ok so it may not be likely but it may be possible and a cool thing to do because we know teleporters exist in halo so what if there were teleporters to each ring wouldn’t that be cool.
They would have to have a need to go to the other rings, not that it’s not possible, but there would need to be a reason for a portal to take them to different Installations.
I assume what you are referring to is the translocation grid system used on a Halo (and other) installations. Apologies if that is not the case, and you are actually referring to a slip space portal like what was over Voi.
Monitors used these grids to rapidly transport themselves from one part of a ring to another. Travel between two different installations would require vast amounts of power that, to this point, has only been possible using slip space engines on a large space craft. I don’t recall anything in the lore that says a translocation grid encompasses more than just one installation.
It reminds me of the new Star Trek series that introduced us to the personal trans-warp beaming device… If you can teleport an individual across the galaxy, then what would be the point of a star ship? The answer is that a star ship would become immediately obsolete since you wouldn’t need one to travel vast distances in space.
They would have to activate the slip space drive for Delta Halo to get to another one. There is still a problem with that though. If im not mistaken once the Halo Ring gets to its destination at the end of slip space from the Ark, it should not be able to travel to another Ring location because each Ring has its own location, which the location setup is on the Ark itself. So if anything they would have to take Delta Halo back to the Ark (assuming that it can be done) and then summon the desired Halo to the Ark as well. Then you will Have 2 Halos and the Ark in one spot. That would make for a chaotic story.
I mean there is two problems with what you said, assuming I myself haven’t missed out any lore.
Firstly, let’s go with the obvious, I don’t believe you can teleport from one Halo ring to another Halo ring, you can only teleport from one part of a Halo ring to another part of the same Halo ring, for example I don’t think it would be possible to teleport from Zeta Halo (07) to Delta Halo (05), but Guilty Spark was able to transport from one part of Alpha Halo (04) to another part, as there is a translocation grid, plus it wouldn’t be galaxy threatening if the flood was contained on that ring, proof of that being look at the outbreak on Delta Halo (05) which wasn’t galaxy threatening. The reasoning for why they can’t teleport to other Halo rings is because like Guilty Spark said (paraphrasing), if a monitor was captured by the flood, and was given the logic plague, then the flood would be able to travel to other installations gaining the knowledge from that captured monitor, hence why they were restricted to their own Halo ring, and had only limited knowledge about the outside world. In short it’s basically to limit the knowledge the flood would gain if they were to capture a monitor. It can be likened to if the monitor of Delta Halo (05) had of known how/had the power to teleport to other Halo rings, the flood would’ve spread across all of them, threatening the galaxy, therefore solidifying why they cannot or are restricted to teleport to other Halo rings.
Secondly (and I promise this isn’t as long), is that we would need a very good reason to do so. I personally think the Ark is off limits due to the Spirit of Fire/Banished conflict that is going on there. Maybe we may see a ending cutscene to Infinite to tie Halo Wars 2 in with the mainline game after Infinite, as we have seen that Anders is being thrown into Infinite so why bot throw all the other characters in too, right? To solidify this point why would we need to go to other Halo rings in all honesty, the only installation I could see the UNSC needing to go to is the one Anders was on, the third Alpha Halo (09), or the Ark (because it controls all the Halo rings which Cortana may be planning to fire). But as for why they may need to go to the third Alpha Halo (09) could be because Cortana is planning on activating it using Anders, and so they head there to stop it and then Zeta Halo (07), or vice versa travelling from Zeta Halo (07) to the third Alpha Halo (09). Just as a side note, the reason I’m mentioning Zeta Halo (07) is because in the Infinite announcement trailer, it is heavily hinted that is where the UNSC shown in the trailer are. But other than the points mentioned above, I can’t think of reasons why they need to go to other Installations.
Well that was my 2 cents on this topic, and I tried to go into as much detail as possible ensuring I covered everything. As for the second paragraph, I may have lied as I don’t think it is that short but it is shorter than the first at least lmao. Other than that though, I think I’ve said my piece.

I didnt even think about the flood in that aspect. Beast is right though, if there was a way to teleport between the Halo rings then the flood outbreak would be infinitely worse due to them gaining that knowledge.
well, allthough there are manny portals to various places due to time and disaperance of hugork to maintan them manny portals do not work or lead to the wrong place …or worse but it is possible that chief is being ssent to destroy these rings and possibly travel to difrent ones however, though this is just a theroy
In a way that would be cool but ask yourself this: How much longer would a game be by using this feature and how much interest would gamers keep if the game went on and on with no end in site. With a game there is always a beginning, a middle, and an end. All of us work hard to get to the end to see how the story unfolds. If there is no end then it becomes Halo’s version of Days of Our Lives.
I wouldn’t be objected to it as long as it’s limited.
I would like to see multiple installations in the game. Mainly the Ark so the SoF would come back lol. But the hope is it is Zeta Halo and The Lesser Ark.

More halo rings in a game doesnt necessarily mean a longer game.
You barely touch 1 ring in halo 3, and you also visit in the ark.
The real issue is what does more rings add to the story that having 1 ring doesnt? The surface of a ring is rather varried as is.

I haven’t watched much Star Trek, but I agree with the sentiment. As to your analysis, I think that’s spot on, and an excellent differentiation between Slipspace Jump and Translocation Teleport.
