Don't you see it? Earth is another Halo!!!!!!! That's why there is a quarantine zone/ark (the big thing in the trailer)- The Ark is a quarantine zone! Humans Are probably descendants of the forerunners or the flood, or a combination on the 2? Does any1 think this is a good theory?

The play on the word "sword" where it sounds like "source" is saying that the ark is the source of humans. This backs me up that humans are probobly related to the flood and the forerunners

Have you read the trilogy of books. It is known that the forruners to some extent invented or discovered the flood. then when they realized what6 they were, they tried to kill them by activating the halo's. 343 actually states that the halo system has been activated one time. Why on earth would the forruners breed with the flood or allow such a hybrid to live?

i do agree that the forruners are in some way related to Humans, either gennetically or idealy, but i assure we are in no way decendants of the flood. think about it

Um, yeah. Everyone knows that. Nice try though.

It's pretty damn obvious that the Earth is the Ark, or at least contains the ark. I seriously doubt that the Ark is a quarantine zone. An ark is a holy structure. Besides, why would there be a quarantine zone if there is no flood on Earth?

maybe it was only 1 or maybe 2
the flood are an intelligent race, maybe the forerunners did not comply and "allow" it to happen

in the biblical reference to "The Ark" the ark saves the world from a great flood. When you say "the flood" maybe its not relevant with the race, but rather to the halo rings unleashing a flood that is supposed to root out the evil things. Did you think that maybe the Ark saved the things on Earth from "the flood" of the halo rings

the flood are not an intelligent race, their only goal is to find a host, kill, find a host, kill , ect.... the only intelligent one seems to be gravemind, which brings about the question of where does he fit into H3? Think about that.

possibly, but then the flood would be more organized, not the mindless hoard they seem to be

The Ark is essentially Halo Alpha. (As the Halo in either 1 or 2 is Halo Delta - I think it's 2)

So basically, the ark is the control point for all the other halos. Like 343 Guilty Spark says, you can create a remote detonation from the other Halos only for that one ring, but he says if the ark is activated, all the others will follow suit.

And gravemind is the collective mind/force of the flood. He seems pretty good at manipulating peoples will into doing his graveminds own.

it's most likely the arc but maby it's some short of half arc half quarantine zone.Maby the forerunner tought that they had learned form there mistakes and didn't wanted to destroy all the floods so that they one day could restart the program/research.

Another theory:
What if the complete earth is the Arc and it had quarantine zones all over it's surface wich are now all burried diep under it.And agian the forerunner maby didn't wante to kill al the flood the secrets of the flood might be to valuable to lose forever.

If you'll remember from Halo1, the flood is intelligent, according to Guilty Spark, and almost had the Pillar of Autumn repaired before the Chief blew it up.

Ok, in the announcment from Bungie about the release of Halo3 Bungie states that the ancient artifact was buried in the sands of Africa. This ancient artifact is most likeley tha Ark. Which shows that the forerunners activated the Halo rings while on earth. Therefore, the forerunners were the first humans who if we look to real history originated from Africa. This shows that the forerunners were the first humans, who after activating the Halo rings (which wiped out all sentient life.) Began to repopulate the world starting with the earth.

P.S: The ark is based off of the Biblical ark which saved humanity from the flood. And the Halo rings only wipe out the floods food source not the actual flood.

i dont understand your mindset on gravemind. it is entirely possible that Gravemind is the flood leader, and the flood bring him organic matter to keep living or whatever their purpose may be, but still, how could he communicate with every single flood form at once and still be able to function as a seperate entity. the flood may "report to him", but i dont believe they are directly controled by him

That seems rather far fetched...but it does explain a few things. Hm. Interesting idea.

Ever wonder why in Halo 1, MC says that something feels familiar when he is activating the light bridge in the first level? And wonder why Guilty Spark thinks he knows the Master Cheif? That would be because the humans are descendants of the Forerunners.

To me it sound like gravemind is controlling cortana, isn't gravemind one of the frist voice you here?

In the books, every time the chief interacts with Forerunner technology, a comment is made that their symbols seem oddly familiar, and he has a knack for activating them. More proof of a Forerunner/Human lineage?
