That is all well and true but you forgot that a ring has been destroyed and the only way to finish off the world and "all other sentient life within 3 radii of the galactic centre" would take all 7 halo rings to do it. However, you are right in your theory where the Master Chief is, it is the Arc that 343 was talking about, but, there is another thing you havent said, How did the arc get to earth. We (meaning the Humans) are known as reclaimers WE are the only life in the universe that can activate the rings beacause WE are descendants of the forerunners!!!! Which is why, in Halo 2, Tartarus used Miranda to activate the ring.

The rings are not planets that are just simulated. If there is colony planets it would be the planet that the rings orbit.

I have said nearly the same theory several times in the last 2 days and no one paid attention...
Its the art of posting at the right moment that gets you the attention. Plus I think that this post is going to get really off topic or maybe not. 50/50 at this point.


Lol, yeah I know...just waiting for my day of glory on the bungie forums...damn my timing!

People knew that the Arc was Earth since seeing the end of Halo 2. I mean, as soon as the Arbiter asks Guilty Spark where the Arc is, the cutscene skips to a view of Earth. It's a cinematic technique where you don't present the answer in words, but SHOW the answer. Earth is the arc.

I like the part of your theory that Cortana is acting like a translator for Gravemind... it explains a lot. However, some of your stuff is a bit far-fetched, and is more speculation than theory; those "arcs" that you mention that the MC is walking under actually exist in Africa: they're prototype windmills, like that on the map of Zanzibar.

Don't theorize too much based on "it's an arc, so it must be THE Ark..." notice the diffence in spelling... Ark, as in a ship or place of security in desperate times, not Arc, like an arch.

How do i play the trailer for Halo 3 backwards or in true reverse i tried quick time but it was to fast for me to make out and windows media has a slow feature but no way to reverse it, I can hear the secret message and I have good disciphering skills, just its to fast....

  • 05.10.2006 7:33 PM PDT

Yeah, I smoke weed. And yeah, I like it. So either torch this bowl with me or leave me alone.

Just remember man.... no matter how good you are, she's STILL thinking of me.

actually she is referring to Earth's colony planets, all of which become glassed by the covenant and Earth is the last one left which is why the covenant are coming to Earth in halo2 and 3, plus i think they already knew the location of the ark just as they know the location of all the halos

not sure who said that... but... there werent just eight colonies dude... its more like... 800... and humans cant be reclaimers and forerunners... guilty spark would have referred to the chief as a forerunner.. not a reclaimer.... the ark is not the planet itself.. it is hidden on the planet... it is also speculated that if one were say, in the ark, the effects of the halos firing would be negated to those within the ark. just speculation. anyway.. yeah... 8 planets wouldnt have taken that long to find, glass, and move on. but the theory is a good one, and can actually be called a theory. it has evidence of its existence, but cant really be proven, just like gravity and evolution. nice.

Dude, the Covenant DIDN'T know the location of the Halo rings. Did you not pay attention to the cutscenes during the Campaign? The Prophet of Truth and Mercy tell the Arbiter that they were "racked with grief at the loss of Halo, but with renewed faith, we continued our search. And this is what our faith was able to find!" or whatever the exact wording was. They know that there are some rings, and that's it. If they KNEW where they were, why wouldn't they just activate them? Seriously, think about it.

They DON'T know where everything is. That's why the humans are still alive: they don't KNOW where the rest are, and can't activate them.

I know what Cortana meas by I know your Past. In Halo: Combat Evolved, at the start you Captain Keyes saying its time we released our friend (the Master Chief) he was frozen in suspended animation. He has no recollection of how he got there he is just there. WE (the Humans) must have found him in that chamber and became our weapon. He is forerunner technology. When Cortana was in his head she found this information now the gravemind has his hands on it and knows exactly what the Master Chief can do.

"Can I have everything louder than everything else" - dude on Deep Purples 'Made In Japan' album GO BUY IT NOW!!

good theory, but as most ppl probly think, as fun as it is 2 speculate, we shud all jus keep it down a bit until launch. i no i got in2 a lot of speculation and stuff about halo 2 i.e. flying pelicans, atv's and such, so 4 halo 3, im just gonna keep it kool, and not get in2 nething 2 wild as far as spaculation goes. but im definitly gonna b pre-ordering this game as soon as they set a launch date.

Very interesting. However, would Bungie really give away that much in a teaser?

AHA!
if you have read the fall of reach then u know about the planets getting glassed. You also know the prophets were on the planets. Why would a prophet be on a planet that was only being attacked for military supiriority? I think they were looking for the arcs on those planets, then when they didnt find it, they glassed them

If you read the books you will know all about the Spartan program Master Chief was in and how he got into the cryo tube in suspended animation. So read the books please before jumping to conclusion.

My friend has this theory that the arc is located where New mombasa once was.......I think its a good theory because it would explain why the covies were concentrating on landing there in H2 and blew it up

the thing is, bungie, as someone said earlier, would probably not put that meaningful of a trailer out to the public so as that we can determine the storyline from just two minutes of cut scene animation. i told my brother, people could write novels and novels full of really cool stories and speculations of what the real storyline of halo 3 will be, but not many people really know the absolute truth. i liked the initial theory that started this thread, it was quite in depth and well thought. however, i'm sorry but you dont know the truth, because you probably arent one of the storyline developers working for bungie. im not saying to stop all of this, because it is cool to think about and imagine, but noone knows for sure the REAL story. and as a few others before me said, its extremly exciting to think about halo 3 and its possibilities (especially on 360) but remember, the unofficial game release is march of 2007. thats more than half a year away. luckily for me, it should make a wonderful birthday and grad. gift ( i was certaintly borned at the right time ha).

oh and vanu, sorry man but i really dont know for quite sure how to watch it in slow motion. sorry bro.

u make a good point but it gives ppl stuff to do and i think that some things are a little in depth but its fun to dream and who knows we could be really close to whats going on. Also in H2 when cortana says something about how the covi only attacked the one place maybe that has some thing to do with soemthing or other?
