*The data crystal chip was seen extensively throughout ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', as the [[John-117|Master Chief]] uses a data port on the back of his helmet in order to ferry Cortana between his armor and other computer systems. The data crystal chip did not make an appearance in ''Halo 2''. Instead, Cortana could transfer from the more advanced MJOLNIR Mark VI armor straight to any electronic system in direct contact with the suit. However, despite the armor in ''Halo 2'' being the same suit as in ''Halo 3'', the Data Crystal Chip makes a reappearance, and the direct-transfer system is no longer seen. It is possible that this was a deliberate choice to more resemble the transfer system seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', although it is also possible that it was merely for dramatic effect; in the opening cutscene, Johnson, thinking the Chief dead, is able to yank the chip out of the suit, and then ask the Chief about her whereabouts when he realizes the chip is empty.

In ''Halo: 4'' the Master Chief goes back to transfering Cortana via the chip as he did in ''Halo: Combat Evolved.''
