Interesting, though i had already suspected that it was. I mean, what else could it be?

Mr Random

ahh..now i c....arc can mean

Something shaped like a curve or arch: the vivid arc of a rainbow.
Mathematics.

A segment of a circle.

An electric arc.

Astronomy. The apparent path of a celestial body as it rises above and falls below the horizon.

To move or seem to move in a curved path: the stars that arc across the sky.





so the electrical arc definition looks like it

I think it should be the ark, looks like one anyway, with all the covenant swarming towards it

You left out religous meanings, such as noahs ark, ie a shelter, or the ark from raiders of the lost ark, ie a weapon.

the arc in raiders of the lost arc was supposed to be the arc of the covenant it was the box the pieces of the ten comandments were held in it wasn't really a weapon. but in the movie it was a bad idea to open it.

For some reason for me, the link to the picture of the Ark wont work, so if anyone has an alternate link, it would be great. Also, I found this on google images-

http://nikon.bungie.org/story/images/g4ark1.jpg

i think this was drawn before the release of the trailer, and it looks exactly like the structure in the trailer.

do you have any other links to it,on another site? Mabey, there's something in that picture that Bungie dont want us to see, something that will give away a valuable piice of information about Halo 3?

Read about my gaming here.

heey.. hope everyone knows the story about noahs ark, what if humans are actually forerunners? the ark protected them from the blast that destroyed all sentient life, except them, but they lost their memory or was cloned was supposed to go through some sort of training but didn't, merged to the surface and became humans?

It isnt THE ark becuase THE ark is orbiting earth with MC on it. I think that is more of a docking pad/launch pad for the ark. It would make more sense. It is the largest scale forrunner structure, and it just happens to be on earth. It could be hinting to our ancestry to the Forrunners. I dont think we should jump to any conclusions yet, after all, it is just a trailer with a disclaimer on it.

  • 05.11.2006 12:41 AM PDT

How ya goin?

Hmm yes, it defineatly could be the ark. But still, it is just a trailer.
Who knows??

i really hate how without playing the game you think something like that could be proof.for all we know bungie could be using what was originally going to be the ark as something else now.it wouldnt be the first time in gaming history thats happened.

It isnt? hmmm... Thanks for the information then, i thought it was. Man its been a while since i went through the Halo 2 campaign. I have been wanting to replay it, but everytime i get past the earth levels, it just gets boring and im no longer motivated to play it... Oh well. Thanks for the update.

I think that the ark is either a communication device or a teleport to another galaxy to see the forerunners.

I dont think its even on earth, it never says it is. Reach was destroyed and burned too and there was an underground forerunner structure on reach. Also the spartan in the trailer was wearing the old armor and carry a unmodified MA5B rifle. So i dont think that is even master chief in the suit, could be kelly or one of the other surviving spartans since they havent recieved the upgrades yet.

Uh, that is a little far-fetched. I like the communication device idea better than a teleport. That seems rather obnoxiuos for just a teleporter dont you think?

The ark could be a number of thing though:


* It could be the Halo activation center, that starts the destruction of the universe
* Releases an Anti-Flood type thing
* Archive of the history of the Foreruners and study of the flood
* A weapon
* A signal for the forerunners to come out of hiding
* A storage drive that stores the genetic make-up of a forerunner


The possiblities go on

@ helljumper. That could be true, but why would cortana be talking to him then? I think it is MC, but it did seem kinda wierd that he had a little different build to his body, seemed wider. Anyways, i think it is the MC, why would bungie show a different spartan?

How ya goin?

This trailer could be like the trailer thing for Halo 2, it was never used in the actual game.
But in the Q&A these details are said: "Q. What is the plot of Halo 3?
A. ....The Covenant has uncovered a massive and ancient artifact under the African soil...." and "Q. What was that crazy huge dome buried under Earth?
A. We're not saying, but Halo fans may recognize something about its design."

Could be people.

No worries, Ive only watched the ending half a duzzen times, and havent seen it in a while for the same reason you havent. The levels past the first arbitor mission were pritty bla.

  • 05.11.2006 1:12 AM PDT

How ya goin?

How far away were the Covanant from the Halo rings? Casue I may have an idea that seems pretty beleivable. Since the Halo rings were activated and wipped out all life, how come there are humans? I think that the ark was there to shelter the Forunners from the destruction, then they went out of the ark and forgot they were Forunners maybe. It may be possible.
