Don't forget to look both ways.

CONTINUITY

Someone pointed out to me that my continuity error wasn't really an error. What I thought was wreckage from Mombasa's bridge was wreckage from the space elevator. So, please continue on to Strange Sight and Theory.

STRANGE SIGHT

I also noticed that there seems to be lava flow on the far side of the hole-in-the-ground.

At 1:24 you can see a red glow on the far side. It is to the left of the lightning strike.
I won't speculate on this one. You folks can try and interpret it.

Dude it's just a hype trailer.

THEORY

For the sake of my theory, I'm going to ignore the continuity error that I brought up earlier.

Because of the position of the arches and what I assume is Old Mombasa, I think that the Ark is underneath the lake in Mombasa. The giant whole in the ground is a little large, but that could just mean someone has been excavating the edges.

That just seems like a neat idea to have had the Ark underneath the lake the whole time. If only Cortana hadn't told Master Cheif, "Well, [the bridge] beats swimming."

the structure that opens if obviosouly the ark. if you have the special edition of halo 2 watch the extras and you can see that they show drawings of the ark and these look exactly the same.

If my calculations are correct, then Slinky+Escalator = INFINITE FUN!

Home is were the Hog is.

Look, guys. They aren't "arches".

The are the wreckage of the space elevator from the spaceport in New Mombassa. Bungie has said so.

"According to the Bungie website, scenes in the trailer are mixtures of different scenes and animations from the actual game, which include the space elevator wreckage that Master Chief walks through at the beginning of the trailer."

I never asked what the Ark is. I know perfectly well what it is.

Not really a theory, but an observation. When that hole opens up, and the glow emerges. I almost see the outline of the ship from the end of Halo 2. It sounds almost like something is getting ready to take off, and fast. A flash, and that's it.

Inner atmosphere slipspace ruptures can do some crazy stuff.

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

ya now that if you think about it it (the wreckage in the bg) is the space elevator
but then why is there a small dirt road going into a large metropolis? wouldnt it be like a 5 lane paved high way going to the bridge? and the pedestrian sign is a grunt sign just so u no

they are the arches of the bridge that is as clear as day. its not impossible that they have them even though bungie said it was the elevator.
