I have been doing some research on what everyone has been saying about that structure that lets off a huge flash of light at the end of the trailer...me persoanlly i am pretty sure its the arc somewhere in southern Ethiopia becuase i watched the discovery channel a couple of months back and out of pure irony they had a program on the "Arc of the Covenant" coincidence?? maybe....but if it is the arc....what is it doing?? maybe the reason the ships run away on an outbound vector away from the arc is that maybe they are the only ones that will be harmed from the blast considering Humans ARE the forerunners...i believe this because if you ever read the HALO books then you will know that alot of the forerunners technology and artifacts resemble alout of Human technology and Calligraphy (the writings below Reach and the covenant language too resemble eastern writings)..but to get to the point, maybe the Arc isnt blowing up, maybe it was activated to stop the HALO installations from being activated. I belive this because if u look above the structre there is a type of hurricane just like the one you see on threshhold when u play as the arbiter..though these 2 have no connection, why would the clouds be spinning before the arc is activated?? And another thing..if u realized that the covenant capital ships and the banshees dont fire at the Master Chief (along with the more joyous type music instead of dreadful) i believe that these were the elites the grunts and the hunters aboard those ships and when cortana says "this is how the world ends" maybe she is referring to the covenant homeworld (doubtful but maybe) or when she says this maybe she means that this is when the normal way of life ends and a new starts?? i know this all goes off topic but im just excited

-post what your ideas are on what i have just said and have fun picking it apart =D

I believe it's activating the Halos. Replay the last level in Halo 2 that's what they say it does.

beacon...they said it was a beacon...and it looks 100% like the top of the last beacon. and the light = the same...but liston to the sound when the light happens...it sounds like the scarabs cannon!
