The big artifact that everyone thinks is the ark looks circular to me. Could it be another Halo ring that was never put into space by the forunners and now since everything was activated it is being put into space. Just look how it was covered and then look at the part ring part rising. When you watch the video look really closely at the blue part that lights up and starts to rise!!! please no flamming if u don't agree and want to yell at me don't say anything at all
thank you

I think it's probably the key or whatever, the thing that's supposed to be on Earth, but not another Halo. Also, weren't those destroyed halo's in the background, or am I stupid? What's the Halo/Earth size ration?

that makes sense but why would all the halos need to be activated? wouldnt one do the trick. and if they all do need to be activated for them to work, they wont work b/c mc blew up the halo in halo 1. eh too much thought

But like when he was on the Halo ring in Halo 2 he had it so all of the rings could be activated at any time. Maybe this caused the halo ring to rise up off of earth. Maybe the forunners ran into a conflict that prevented them from rising this ring before.

The halo system works together. When one halo is activated it communicates to all the other halos to fire.

There is no way that is a Halo, sorry.

If 4 out of 5 people suffer from constipation, does that mean the 5th one enjoys it???

OK at the end of Halo 2 343 says in the case of emergency shut down the rings could be remotely activated from the Ark. When one Halo is hit by the others pulse its pulse is activated which is mentioned by 343 in Halo 1....so the Ark fires of its pulse, one of the Halo's is hit it sends its pulse and so on. Basically what explosivediahrea said.

Patrick, im right w/ you. With out reading ur post b4 hand, i had posted in some other discussion that i thought that the large structure on the earth was actually another halo. The large flanges or wings out to the sides are actually docking clamps. I came to this conclusion after seeing the still shot of the structure from the trialer... and i read some where on this site that the bungie staff said that halo fans may recognize it [the structure]. Granted, it may be a key room. But, since when did a key room open up like that? All the key room was is a place to store an item. Like the library in so many words. I believe what we see in the trailer is the last Halo ring being launched. Makes sense that Bungie would throw a Ring into the game at some point lol. Having said that... why was this ring still docked to a planet? Well, the halo rings needed to be built some where... it was probably not fully finished. Which, assuming this is true... might give an alternate theory to why not all life was destroyed during the first fireing of the Halo weapon system... that the local halo ring was out of commision, and did not fire... saving earth.

I think the Ark is a ship. Ever heard of Noah's Ark? Yea, well, it was a ship. It is the key to activate the Halos, but it's a ship.

I agree with you because you think that in the game that they would add a ring to make the campaign more interesting. It probably did not go off when the other ones were activated because it was not finished yet. It looks like someone hit a switch and though it was the ark but turned out to be a ring. The ark could be hidden inside of the ring or something where the chief would go have to go get it. They are not going to make that they ark because once they find the ark then the game would be essentially over, but why would the teaser trailer be of the end of the game. That means they are done making campaign and it would have to release before 2007. all i know is that is definitley not the ark.

Too bad it won't work.
* Bungie will stick with seven halos, all of Bungies games have something to do with 7.
* each ring is about 10,000 miles in diameter and 200 miles thick.
* Why would you need another halo, one could destroy a seventh of the galaxy(hinting seven rings).

And it would not fit the thing from the trailer, its only about 10 miles in diameter(saw an update about it).

It can't be a halo, though others have already said it. Earth = solid. And a halo is WAY bigger than Earth >.>

mabey it's the index for the master ring, 'cause in the last part you see a hologram of the master ring and it looks like a big gyroscope

Read this and you'll know it's not a Halo or the Index.

yeah but some of the rings are thicker than others. In the second game if u look they are different sizes. At the very end of the game look when they enter the end scene. Why would an arc look like a full ring when the defenition of an arc is a segment of a circle. In the video if you look at the blue light around the really bright one in the middle. There is like a big blue circle underneath the docking stations.

Yeah, but that's on Coral, another planet in the story line. This artifact, acording to the artical, is on earth.

I'm currently trying to take a screenshot, but if you got to 1:57 you'll see the "thing" right after it pauses on MC's visor and right before the flash of light
