The '''Control Room''' is a temple-like structure found on [[Forerunner]] [[Installation]]s. Control Rooms are where the [[Activation Index|Index]] is used to activate the Halo's weapon.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref> | |||

[[ | In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], the Control Room for [[Installation 04]] was found in the levels [[Assault on the Control Room]] and [[Two Betrayals]]. | ||
The [[John-117|Master Chief]] reached the main console and inserted [[Cortana]], who sent him to the installation's [[Flood containment facility]] to attempt to stop [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]] from unleashing the Flood. | The main console was found, behind a set of doors with connecting corridors. It has been noted, that when viewed from the top, the main console room resembles the [[Marathon]] logo. The large, dome shaped room features a massive hologram of Halo, and the [[Threshold]] system in its center. Suspended in the air is a large circular catwalk around the planet. There are no other control stations save for the main control console. | ||
The [[John-117|Master Chief]] reached the main console and inserted [[Cortana]], who sent him to the installation's [[Flood containment facility]] to attempt to stop [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]] from unleashing the Flood. He returned to the Control Room at the start of [[Two Betrayals]] to insert the Index as prompted by [[343 Guilty Spark]], but was stopped by Cortana. 343 Guilty Spark then sent [[Sentinel]]s to stop the Chief. After the Chief destroyed the Sentinels, he took Cortana and left. | |||

[[Installation 05]]'s Control Room is | In ''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Installation 05]]'s Control Room is on an island in a sea, entered for the first and last time in [[The Great Journey]] but seen in [[Uprising]]. | ||
Here, the Jiralhanae Chieftain [[Tartarus]] brought [[Miranda Keyes]] to the Control Room along with [[343 Guilty Spark]] to attempt to activate [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]. He succeeded in activating the installation, but was slain by [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]]. The Index was removed by Miranda before the weapon could fire. It consists of a three-leveled structure with a gravity lift in the middle. On all three levels, there are many crates containing [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae variant|Brute Plasma Rifles]] and [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbines]]. | |||

The Control Room for the [[Installation 04B|replacement]] [[Installation 04]] is a nearly identical copy of the Control Room on Installation 04. | |||
The | Rather than fight a longer portion of the level to reach the Control Room, you must only traverse a small section. The temple structure and edifice has the same basic triangular shape as Installation 04's Control Room, with a long support beam running from the ground to the top of the structure. There are minor aesthetic differences, including the walkways on each level being more narrow, as well as the tower at the top being replaced by a large flat landing. | ||
As you progress into the control room, the corridors and doorways are reminiscent of Installation 04, while offering minimal changes. The actual control room and control panel is scarcely different from the original. The large dome-shaped room still shows a holographic image of the halo ring, although Threshold is missing from this image (as the ring has not been moved to that point). When viewed from above, players can easily see the shape of the Marathon logo, as in the original Installation 04. It is here where the Master Chief fights 343 Guilty Spark when he goes rampant because [[John-117]] is going to destroy this installation. | |||
The control room | |||
The differences in design from the original Installation 04 can be partially explained by Cortana, who mentions in a cutscene "Halo. It's so new...unfinished." This "newer" design could also be what Installation 04 originally looked like before the Flood outbreak and the activation of the Halos by the [[Forerunner]]. Also, if you look carefully, you will see that everything is more pristine, clean, and unscathed, unlike the dull and gritty feel the Control Room on [[Installation 04]] gave. | |||

The control room was first seen in the | *The control room was first seen in the pre-Xbox Halo demo in 1999. In the video, the control room was about one-third the size of the version later seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. | ||
*It is most likely that the appearance of the Control Rooms differ with each Installation, since the design of the one found on Installation 04 bears little resemblance to that of Installation 05. Given that not all of the Halo rings known to have existed were built concurrently, it is possible that Installation 05's design was of an earlier/later version than that of Installation 04. | |||
