A Very Scientific Halo Experiment

Video game-themed periodic tables are all the rage right now. From popular characters to Xbox games and even to controllers, they’re popping up more often than your mom does on my doorstep. And that’s A LOT. Every time I see a new one, I can’t help but wish there was a Halo version. As my silent prayers have yet to be answered, it’s officially time to create a Periodic Table of the Halo Universe. I’m not sure I can pull this off myself so let’s make it a joint effort. I think we should first place characters and then move onto maps, weapons, locations, and other staples of our favorite fictional world. There is a list of all the elements we need to come up with waiting for you after the jump so get those rusty wheels turning and then start making placement suggestions in the comments. Even if all the slots are filled in, please keep suggesting things. What is listed is not necessarily what will get used. Things such as finding suitable pictures will undoubtedly play a factor in the decision making process. Now get to it! This table isn’t going to make itself you know.

UPDATE: You guys have breezed past placing things in each elements’ applicable slot. You may continue suggesting but let’s also move onto fine-tuning things a bit. I have the ones I am leaning towards bolded next to the corresponding element’s symbol (the ones bolded in red are 99% set in stone ). Please start leaving feedback on the ones you like and the ones you don’t. If there is another option you would choose, please state why. When you are suggesting and/or leaving feedback, please keep in mind there must be images available of each item to be placed in the actual periodic table we are constructing. Obscure references are appreciated, but pictures must be available for them as well.
