Monument to NOBLE Team
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Monument to Noble Team, also known as the Monument of Light, was a part of the "Remember Reach" marketing campaign for Halo: Reach. It can be accessed from here.[1]
Introduction[edit]
Upon entering the site, the following lines were displayed:
| “ | When all hope on Planet Reach seemed lost, Noble Team stood united in defense of humankind. |
” |
User interaction[edit]
The site then displayed a KUKA robot arm, which could be viewed in real time as it drew points of light across the screen. Users could plot their own points via Facebook Connect, which were then displayed on the screen.[1]
Noble Team memorial[edit]
The robot arm would draw 54,439 points of light over the next 20 days, a reference to the number 7. When completed, it displayed a picture of the five members of Noble Team standing together.[2]
The site also displayed five points that were accessible by clicking on them. Each point corresponded to a member of Noble Team, excluding Noble Six.[1]

Trivia[edit]
- The song that plays while users are on the site is Ghosts of Reach.
- Noble Six is missing from the monument. This is due to the fact that Six's appearance, including every aspect of the Spartan's armor, and even their gender, is dependent on player choice.
- There is an error on Emile's portrait: his kukri and the shotgun shells on his forearm are on his left side, not his right. This could have been done intentionally to avoid them being hidden behind Carter.
- Curiously, Jun is wearing his helmet in the image on his profile. Emile also wears his, but while Emile never takes off his helmet in Halo: Reach, Jun's face is seen several times. Note that Jun also kept his helmet on in the Reach VGA 09 trailer.
- This memorial also signifies the order of Noble Team's deaths, starting with Jorge. Jun is last, to signify that he is the only member of the team to survive.
