I like the way Bungie is toying with our minds until on 11/9 they explain the forerunner and we will be totally wrong

The world in constructed(11/9)... rather than being destructed(9/11)

Also very good point to whoever mentioned the temples... the thought had crossed my mind but was drained out by so many discoveries...

Also to add onto a Cool_Cow's post on page 12... the Prophet at the very end of First Strike stated that, and I quote "Soon the Great Journey shall begin" then he continued "And let nothing in this universe impede our progress.
Now some people say that when someone (Pharohs and the like) was buried inside a Pyramid (though no bodies were ever found i might add), where ever the tip of the Pyramid pointed toward in the sky would be the "Last Great Journey" into the "Immortal Place".
Could this be the Journey that the Prophet was talking about... using the Pyramids to find this Immortal Place (perhaps the resting place of the Forerunner... or perhaps something even more...)
Connections just keep on coming...

My idea:
Ok first of all to "get" my idea you have to watch the E3 2003 video of the SP level on earth,ok?.

Anyway it's at the start of the video where MC comes out of the pelican, he meets the marine whos taking MC to the captain(general,whatever..) when he's walking down the ramp if you listen carefully to the marine thats bringing the wounded marine up the ramp the marine says"those mechines!", then it got me started thinking "what if those mechines he was talking about where the sentinals?".

What if the monitor does make a deal with the covenant?, what if the covenant want to destroy earth and mankind but the monitor tells them not too becuase he wants something from earth?, or perhaps the monitor wants MC and he attacks earth knowing MC will come and help?. Any thought will be helpful.

The Plasma heats the sand up so much that it turns to glass hence the name "Glassing"

  • 07.04.2004 6:23 PM PDT

When will you people learn that war IS a game?

I think that the Forerunners definately visited earth. And they also probably did it before they built halo. Point being that halo is like an exact copy of Earth, Weather patterns, atmosphere types, geologic simalarities, I have no idea why the would want to copy earth. Any ideas?

Okay. It's time for you guys to stop showing off your "knowledge". The pyramids are in Egypt. New Mombasa is not. Just because they are on the same continent does not mean that the pyramids are the Covy objective. Actually, I think the presence of the Covie cruiser in New Mombasa is an accident. The ship was damaged "... it took two in the nose before..." (E3 Demo) and was forced to land, much like the TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION was damaged on Halo. Naturally, to protect their ship while conducting emergency repairs, the Covies deploy troops to secure the city. While they're at, they might as well take some real-estate, right? However, this doesn't seem to me to shed much light on the covie objective besides the obvious: they aren't glassing Earth. Why? We don't know. After their behavior on Reach, when they glassed all but a small portion of the planet, two things can be concluded: either 1) that the Covies want all of Earth for some reason, but need to kill all the humans the old fashioned way, or 2) they don't know where on Earth their objective is. We can speculate that there's a Forerunner artifact on Earth; it certainly fits in with previous behavior. But if you're right, and the guys at Bungie are so unoriginal and pathetic that they'd make the PYRAMIDS alien constructions, then I'm very dissapointed. We know that the Pyramids were built by humans. It was possible and they did it. You don't need fuch`n aliens to move large rocks. Just a lot of people on ropes. Also, of COURSE the pyramids point to certain stars. Everything points to a certain star. How can it not??? The sky is full of stars. Everything that points up, points at a star. That does not mean there's any significance to this!!! God, if Bungie is falling into the same old plot as Star Gate, then Bungie, I shall no longer worship you.

If you took the time to read some of the things rather than rant on about something we already clarifyed...
1) that our "Knowledge" is just reaserch and specualation.... which we had stated numerous times
2)We did say anything about New Mombassa having pyramids anywhere near it...
3)Bungie can do whatever the hell they want with the past, present and of course the future... even if we are horribly wrong, though there is quite a lot of evidence to back it up...
4) As yo said WE DON'T KNOW why the Covies aren't glassing Earth, we are trying to discuss why WE THINK that they aren't... and its perfectly plausable
5) The simple fact that there are too many connections, cooincidences and evidence to state that there isn't a slight possibility that Halo 2 could take us to the Pyramids...

Agian (sounding like a broken record) I state that this is specualation and a bunch of people trying to find out what might happen... personally i dont why some of you (no names) get all tensed up because someone is stating their opinion.... then again it does help us to strive for more evey time...

Subject: New theory
  • gamertag:

  • last post: 01.01.0001 12:00 AM PDT

This is a pretty insubstantial theory, or actually, several theories.
One is that the flood was conquering everything, and the covenant and the forerunners, teamed up and drove the flood into the ringworlds, where they forced the flood into the facilities using their AI's and robots so the flood wouldn't have anything to eat or infect (343 Guilty Spark!) and left the AI to defend the rings in case of the flood breaking loose, but in order keep in safeguarded, made it so that the AI contructs could not use it without the help of one of the forerunners. This of course, brings up my theory that human are the forerunners. After the flood was subdued, the forerunners allies turned on them and eliminated them, but the Halo's were not revealed to the covenant. Maybe the covenant fought them all the way back to a Halo, and they had to make the decision to either try to fight them off, or activate the ring and prevent the Covenant from entering the ring, maybe 343 himself was there, goading them into doing it "Last time, you asked me what i would do if it was my choice, my answer remains the same, the ring must be activated" That is not the exact wording, and I think it did say something about the flood, so maybe the flood had been released as well. Despite 343's goading, the forerunners decided to simply drive them off, or maybe..... use the flood against them. The covenant were nearly destroyed but managed to defeat the flood using the technique of glassing over infected planets. Maybe then the covenant exterminated the human race, or so they thought. Maybe one ship managed to crashland on earth. When the Covenant saw humans again, they recognized their ancient enemy from their histories, and the Prophets naturally wanted exterminate their ancestors ancient enemy. Something that sort of supports this is the fact that 343 kept on referring to the master chief as "reclaimer" maybe 343 was referring to reclaiming their forerunners technology! 343 seemed genuinly shocked that the master chief didn't know that he was about to exterminate all life within a ten thousand lightyears or something. 343 simply assumed the master chief was one of the forerunners coming back to activate the facility.

My other theory still relies on that humans are the forerunners, but maybe they created both the Halo's, AND the flood as a weapon to use against some kind of enemy, Covenant or something. They had created the Halo's as a failsafe in case the flood got out of hand, since they had super technology, they could simply leave the range of it and destroy all life in the sector the flood were in. Naturally a tactic like this would piss the covenant off to no end. There is also the fact that Keyes said he was looking for a weapon cache. It is possible that it was a weapon cache, just not the type he was looking for, it was the ultimate BIOLOGICAL weapon. 343 also said that Halo was built to study and contain the flood and that their survival as a race was dependent upon it. Maybe they had a very powerful enemy that the only thing they had to effectively combat was the flood, so they used to flood to protect themselves. As before, i think 343 was created by the forerunners to manage the flood, but not activate the ring. "A unit with my classification cannot perform a task so important as the reuniting of the index with the core" Even after the chief turned on him, he still said, he would have to find another. That leads me to the conclusion that his programming would not allow him to do it, a forerunner would be the only one allowed to reunite them and activate "Halos final weapon" That of course being a safeguard against their AI turning on them, or activating it at the wrong time.

Thats the most I have typed since school ended. A lot of good ideas tied together with groundless speculation, but i am willing to bet that one of these theories will be at least PART right.
