In Halo the rings are named for the order they were built and then also for the order they fired in. Do the names change each time they fire?

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

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

I thought it could go either way, like single installation or the entire array but no idea. They did fire the entire array and then reseeded life prior to the events of the first game from my understanding.

All six of the smaller ones made by the lesser ark from halo 3 as well as one bigger older ones fire about 100000 years before the events of the games. The 19th halo, installation 08 that was being built to replace 04(that we blew up) also fires independently destroying its self(because incomplete) and is replaced by 09.

So one array fire and one incomplete solo fire both to wipe out flood infestations.

Neat! All of this is making me sad about the current state of the franchise because I’m now wanting play through the first 3 again.

I just pretend the series ended at 4. The Greg bear and Karen Traniss books are good too.
