Subject: What is the significance of the legendary ending?

Spoilers, obviously, if you come into this thread and say there was no spoiler warning in the title, then I'm afraid there's little hope for you as a human.

Why bother showing truth looking at the ark? By the time truth got there, they had already been digging the ark up for a month, they already knew what it was, the dreadnought had already landed in the center, otherwise truth wouldn't have bothered to come yet.

Oh hey, here's a scene of truth looking at a buried portion of the ark. Who cares that they've already dug up 99% of it, let's show them the section that isn't dug up.

Maybe they wanted to show the the superintendents data core was right next to the ark all along......but does that matter at all? No. They show quite clearly that the entire city was right next to the ark all along.

The Legendary Ending confused me too until I saw it a second time. I just hope this ending has some sort of significance tied into the Halo story that was not explained yet. And if not, why show us this scene if we already know what happens to the portal and the Prophet, etc.?

Pretend you played ODST before Halo 3, and then look at it.

Wait, that still doesn't explain anything...

Yeah, you have a point.

I beat it on legendary in my first playthrough, and I assumed the bonus was Johnson talking to the engineer. That's the way I would have done it, anyway. Extra info should be a bonus.
Like the way the Halo:CE legendary ending shows a pre-mark of shame Arby and Sgt. Johnson before the blast. Or the one for H3 leaves the series a little more open for more.
