Bungie's 7 Tradition Continuing?

Games Other Halo
1

19 Multiplayer Maps
50 Spartan Ops Maps

So. If 343i were to continue tradition with the seven thing, then there will probably be 8 campaign missions!

19+8+50=77

(Note: this is counting first 3 DLC mappacks and not the second season of Spartan Ops.)

Now, another thing is, is that the DLC will probably launch 77 days after launch. This also continues Halo Tradition.

I hope there is more than 8 campaign missions…

So do I…so do I.

> I hope there is more than 8 campaign missions…

Yeah, for real.

5

Edit

Sure hope it’s not 8 campaign missions. I doubt they are secretly trying to aim for bungie’s traditional number.

The 7 idea seems likely because it is still Halo but everything bungie has ever done has revolved around 7 and they will continue that but 343 could also take that and use it too since many former bungie employees are within 343.

> You have a source on 8 campaign missions? That’s a bit short

No confirmation. Just a guess. We could go 3 dif. routes however for 77.
No DLC: 10 multiplayer maps, 50 Spartan Ops maps, 17 campaign maps
1 DLC: 13 multiplayer maps, 50 Spartan Ops maps, 14 campaign maps
2 DLC: 16 multiplayer maps, 50 Spartan Ops maps, 11 campaign maps

Let’s not forget:

E3 SPOILERS AHEAD

The Campaign demo!

Infinity begins crashing onto Requiem

Chief: “Track its decent.”

Cortana: “Impact projected 77.8 kilometers north.”

77…

I am leaning toward 1st DLC as then we would have 77 days after launch, we would get 13 multiplayer maps, 50 Spartan Ops, and 14 Campaign. That adds up to 77. ALSO, 14 / 2 = 7

10

I hope they continue the traditional 7, its always a warm feeling. But 8 campaign missions? I hope not.

Damn you are faster than my apparently slow editing skills. Yeah, I figured you were guessing.

Oh god. 77 stands for well 7…and 8…missions?

I think you might be looking into this just a tad too much…

14

Maybe, but they ARE keeping some things 7.

If so, they’re probably not intentional, like half the 7 references in past Halo games.

I don’t think they made 77.8 kilo. up randomly.

No, but they could have calculated it’s approximate using Physics by using the ship’s size, weight and location.

18

And just happening to get 77…I still don’t know.

Why would 343 Industries go and make a bunch of 7 references though? It’s Bungie’s thing, not theirs.

It’s more of a Halo thing now, though.
