'''Water''', chemical formula '''H<sub>2</sub>O''', is a common chemical substance. Its chemical make-up is a bond of two [[hydrogen]] atoms and a single [[oxygen]]. | |||
==Universe and lore== | |||
Water is found throughout the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] on a number of [[planet]]s with a variety of climates. Water on these planets are mainly found in [[:Category:Bodies of water|large bodies]]. [[Shield world]]s and [[Halo Array|Halo installations]], both built by the [[Ecumene]], also contained large water bodies. Some beings on these worlds, like the [[Sea worm]] or the [[Sanghelios]] [[Unidentified aquatic creature|creature]], live predominately in the water. | |||
== | Sentient species have utilized water for a number of purposes. [[Human]]s and [[Sangheili]] have both developed [[Human marine craft|vehicles specifically to traverse]] those water bodies. Human and [[Covenant]] engineers have also used water for electricity and [[Plasma]] generation, like [[Ütközet hydroelectric power plant|on]] [[Reach]]{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Nightfall]]}} or [[Hydro-processing center|on]] [[Buwan]].{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Penance]]}} Humans also sell forms of water like with [[H2Oh! Vitamin Water]].{{Ref/Map|HI|[[Bazaar]]}} | ||
The [[Global Water Campaign]] and its [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] were designed to transport the still relatively clean melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] across the entire [[Africa]]n continent. Multiple facilities of the GWC, including [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]] and [[Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03]], were sites of combat during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Level|H3|[[Sierra 117]]}}{{Ref/Level|H3|[[Tsavo Highway]]}} | |||

Water is seen in plain sight during the majority of all the Halo games. It appears in six of the ten levels of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', nine of ''[[Halo 2]]''{{'}}s levels, in three ''[[Halo 3]]'' levels, and in seven maps in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is further seen in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. | |||
In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'', bodies and objects will float on water for a while before sinking. | |||
Water is often utilized as a death barrier in some maps and the player is killed upon hitting the water or when hitting the water becomes inevitable. However in some cases on [[Forge World]] and [[Forge Island]], there are a few water areas that won't kill the player at all. | |||
