everything you're saying that didnt actually take place in the trailer or in halo2 is total speculation...I don't think your story makes a very good arc myself...It just doesn't add up...how could we be the forerunners and not know it? and saying the elites took notice is crap because I'm sure the arbiter would've saved his own ass from getting branded at the beginning of halo2 if he knew WE were the forerunners...or atleast the other elites would've spoken up...you're spending so much time speculating when there are pretty much a million possible storylines for you to guess the real one would be like getting struck by lightning while finding a million dollars in cash on the ground...

The Covenant would not ally themselves with the chief. Only the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters. Allied with the humans, I don't think that the big Artifact is the Ark b/c The Oracle said in H2 that The Ark was where they could activate all Halo's.

Halo.Bungie.Org knows as much as me and you. So don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Halo.Bungie.Org is an unofficial site, so stop spamming the forums saying that stuff on there is the Truth.

K, Thx Bye!

Obvisiosly the Covenant have allied themselves with the Master Chief, because if they were'nt then they would have blow him away when they flew right over him, and of course that big forerunner weapon was buried deep beneath that big tower that stood in the middle of new mobasa in halo 2, the weapon must have been uncovered after that big explosion, because the explosion was right next to the tower, and did you ever wonder why that covenant carrier was only hovering next to the tower, because obviosly the covenant knew that there must have been a large weapon there, so they went to investigate, thats why they were trying to hold the new mombasa bridge, and once the covenant found what they were looking for thats when the prophet Regret jumped into slipspace.

No the weapon in in Africa not New Mombasa. Read the discription on the 360 and Regret went into slipspace because he didnt want MC to get on his ship. They were holding the bridge to try to stop MC from geting on the ship.

The MC has clearly been through too many battles that he's forgotten his 30+ yrs worth of battle training and brashly walks out across the ground in plain view for the camera.

I disagree with the whole Covenant / Human allied thing. They clearly wiped out part of the earth, thats the sort of thing they like to do. They probably glassed the rest of the planet, like at Reach.

They didnt ally with Humans read the 360 discription "with all of earths forces obliterated" (Except the Chief of course)

After GEO14 assaulted me in private messages for saying his idea was wrong, followed by an arguement, GEO14 sent me a private message saying this:


ok then, I just got a message from that guy frankie, who is the webmaster of this site and here is what he said, n if u don't believe me, then ask him yourself, because this is what he said in his own words:


" Hello GEO14, I have read your forum topic here and the people here at Bungie are surprised on how close you came to the truth when you posted this topic, but we would really like it if you haven't told everyone this, because you almost gave away the whole plot, and would ruin the experience of the game for tons of gamers, in fact I have been getting fan mail from some people who read this topic, confirming if it was true, in which case I didn't what to confirm it because everyone would know what Halo 3 was about, we worked hard on keeping this a secret, so please don't post anymore related topics, because we don't want to spoil the game for everyone."


We must all bow down before GEO14's, for he, guessed the Halo 3 storyline. Oh mighty genius!

LMFAO LMFAO ROFL LOL

Why would covenant and humans ally? That would remove a huge chunk of the game if you ask me. Especially 1/3 of the way into the game.

Yes, I believe the object in the trailer is the Ark, I've thought ever since the first time I beat Halo 2 (none of my friends believed me), however, its just a trailer man, that doesn't mean they are allies. If you ever bought the special edition of Halo 2 it comes with a booket that the regular version dosen't. This book is a bunch of conversations, one of which was between two elites. It basicaly read that they wondered why the higherarchs would not allow the humans to be taken into the Covenant like the grunts or the hunters, why they were a doomed race. I think because the humans live in the only place that can remotely activate all the rings, they were doomed by the Gods in the eyes of the Covenant.

actually the weapon was located in New Mombasa, because if u look in the backround of the trailer, you will see the destoyed bridge from halo 2.
Quote from the description "With its defensive forces all but obliterated, Earth has fallen to the unstopable might of the Covenant. These alien occupiers have discovered something beneath the African sands - something incredible - something Forerunner." If you have a 360 I would look at it right away.

bungie told us that that is the Ark, check the early Ark sketch in the halo 2 bonus DVD, it matches that exactly. and hiddin in the trailer are the remains of new mombassa, yes that's the ark.

You remember the Halo 2 trailers that first came out? Well, they had it so there were phantoms flying over the cheif, and it even had some scenes that had nothing to do with the game at all.

As I said before "Its not New Mombasa. Its Africa look at the trees. Dont you think if after the explosion trees would grow back so fast. Look at the 2nd to last post I put"

Actually, if you look at the banshee's flying over Master Cheif, you may notice there is no one piloting them, meaning thats a mistake on Bungies behalf (unlikely) or they were being controlled remotely, a possible reason to why they wouldn't have shot on Cheif.

Actually, I had heard here in the FAQ that there is a possibility of a new covie unit that only flies banshees.

QUOTE:
Q

Which characters will be returning in Halo 3?

A

Well as you can see from the trailer, at a minimum, we'll see the Chief and Cortana in some shape or form. And I believe Banshee pilots...

We know that New Mombassa is in Africa because in one of the demo movies on Halo 1, it says "New Mombassa, East African Protectorate". Also, have you ever heard of a name like Mobassa that wasn't African?
Dig out your Halo 1 and look under Game Demos, then select the "Halo 2 E3 2003" non-interactive movie.

Saddly my 360 wont let me access that menu but i'll take your word for it. It still doesnt mean that its IN New Mombasa. It might be on the outer areas of it.
