I have to say, with all of these theories (I just read Eagles.. *applauds*) I read and some I think of, there are many amazing ones, but what always blows my mind is that Bungie drops just enough randomly placed sporadic hints and clues to figure out their secrets, I mean they -really- thought this through, so many off-the wall tangents lead to this amazing threory which puts everythign into prespective, So many long explanantions and details from the book put so many "Oh, that makes everything a little more clearer". But is it all going to be wasted to the "general" Halo player? If you have read all 3 books, and discussed theories or read them, I wouldn't consider you "general", in my mind "Advanced" fits better. But many, many of the kids who play halo and will play Halo 2 don't know what a forerunner is, why the ring is there other then to hold things for you to kill, and that a grunt "Is Not" directly related to an Elite in any way.
I think Halo 2 will show us many things that prove these theories correct, maybe spark mroe theories, but do you think Halo 2 would be able to explain what just happened to the General player? I mean that by, say, hypothetically, Halo 2 reveals to us that we, humans are *gasp* Actually Forerunners! Some of us will go "I was right!"... but those who dont know what a forerunner is, do you think Halo 2 will be able to explain it to them, the, again, "general" player. Same with all of the other great answers out there that have 1/2 hour explnations to theories?
