It isn't our shiznit anymore.

You should probably put Other Forerunner in the poll. It seems the theory on it being forerunner but not Onyx is a big possibility.

It's got to be a forerunner planet. Think about it for a second. Unless SOMEHOW the rear half of the ship got through that portal then it's probable that the planet seen is a forerunner planet. Perhaps it was built as a sort of safe haven if all the rings were set off since it seems to be outside of our galaxy (just like the ark is). However, think about this. If they didn't get sent through the portal, and weren't sent somewhere out of the way then why wasn't said planet discovered before they set off to the Ark? How long did the Chief and Cortana drift and at what speed? Is it possible that even though they missed their chance to get home via portal, that it still could have sent them somewhere? A lot to think about, huh?

My personal opinion? Either a subtle hint at their former glory, Marathon. Or yet another cliffhanger to make space for another sequel, come the right time. I think we will see a Halo 4 after Halo Reach. Don't ask why because I don't know, it just seems like it's bound to happen. Why else travel in time unless it is to set the stage for the future? ODST= To introduce us to a new main playable character and build upon the already existing story= ODST main character shows great promise in battle and is chosen to aid in a search for the Chief and Cortana?

Secret Forerunner System isn't a good term. I'd go with more of a Forerunner planet.

but also i have a feeling that the humans are the forerunners. i cant remember what game or where, but the oracle says something to the chief about HIS (the chiefs) forerunners. ancestors?

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

Little known fact:

When the files for Halo 3 were hacked it was discovered that the name of the graphics for that planet is "Forerunner Planet".

If I recall the terminals throughout the game are messages from a rebel forerunner AI that was put out of commission to the extent that it was only allowed to communicate. In one of the messages the AI explains that the forerunners found humans and that they thought we showed great promise and potential which is why they left us that "gift" in Africa. If I'm wrong on any of this call me out.

This is not meant as a flame but I believe that most people believe these sorts of things based on snap judgements rather than facts.

There's no reason to believe that planet has anything to do with Marathon. In fact, Bungie already stated there'd be no cross over into the Marathon universe. I think when we're presented with a mystery we tend to make a quick decision based on whatever inspires us. Once you've drawn some type of conclusion it's nearly impossible to shake it. Facts will rarely disabuse anyone of the immediate conclusions they've drawn in this type of situation.

Read. Every terminal message, on every difficulty. One of the ones talking is the rebel AI if I can recall. I haven't read all these since H3 first came out and people were flipping out over this and thought these had anything to do with the skulls.

I know I am but what are you?

I wish I could. It was an obscure post somewhere.

I have no doubt as to the reliability of the information and I remember the post clearly. I just haven't been able to locate it for referance purposes. Anyone would be well within their rights to doubt this fact but it still informs my personal opinion on the matter because it was first hand information to me.

alright. well maybe you are right. to be convinced id have to see a link. but it sounds good to me

ok what happened was there was a planet called reach if you read the book you will figure out about 10 spartans were sent to its surface to fight when they were in the pelican the locating and communication divice blew away so everyone thought they had died like everyone else but they actually landed safely and made it to some kind of underground bunker when the platent was as they say "glassed" they people inside were the only ones who lived those spartans were i believe kelly and the rest of mc's troops. so then you read "ghosts of onyx" and then they are on the planet still but knowone knows of there survival so then reach after it was blown up became onyx. ~~~~ also i have read all the books so i would know~~~~
