This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Halo series

Project Name(s)	Game	Platform	Initial Release		Name Location	Notes	Credit
forerunners	Halo 3	Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows	September	2007	Developer documents	Hosted on David Candland's website, who was a UI designer for Bungie, is a HUD spec document which lists the project as Forerunners.	(Source: David Candland's Website)
atlas	Halo 3: ODST	Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows	September	2009	Internal tag names	Example tag: levels/atlas/h100/h100.scnr is the hub level. Halo follows a consistent folder structure. Halo 3 used levels/solo and levels/multi for campaign and multiplayer levels respectively, with levels/dlc being for dlc levels. ODST follows the same route using levels/atlas for any ODST specific levels.
omaha	Halo: Reach	Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows	September	2010	Internal tag names	Example tags: ui/chud/bitmaps/waypoints_omaha and sound/game_sfx/ui/omaha_ui/exit_experience/rank_up
midnight	Halo 4	Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows	November	2012	Internal tag names and leaked dev builds with the xex name midnight	Example tag: ai/squad_templates/squad_templates_midnight/mid_sq_camp_banshee, xex names usually follow a formula, midnight_tag_test being a tag build with test level of debugging.
groundhog	Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer	Xbox One, Windows	November	2014	Game folder and dll within Halo: The Master Chief Collection	Every game in Halo: The Master Chief Collection has their own folder with in the install directory, most games being their shipping name with no spaces, (eg: haloreach), Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer however keeps its codename of groundhog as the install folder.
osiris	Halo 5: Guardians	Xbox One	October	2015	Internal tag names and behind the scenes videos	Example tag: levels/assets/osiris/props/mp_midship/ms_grav_lift
shiva / olympus	Halo Infinite	Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Windows	November	2021	Internal tag names	Example tag: levels/assets/shiva/unsc/props/radardish_a and ui/olympus/hud/weapons/human/sidearm/hipreticle_sidearm. Shiva and Olympus seem to be used interchangeably, while Olympus is also the code name of the default armor core in multiplayer as seen on ArtStation, as well as "Project Olympus" being used on a pre-vis developer video. It's confusing.	(Source: Dan Chosich's Website // Earliest Known Pre-Visualisation)
