp's non-commissioned officers NCO's inspection yard - Destroyed during the Sentinel attack Infirmary - Camp medical center Camp Commandant's residence - Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose's place of residence. It was a small house, consisting of three rooms; an outer office, a toilet area, and a bunk. Kurt's office had photos of the SPARTAN-IIs on the wall and an alcove with a Greek urn with ancient wrestlers. It is also where Kurt kept his old MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor in a locked safe. He never kept the door to his residence locked.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''pages 138-141''

Camp Independence is a United Nations Space Command|UNSC encampment located in the Highland Mountains on planet Reach. It is located inside a large cavern in the shadow of a cliff, thereby obscuring the entrance from the casual observer. The cavern is illuminated by florescent lights and reinforced by steel I-beams on the walls and ceiling. It is protected by two M68 Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor|Gauss Cannons bolted to large boulders near the entrance of the cavern. It was a fallback position for the high-ranking staff of UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM.
During the Fall of Reach, Danforth Whitcomb|Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb and his staff retreated to Camp Independence to escape death at the hands of the Covenant Empire|Covenant. He then radioed Charlie Company to come in and rescue him. Instead, he discovered that company to be destroyed, and SPARTAN Program|Spartans in its placeHalo: First Strike, page 22.

They held position and broadcast Oly Oly Oxen FreeHalo: First Strike, page 156 over the COM|UNSC E-Band for three weeks until John-117 and Cortana, aboard the ''Ascendant Justice'', picked up the transmission and rescued Whitcomb and the Spartans from Camp Independence.

Camp New Hope was a United Rebel Front facility located on the human colony world of Victoria, in the 111 Tauri system.

History
By 2531, the Insurrectionists had repeatedly had its operations disrupted by a four-man team of SPARTAN-II supersoldiers known as Blue Team. The team disrupted Insurrectionist operations including Station Jefferson, the destroyer ''Origami'' and a saboteur cell on Reach, as well as an incident in Wikipedia:Micronesia|Micronesia, and a high-explosives manufacturing facility at an unspecified location.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''pages 36-37'' In response, the rebels gathered together three stolen FENRIS nuclear warheads at Camp New Hope in a way so sloppy that the Office of Naval Intelligence could not help but notice, then contacted the UNSC and offered to trade the nukes in exchange for medicines for their people suffering from Boren's Syndrome. They then set a trap for Blue Team, whom they anticipated would be sent. They successfully ambushed John-117, Frederic-104, Kelly-087 and Linda-058 using an antigravity plate, however were unaware of the presence of a fifth Spartan and new addition to the team, Kurt-051, who had avoided the trap. Kurt was able to free the other members of Blue Team, and they then retreated from the camp with the recovered warheads. Rebel leader General Howard Graves was killed in the process.
Trivia In the novel ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', on page 31, it is referred to as Camp New Hope in the date/time stamp, but as Base New Hope later on that page. This is a common mistake made, as people will often confuse the word base for other words.

Campaign Scoring, also referred to as meta-game or Score Attack, is an optional game feature for the campaign modes of ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 3: ODST'', ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo: Spartan Assault'', in all six campaigns of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', ''Halo: Spartan Strike'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians''.
Overview When playing Campaign with Campaign Scoring turned on, progress is measured in points, which are earned by killing enemies. Different enemies award different points, and bonuses are provided in the form of medals. Betrayals, deaths, and reverting to the last checkpoint deduct points. Having skulls activated will multiply the player's points, as well playing on higher difficulties and finishing the level quickly.
Free-for-all vs. Team Scoring In Free for All scoring, points are awarded to individual players based on their kills. This can also be used to unlock the meta-game achievements. In Team Scoring, points are shared among the team, culminating in a cumulative team score.
Halo 3
Campaign scoring was first introduced in ''Halo 3''. Each level features a campaign scoring meta game achievement for beating the par score on the level.
Points are earned by killing enemies, with the player shooting the killing shot (or throwing the killing grenade) earning the points. If a player is driving a vehicle, any kills by AI passengers will earn the player full points. If the player or party reverts to the last checkpoint (through death or options menu), they will restart with the number of points they had when they hit the checkpoint minus a 25-point penalty for each restart.
Missions with campaign must be completed in one playthrough in ''Halo 3''; if a player saves and quits midway through the level their score is reset to zero when the player reloads the level.
Players cannot earn any of the campaign scoring achievements for the level simply by using team scoring; both players' individual scores are presented when the level is finished. Individual scores determine whether an achievement is unlocked.
The in-game scoreboard is significantly more subdued than in subsequent games. When earned, medals appear as small icons just above the scoreboard in the lower left corner of the player's HUD. The scoreboard features a running tally of the player's total points (including difficulty, skull and style multipliers) and displays the current time bonus; the time bonus multiplier is not calculated toward the point total until the level is complete.
The post-level Carnage Report is similarly simplistic. Statistics are presented in four categories: Carnage (Deaths, Betrayals, Friendlies Killed, Kills), Enemy Kills (Infantry, Specialist, Leader, Hero), Enemy Vehicle Kills (Light, Medium, Heavy, Giant), and Points Breakdown (Medals, Medal Points, Normal Points, Points). All are simple number totals.

Scoring formula The formula for campaign scoring is:
Points Earned = Unit's base point value X (Style Multiplier + Occasional Secondary Style Multiplier) X Difficulty Multiplier X Sum of Skull Multipliers X Time Multiplier
*Note* - The time multiplier is added not to every score but at the very end of the level (i.e. total score Grand Total of 30,000)

Halo 3: ODST Campaign scoring in ''Halo 3: ODST'' is based on that found in ''Halo 3'' -enemies award the same number of points- yet also represents a significant step forward. Most noticeable is that many more List of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST medals|medals are awarded in campaign and Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight. In ''Halo 3'', only eight medals are awarded in campaign. In ''ODST'', most of the medals found in ''Halo 3'' multiplayer can be awarded in campaign; specifically the spree, weapon spree, multi-kill and style medals. These medals provide score bonuses; the more difficult the medal, the more points awarded. Bonuses for killing and weapon sprees are particularly large, and can be essential in meeting par scores. One noticeable difference with the multi-kill medals is that only a single multi-kill medal is awarded at a time, unlike in ''Halo 3'' multiplayer, where a player is awarded all of the multi-kill medals. For example, if a player earns an Overkill they will receive only that medal and will not also receive a Double Kill and Triple Kill.
The in-game scoreboard now includes a timer, and displays the sum of the player's current multipliers (difficulty, skull, and time). Although the difficulty, skull and style bonuses are immediately added to the player's running tally, the time multiplier is again not calculated until the end of the level. Medals and points now flash prominently near the player's reticule, similar to how they appear in multiplayer, rather than next to the scoreboard as they did in ''Halo 3''.
The Postgame Carnage report is much more detailed in ''ODST''. Par scores are displayed on the first page, with the basic stats. Most notably, rather than simple class totals, kills are now displayed with graphics for each individual enemy and vehicle type (as well as friendly kills and betrayals). Players can now view the medals they earned in the level, as well as their tool of destruction and largest kill.
Unlike ''Halo 3'', there are no campaign scoring achievements in ''ODST''; instead, scoring achievements are found in Firefight.

Scoring formula The formula for campaign scoring is essentially the same as in ''Halo 3'':
Points Earned = (Unit's base point value X Total Style Multipliers X Difficulty Multiplier X Sum of Skull Multipliers) X Time Multiplier
*Note* - The time multiplier is added not to every score but at the very end of the level (i.e. total score Grand Total of 30,000)

Halo: Reach
Campaign scoring is subject to only minor changes in ''Halo: Reach''.
The HUD is only slightly altered. Points awarded appear to the right of the player's reticule. Medals earned flash on the left side of the player's HUD, above the player's motion tracker. The in-game scoreboard is largely the same as was used in ''ODST'' with a running clock and the current total multiplier. Although the time bonus is displayed as part of this total, again it is not calculated and added to the score until the level is completed. The post-game Carnage Report has mostly received only cosmetic changes, though the enemy classes are now more clearly marked.
Once again, nearly all medals found in the game (save multiplayer gametype-specific medals) are found in the campaign. Multi-kill medals are now awarded in their entirety, as they are in multiplayer, and are awarded the moment they are earned. Thus, a player earning an Overkill will also have earned a Double Kill and Triple Kill.
Players are also less likely to have their kills stolen by AI allies. In ''Halo 3'' and ''ODST'', players would only receive credit for a kill if they landed the final killing blow; in ''Reach'', the player will still receive credit for enemies on whom they have inflicted damage who are then finished off by their AI allies.
The most noticeable change is that difficulty, skull and time multiplier amounts have all been adjusted, leaving them dramatically lower than in previous games. However, the scoring formula is tweaked, so that instead of the skull and difficulty multipliers being multiplied together, they are added together. This results in a higher multiplier overall. For example, with the old scoring formula, playing heroic with the Iron skull on would result in a multiplier of only 1.5 before time bonus (1.25 X 1.2 2.45).
As with previous games, the player's score resets upon saving and quitting. Turning on campaign scoring in ''Reach'' has the unique effect of causing the game to return to the campaign menu when the level is completed, rather than moving on to the next level. On The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn, this means that the game does not advance to the Halo: Reach credits|credits, so the player does not have the chance to view its cutscene.
There are no achievements for beating the par scores in ''Halo: Reach''.

Unlike all other games, every level in ''Halo: Reach'' features the same time bonuses. Even Lone Wolf features decreasing time multipliers, which is ironic given that the player's sole goal in the level is to survive as long as possible.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection The ''Master Chief Collection'' features the most extensive campaign scoring to date. Every level across all six games in the collection (save for non-combat levels, Mombasa Streets, and Lone Wolf) features not only a par score but also a par time, all of which award an achievement. Additionally, there are eleven achievements for earning medals in campaign; medals are only earned in campaign when campaign scoring is active. Campaign scoring is only available when a level is started from the beginning and will be disabled if the player starts from a rally point later in the level.
Although point values for unit kills vary, the games otherwise utilize the same scoring formula. As with previous games, points are awarded based on unit values, and difficulty, skull and time multipliers. All games in the collection award the same set of 31 medals in campaign. Whether the player earns points for AI kills varies depending on the game. This scoring formula does not apply to ''Halo 3: ODST'' and ''Halo: Reach'' Firefight which award medals and calculate points in the same manner as the original games. ''Halo 4'' Spartan Ops does not feature any scoring at all.
Most games feature only the skulls found in their original game, save for the ''Anniversary'' games which feature several new ones. The ''Anniversary'' games also feature some skulls which have a 0.00x multiplier that will completely disable campaign scoring and prevent the player from unlocking any campaign scoring achievements. Skull multiplier values are similar to those found in ''Halo: Reach'', however they once again multiply together rather than adding, resulting in the lowest skull multipliers to date.
Additionally, the ''Collection'' is far less forgiving with regard to time. When a player starts a level they are eligible for a 3x multiplier until they reach the par time. At that point rather than decreasing in tiers as in previous games, the time multiplier decreases incrementally until it reaches a multiplier of 1.00. Five to twenty minutes after that the game stops awarding additional points altogether; kills and medals can still be earned, however they award 0 points. Players will still lose points for dying or resetting checkpoints.
This point cutoff is particularly notable because par times in the ''Master Chief Collection'' are based on speedrun times; the most common par time is only 15:00 and the longest is only 25:00. This is notable because many levels such as Assault on the Control Room would normally take the better part of an hour, with a speedrun requiring players to bypass large sections of the level. As such, playing through the level as intended will inevitably result in the player running up against this time cutoff.
The in-game scoreboard is located at the bottom right of the screen in all games save for ''Halo 3: ODST'' in which it appears at the top right due to that game's unique HUD layout. Players can choose one of four different options for how their score will be displayed: Score, Time, Competitive Score, and Competitive Time.
Score is the closest to previous scoreboards, except that it displays only the player's score and not time. Points are calculated immediately based on difficulty and skull multipliers, with the time multiplier added once the level is complete.
Time displays a play clock only. Medals earned will still flash on the screen, but the player will not see their points until they complete the level and view their post-game carnage report.
Competitive Score is the only scoreboard which displays all information and clearly demonstrates the scoring formula: running point total, time clock, and time multiplier. Uniquely, the time multiplier is added immediately with each kill. This results in the alarming sight of the player's running total rapidly decreasing once the player reaches the par time and the time multiplier begins counting down. The scoreboard also includes a "rival": a player who previously played the level against whom the player can compare their progress. The scoreboard displays a meter which is subdivided based on the level's checkpoints. If the player is ahead of their rival at a checkpoint the meter will turn green, if they are behind, it will turn red. In either case, it will display how many points ahead or behind the player is.
Competitive Time features the same "rival" mechanic, but displays the time clock only, and bases the rival performance on time rather than score.
Unlike previous games, saving and quitting will not nullify the player's progress, but will allow the player to continue where they left off when they resume, though they will receive a point penalty just as if they had reverted to the last checkpoint.
At launch ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' had a unique quirk to their scoring, whereby the player earned points for destroying Covenant vehicles and turrets, even if they were unoccupied. In all other games, vehicles and turrets only awarded points if occupied. When ''ODST'' was released on PC in 2020 this quirk was patched out, though it remains in ''Halo 3''.

Trivia Meta in ancient Greek means "after", so meta-game means "after-game", or in a more philosophical sense, "the game behind the game". In the case of campaign scoring, you are playing a ''meta-game'' in which you are trying to get as high score as possible, and to accomplish that, you are playing the ''actual campaign game''in other words, the Campaign Metagame is a game about a game. In ''Halo: Reach'', the current record in campaign scoring is 134,320,688, set by FA Aras Cade on April 23, 2012. This beat the previous record of 117,077,496 set by OWA 000 on April 20, 2011

File:HMCC-Main Menu.jpg|thumb|300px|The campaign menu in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. Campaign is the Wikipedia:Single Player|single player aspect of the :Category:Games|''Halo'' games. In each game, the player participates in various episodes of the Halo universe|''Halo'' storyline. The most recurrent character that players control is John-117|John-117, the Master Chief, although roughly half of the ''Halo'' games focus on other characters and stories. The events of the ''Halo'' campaigns focus on the confrontation between humanity and the Covenant, and also feature prominent interventions by other factions such as the Flood or the Forerunners.
Campaign levels usually consist of missions in which the player kills enemies while going through the level's areas and completing given objectives, where the story is established with cutscenes and in-game dialogues. Cooperative play is available in most but not all games, but the number of players can vary. Different difficulty options (Easy, Normal, Heroic, Legendary) and gameplay modifiers (skulls, Campaign scoring|scoring) also exist. The additional Spartan Ops mode in ''Halo 4'' is loosely based on a campaign and continues the game's story.
Most ''Halo'' games are :Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooters where the player controls a single character. The ''Halo Wars'' series are :Wikipedia:Real-time strategy|real-time strategy games, in which the player can take control of dozens of troops and units at a time.

Appearances These stools are light and easily portable, and collapse so many of them can be stored in a small space. The seat itself is strung between the frame, and appears to be made out of either a dark green or black fabric.
These stools can be found on ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reachs campaign and multiplayer levels.Halo 3Halo: Reach''' They are often found near sniper rifles and camp spots. They are also an editable object in Forge found under the "Scenery" tab and can be added to a map at the cost of $2, and $10 in the Master Chief Collection.

Camping is the act of voluntarily keeping out of firefights by staying in one place. The act of camping is generally frowned upon in the gaming community and often considered a newbie|newb tactic. Players who employ this voluntary act would be referred simply as "campers".
Overview Campers typically hide in areas that are easily defended or where they are unlikely to be noticed, while shooting from a distance or sneaking out from behind a corner to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting player passing by. They typically lie in wait with powerful weapons; depending on their strategy, they may use ranged weapons like the Sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher or Battle Rifle; or close-quarters weapons, like the Type-52 Pistol|Mauler, Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer, Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword, or Shotgun.
Some campers hide where they would not be noticed, using their stealth to snipe unaware players without being detected or counter-attacked. Others use guerilla tactics, hiding around corners or on ledges, and waiting to ambush passing players. Still others will wait in a small, easily-defended areaoften an area with a single entrance that acts as a choke point, allowing the camper to decimate any forces that try to retaliate.
While some instances of camping are dependent on stealth, other campersoften those that camp in easily-defended areaswill happily announce their position with Spartan Laser blasts and by grenade spamming. Campers that depend on stealth will rarely camp with an objective, such as the Oddball or a flag, as said items are marked with waypoints.
Although camping is a legal and legitimate strategy, and may actually be encouraged by certain survival-oriented game types (such as variants of Infection), most players complain that it takes away from the inherent fun of the game. It is often stated that it is a "noob" strategy, as it allegedly takes little "skill" and is a cowardly way to play. Though this is not always necessarily true, most players frown upon this strategy.
On occasion, however, camping can be vital in cooperative multiplayer modes, such as in ''Halo 3: ODSTs Firefight mode. In Firefight, the player may rely on higher difficulties to camp and take out enemies quickly rather than lose precious lives. Although some people still frown upon the tactic, even though in ''ODST'', it cannot be used against other players.
Strategy and counter-strategy
File:Red Spartan Corner Camping Halo Reach.jpg|thumb|300px|A Spartan corner camping on the map Sword Base. Many campers rely largely on close-quarters ambushes, or "corner rushing", to take down their enemies. Popular places to corner-camp are sharp, blind corners, where a camper may hide with a powerful short-range weapon (such as the Gravity Hammer, Energy Sword, or Shotgun) and cut down anybody who turns the corner. Once a corner-camper's location has been determined, however, it is generally quite easy to take him out. The usual strategy for these situations is to throw a grenade into his hiding spot to kill him or at least flush him out. With the advent of ''Halo 3s Mauler, which spawned rapidly and commonly on numerous multiplayer maps, corner-camping became a severe balance issue, so much so that Bungie drastically decreased the number of Maulers in multiplayer.
In certain game modes, such as Infection, players often camp together in a close room with only one point of entrance. In Infection games, this makes it difficult for Zombies to get to the humans, as they are usually shot at by multiple players at once. Such spots include the lift zone in Sword Base. A counter-strategy for Zombies is to rush in a large group. The Zombies in the front will usually die, but if the Zombies behind are fast enough, they can kill some of the humans while they are pumping their shotguns or reloading from the last kill. Although the Zombie hoard will usually die, this will thin out the humans in a camping spot, so repeating this will eventually drive out or infect all the humans.
In objective games, such as Assault, King of the Hill, and Capture the Flag, it is relatively common practice for a player to hide out of sight near the objective and target anybody who attempts to claim or defend the objective. Unlike most other forms of camping, this is not generally frowned upon, and is indeed rather commonplace. Nonetheless, like all forms of camping, it is potentially an unsporting strategy.
Weapon camping is a form of target camping that is especially prevalent on smaller maps. Campers may hide near a powerful weapon, killing anyone who arrives to take it. This became a major focus of the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map Snowbound; players would hide near the Shotgun spawn and slaughter all the myriad enemies who attempted to claim it. This became more important than anything else on the map, so much so that Bungie removed the Shotgun from Snowbound and replaced it with a Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifle.
This has also taken place on the map The Pit, where the Energy Sword spawn is to the side of the map. The small room where the Energy Sword spawns is ideal for camping, since to either side of the entrance, there are sharp corners, where campers can lie in wait and attempt assassinations or noob Combo|noob combo kills with a Type-52 Pistol|Mauler.
Spawn camping is a tactic in which a player locates a series of Respawn Points inside of a specific map. The player will, during gameplay, camp with a power weapon in a position where they can kill opponents the moment they respawn. The victims of such a tactic are caught unprepared, ill-equipped and possessing only the default weapons, which are often no match for the powerful weapons wielded by the camper. Determined spawn campers that use a Sniper Rifle may even be able to headshot a victim within seconds of their respawning.
The act of camping at a Respawn Point is spawn camping; the act of actually killing players that respawn at the point is spawnkilling.
This became unfortunately common in ''Halo 2s matchmaking, especially on smaller, symmetrical maps, such as Midship and Sanctuary. In ''Halo 3'', the issue of spawn camping was addressed specifically by multiplayer designers, who engineered a complex algorithm to govern respawns. This algorithm not only assured that respawns would take place in a helpful manner, but also reduced the likelihood of respawning at a location with enemies nearby. Although spawn camping remains an issue to some extent, it is far less common.
Another type of spawn camping is to drive a vehicle rapidly around your enemy's base. Although this tactic will allow many players to escape their spawn points unharmed, it will also grant the player a considerable number of kills as they simply splatter newly-spawned foes. This is not generally considered a serious form of camping, as it relies on motion and has a considerable level of risk involved. This tactic is especially popular in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', as even the slightest touch from a moving vehicle will kill an opponent.
Spawn camping may also refer to camping at the spawn locations of weapons, equipment, etc. in order to have a monopoly on the item. For more information on this tactic, see ''Camping#Target Camping|Target Camping'', above.
File:Halo Reach Lift Camping Reflection.jpg|thumb|300px|A red elite lift-camping on the Halo: Reach map Reflection in a multiplayer match. Lift camping is the practice of ambushing and killing players who are in uncontrollable motion. It takes its name from the Gravity lift and other similar lifts that often adorn levels.
Players in a Gravity Lift are unable to control their movement in any way, making them easy targets for campers. On the ''Halo 2'' map Lockout, for example, the Gravity Lift launched players clearly into the open with a loud, recognizable noise in full view of the Sniper Rifle spawn, turning them into easy prey.
This has also become a commonplace tactic in the ''Halo 3'' map Construct, where players will camp at the top of the lifts with the Energy Sword or M7057/Defoliant Projector|Flamethrower and lay waste to those ascending through the lift. A well-timed Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|Plasma Grenade can also kill ascending players.
The lift camping strategy can largely be undermined by throwing a grenade or Power drain|Power Drain into a lift before you enter it, although this is admittedly not always practical. The best counter is often to take a different route up and flank the camper, as they are often unprepared for attacks from the side or back. Such campers often utilize close-range weapons, an effective strategy in Lockout.
On the ''Halo: Reach'' map Reflection, the lift in the area ''Elevator Shaft'' is also susceptible to lift camping. The player has to walk towards the platform and often has to wait for the next ride up. In this time an enemy player can sneak up behind them from a corridor and kill the player, given that the player was not paying attention to his back. Also, at the top of the elevator, there is a small platform to the immediate left on which a player can camp and melee a passenger in the back. Given that most players are looking forward when arriving at the top, the camper is often not seen. To secure the area, before taking the lift, throw a Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|Plasma Grenade from the bottom to the small platform. Luckily, death by camper can be avoided if the player is actively surveying their environment.
Named for its use of teleporters, tele-camping is usuallybut not alwaysperformed in an open map that is big enough for a vehicle. The basic strategy is to get a turret (such as the ones found on M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs) into a position where it has a view of the end of a teleporter. Ideally, the turret would also be protected from any open fields of fire, such as classic sniping spots and bases. A variant of this method involves waiting behind the turret, so the vehicle does not show up on the motion tracker as an enemy.
The camper then gets in the turret and waits for an enemy to go through the teleporter. As soon as the enemy arrives, the gunner tears the foot soldier to shreds. Another strategy, which is good if there are snipers about, is to drive a vehicle, such as a Warthog or , to the teleporter, and stay in the driver seat. Such a setup would allow a camper to splatter anyone who uses the teleporter.
The latter method of tele-camping is very popular in ''Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PCs map Blood Gulch, as the level is wide open, but the teleporters are fairly concealed. The method does not work in newer games, however, as the vehicle would block the teleporter, preventing its usage.
Etymology The name "camping" is derived from the Wikipedia:Camping|real-life recreational activity of the same name. In the same way that outdoor campers set up and occupy a small camp, video game campers wait in a small area instead of venturing out to the battlefield.
Trivia A player is likely to resort to camping if they have the Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword or shotgun due to the weapons' fairly short range. A player is also likely to resort to camping if they have any Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper weapon and a strategic position on a large map. A ''Halo 3'' Slayer variant titled "Duel" has the description ''"No camping! Free for all but the leader cannot hide."'' The game has a waypoint enabled to show the leading player in kills, rendering camping to be a much less effective strategy.

Around 2007-2009, game development studio Certain Affinity were in talks with 343 Industries to produce a ''Halo'' game. The game was intended by 343 Industries to be a digital download game, and Certain Affinity pitched a number of ideas including one that had multiple people "super excited". Ultimately, the contract was close to being in place to begin development, though fell through once the then-upcoming ''Halo Waypoint'' project became a larger priority. Although the project fell through, the negotiations allowed Certain Affinity to keep in contact with Microsoft, ultimately going on to produce ''Waypoint'' and the Defiant Map Pack|Defiant and Anniversary Map Pack|Anniversary DLCs for ''Halo: Reach'', alongside continued work on future ''Halo'' games.
Some of the ideas pitched by Certain Affinity were described by studio head Max Hoberman as "''a little too out of left field, a little too casual''", ultimately contributing to a more serious plan closer to existing ''Halo'' games. As of 2015, one of the ideas pitched for the Certain Affinity game project was something Hoberman was still "dying to make".

File:CancelledHalo Landscape.jpg|300px|thumb|A matte paintover of a shot from the trailer, dated c.2011 (bottom-right). This shot was taken around four seconds into the trailer. This untitled ''Halo'' project was developed around the late-2000s and early 2010s, being cancelled some time in or after 2011. Little is known of the project's goals, with almost all information currently known provided by portfolio uploads by artist :Category:Images by Sasha Beliaev|Sasha Beliaev posted in 2016.
Overview The project was in production around the late 2000s or early 2010s, and uses a number of assets and designs from that era of ''Halo'' media including the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV design featured in 2009's ''Halo Legends'', and the MA37 assault rifle introduced in 2010's ''Halo: Reach''. Beliaev's work on the project consisted of the creation of a small cinematic previsualisation environment for a trailer used to test internal development tools. Beliaev's guidelines on the project included;
Multiple types of lighting and mixed lighting contexts such as interior and exterior. Environments containing animated and moving geometry. An aesthetic that would seamlessly integrate with an existing franchise, without infringing on existing copyrights. The ability to run in real-time as opposed to being pre-rendered.
Altogether, the project was done over a course of roughly two months, with the environment taking around three weeks to construct and an accompanying spacecraft model taking another four weeks, including texturing. The ship was described by Beliaev as a "frigate", and its overall design does bear a heavy resemblance to the UNSC frigate|frigates used by the UNSC Navy in ''Halo'' canon - albeit with a heavy artistic exaggeration. The frigate itself was built in an extremely low-poly fashion as to run in real-time and textured using one tileable texture, with a height map stored in the texture's alpha channel for the illusion of depth. The frigate featured a retractable loading ramp and numerous ball turrets.

File:CancelledHalo_Frigate_Nacelle.jpg|A view of an extra protrusion on the frigate.
The environment itself consisted of a large underground presumably-Forerunner structure rising out of the ground in a manner not-dissimilar to the Portal at Voi|Ark portal concepts developed for ''Halo'' Halo: Combat Evolved|Combat Evolved and visualised in ''Halo 3'', or the Ark structure itself intended for the Earth Ark level Cut Halo 2 levels|cut from ''Halo 2''. The terrain was done via simple geometry displacement, and featured a gas giant in the sky background. A large wide-shot of the structure was present at around four seconds into the trailer (seen at the top of this article), described by Beliaev as a "death ray generator" and intended to explode in a "most spectacular fashion". Further concept paintovers of the structure date one frame as taking place at frame 642 and depicting a first-person view of the player holding an MA37 assault rifle, with another paintover showcasing an aerial view from the frigate and the death ray exploding. The death ray's appearance and function are notably similar to the idea of the Forerunner particle cannons featured in ''Halo 4''.
File:CancelledHalo_FirstPerson.jpg|Concept paintover for frame 642, showcasing an MA37 assault rifle. File:CancelledHalo Explosion.jpg|Concept art of the structure exploding.
The environment set fairly simple in design, featuring an exterior "helipad", a short hallway interior and a large dome in the centre where the "death ray" was located. Several lighting tests were done on the environment.

Cancellation The project was in production by at least some time in 2011, by which time the wide-shot matte painting was produced. Some time after this, the project was cancelled for unknown reasons. Beliaev speculated that this may have been in part due to differences in workflow - Beliaev modelled and textured the frigate model with heavy emphasis on reused tileable textures. However, the model was later handed off to an unnammed studio that specialised in using Mari to texture, and were less familiar with the tileable workflow used by Beliaev. The issues caused by this error were purported to "screw up the schedule real bad" and interfere with the project - something Beliaev attributed to causing its cancellation.
Some of the details about this project indicate it may have been a part of the development of ''Halo 4''. For one, the process was done around the 2009-2011 era in which ''Halo 4'' was Development of Halo 4|undergoing production, and features certain elements familiar to ''Halo 4'' such as the ideas of Master Chief and a frigate (IE the ) trapped on or around a Forerunner environment. If so, this may have been a part of the earlier ''Halo 4'' (and even some more general pre-''Halo 4'' ideas) direction pushed by then-creative director Ryan Payton during his tenure at 343 Industries. During this time, Payton championed many different ideas (most of which never made it into prototyping) which were later described by Frank O'Connor as being ''extremely'' different to the final ''Halo 4'';

Payton ultimately left the ''Halo 4'' project in summer 2011 (the same year as this cancelled ''Halo'' project) as the game shifted away from his vision, though noted some of his ideas were later reused in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and that one large idea he proposed "''definitely made people uncomfortable, which was a natural reaction, I think.''". This process, described by Marcus Lehto as a reboot in the game's development (though denied by O'Connor) may have additionally influenced the cancellation of this project - though it is also entirely possible the two were unrelated, as studios typically have several projects in their development pipelines at a time. Around the same era projects like Haggar were also in development (and ultimately cancelled).

Cancer, known scientifically as a ''Malignant neoplasm'', is a group of diseases in which affected cells can display three of the following properties:
Uncontrollable cellular reproduction above normal rates (this forms a ''Malignant tumor'');
Invasion and destruction of neighboring tissue; and sometimes Metastasis, a state in which affected cells spread throughout the body through the blood.
Cancer ceased to be commonplace in the human genome by the 22nd century, though cases appeared from time to time as far as the 26th century. However, these could be treated easily by this time.
At some time during the Human-Covenant War, Michael Baird was diagnosed with this disease onboard . At the time of his diagnosis, Baird was completely unaware of what cancer is, demonstrating how trivial the disease had become among the general population. Despite this, Catherine-B320's mother still died due to cancer in 2536, though the circumstances of the death remain unknown.
The fictitious disease known as "Boren's Syndrome" supposedly caused severe cancer symptoms in victims, which required extensive treatment and chemotherapy (even with 26th century medical technology).

Candy from a Baby is an achievement for ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer matchmaking added with the Defiant Map Pack. The achievement was earned by capturing and scoring a flag carried all the way back from the enemy's capture zone twice during a Stockpile match. It is represented by a blue hand holding two red flags in front of a six-pointed star. The achievement could be earned on any multiplayer map.
Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 ''Halo'' online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.
The achievement is worth 75 Gamerscore.
Trivia The achievement's name is from an English Idiom "Like taking a candy from a baby", usually referring to how easy a task is. As with Return to Sender and Crackin' Skulls, this achievement did not actually require the player to be playing matchmaking at all to earn it; it was possible to unlock the achievement while playing custom games, as long as the gametype being played was electronically signed by Bungie. (That is, if the gametype was the same one used in matchmaking.) However, this method required downloading the specific gametype file; with those services shut down, unlocking the achievement in a custom game is now functionally impossible. Sources

File:Canon fodder Banner.jpg|thumb|300px|The Banner used for the Canon Fodder after it merged with the Halo Community Update in July 2016.
Canon Fodder is a weekly blog section of the Halo Community Update written by franchise writer Jeff Easterling|Jeff "GrimBrother One" Easterling and posted on Halo Waypoint, centering on the fiction of the Halo universe|''Halo'' universe. It started as a section of Waypoint's weekly Halo Bulletin write-ups and was made into its own separate blog in January 2015. From July 15, 2016, to December 2, 2016, it was absorbed into the Halo Community Update as the Canon Fodder section,, but by December 7, 2016, had become a separate blog again. Typically posted between Thursday and Saturday, Canon Fodder entries offer various forms of ''Halo'' lore-focused information, news about upcoming media, interviews with the developers of the franchise, as well as community Q&A sessions on fiction-related matters. Every blog post is typically accompanied by additions or updates into Waypoint's "Universe" encyclopedia. Articles older than issue 56 were lost when Halo Waypoint was updated in 2021 (real world)|2021.
On December 23, 2021 with the release of Issue 122, Jeff Easterling left the role of Canon Fodder publisher to Alex Wakeford|Alex "Haruspis" Wakeford.
Background The phrase "canon fodder" first originated on halo.bungie.org on September 25, 2011, when Grim used it in the title of a post going over a podcast he was in. It was not until March 21, 2013 that the then-forum monitor Grimbrother One used the phrase to name a series of discussion threads on the Halo Waypoint forums that focused on specific media in the ''Halo'' universe.

Canonical Conundrum is an achievement in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. It is awarded by finding all Data pads in ''Halo: Reach''.
Trivia The name of the achievement may be a reference to the fact that content of the Data pads would seem to conflict with the established lore of the Halo universe. For example, the The Assembly featured in the pads appears to be made up of Smart AI's and exist for centuries, despite the firmly established seven-year maximum lifespan of humanity's smart AI's.

Capital-Enforcer, also known as Capital, was a Forerunner Warrior-Servant who served during the Forerunner-Flood war.Halo: Fractures, ''Defender of the Storm''
Biography At some point Capital-Enforcer had guarded a facility visited by the Librarian for three daily cycles. In the later years of the Forerunners' conflict with the Flood, Capital and several other Warrior-Servants were assigned to Seclusion Spiral, a gas mining station on the planet Seclusion. One day, while on patrol in Vane One with three other Forerunners; at some point one of his officers, Dutiful-Marcher, went missing, he contacted Adequate-Observer at the station's hub to alert everyone that they were under attack by the Flood.
Capital received reinforcements from the other patrols and engaged the Flood, when seemingly defeated, Dutiful-Marcher's Combat form released several Infection forms. Capital and his troops fell back and he ordered Adequate to close bulkhead one-stroke-four, temporarily sealing off the Flood. Capital eventually made it to the hub and sealed off Vanes One, Two, and Four to delay the Flood, his ancilla left a message that power to the transponders that relay messages between personnel was lost. Capital also intended to make a last stand in Vane Five, where he was eventually joined by Adequate-Observer, who informed him they were the only Forerunners left. Capital decided they had to scuttle the station, otherwise the station would become a trap for others. Needing both master keys to accomplish this, Capital gave his to Adequate and told him to scuttle it when the former fell. Soon after Adequate left Capital was turned into a Combat Form.

File:H3 BruteCaptain.png|300px|thumb|A standard Jiralhanae Captain with a Leader power armor. Captain is a command Covenant rank structure|military rank for warriors serving in the Covenant military|armed forces of the Covenant empire and its Covenant remnants|remnants. Although it was held by other species such as Yanme'e and Mgalekgolo, the role has been most-widely adopted and known as a Jiralhanae title.
Overview Covenant Captains are seasoned veteran warriors, and are more heavily armed and armored than standard infantry.Halo Encyclopedia, ''page 144'' Captains are commands groups of infantry. They will hold their ground more often, making them far more effective killing machines. Their combat effectiveness is due to their superior experience in the field and the heavy weapons they carry.
Captain-class warriors, at least for the Jiralhanae and Yanme'e, have their own internal ranking structure, with status denoted by the colour of a given individual's battle harness.
By species
Several Sangheili held Platoon Captain and Wraith Captain roles within the SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs' Warzone simulations after the Human-Covenant War, to which they are seemingly sub-ranks related to the Captain role. The Wraith Captain is most likely the title below Tankmaster and above the Wraith Officer. In the Warzone simulation, Re'gish Wamik held the Captain role and piloted a , despite his higher Field Master title during the Human-Covenant War.
Jiralhanae Captains are seasoned veteran Jiralhanae, and are more heavily armed and armored than standard Jiralhanae infantry. They are smarter and significantly tougher than their lesser brethren. Jiralhanae captains in the Banished operate with a higher level of autonomy than their Covenant counterparts. They often lead large numbers of troops and perform specific missions that smaller Jiralhanae Warrior|warrior-led groups would not be entrusted with. Like in a typical Jiralhanae clan, Banished Jiralhanae captains serve directly under a chieftain. Many ambitious captains keep their eyes on the chieftain's position and are always looking for opportunities to overthrow their leaders. The very best Jiralhanae captains in the Banished are elevated to the position of Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord. Chosen captains will typically command the Elite of a given clan or Legion.
Like most Jiralhanae armors prior to the Great Schism, Captains wore standard partial body armor rather than a full-body armor, although based on different skeins; Rh'tol Captains were identified by a small holography|holographic red flag attached to their harnesses extending from their back, while Vheiloth Captains wore rather a gold helmet and more resilent armor than their Rh'tol counterparts.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 25'' During the Schism after the Jiralhanae were given elevated status in the Covenant military, they were issued with iridescent leader power armor, equipped with energy shields. Jiralhanae Captains serving within the Banished are equipped with a red energy field, along with a helmet and full body armor with a jump pack that helps them maneuver around the battlefield or perform melee attacks, and they are armed with Veporokk Workshop Ravager|Ravagers (those donning helmets reminiscent to that of brute captains serving the Covenant) or MLRS-2 Hydra|Hydras (those donning fanned out helmets with bladed face lines and equipped with energy shielding)
The standard and iconic armament of the Jiralhanae Captain is the Jovokada Workshop Brute Shot and it is almost exclusively wielded by Captains. Captains are considered to experts at wielding the Brute shot. Some were seen to handle different weapons, such as gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammers.

Regular Captain
The regular Jiralhanae Captain is a low-tier command rank and the lowest of the three known Jiralhanae captain ranks. It is subordinate to higher-ranking Captain Majors and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains. During the Schism, they were issued with iridescent purple-red power armor, equipped with energy shields.
File:H3 BruteCaptain.png|Regular Jiralhanae Captain with a leader power armor.
Captain Major
Higher-ranking Jiralhanae Captain Major wear golden power armor. They are the second-highest Jiralhanae Captain rank, though they are deployed more often than the other captain ranks. Captain Majors often lead lower-ranking Jiralhanae, as well as lances of Kig-Yar and Unggoy. A Jiralhanae Captain is promoted to the rank of Captain Major for his ability to rally and inspire other Covenant forces, although the inspiration usually is due to physical threats. Their armor is much more resilient than that of standard Jiralhanae Captains. Jiralhanae Captain Majors can be seen commanding troops on the walkers. The leader power armor of a Jiralhanae Captain Major is bright gold, making them easily recognizable. A Captain Major's shields are significantly stronger than that of lower-ranking Jiralhanae.
File:BruteCaptainMajor.png|A Jiralhanae Captain Major
Captain Ultra Captain Ultra is the third highest attainable rank a Jiralhanae can achieve,Bungie.net next to Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Honor Guardsman and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains. Captain Ultra is the highest Captain rank in the Jiralhanae ranking system. They seem to be the Jiralhanae equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel or Commander as well as a Sangheili Ultra and can command larger packs than their lesser ranks. They are stronger and more experienced than other Jiralhanae infantry and Captain ranks. Jiralhanae Captain Ultras are trained to be immensely strong and agile. On the battlefield, Captain Ultras are often in command of Jiralhanae packs and File (unit)|files or lances that are made up of lower-ranking species like Kig-Yar or Unggoy.
Captain Ultras wear cyan leader power armor, which signifies higher rank than the gold Captain Majors.Halo 3: The Official Guide, ''page 116'' (under "Thunderstorm") The armor offers very high resistance from most weapons to protect its user. Captain Ultras are armed with a wide assortment of weapons.

Yanme'e Captains are one of the highest castes of the Yanme'e infantry. They can be denoted by their red-coloured carapace and - unusual for Yanme'e - energy shielding.

Within the Banished, Mgalekgolo Captains are "officers" deployed by Colony to locations which require more direct involvement and supervision.

File:H3 BruteCaptain.png|300px|thumb|A standard Jiralhanae Captain with a Leader power armor. Captain is a command Covenant rank structure|military rank for warriors serving in the Covenant military|armed forces of the Covenant empire and its Covenant remnants|remnants. Although it was held by other species such as Yanme'e and Mgalekgolo, the role has been most-widely adopted and known as a Jiralhanae title.
Overview Covenant Captains are seasoned veteran warriors, and are more heavily armed and armored than standard infantry.Halo Encyclopedia, ''page 144'' Captains are commands groups of infantry. They will hold their ground more often, making them far more effective killing machines. Their combat effectiveness is due to their superior experience in the field and the heavy weapons they carry.
Captain-class warriors, at least for the Jiralhanae and Yanme'e, have their own internal ranking structure, with status denoted by the colour of a given individual's battle harness.
By species
Several Sangheili held Platoon Captain and Wraith Captain roles within the SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs' Warzone simulations after the Human-Covenant War, to which they are seemingly sub-ranks related to the Captain role. The Wraith Captain is most likely the title below Tankmaster and above the Wraith Officer. In the Warzone simulation, Re'gish Wamik held the Captain role and piloted a , despite his higher Field Master title during the Human-Covenant War.
Jiralhanae Captains are seasoned veteran Jiralhanae, and are more heavily armed and armored than standard Jiralhanae infantry. They are smarter and significantly tougher than their lesser brethren. Jiralhanae captains in the Banished operate with a higher level of autonomy than their Covenant counterparts. They often lead large numbers of troops and perform specific missions that smaller Jiralhanae Warrior|warrior-led groups would not be entrusted with. Like in a typical Jiralhanae clan, Banished Jiralhanae captains serve directly under a chieftain. Many ambitious captains keep their eyes on the chieftain's position and are always looking for opportunities to overthrow their leaders. The very best Jiralhanae captains in the Banished are elevated to the position of Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord. Chosen captains will typically command the Elite of a given clan or Legion.
Like most Jiralhanae armors prior to the Great Schism, Captains wore standard partial body armor rather than a full-body armor, although based on different skeins; Rh'tol Captains were identified by a small holography|holographic red flag attached to their harnesses extending from their back, while Vheiloth Captains wore rather a gold helmet and more resilent armor than their Rh'tol counterparts.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 25'' During the Schism after the Jiralhanae were given elevated status in the Covenant military, they were issued with iridescent leader power armor, equipped with energy shields. Jiralhanae Captains serving within the Banished are equipped with a red energy field, along with a helmet and full body armor with a jump pack that helps them maneuver around the battlefield or perform melee attacks, and they are armed with Veporokk Workshop Ravager|Ravagers (those donning helmets reminiscent to that of brute captains serving the Covenant) or MLRS-2 Hydra|Hydras (those donning fanned out helmets with bladed face lines and equipped with energy shielding)
The standard and iconic armament of the Jiralhanae Captain is the Jovokada Workshop Brute Shot and it is almost exclusively wielded by Captains. Captains are considered to experts at wielding the Brute shot. Some were seen to handle different weapons, such as gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammers.

Regular Captain
The regular Jiralhanae Captain is a low-tier command rank and the lowest of the three known Jiralhanae captain ranks. It is subordinate to higher-ranking Captain Majors and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains. During the Schism, they were issued with iridescent purple-red power armor, equipped with energy shields.
File:H3 BruteCaptain.png|Regular Jiralhanae Captain with a leader power armor.
Captain Major
Higher-ranking Jiralhanae Captain Major wear golden power armor. They are the second-highest Jiralhanae Captain rank, though they are deployed more often than the other captain ranks. Captain Majors often lead lower-ranking Jiralhanae, as well as lances of Kig-Yar and Unggoy. A Jiralhanae Captain is promoted to the rank of Captain Major for his ability to rally and inspire other Covenant forces, although the inspiration usually is due to physical threats. Their armor is much more resilient than that of standard Jiralhanae Captains. Jiralhanae Captain Majors can be seen commanding troops on the walkers. The leader power armor of a Jiralhanae Captain Major is bright gold, making them easily recognizable. A Captain Major's shields are significantly stronger than that of lower-ranking Jiralhanae.
File:BruteCaptainMajor.png|A Jiralhanae Captain Major
Captain Ultra Captain Ultra is the third highest attainable rank a Jiralhanae can achieve,Bungie.net next to Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Honor Guardsman and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains. Captain Ultra is the highest Captain rank in the Jiralhanae ranking system. They seem to be the Jiralhanae equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel or Commander as well as a Sangheili Ultra and can command larger packs than their lesser ranks. They are stronger and more experienced than other Jiralhanae infantry and Captain ranks. Jiralhanae Captain Ultras are trained to be immensely strong and agile. On the battlefield, Captain Ultras are often in command of Jiralhanae packs and File (unit)|files or lances that are made up of lower-ranking species like Kig-Yar or Unggoy.
Captain Ultras wear cyan leader power armor, which signifies higher rank than the gold Captain Majors.Halo 3: The Official Guide, ''page 116'' (under "Thunderstorm") The armor offers very high resistance from most weapons to protect its user. Captain Ultras are armed with a wide assortment of weapons.

Yanme'e Captains are one of the highest castes of the Yanme'e infantry. They can be denoted by their red-coloured carapace and - unusual for Yanme'e - energy shielding.
File:H3ODST DroneCaptain Crop.png|A Yanme'e Captain
Among the typical Covenant rank scheme, Yanme'e Hivewards hold the rank of Captain Major, and are the highest rated Yanme'e protector caste and have one of the highest Yanme'e military ranks in the Covenant military.

Within the Banished, Mgalekgolo Captains are "officers" deployed by Colony to locations which require more direct involvement and supervision. Captains make sure Lekgolo colonies and gestalts operate at full efficiency during battles. Each Captain is linked directly to Colony and its distant bond-brother over a specially modified battlenet relay, often going into battle without its bond-brother. Unlike other Mgalekgolo, Captains are equipped with energy shielding, making them perhaps the strongest known Mgalekgolo warriors.Halo Wars 2

File:H3 BruteCaptain.png|300px|thumb|A standard Jiralhanae Captain with a Leader power armor. Captain is a command Covenant rank structure|military rank for warriors serving in the Covenant military|armed forces of the Covenant empire and its Covenant remnants|remnants. Although it was held by other species such as Yanme'e and Mgalekgolo, the role has been most-widely adopted and known as a Jiralhanae title.
Overview Covenant Captains are seasoned veteran warriors, and are more heavily armed and armored than standard infantry.Halo Encyclopedia, ''page 144'' Captains are commands groups of infantry. They will hold their ground more often, making them far more effective killing machines. Their combat effectiveness is due to their superior experience in the field and the heavy weapons they carry.
Captain-class warriors, at least for the Jiralhanae and Yanme'e, have their own internal ranking structure, with status denoted by the colour of a given individual's battle harness.
By species
Several Sangheili held Platoon Captain and Wraith Captain roles within the SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs' Warzone simulations after the Human-Covenant War, to which they are seemingly sub-ranks related to the Captain role. The Wraith Captain is most likely the title below Tankmaster and above the Wraith Officer. In the Warzone simulation, Re'gish Wamik held the Captain role and piloted a , despite his higher Field Master title during the Human-Covenant War.
Jiralhanae Captains are seasoned veteran Jiralhanae, and are more heavily armed and armored than standard Jiralhanae infantry. They are smarter and significantly tougher than their lesser brethren. Jiralhanae captains in the Banished operate with a higher level of autonomy than their Covenant counterparts. They often lead large numbers of troops and perform specific missions that smaller Jiralhanae Warrior|warrior-led groups would not be entrusted with. Like in a typical Jiralhanae clan, Banished Jiralhanae captains serve directly under a chieftain. Many ambitious captains keep their eyes on the chieftain's position and are always looking for opportunities to overthrow their leaders. The very best Jiralhanae captains in the Banished are elevated to the position of Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord. Chosen captains will typically command the Elite of a given clan or Legion.
Like most Jiralhanae armors prior to the Great Schism, Captains wore standard partial body armor rather than a full-body armor, although based on different skeins; Rh'tol Captains were identified by a small holography|holographic red flag attached to their harnesses extending from their back, while Vheiloth Captains wore rather a gold helmet and more resilent armor than their Rh'tol counterparts.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 25'' During the Schism after the Jiralhanae were given elevated status in the Covenant military, they were issued with iridescent leader power armor, equipped with energy shields. Jiralhanae Captains serving within the Banished are equipped with a red energy field, along with a helmet and full body armor with a jump pack that helps them maneuver around the battlefield or perform melee attacks, and they are armed with Veporokk Workshop Ravager|Ravagers (those donning helmets reminiscent to that of brute captains serving the Covenant) or MLRS-2 Hydra|Hydras (those donning fanned out helmets with bladed face lines and equipped with energy shielding)
The standard and iconic armament of the Jiralhanae Captain is the Jovokada Workshop Brute Shot and it is almost exclusively wielded by Captains. Captains are considered to experts at wielding the Brute shot. Some were seen to handle different weapons, such as gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammers.

Regular Captain
The regular Jiralhanae Captain is a low-tier command rank and the lowest of the three known Jiralhanae captain ranks. It is subordinate to higher-ranking Captain Majors and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains. During the Schism, they were issued with iridescent purple-red power armor, equipped with energy shields.
File:H3 BruteCaptain.png|Regular Jiralhanae Captain with a leader power armor.
Captain Major
Higher-ranking Jiralhanae Captain Major wear golden power armor. They are the second-highest Jiralhanae Captain rank, though they are deployed more often than the other captain ranks. Captain Majors often lead lower-ranking Jiralhanae, as well as lances of Kig-Yar and Unggoy. A Jiralhanae Captain is promoted to the rank of Captain Major for his ability to rally and inspire other Covenant forces, although the inspiration usually is due to physical threats. Their armor is much more resilient than that of standard Jiralhanae Captains. Jiralhanae Captain Majors can be seen commanding troops on the walkers. The leader power armor of a Jiralhanae Captain Major is bright gold, making them easily recognizable. A Captain Major's shields are significantly stronger than that of lower-ranking Jiralhanae.
File:BruteCaptainMajor.png|A Jiralhanae Captain Major
Captain Ultra Captain Ultra is the third highest attainable rank a Jiralhanae can achieve,Bungie.net next to Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Honor Guardsman and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains. Captain Ultra is the highest Captain rank in the Jiralhanae ranking system. They seem to be the Jiralhanae equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel or Commander as well as a Sangheili Ultra and can command larger packs than their lesser ranks. They are stronger and more experienced than other Jiralhanae infantry and Captain ranks. Jiralhanae Captain Ultras are trained to be immensely strong and agile. On the battlefield, Captain Ultras are often in command of Jiralhanae packs and File (unit)|files or lances that are made up of lower-ranking species like Kig-Yar or Unggoy.
Captain Ultras wear cyan leader power armor, which signifies higher rank than the gold Captain Majors.Halo 3: The Official Guide, ''page 116'' (under "Thunderstorm") The armor offers very high resistance from most weapons to protect its user. Captain Ultras are armed with a wide assortment of weapons.
File:BruteCaptainUltra.png|A Jiralhanae Captain Ultra
Yanme'e Captains are one of the highest castes of the Yanme'e infantry. They can be denoted by their red-coloured carapace and - unusual for Yanme'e - energy shielding.
File:H3ODST DroneCaptain Crop.png|A Yanme'e Captain
Among the typical Covenant rank scheme, Yanme'e Hivewards hold the rank of Captain Major, and are the highest rated Yanme'e protector caste and have one of the highest Yanme'e military ranks in the Covenant military.

Within the Banished, Mgalekgolo Captains are "officers" deployed by Colony to locations which require more direct involvement and supervision. Captains make sure Lekgolo colonies and gestalts operate at full efficiency during battles. Each Captain is linked directly to Colony and its distant bond-brother over a specially modified battlenet relay, often going into battle without its bond-brother. Unlike other Mgalekgolo, Captains are equipped with energy shielding, making them perhaps the strongest known Mgalekgolo warriors.Halo Wars 2

In the early development of ''Halo 3'', crimson-colored Jiralhanae Captains were originally going to be used for this position, but were scrapped and replaced with violet coloring during production of ''Halo 3'' and later in the final game for unknown reasons. A render of a red-colored Brute leader can be found in the ''Halo 3 Instruction Manual'' and the ''Bestiarum'', and the design used in the form of Lepidus in ''Halo: Uprising''. Tartarus also wore this armor before becoming Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain following the First Battle of Harvest.

File:CTF Icon.svg|thumb|The Capture the Flag icon.
Capture the Flag (CTF) is a multiplayer gametype where teams compete to capture a flag from an enemy base and return it to their own. Many variants of this game-type exist, with the most common variation being the number of teams and flags. More variants can be created by altering individual settings.
Overview File:H3 Capture the Flag blue kill.jpg|thumb|200px|A blue team player protecting the flag. In Capture the Flag, teams compete to capture and return the opposing team's flag to their own base.
Flags are located at their spawn points, usually held in the teams' respective bases. Players need to defend their flags from the enemy team while trying to take the enemy's flag from their base. While carrying a flag, a player (becoming the "flag carrier") cannot fire their weapons, but they can melee using the flag. When a flag is dropped, either at the carrier's own volition or because they are killed, the flag enters a countdown. At the end of the countdown, the flag returns to the base, and the process could be accelerated by friendly players standing around it. The countdown can be reset by enemy players holding the flag again, even if briefly. Respawn timers are commonly longer in CTF than in Slayer, giving more time for players in the offense to capture the flag.
In games other than ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo Infinite'', the flag melee can kill a fully-shielded enemy player with one hit, though the setting can be tweaked in custom game settings.
In ''Halo 4'', rather than being wielded with both hands, players now carry the flag with their left hand and wield an M6H magnum in their right, regardless of whichever weapons they are carrying. Players pick up the flag automatically by walking into it, but can no longer drop it; once a player has taken the flag, they are stuck with it until they score it or are killed.
Upon returning the enemy team's flag to their own base (or the "flag return point"), a player scores a point for the team. The enemy team's flag automatically returns to the enemy base and can be taken again. In certain variants of CTF, players cannot score if their own flag has been removed from its spawn point.
The team that first reaches the score limit (3 points by default) wins the game. If neither has reached the score limit at the end of the time limit, the team with the most points at the end wins. If there is a tie, the game may enter overtime and the team that first scores the next point wins the game. Alternatively, if a team is holding the enemy team's flag at the end, the game may enter sudden death. During sudden death, the flag must be taken to its return point or its spawn point, the result of which decides the victor of the match.
Tips File:Flag_kill.jpg|thumb|200px|The flag-wielder can choose to melee the opposition with the flag. When you are attempting to get the flag, Know where your opponents are positioned before grabbing and alerting them. Choose a route that your opponent will think you are least likely to take. When available, use vehicles like the Warthog, so that the flag carrier can make a speedy getaway. Deny the enemy team from pursuing in their own vehicles and destroy all of their vehicles. Attempt to "spawntrap" the other team. Make sure the whole opposing team is eliminated before grabbing the flag. This allows you to enter the base without any resistance. Grab the flag and runoff, and as the enemy team spawns, your team will cover you. File:H3 Capture the flag mongoose.jpg|thumb|Cooperation between players is the key for winning. When you have the flag:
Flag dropping|Flag juggling is when the player drops and picks up the flag over and over again. The flag must hit the ground before it can be picked up again. Normally, you run slower when you retrieve the flag, but when you flag juggle, you run slightly faster, at the cost of letting your enemy know where the flag is currently is if they have not known already. Do not always take the shortest route back to base. Enemies can easily predict your route that way. Try making detours and changing direction, but make sure you know where you are going. Do not take a route that leaves you exposed from all corners, even if you have teammates escorting you. You are always an easy target for a sniper. If a single pursuer is chasing you, do not be afraid to drop the flag and kill them. Hanging onto the flag would just leave you helpless. Communicate with your teammates. This allows them to cover you and get free rides back to base.
When protecting a flag:
Staying in the flag base can help, but the closer you stay to your teammates, the bigger the target you pose to your opponents. Beware of opponents clearing the room with grenades before they rush to grab the flag. Place a sniper to guard the flag from a safe location. However, snipers should be adaptive, helping the team push forward, eliminating opponents which may ambush them. Sniping is the most effective way of eliminating key members of the opposing team such as Warthog gunners, other snipers, and opponents with power-weapons. Pace your shots to avoid running out of ammunition at a crucial time. Stay in a location where you have a clear view of your flag, but hidden from enemy view. On maps with vehicles, you can use them to block doorways for a makeshift stronghold, or to block the flag itself by parking over it, making it more difficult to grab.

Multi Flag CTF There are two teams based on opposite ends of the map. There are also two flags, each one in the corresponding bases (or there can be only one if the game is "attack and defend, or Neutral Flag). The objective of the game is to capture the opponents' flag three times to win the game while protecting your own flag from enemies at the same time. Unlike slayer games, the total number of kills does not count toward the score. For example, a team that captures the flag three times, but gets no kills, still wins the game. To score, the player with the flag must run back to the designated capture point. Assault Exclusive to ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', teams alternate offense and defense every two minutes. One team needs to carry the enemy flag into the enemy base. The game variant has been replaced by Assault since ''Halo 2''. In Invasion CTF, players only have five lives each. Arena CTF (CTF Classic, CTF Pro)
In this variant, the friendly team flag must be at home for players to score. This is normally played on smaller, non-BTB maps. One Flag CTF A Multi Flag CTF match generally features maps with two identical base|bases, each containing the team's specific flag. One Flag CTF isn't quite as tightly bound, and features more asymmetrical type maps, giving one base better cover and protection and the opposite base maximum exposure and much less cover. This would result in an unfair match-up for the Arena CTF variants; instead, the game features the teams taking turns playing offense and defense. Neutral Flag Teams fight over a neutral flag centered in the middle of the map to bring back to their respective base.

The Car & Pilot: December 2551 Edition is a release of Car & Pilot Magazine. It had a review of the Civilian Warthog.
Review File:Carpilotbanner.gif
AMG Transport Dynamics Civilian Warthog|2553 Hog: First Review December, 2551
Review: Kyle Soutar
Photography: Zoe Huisman
As drivers move more and more toward other forms of transport - personal choppers, hydrogen skiffs and hyperlight gliders - it's nice to see that AMG Transport Dynamics is still keeping things down and dirty with the 2553 edition of the sporty Hog. This long-popular civilian take on the military stalwart features some pretty significant enhancements and upgrades for the 2553|'53 model year.
Off world environments have lead to an upsurge in demand for capable off-road recreational vehicles, and AMG seems to have targeted the niche perfectly with its slightly tamed version of the classic Jarhead transport.
The single biggest improvement over the last revision (2549) is the massive increase per wheel in horsepower/kilowattage. As with every other iteration of the Hog, each wheel has an independent drive by wire electric engine, with power generated by a forward-housed low-profile hydrogen I/C plant. The hydrogen fuel is burned at very high temperature with a synthetic carbon/silicon catalyst to achieve even better fuel consumption.
Like the last version, the new Hog features a Graf/Hauptman Solar/Saline Actuator|Graf/Hauptman solar/saline actuator, and will happily convert up to 12 liters of fresh, brackish or salt water into hydrogen on the fly. Detritus is compacted on board. Efficiency has been increased dramatically however, and we were able to get a range of 200 kilometers from the overnight condensation catchments.
File:BN AMG Civilian Hog Review 1.jpg
Computer systems are as ever, flawless. It is almost impossible to achieve unexpected spin from any wheel under any condition. AMG Transport Dynamics claims that in simulation, each wheel can be on a different surface extreme ice, water, oil, gravel and still achieve perfect distribution of power. Of course, we were more than happy to put that simulation to the test at our Kentucky proving ground and we're happy to report that the Hog performed almost supernaturally well.
One of our staff drivers did however note a tendency for the Hog to lift when thrown into difficult turns, and although wheels will adjust when they're not in contact, it is possible to flip the beast, although to be fair predictably.
It's perfectly safe to do that thanks to excellent structural rigidity. Cushioned harnesses keep passengers tightly embraced in the cockpit, and multiple gas-inflated restraints and magnetic field cushioning gives this year's Hog the highest passenger safety rating of any current recreational passenger vehicle.
Tires, significantly for this year, have moved away from previous inert-gas pocket inflation, with equally burst-proof single unit nanotube skeletons. They provide the buoyancy and ride of gas-pocket tires, but are almost indestructible. As a matter of fact, they have a far higher Moh's scale rating than the carbon-steel rims they cushion. Purists will claim that nanotubes have a more jarring, vibrating ride, but Michelin-Vance claims the new skeletons should actually provide a more luxuriant and comfortable experience on plastic or mineral based highways, and far greater comfort off-road. The relatively massive tires are a joint project between Michelin-Vance and AMG, so expect to see this tech appear on other marquees. Of course, the nanotube tires mean that the spare is even more irrelevant and decorative than ever before.
The cabin has come in for a complete overhaul and is available in three trim levels. For those seeking the sparse, military style of the original Hog, there's a brushed steel, riveted and carbon-fiber dash. On the other end of the aesthetic spectrum is a burled walnut and nickel-silver trim, with particularly rich, realistic wood effect for a jarringly elegant juxtaposition with the vehicle's exterior. Falling somewhere between the two is a seamless black and silver finish, which is somewhat subdued compared to the other two. All three trim levels show excellent attention to detail, with beautifully addressed switchgear, upholstery and finish. All three come with a waterproof leather-substitute for easy clean up.
Exterior colors are available to order in any hue, although the canary-yellow corporate default scheme is as popular as ever.
Entertainment is improved too. The acoustic dampening field means that road and engine noise are canceled completely, and the brilliant holographic audio system (something you definitely won't find in the military version) provides literally perfect music or audio entertainment and can be networked to your home play list, or simply connect to SiriusHub and access anything you like. Voice controls are of course standard, although the addition of passenger control means that your companion can access his or her own music selection with zero interference audio field clarity is that precise. A vocal repeater allows conversations to continue uninterrupted.
As ever, the Hog's biggest failing is luggage capacity. Barely big enough for a first aid kit, cubbyholes and panels abound, but the only way to carry luggage for a weekend trip is to jam it behind the seats or trim your Hog with the optional luggage rack. That kit replaces the largely superfluous spare, and it makes a much more sensible option. To be fair, the vehicle was always intended as more of a daytripper than a grand tour, but much more than a pair of sunglasses and a hub-comm, and you'll be jammed in there pretty tight.
File:BN AMG Civilian Hog Review 2.jpg
Dynamically, the Hog is even more pleasing this year, and the aesthetic enhancements only add to its odd mixture of luxury and utility, though this is an update, not a revolution. Drivers expecting the kind of overhaul AMG demonstrated with last year's sublime relaunch of the Capri will be disappointed, but for weekend warriors seeking a hipper way to bounce through the countryside, the '53 Hog is the only way to travel.
The standard model starts at a hefty 86,000 UN Credaroos. A manual-transmission version stickers at UNCr81,000., while the Limited edition wood-trimmed Classic Edition with winch, tow and luggage rack tops out at UNCr91,000.
We'll update with the results of our long-term test in the fall.

Description Caracalla park was a large wikipedia:Urban Park|urban park in downtown New Alexandria. The park ran from a small lagoon on the right side through some open areas studded with boulders, trees and other buildings to a rocky wooded area to the right. Dividing the lagoon from the wooded area was an access road that ran from the main Pavilion building to a small structure in the center of the park, which also has a bridge that runs from it to another smaller building set on top of a hill. The main Pavilion building has a set of steps leading up from the main road to the hallway inside it and also has some stairs that lead up to the roof, which has a full view of the entire park. On the lower right of the building is an open garage. The park overlooked the Delphi Triple-Strand Network of space elevators.

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula: CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state. It is currently at a globally averaged concentration of approximately 383 ppm by volume in the Earth's atmosphere, although this varies both by location and time. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas because it transmits visible light but absorbs strongly in the infrared.
Carbon dioxide is produced by all animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms during aerobic respiration and is used by plants during photosynthesis. This is to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material for plant growth. It is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is generated as a byproduct of the combustion of fossil fuels or vegetable matter, among other chemical processes. Inorganic carbon dioxide is output by volcanoes and other geothermal processes such as hot springs.
Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at pressures below 5.1 atm, but is a solid at temperatures below -78C. In its solid state, carbon dioxide is commonly called dry ice.
A significant number of the Orion Arm's inhabited planets have Carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres, the best example being Kig-yar|Jackal's homeworld Eayn. This would mean fire may not burn on these planets (depending on how rich the carbon dioxide is) , as carbon dioxide smothers fire by depriving it of oxygen.

Carbon nanofiber is an extremely strong material consisting of cylindric nanoscale structures of graphene layers arranged as cones, cups or plates. Carbon nanofibers with graphene layers wrapped into cylinders are called carbon nanotubes.
Due to its great strength, humans use carbon nanofiber in various structures which require extreme durability, including the strands for space elevators, used for lifting objects between a planetary surface and outer space.Halo: Contact Harvest, Chapter 1, ''page 28''

Carbon nanotube cloaking is a stealth technology used by the United Nations Space Command. Similar to photoreactive panels, it is capable of rendering an object partially invisible to the naked eye, making it somewhat useful in cases where the enemy had no access to sophisticated detection equipment. By 2553#March|March 2553, it was an old technology and considered mostly obsolete. The Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI stealth-variant Pelican dropship ''Tart-Cart'', used by Kilo-Five, was equipped with carbon nanotube cloaking. Kilo-Five used this feature during their approach on State of Acroli|Acroli, Sanghelios, on a mission to retrieve Evan Phillips|Professor Evan Phillips.Halo: The Thursday War, ''page 221''

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a type of carbon nanofiber, and allotropes of carbon with a nano-structure that can have a length-to-diameter ratio greater than 1,000,000. These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties that make them potentially useful in many applications in nano-technology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science. They exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties, and are efficient conductors of heat. Inorganic nanotubes have also been synthesized.
Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family, which also includes the spherical "buckyballs". The cylindrical nanotube usually has at least one end capped with a hemisphere of the buckyball structure. Their name is derived from their size, since the diameter of a nanotube is in the order of a few nanometers (approximately 1/50,000th of the width of a human hair), while they can be up to several millimeters in length (as of early 21st century). Nanotubes are categorized as single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs).
The nature of the bonding of a nanotube is described by applied quantum chemistry, specifically, orbital hybridization. The chemical bonding of nanotubes is composed entirely of sp2 bonds, similar to those of graphite. This bonding structure, which is stronger than the sp3 bonds found in diamond, provides the molecules with their unique strength. Nanotubes naturally align themselves into "ropes" held together by Van der Waals forces. Under high pressure, nanotubes can merge together, trading some sp2 bonds for sp3 bonds, giving the possibility of producing strong, unlimited-length wires through high-pressure nanotube linking.
They are also used in space elevators, allowing the kilometers-long strands considerable strength and durability.Halo: Contact Harvest, Chapter 1, ''page 28'' They are also used in the tires of the M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|M12 Warthog LRV.Forza 4 Autovista Warthog

File:Large milestones.jpg|thumb|300px|The original Milestone page on Halo Waypoint circa 2009. Career Milestones were Halo Waypoint's overall measure of participation and performance across all ''Halo'' games released from September 2007 (real world)|2007 through 2014. Career Milestones were removed from the web version of ''Waypoint'' on October 13, 2014, and replaced by a simple Gamerscore total (which itself was discontined in 2021 (real world)|2021). They were still visible on the Xbox 360 version until it was shut down on January 13, 2022.
Only Xbox 360, Windows 8, and Windows Phone 8 achievements contributed to Career milestones. Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista and Xbox One achievements were not supported.
Description Milestones were reached by attaining a certain level of Halo gamerscore. When designated Halo Gamerscore levels were reached, new Milestones were earned and awarded in the Career section. Players began at Milestone 1. As new Halo achievements were earned, players leveled up their career milestone. Each additional Milestone beyond level 16 required 100 Gamerscore to unlock; earlier Milestones required fewer.
