Giant Enemy Scarab: Attack its weakpoint for massive damage!

Post your theories about parts of the teaser trailer here.

My idea?

I've watched the trailer a couple of times now, and I have a few theories.

Hear in the trailer, where somebody goes 'We're coming in hot, hold on'? That was Fred, when he accidentally spammed all frequencies on the way down to reach. (You would know what I'm talking about if you've read First Strike)

I'm betting that Nova One is the pelican that they were coming down in, which was destroyed on the way down - Hence losing contact.

This would make sense, as soon after, the Spartans land on the ground - this is easily heard in the trailer.

This is all assuming that Reach is going to be in canon with the Halo books, of course.

EDIT: I just realized something else, which further backs up my theory. Just after the quote I mentioned? You can hear the same voice (ie. Fred or at the very least, another Spartan) saying 'We just lost our bird!'

This would definitely fit in with the theory that Nova One is the Spartans' pelican, and that voice in the trailer is Fred's.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. Understand the meaning of these words. It matters not how we complete our task, only that it's done.

Sounds solid. That was an intense moment action-wise, be cool to see that in the game.
