It wouldn't be as dramatic if the Banshees start circling MC shooting at him.

its a nice theory but im gonna have to disagree

a.) bungie has confirmed earth lost the war. therefore, those ships...........eh, wouldnt be piloted by elites, but rather the brutes and prophets trying to kill us all

b.) the elites are locked in genocide above high charity.........i doubt they would suddenly win, and travel to earth with FRESH ships (notice none are damaged?)

c.) with all the heck goin on, i doubt the majority of elites got the memo "oh yeah, um, dont kill the humans yet, we gonna fight alongside them for a while"

d.) if i suddenly saw the gate to salvation opening before my eyes, even with seeing my lone enemy on the ground............i would go to salvation

e.) theres a problemo w/the spartan theory: there are only 3 left, and one is crippled and near death........so who are flyin the other 100?

tho its an interesting claim, its not plausible right now

personaly I dont think the pilots were spartans, because I paused it an saw what looked like
big furry fun teddy bear like feet sticking out of the banshees, so ya...

The banshee pilots are elites, hence the grunt sign. The elites and humans allied in part 2 remember, go back and make sense out of the Bungie Q & A.

Yes. True, is is most probable that Spartans aren't piloting the Banshees, besides if you read the book, weren't the other Spartans destroyed?

I think the fact that we couldn't the Banshee pilots' feet, was because the covies wised up and made a new saftey feature on the Banshees so the pilots aren't exposed or able to fall out.
Ahem. Wrong


no yhe other spartans werent destroyed but there are a confirmed 3 other spatns alive, and an unconfirmed other 3 spartans still alive..(reason they are unconfirmed because when the spartans learn about their plan to capture a covenant prophet Dr. Halsey said that every Spartan was accounted for accept for 3 others that were to far in the Galaxy in fights to be easily recalled back and after that u never hear of them again)

edit---[/quote] Bungie already said there will be no other Spartans. And THAT was NOT removed.


where does it say that Bungie said there will be no other spartans?!?!?!?!?

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

This sounds like an OK idea. I still say that the Grunts, Elites, and Hunters have sided with the Marines and the Chief to stop the Prophets, and that those ships were full of friendly Covenant, but that is, of course, just me. The ships could be full of Marines that hijacked them, or they could be full of other Spartans. We won't know until 2007, now, will we?

NO spartans are gunna come in the game this is the last of the series of halo it would ruin the game, thier are two main characters MC and Arbiter , besides if they did bring the spartans in for some unknown purpose then they would be just as good as your marines or your elites not tryin to be mean the other spartans probably died:(

Bungie never "Confirmed" The UNSC lost the War, all they said is that earth has been taken over.

Yeah, I doubt those are Elite ships.

Only the Arbiter knows not to kill them. plus, he only teamed up with them to stop Tartarus, I think however, Sgt. Johnson and Keyes will arrive with the Arbiter on earth, Remember, the Spec-Ops Commander said he was going to retake they Carrier.

The Elites have an overwhelming since of Honor, they would stay and fight the ones who betrayed them until the end.

There are 5 Spartans left:
John -117
Kelly - 087
Linda - 058
Fred - 104
Will - 043 (I think, I can't remember his Number)

I really don't think Bungie is going to secretly hide all the answers in the trailers...Just like Halo2, their will be much we don't know.

those dang spartans.

well, where were they when chief destroyed the first halo?

where were they when regret showed up? i didnt see any of them "giving the covenant back their bomb"

where were they when chief nearly died on 05?

where were they when chief had to bust his [u know wut} on High charity?

where were they when chief had to struggle w/the decision of leaving cortana?

--- OH YEAH they were prolly at home eating breyers ice cream and smokin pot ALL DAY while the rest of the military........um,,,,,,,,,,DIES

LoL if i were chief i would smack them in the face for all of a sudden, "wanting to be a hero"

sure its POSSIBLE. but with all the stuff goin on, and considering not everyone has read the books, i believe bungie would rather keep it simple

*consider this: bungie knows the majority of ppl buyin this game are casual-moderately involved gamers who'll play campaign but eventually forget it and do the xbox live thing. now bungie just wants to go out with a bang. i dont believe theyll start dropping all these new characters with no ties to the plot out of nowhere.

*what is with this whole "MC is communicating with the other spartans b/c i saw his visor reflect!!"..........um, no disrespect, but i doubt that. why would bungie start putting in all these plots when they're gonna have trouble filling in all the holes already in the story?

*halo INSide the earth? i doubt that. bungie ending halo 2 with the revalation of the ark, and 3 will begin with the ark. some ppl dont even BELIEVE that's the ark in the trailer! concept sketches prove it is

- Now im not trying to burst anyones bubble. i rather enjoy reading everyones posts, as it gives me new ideas about the story. take it from someone who reads too deep himself, i doubt bungie is gonna start up a new subplot now. i doubt those are "friends" in the ships..........why would the be there all of a sudden with FRESH (cant emphasize that enought) ships? if they came from a war, they would be battle scared and in disarray, not mint condition.

I think that the guys in the Banshees are...
Linda, Will, Fred, the other one, the arbiter, the spec ops commander, and the rest are elites.

The Phantom is filled with grunts and elites maybe even some hunters, Sgt Johnston, some other marines, and maybe maranda.


um buddy when you said the people in the banshees are will linda and fred you might be right but yor wrong at one point...WILLS DEAD!!! he got shot down in first strike remember? i just wanted to point that out.


Will isnt dead you dumbass go read it again you blind F***.

Going back to the lights on the chief's visor:

As much as I would like to agree with that theory, I am not entirely sure that it can be true.

The lights are most likely a REFLECTION of the lightning above the forerunner structure (which I believe is the ark) that he is looking at.

I think that the trailer takes place in the middle of the game, and the banshees could possibly hold Spartans or Humans. Also, does anybody know how the Covenant knew there was a Forerunner structure buried under Cairo?

The real question is why were the banshees transporting the phantom, what enemies could be around to try an attack the phantom?

good thinking...maybe guarded by some forerunner guards?

I thought Bungie said that those books have nothing to do with the Halo story(from XBOX and XBOX 360). So, why is everyone reverting to the books? I'm sorry dude, I don't believe your theory.

i believed that too but the thing that caught me is that he nods right after the lights are shown
