Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

No.

Flood don't have anything to do with Earth until long after New Mombasa is completly wiped out, uncovering the Forerunner construct that creates the portal to the Ark.

Depends.

If the events in ODST extend into the timing of Floodgate and the impact of a flood-infected Covenant ship in Voi, then it is possible.
I seriously doubt this. ODST takes place weeks before hand.

Even though your logic does seem possible, I highly doubt it, due to how ODST is supposidly taking place in the 'slighty destroyed' version of New Mombassa. If I remember rightly, In Halo 3, it is mentioned that the covenant were digging the forerunner construct (portal construct) from where the ruins of New Mombassa used to stand. I dont see how the ODST's would still be around that far into the story, unless they got out before the covenant began digging.

I don't know of any announcements regarding the in-game in-story timeline duration of the ODST campaign. I am only stating that IF it extends that far, we would then likely encounter The Flood without a need for any retconning.

While on the Tsavo Highway, we overhear a transmission from ONI Recon 111. I recall that when ODST was named H3: Recon, there was speculation of a link between the player-character and Romeo-111. Just speculation on my part.
I see that, and it's just speculation on my part that it doesn't seem likely that ODST will be that long. Or that it will "jump" (time wise) to that point in Halo 3. Plus it's not neccessary to see Halo 3's events from another POV anyways. The Cheif's summed it up.

Agreed. It really is a big "if".
Yup. But isn't speculation the best part of waiting for a game?

For me, it can be. It tends to become un-fun when people get too much ego invested in their personal theory and feel the need to defend it past the point of reason.

It becomes extremely un-fun when people get leaked or allegedly leaked information and assume that everyone else waiting is like them and wants to "shake the presents" and know what is inside of the box.
Agreed. You and the rest of the mods keep on getting rid of those leaked information threads.
