Halo 3 Message Board  

Well, I've been thinking about making this for a couple of days now, and I figured...why not?

This quiz is open for all to participate in. The questions will come from-

-Halo: Combat Evolved, The Game
-Halo 2, The Game
-Halo 2: Xbox Live
-Halo: The Fall of Reach, The Novel
-Halo: The Flood, The Novel
-Halo: First Strike, The Novel
-Halo: The Official Graphic Novel
-Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, The Novel
-Halo 3: General (released) information.
-Halo 3: Xbox Live
And maybe some other random information.

Lots of material here, meaning an abundance of questions.

Questions will also randomly change in difficulty and I will not say how difficult a question is or what part of the Haloverse a question comes from. Points will accordingly be given based on the difficulty of the question and hints will be given if needed.

I am the only one who will conduct this quiz. Please, no one ask questions...just answers to the questions that I give.

The scores will be constantly updated on this post.

Basic forum rules apply. No spamming, flaming or trolling.

And last but not least, the quiz will end when it gets old and wrinkly like.

Question 1-

What is the full title/name to the BR?

Bonus: How many clips may one person have at one time with this weapon?

Battle Rifle

600?

The wrong....<_<

CLIPS I say...CLIPS! Not rounds...

BR55 Battle Rifle (clip: 36 or 12 (It's 12 in halo 3))

BR55HB SR Battle Rifle (only in halo 3) (clip: 36)

[Edited by ste900R, 7/14/2007 10:46:13 PM]

Correct. BR stands for the 'BR55 Rifle'.

The bonus question also said how many clips can one person have at a time. The answer to that is simply, 4.

Also, I would rather you (or anybody for that matter) post unconfirmed rumors. Bungie said nothing so far that I know of about this BR55HB SR Battle Rifle.

One point.

Next question-

What is the 'Keyes Loop' and what ship was used for this maneuver?

Bonus: Give a brief description of what happened. The more detail, the more points. No copying and pasting is allowed.

Not much of a Halo fan but I'll take a crack at it.

My guess- I believe it was a space tactical manuever performed with the Pillar of Autumn

Don't know the bonus question

Keyes Loop: A maneuver by Commander Jacob Keyes at the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV

Ship: UNSC Iroquois

Description: The ship UNSC Iroquois arrived at Sigma Octanus IV for a possible Covenant attack. The UNSC Iroquois was outmatched against one carrier, one destroyer, and two frigates (They thought it might only be four frigates).

The Iroquois was on a collision course to the destroyer at emergency acceleration. It launched a nuclear warhead in the wrong direction. The two frigates launched lots of plasma but the Iroquois managed to evade it. The plasma came around and homed in on the UNSC warship.

At the last minute the Iroquois changed direction and just grazed the destroyers shield, this destroyed a large bit of the Iroquois armor. The plasma hit the destroyer instead. The Covenant warship was destroyed.

The Iroquois did a slingshot around the planet. Once the other side of the planet the nuclear warhead deployed earlier was detonated, this destroyed the shields on the two frigates. After its orbit the Iroquois destroyed the two frigates with two MAC rounds and hundreds of Archer missiles.

The carrier then left and escaped!
