Sounds reasonable.

Sierra 173 - The Siegebreaker

Anyone want to enlighten me on what that structure is? (I read the books but eh...well, lets just say I didn't memorize every line.)

The ark is a little wood boat on top of some mountain.

if you read what frankie i think said once he said that halo fans may reckognize its design...

if we may reckognize it... then its something we already know of / have seen. therefore it isnt the ark.

thx for that clue whoever said that... i think it was frankie im not sure..


I think he meant that some people might recognize that it's a forerunner structure. And the forerunners made the Ark. So it still could be the Ark.

WE might recognize it but that might mean its design!

The Ark of the Covenant is supposedly God's throne on earth. It's a golden chest which, if you open it, kills you. It's not a boat on a mountain.

The ark in Halo is not the Ark of the Covenant, but I think is suppost to bear similarities.

I thought they were refering to Noah's Ark?

yeah if you take into the indiana jones part of it, the ark of the covanent is a box that melts your skin if you open it, blows your head up or shoots beams of energy at -blam!- soldiers.

It is probable that it's just a part of the ark. You know, the main part is like a control center, in some underground complex (like the silent cartogropher in halo:ce).
The thing we're seeing could just be the physical relay structure that controls the other halos.

  • 05.12.2006 9:44 PM PDT

Oh, no! the Ark is actually Earth. As it turns out, after forerunners experimented on building huge environments with 7 halos, they perfected their technique and built Earth to use as a life boat when activating the halos. That giant structure actually is just the engine they needed to make earth move around.

ohhh just wait and see :D

A true Halo fan reads the books. The books are a major part of the story.

We can easily determine that the Ark is on the Earth from the books. Hell, we can even do it with just halo 2's last cutscene. You see the Arbiter say "And where, Oracle, is that? - referring to the Ark

The it immediately switches to John whooshing towards Earth in a Forerunner ship. You also know that the Covenant knew something was on Earth, and they didn't know that Humans were going to be here.

The only other thing it can be would be the Library. Like in Halo 2, the light is shot up through a hole in the top of the control room.

Bottom Line - Earth is the Ark, and the thing openning is an entrance farther into it to activate it's second prpose. So it is the Ark, but just not the whole thing..

i think that pretty much gives a satifiying explanation to me

  • 05.12.2006 9:52 PM PDT

Ok lets get this straight:
Bungie says we might recoignise it because it is of Forerunner design. That is all.
