I agree with Dark Sabith! I mean, he was walking the desert for a while and that massive huge Covvie ship didnt just appear when he happened to look up! I am pretty sure they are all concentrating on the flaming huge structure ripping open the Earth and starting the Great Journey for which they ahve fought for!

You can see it at 1:03 also. That doesn't look like lightning at all either.

Well, now that I have watched it a couple of times it could be lightning. We will just have to wait and see.

Lightning is in the center of the visor. The ak lights are in the upper left.

i actually have to agree with the original post, maybe thats why he doesnt attack them and they dont attack him, maybe its some sort of coordinated attack.

It does flash which is most intriging, it's a circular light which doesn't move in the slightest, this indicates it's definatly an internal light. I'd love it if it was Spartans, i would love to see some more interaction with the books.

This will be interesting...

nope, it flashed for a split a split second before the banshees flew by. If it was a reactor, it would have shone longer and it would have reflected off his visor, by th elooks of it the light came from INSIDE his visor, which shows that

The other spartans have returned.


Well that is a good summery but the books (fall of reach) said that there were more spartans. Proof, page 99. "chief petty officer mendez will be departing us to train the next group of spartans".

I am thinking its just a reflection...but thats just me.

Well Im pretty shure the in Halo 2 the elites agreed that the "Great Journey" was a load of crap. And I really cant see a brute fitting into a banshee.

I see no reason why the elites wouldnt side with the humans and highjack a few capitol ships, and other hardware. Also those skies are filled with cruisers and capitol ships, that doesnt mean they are friendly towards eachother. That crater is very very large and many ships may simply have not begun firing on eachother due to that distance.

Another thing to keep in mind is that this trailer is entirly fictional, and does not even display a real scene from the game. Although a scenaro similar may occur It may happen under completely different circumstances. Hell those banshees may have been put in the trailer for no other reason other than that they are a very commonly use covenant vehical that we can all reconize.

Spartans died on Reach. End of Story.

how was reach glassed
cause i heard reach was glassed and maybe over the time of the games some trees grew back and the artifact discovered on reach also had the ark

Cortana is talking to MC during the video, so he's probably receiving a message from her or possibly from the Arbiter, seeing as they're working together now.

  • 05.10.2006 4:47 PM PDT

for those who dont know and are posting there were 5 spartans living at the end of the 3rd book MC,Fred, linda, will, and kelly but Dr. hasley kidnapped kelly but that still leaves 3 spartans unnacounted for- all three came back to earth with the MC so they could appear in H3 but its not likely since they would of been in H2
also the light is questionable as to if it is a reflection or not

Toast always lands butterside down.
Attach to back of cat always lands on feet......

Result:Antigravity!

This could be Cortana's doing.

(im the orig poster)


The flash i saw was indeed a aknowledgement flash. It wasn't a reflection, here is why.

The reflections that you do see are indeed very, VERY clear due to bungies awesome graphics. The particular light i am talking about is in the upper left portion of his visor AS WE SEE IT, meaning from our POV (this can be a split sec before banshees come in)

This was not lightning. If it had been, it would have been brighter and far more clear, but the flash looked blurry and muffled, as if it had reflected off his skin in his visor. This shows the light came from INSIDE his visor.



So even though we don't know who is truly in the banshees, we do know that he is communicatiing with them. I thought spartans because that light was used as a communication between the spartan teams. And around 3 Sparts are still left (not sure of exact #) so it could be very possible that more spartans are in the game.

Like someone mentioned earlier, they did a op like this in the books. Flew over a covenant armie, but once the covies tried to message them and the spartans didn't respond, a battle ensued. Linda, i think it was her, was on top of her banshee "surfing" with a portable nuke in her hands. While Fred and i think John held offf the covies, she through the port nuke up the grav lift into the ship, then they booked it out of there and created the largest frag bomb in history.


Banshees and MC are friendly. We know this now.

After watching it again, I see the light come on for about 1 second right before Cortana says the "I know your past" spiel and then it flashes very quickly and twice, followed immediately by 2 banshees flying over his head. I'm assuming that it's Cortana AND whoever the pilots of the Banshees are.

Um...I'm not sure about the whole "blinking light" thing. I'm not saying that the other Spartans won't play a role in the game, or even be seen in the game, but I don't think the Chief has any contact with them.

Another thing, someone said it may be reflection of the nearby starship, but as seeing from the cheifs Point of View, the Ship was to his upper left, whereas the acknowledgement blink was in HIS upper RIGHT.... which is our upper left and the starship our upper right.

im talking about the flash that occured from 1:13 - 1:14. Other similar flashes were indeed lightning, but this partic one wasn't distorted like the others.

I will say this once more, not only is the light coming from within the visor (upper left from our POV), it happens as the banshees fly over as well. There is communication between them. End of story.
