I was looking into Halo comms as well. I used to play semi-professionally.

Master Chief is John 117. The 17 stands out, also could be a Bible verse?

"17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."

Grunts: Generally thought of as unintelligent, but in truth they are just poorly treated and uneducated. Sound familiar?

Elites: Elites were originally the only species allowed to build and pilot starships. Does it even count as symbolism when they literally just call them elites, lol? Ships, I've come to realize are some kind of op. Whether it's Earnest Shackleton's ship, or the Enterprise, or even Noah's Arc; these are all referring to a kind of op.

Halo: The Halos are rings that can destroy all advanced life. Basically the same story as Mass Effect and the reapers. Also, the ring symbolism is of strings/control. Same as The One Ring, or any magic rings in 'fiction.'

The same story is told over and over everywhere once you recognize the pattern. Human civilization progresses along a predetermined path, to eventually be culled and reset in a cycle of death and rebirth. Thing is, I think we stopped it this time. Anyone seen Eternals? That's what that's about. Also think Game of Thrones, the wheel is broken. Same story in Paradise Killer and a multitude of other media.
