| [[Bungie]] has long enjoyed using the number '''seven''' ('''7''') in its games in many prominent ways.<ref>[http://marathon.bungie.org/story/seven.html '''Marathon.Bungie.Org''': ''The Number Seven'']</ref> [[Ensemble Studios]] and authors also have certain obvious seven references in their works about ''Halo''. While almost anything can be made into a reference to something with effort or constructed accidentally through [[wikipedia:pareidolia|pareidolia]], the following attempts to list the intentional references Bungie placed into ''Halo'' for the fans to find. As such, not all of these references may be fully accurate, and many of them may be proven to be false at any time. Bungie's obsession with the number seven may be attributed to 7 being considered a lucky number in Western culture. In spite of the fact that the number seven is featured extensively in Bungie's work, it has generated an aura of [[wikipedia:apophenia|apophenia]]. This cultural nuance can be compared to the [[wikipedia:23 enigma|23 enigma]].

| After [[343 Industries]] took over the ''Halo'' franchise in 2011, references to 7 have continued, possibly as a homage to Bungie.

[[Ensemble Studios]] and authors also have certain obvious seven references in their works about ''Halo''. While almost anything can be made into a reference to something with effort or construed accidentally through [[wikipedia:pareidolia|pareidolia]], the following attempts to list the intentional references Bungie placed into ''Halo'' for the fans to find. As such, not all of these references may be fully accurate, and many of them may be proven to be false at any time. Bungie's obsession with the number seven may be attributed to (or be a determining factor) why [[John-117]] is considered lucky, as 7 is considered a lucky number. |

| | |
| * In the level ''[[From the Deep]]'', there are '''7''' watchtowers stationed around the map.
| | Alternatively, others believe the number to be a reference to "Site 117", an archaeological site containing the first evidence of a human battle. The site is near Jebel Sahaba, Nubia and dates from between 12,000-10,000 BC. The site contains 59 human remains of men, women and children who were clearly killed with primitive hunting implements. |
| * Alice's base in ''From the Deep'' has '''7''' starting structures.

| * On the level ''[[Lights Out]]'', Jerome starts with '''7''' units.

| | It is conjectured that the numbering system for Halo installations' Monitors is, where <math>n</math> is the number of their installation, <math>7^{n-1}</math>. With this in mind, it is reasonable to assume that the number of the Monitor of Installation 07 is <math>7^6=117649</math>. As well as including the number 117 when it is written in base-10 (decimal), it also includes 649. <math>9+4-6=7</math>. |

| | |
| * On the level ''[[The Archive]]'', Voridus starts with '''7''' units.
| | The number 819 appears numerous times in the Marathon series. <math>819/7=117</math>. This tradition started in ''[[Marathon (video game series)|Marathon Infinity]]'', with two secret terminals on the first and last levels of campaign mode. At first sight, these terminals seemed to contain nonsense. However, if the data from both terminals was copied into ResEdit (the classic [[wikipedia:History of Mac OS|Mac OS]]'s hexadecimal editor), converted into text format, then expanded twice with [[wikipedia:Stuffit Expander|Stuffit Expander]], a map file would be revealed which could then be loaded in ''Infinity''. The 819 was a reference to Hamish Sinclair, a prominent member of the community at marathon.bungie.org (the sister site of [[halo.bungie.org]]) as if one assigned letters to numbers sequentially (<math>a = 1, b = 2, c = 3\ldots</math>) then Sinclair's initials, H.S., would be 8.19.<ref>http://marathon.bungie.org/story/hangar96.html</ref> |
