HEAVY SPOILERS FOR HALO 5
What if Halo CE Anniversary’s depiction of Installation 04 is canon?
To my knowledge (haven’t finished Primordium yet), at least two Halos were part of the initial group of twelve Installations that were 30,000km in diameter.
After losing almost half of them, the second bunch with only 7 Halos of 10,000km was dispatched and some of the original twelve were modified to fit the new Array.
- Okay, let’s assume these Installations have a different design than the rest. That would explain why in the A Hero Falls trailer, we see a Halo ring with Halo CEA’s design. - We know that Zeta Halo was one of those re-purposed Halos, and that it is under UNSC-Sangheili control since Hunters In The Dark.Putting these two points together, and considering it doesn’t seem like they simply re-used Halo CEA’s 3D model for the trailer, I think it may be safe to assume that both Halo 04 and 07 are sporting a different design because of their origin.
And now… Halo 5’s legendary ending.
Cortana is heard humming as a Halo installation comes into view. It seems to have a re-drawn Halo CEA design, the only major difference is that it has some extra lights, but the perimeter pins seem to be there.
Therefore, could it be Zeta Halo?
