Is Halo 3 taking place years in the future? I think it is! And i have 2 things to support this.

1: In the background you can see the destroyed bridge that you crossed. And also near the cheif was some trees. How could the ground become all barren and have some trees in it after a few Days/Weeks? Also, didnt the explosion knock them down?

2: How is the earth conqured by Covys? When the MC came back in the Forrunner ship he talked to Hood and they seemed to be putting up a good fight.


So can anyone explain or give more evidence?

From all the explosions and red lights around Hood, I don't think things were going so well. Also, if you read the novels, it's pretty clear that the Covenant can screw up a planet real nice in just a matter of hours.

The answer to #1 is simple. Remember when we left that city there was a huge explosion , lol

Um...you didnt play halo 2 campaign did you? Because if you had, you would know that when Truth jumped to slipspace, there was a huge explosion caused by the slipspace transition. Duh. Sorry, your theory is a wrong one.

That would be sick, like following up the worst ending of a game with the worst begining.

I AM CABOOSE, THE VEHICLE DESTROYER!!!!!!

well couldnt it take place only a week or a month later? probably more like a week because the cov can waste a planet in a few hours but why would they waste the planet with their ultimante holy relic on it? its probably a few weeks and the cov took earth, then leveled the citys, then the MC puts up a resistance like in halo CE

(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Well, the game does take place in 2552 or possible 2553 considering it was early fall when the Covenant invaded..

dude, i was wondering about this too. i think it could be a few weeks after the end of halo 2. this trailer certainly wouldnt be set in the beginning of halo 3. As, you said, the human fleet and MACS were putting up a very good fight.

Yeah, theres no chance that Earth could survive against the covenant. After all it was the "Biggest fleet anyone has ever seen."

Anyway, New mombassa was destroyed. Maybe theres some stuff left around it, but not much.

New mombassa wasn't destroyed in an explosion.

When regret did the slipspace jump inside the city, everything was pulled through the portal which is how keyes daughter was able to travel with the cov ship. So basically, the slipspace jump brought the city with it.

After you beat "oracle" theres buildings spinning around. But how can you explain why the Bridge thing is in tatters, just cus the other half is missing doesnt mean much, i mean it looks like ancient ruins to me... but its only been a few days. how?
