Alos another thing (no rants dont worry) to add onto Cool_Cow's theory about the Sphinx... the Pyramid it is rested beside hapens to be the oldest pyramid (Great Pyramid of Khafu) and it also happens to be the sole surviving Seventh (that damn number) Great Wonders of the World... the little bit about the Sphinx being the Forerunner most sacred creature is kinfa of iffy in my books, but what the hell... All of this could be a pile of -blam!- by the time we're done... or it could be a pile of gold... who knows
Happy Huntin

Maybe but in all the movies you only see one side of earth getting blown to hell.

So maybe the covies blitz one side of earth....which means most or all of our forces would be pulled over to help stop the invasion...so if Master Cheif saves or slows the invasion, half of the world would be saved.. Or I am way off.


Sorry to butt in so late in the conversation, but I thought I would point something out. It the Covenant were causing those explosion on Earth in the teaser, you would see a plasma bonbardment from ALL the carriers. Those explosion are happening on the ground, and there has been no mention in the books, nor game, of the Covenant using large explosive devices ( NUKES ) on the ground. Basically what I'm saying is, those explosion you see in the teaser are more than likely Human nukes:)


yeah like at the end of t3 with all the nukes (the t3 trailer reminded me of halo 2, when i seen it i was like, could this be a halo movie??) that was before the talking happend :P lol anyway nice to see ya post here eagle, ive read alot of your theorys in the speculation thread ha ha. got anything to add to this one?

Well, I've got to read through more of the thread to add my speculation... I don't want to be missinformed:)

Maybe I'll wait untill you put all this down in a new organized thread. Then again, my imagination might get the best of me, once again, and I'll start reading this monster of a thread.

Either way, you can expect to hear more from me:)

the humans and covenant 'stumbled' on halo at around the same time i think, after all it was discovered by the humans accidentally in an attempt to lure the covenant away from earth... but there is some evidence that would suggest the covenant had been there a bit longer, like how they were set up on halo and how they found, and i guess explored, the 'compund' in 343 GS, and also the contol room and silent cartographer. so i have to wonder if they r just out to rule the universe, not find some forerunner technology on earth... they had been attacking human colonies throughout the galaxy and were probably getting pissed off that they just kept coming so they wanted to take out the 'mother' planet, but they may find something interesting during their attack? who knows? oh and has anyone ever noticed how in 343 GS there are symbol thingies in the walls? im not certain, but that was a forerunner compound, and the symbols share a close resemblance to the symbols found on some of the elites throughout the game....so maybe the covenant are somesort of decendant of the forerunners, but 343 and the sentinels are assumed to be forerunner, so maybe they were robots of some sort?!? i dunno!? also, in the first little movie where the chief jumps out of the airlock thingy, it is obviously not the bomber that they used to escape halo, it seems alot bigger, it has an elevator...it has to be big!!! so some time must have elapsed between their return to earth and the covenants attack?! i dunno, if the books mention anything to clarify my questions let me know, cuz i havnt read them....yet.... oh and great theories, they are really good to read. if halo 2 doesnt use em, i suggest copywriting them and making some money....but its sad cuz if HALO 2....god forbid....doesnt have a storyline as good as the ones u guys have thought of, theres gonna be alot of dissapointed ppl out there!!! but i recon halo 2 will be the best game ever regardless of storyline!

LMFAO! Yep...RedLeader is offically a freaking phsyco!!!

[color=red] >[/color]But seriously...where would the Sphinx come into play here guys?

Ok, I read the whooooooole thing and i'm very very impressed. Me and Cool Cow are good friends so he told me about this.

Ok, Drax, The Sphinx could come into play several different possibilites.

1. It could have been created by the Forerunners to scare the Egyptians. (Humans aren't exactly geniuses compared to Forerunner am I right?)

2. It could have some kind of a spiritual meaning to the Egyptians and could be a god the Egyptians worship.

3. It could also hold an ancient Forerunner artifact just as the Pyramids do.

This is merely off of the top of my head and I may add on later and everybody else feel free to add on too!

Dude...He may have a point...Maybe the Forerunners ARE humans!


Ok, again Drax, I'll explain something else for you. Just as someone said way back, if the humans were forerunners or ancesters of them the covie wouldn't be killing em all the time. It's simple. The covie wouldn't kill us if we were forerunner.

the reason there are forerunner symbols on some covenant stuff is because they worship the forerunners, and salvage what they find, get engineers to study and fix it and then use it as thier own, taking them on as gifts from thier "gods". Hope that explains what you may have missedi n halo (it IS explained in halo) but is even more in depthyly explained in the novels.

Yea you definetly have to read the books to understand a lot of what we're talking about here. It talks a bunch about the forerunners in the books. Especially First Strike. To understand this you must read the halo novels. So go to your local Barnes & Noble today! :D

I haven't had time to read the whole forum yet, so IDK if this has already been covered. My little entry to ur theory is that, i know someone said that earth might be one of the home planets of the Forunners, or something to that effect. I had a couple add ons

One: the ring world in HALO had many of the same features as Earth. Beaches, Islands, Water, Canyons, Snow, Plants, ect... All of those are native to our dear home planet. They can't be found in any other planet that we know of. Possibly the forrunners modled Halo off of Earth. Could this be a coincidence or more then that?

Two: Expanding on the Egyptian theory. Scientists have found hyrogliphics pointing to refrences to extra terrestrials, lightbulbs, space ships, and many other scientific anomalies. Bungie may have decided this is one way to explain it. Also, what about things such as Stone Hedge, Mayan temples, and many many other un-explained places. Could they have been explained as being built by this strange race? What about the Lockness Monster, Bigfoot, greek mythology.

Now, i may have just been rambling on. Maybe non of this has to do with the game. Maybe most of this has been said. IDK, i haven't had time to read the entire forum yet. I just thought i'd post my ideas while they are still fresh. Maybe you'll like them, maybe you won't, but hey, thats what theorising is for.

1. The Sig is that little quote at the end of all your messages. For you it's -blam!-station Sux Balls. :D (Still love that!)

2. I'm not flaming you or anything but that topic isn't for this section. It belongs somewhere else so please start your own topic if you wanna know how fast people beat the game and such.

3. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I've been reading this thread for a while, and i've noticed talk about humans being forerunners and that if they were the covenant wouldn't be killing them..... Now this is kind of a wild theory....... what if the covenant dont know that the humans are the forerunners. I mean what race truely knows who or what their own gods are. Just thought i'd chime in with my 2 cents.
