The number "16" on Chief's cryotube(Theory)

On the action figure of Chief’s cryotube, the number “16” is visible. Do you think it has a meaning, or has any importance? I just can’t see why 343i would put the number there without it being some sort of clue.

My theory, is that it might correspond to the numbers from the tv show “LOST”. On LOST, 16 was a number that represented a character named Sayid. Sayid’s fate might be a clue to something for Chief or another character in Halo 4; a small, but possible insight.

Sayid on the final season of LOST, was taken over by an evil force on the island. He became sort of a lifeless servant for the evil, being promised that his lost love could be brought back to him by the evil. Sayid eventually overcame the evil inside of him, and sacrificed himself by taking a bomb and running away with it to save his friends. His final line, to the main hero of the show, Jack, was: “It’s going to be you, Jack”. This meant that Jack was the person who was supposed to save everyone and stop the evil.My main theory is this: Cortana=Sayid; Cortana is taken over by rampancy,(darkness), and may or may not turn bad. She eventually sacrifices herself somehow to save the important people in the story, especially Master Chief(Jack) because he’s the one who’s supposed to save everything. Chief could also signify Sayid, but I can’t see Chief being taken over by an evil, maybe sacrifice, though.

I know this may sound ridiculous, but it’s only a theory, and I just can’t see 343i putting the 16 there for no reason. Either way, I’m excited for Halo 4.

bit of a stretch…

Very interesting theory, OP. I love it!

But, I’m afraid that number on his cryo-tube may only mean that it’s the sixteenth one in the ship.

Maybe 343i is to 16 as Bungie is to 7.

Really scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Come on 343, look what you have resorted us to!

That’s a pretty awsome theory. It probably isin’t real, but that doesen’t get rid of the fact that it’s a nice assumption.

all that from one number, this deserves credit for the imagination required to conceive it.

gives you the answer to everything

The “16” Verifies that there will be 16 max players. no more, no less.

Or it could symbolize Android 16 from DBZ.

Or… You know, nothing at all.

Maybe…just maybe…it’s cryotube number 16.

Man, you beat me to it.

16 signifies how many stupid theories there are posted on these forums every 5 minutes.

Until we get REAL info, Theories are all we have. no need to be a -Yoink!-.

I was stating my opinion and frustration, without the need of insulting someone. There is no need for so many theories, now is there?

Theories keep this forum alive. and the overload of them gives us things to hope for.

So that means, Cell is making a return in Halo 4. Quite interesting, Chief’s in some deepshit now.

Or… 1+6=7??? The number 7!!! O_o

This guy is onto something!

Awww…you beat me to it.

It just, just possible though. I would NOT count on it.

I’d much rather 343i use the ultimate answer the number 42.
