Subject: My theory on the Halo 3 story...come share yours

Inside the Mind of Halotitan Help me get expand my mind.

I'm not really quite sure to make out of the video I saw...i'm gonna assume that the structure shown opening is the arc...who knows though....in the update it said something about earth already being defeated....wtf...isn't the halo stories about defending earth, fighting for humanity...isn't that the point of stopping halo? Well anyway my theory is that the cheif has to fight to get earth back...but maybe some of his pals...say other spartans make apperances finally? Maybe Dr. Halsey?

And how about the launch date on Halo 3?? 2007?? Come I'm sure they had the Halo 3 story in the planning stages as Halo 2 was being released....my theory is that this date is a hoax...another one of bungies sly tricks...i think that the real release date will be on November 17 2006...does that date remind anyone of something else?? It just a possibility and everyone knows how bungie tends to surprise their fans....this game could have been two years in the making

I think also the structure is the ark, and this video(if its in the game), comes 2/3rds in to the game after MC has fought his way there. Hence his suit being all rotten. I wish i had read the books so i knew who Dr Halsey was.

Um so yer saying bungie says 2007 and yer saying November '06. Last time I checked, Bungie were the ones making the game and deciding. I mean, I'm not flaming or anything I want the game to come out ASAP.

I think I'd rather have them take 3 years for a flawless game, rather than "rushing" it and not having "enough time" for it. If we (the fans) demand the game they will release it unfinished, just like Halo 2.

Or maybe Bungie is farther than they say they are, if they said at all. All in all I hope it's early 2007.


Bungie is making the game...like i said it was just my theory not a demand....I believe Bungie has been working on halo 3 since maybe before Halo 2 was even put out...thats a long time and I think for microsoft to try and take hype away from the PS3 that they need something to counter it...and that MAYBE (remember this is a theory) they lied about it being 2007 and it is really the same release date (November 17 2006) as the PS3....either way I don't care I just want a copy of the game ;)

halo 3 theory:
Well the trailer could be a sort of a bit where the master cheif has fought through many covenant enemies and made it to the ARC and sees that the covenant have already found it and he is like all the games the last chance for the survivail of not just of humanity but the univers that is known and unexsplored and he makes it down there fights many brutes and stuff after a while ends up in the control room with notin but a sniper and smg with the room filled with the prophet of truth's guards and 1 (himself) he fights through them completely alone no where to turn but straight ahead and stop the covenant from activating THE ARC , the master cheif can't stop them and he is in a situation where he must sacrifice his life the the universe and before he does it he says his goodbyes to every1 (cortana, johnson, the marines , commander keyes, the arbiter and more) through a radio thing in his head then as some of the ppl get said and say something like good luck, NOOOO, goodbye mate, and stuff like that then his mechancal parts interfere with the signal thing from the ARC and when he trys to get there is shows ghosts of the ppl that suported him and then the covenant running from behind shooting at him (pathetically) he jumps out and like a signal wave or sumthing goes off and he leaps out in the center of th ARC and then he falls to the bottom floor 200 feet down but everything dies around in a 800kilometre radius (or sumthing like 700 miles ) meaning the bad covenant are dead and (before that happened) the good covenant ppl and humans and stuf escape before he goes in alone. after that the gravemind shows him self and says sumthing like" you have risked life and soul to protect life and for that i grant you it" or sumthing and then it shows the amster cheif like sparks sort ofg twicthing off him then he starts to move and gets up and the gravemind helps him up to the ARc and then the master cheif says sum cool line and then it ends in credits with Marty's music. well this what i thought up in 20 mins while just writing crap to throw in so if it sounds like i sat there and thought hard your wrong and i finish by saying " the world if yous for the taking but you need to reach it first"(more crap)

It will be Nov 2007, Nov is their month...the only other date in my mind is 07/07/07 due to their love of the number 7.

And at the end of the Trailer it says 2007 to yet another person that says 06.

Its coming out in 2007. Dates I have no thero or idea. But I KNOW its gana be 2007. One thing Bungie is DEFENETLY dooing. Halo 3 will be one of the best games ever made EVER. With so much time and so many great ideas and new technology to allow those ideas. 2007 will be the year.

GOD BLESS YOU BUGIE! But plsease fix MULTIPLAYER! MUAHAHA

isn't the halo stories about defending earth, fighting for humanity...isn't that the point of stopping halo?
Not really. The war with the Covenant is a big part of the story, but given that the name of the series is Halo, not The Covenant War, you can assume that the story revolves around the purpose the rings were built for: to stop the flood. The reason Master Chief defends Earth is because it's his home, would you not do the same?

but maybe some of his pals...say other spartans make apperances finally? Maybe Dr. Halsey?
Highly probable. I say this because the trilogy of books outlines were developed by Bungie, in the so-called 'Halo Bible' (at least, from what I've read anyway), and therefore there must be a purpose for several of the other SPARTANs to have survive, and for Dr. Halsey to have taken off with Kelly. All will be revealed.

And how about the launch date on Halo 3?? 2007??
It seems logical. You have to remember that when they started this game the technology to design games for the 360 was still primitive at best, and given how much they are pushing the capabilities of the 360 so early in its life, they will need all the time they can get to make sure the game is flawless.

thats a long time and I think for microsoft to try and take hype away from the PS3 that they need something to counter it
I think Microsoft have always known that a game cannot take away the hype of a console. The prices for a start mean that the game would be small change, and anyone who can afford to buy both consoles would easily be able to buy both the game and the console. Ignoring that, if Microsoft leave Sony to their own devices, Sony will destroy their place in the console market soon enough, given what I've read on the reports of E3.

My theory:
Master Chief's return to Earth on-board the forerunner ship is followed by a long battle on that ship as he tries to kill Truth. Truth escapes and brutes cover him as he does, leaving Master Chief to kill those and find a way off the ship. Whether it has landed at this point or not I'm not sure. Not really a big issue, if it hasn't he'll find a way to get back onto one of the orbital platforms or straight down to the surface, the outcome is the same either way.

Master Chief makes it to the Ark, that forerunner structure in the trailer (this is practically undisputable at this point, as it sends out a pulse similar to what we saw building at the end of Halo 2, clearly meant to trigger the other installations for a simultaneous culling of all organic matter), and has to fight his way inside. It is at this point (or perhaps on the orbital platforms, again depending on where the forerunner ship is when he exits it) where he meets up with the other SPARTANs.

With their help he makes it inside, and they attempt to deactivate the structure and nullify the pulse. The flood make their appearance and Gravemind attempts to destroy the structure also, having learnt of its purpose. Realising this, Master Chief changes his plan, and instead of trying to deactivate the rings, he is forced to fight against the flood and make sure the remaining halos activate to destroy the flood.

The Arbiter will also play some part in fighting against the flood, though it may not be on Earth (given an ambiguous situation: does he have any way to get there?), and he may instead be trying to deactivate the rings because he hasn't realised the futility of trying to fight against the flood in normal combat.

That's about all I can theorise.

I was thinking 7/7/2007 too, but probably unlikely since they love the profit of the holiday season more than their love for se7en. I'm thinking Nov. 2007.

It dosn't really tell you where dr. Halsey is she leaves in a ship and you never see her again. if you want to read the books go buy them.

if u read the book of halo then u would know that there is a girl spartan that they rescue and out into cryo stasies in halo 1 because shes badly wounded
so that could be what happens
and earths defences arent defeated but we are haveing a hard time as u can see on the end halo 2

The other SPARTANs that survived were Fred, Will, and Linda. Kelly, another SPARTAN, was taken away by Dr. Halsey for some special reason. Since the books were outlined and given the go-ahead by Bungie, it's safe to assume that the other SPARTANs' surviving serves a purpose to the game series, and they will return to help Master Chief when he most needs it, not only in combat but in his morale and drive to keep fighting (the return of family would raise his hopes).

um more twards the end of her little poem she looks more like shes recieving the message or iterceptinhg it she looks suprised.also if u break it into freeze frames there are freezes of a skeleton and wat looks to be graveminds lips .then in the storyboard she looks scared or like sumthings attcking her. and she looks more human then ever or maybe its just there new engine.also the grunt sign gives me speculatin 2 belive this isnt earth.and when cortana says world dosent it confuse u?world is like 1 planet i thouht.

i think shes reading the message being broadcast from the ark !i think thats very possible and gravemind is sum how involved. i think the arks final message before being activated is that. it would make sense!PLZ dont lock this mods i really want sum feedback!

I tend to lean towards the Spartan not being the Master Chief, but rather maybe Kelly? Being that the Spartan has the old school assault rifle.

Cortana is probably more in pain than scared - look at the eyes, you don't frown when you're scared. Two possible reasons: intrusion by Gravemind, or the end of her life approaching.

And it is Earth. During the first part of the desert, look to the right, there's a human road sign. Undoubtable proof because I don't think the halos or any other planet have used those signs :)

As for the final message, it's supposed to be ambiguous and to give us a perspective on Cortana's state-of-mind. From what I can see, she seems to have gained some kind of wise insight into the way things work, and into the Master Chief himself, and seems to be speaking more like a god than a human (or at least, someone who has delisions of being a god).
