"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

there has been many thoughts on why the covenant ships move away when teh ark activates and why they dont kill off the chief. well heres what i think, those ships where elite controlled and they where trying to stop the ark from activating. maybe there were fights going on in its control room or wherever and the elites where too late. that would explain why the ships fled, why they didnt shoot the chief and maybe even why there was a phantom. possibly the arbiter was in it.

Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

And maybe sgt. johnson repaired in amber clad, rescued cortana and made it back to earth, where the flood followed them and then there was a huge space battle, in which 100 (thats right, one hundred) other spartans that escaped from Reach come flying in on jetpacks with halo1 pistols and they all save johnson from the onslaught. And then, they descend to earth and find out that chief really isnt chief, its an ODST pretending to be John, so then we find out that the Arbiter and MC made a secret pact to be pacifists and the two fled the galaxy together.

Seriously, TOO MUCH SPECULATION OFF OF A 2 MINUTE VIDEO!!!

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE IN THIS FORUM"major gamer" not ikwa,

Secondly, the reason the convenant move away from the arc because its opening and it has doors and they must get out of the way of them, example, DO YOU STAND IN FRONT OF THE REFRIDGERATOR DOOR WHEN YOU OPEN IT AND LET IT HIT YOU, no I thought not

And finally why would you waste your time on an elite if you were flying in a pelican to halo's control center, would you? no and if you think "well hes the demon we must kill him" dude the arc is like a hundred times more important then one little guy you might not even be able to see, so use some common sense people and wait for another trailer before posting these ridiculous theorys and speculations.

maybe they just want to get out of the way of the enormous flat pillars rising up out of the ground. i bet those things are moving pretty fast despite their size.
as for not trying to nock off the cheif, to me he seems so insignificant compared to the Ark.

Ix Elit3 xI
first of all, dont talk like you know what your talking about because none of us do. i already stated that they moved away because the piller things were moving up and if you dont beleive me go find one of my posts cause its in there.

secondly, why does everyone have to say -blam!- like "its just a 2 minute video, get over it"

ya, it is a 2 minute video but who cares, look at all the -blam!- bungie pumped into their games, we are still trying to figure it all out, people beleive that little secrets may have been added to the video and they are willing to go out of their way to state what they find. good for them, they see something, they type it up and post it. i dont see the purpose of putting other peoples theorys and speculations down.

god forbid a trailer to the coolest game comes out and people want to have a little "fun" by investigating it for secrets...

so tell me, where is your common sense?

Basicly this is cortana given powers by gravemind showing the cheif the future of what happens but i agree the elites are now with earth but that is sweet.

Hey, Maybe the covenant came to their senses and finally realized that the 7 halos would kill them. Maybe just maybe the covenant and the humans join as one and race to stop the Arch from setting off the halos? Thats a thought> The music sounded like more of a race to stop something than OMG were all going to die kind of sound.
