Validity of this page[edit]
As there appear to be a vast number of, mostly, unofficial audio logs in the game, these do provide some good background. I think I've even discovered upon similar Data Pad like logs as you can find in Halo: Reach. However, I do not know wether these are legendary specific. I merely found the first on legendary. Look in the description of the page itself. Seeing as the logs do provide a good background and extra information, I think this would be a good place to list them all. Your thoughts? --Thijsbos 15:28, 13 November 2012 (EST)
I think listing them all here is an excellent idea. This page could be quite useful once it has expanded. Of the ones currently listed on the page, I have only found the first. I can confirm that it is available on Normal, Heroic and Legendary. There is also the Log on the first level about John, and the ones on Ivanoff.--Soul reaper 03:49, 19 November 2012 (EST)
Specimen 1534[edit]
The audio log in the room where the Chief fights the hunters has one of the tanks that contains Specimen 1534. To me, it kind of looks like a monitor. Is Specimen 1534 a monitor? More specifically, is it THE monitor for Installation 03? S.g.ali (talk) 00:59, 3 January 2014 (EST)

Speculation on the Composer audio logs[edit]
Is there any way to verify the timelines for some of the Composer audio logs that don't have a stated date? Based on the available information:
- Phosphorus test / Artifact test - Some people got digitzed when the Composer suddenly activated. I can't say for certain which audio log comes first. Also I don't if this happened in 2554 when the Composer was first excavated or in 2557 at Ivanoff Station.
- Ceased transmission - The Composer stopped transmitting something around 0900 on the 21st. Could this be the July 21, 2557 date when the Ur-Didact was released from the cryptum in the Halo 4 campaign? Also, the transmission could be the Composer's coordinates to help the Ur-Didact locate it after crashing the USS Infinity inside Requiem.
- Something big - Something big is happening outside Ivanoff Station. This could be the Halo 4 Composer mission during the July 24, 2557 date.
