i do agree with u that the first couple of banshees that did pass mc probably did not notice him but last one that passed him should of noticed him because it only a couple of feet away from him and comon if dont notice a 7ft green guy u better go to doctor before pioliting a banshee ever again and also mc could have just jacked that last banshee with no problem unless it was a alli banshee think about it

If you look at my profile, I'm a serious player..the reason why they most likely cut it from the public, was because they wanted to keep the really good stuff that peaks the curiousity down so it will be revealed when the game is released. That is why when people from the GameInformer Mag only get bits and peices about the games when they interview the developer and why everything about a new game is usually hidden.

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

Well this is a great theory better than a lot of others but at the same time why would they activate the ark or try at least.

well if u read the rest of my theory which on the page before this u will understand wat i am sayin here to answer ur question they r probably goin in to stop anybody from getting in and activating ark or watever that thing is and i dont think the prophet would be in that phantom i mean mc let the prophet escape once i am sure that he wont let him escape again i think mc stops the prophet while he in the ship i am sure the only way the prophet will touch earth soil if hes dead o yea and also i dont think the ark is being activated i think it is sending a becon to the other halo just like the halo did in halo 2

ok i was reading the update a couple of minutes after it came out and i found a huge clue. there were 2 questions, 1 that was about the arbiter returning, and the other was about the banshee pilots in the trailer being revealed..but as i just read the update again not 1 minute ago it didnt have those q and a's in there...coincidence?? i think not i think that they removed them only after a couple of people saw it so that the whole population didnt get that clue..

post in this thread if u have ne questions or theories about this

personally i think the arbiter is definitaly back and that those banshee pilots are the other spartans (another clue to this is that they dont shoot at MC and that the music has an allied sound to it..almost triuphant..or at first it does..plus the banshees are transporting some1 or something in that phantom)

edit---look down on this page page 2 and page 3 most of the Q and A's im talking about are there...read them and then think ...why would they remove them from the update??

if you pause the video you will see that the banshees are empty

there are spartans in either the banshees or the phantom.

the clues are too obvious now that i look at it closer

he has his back turned to them even tho they're right behind him. he has a radar i guarantee u he knows they are there befiore he actually turns around, so he is obviously not scared.

he doesent turn till his acknowledgement light goes off, which is what the spartans used to signal eachother, the light is inside his helmet so thats hwy the light is faint but u can see it int he top left corner of his visor, MC's right.

then notice as he only pays attention to the phantom, turning his head and following it, so he knows there is some1 or something important in it.

Osmosis!

Right, to start off... Wasn't Reach and almost all of the Spartans killed? And when we last saw MC he was hithing a ride with Mercy and most of Earth had been torched with the Marines all but gone, how do they manage to get hold of the fleet of Cruisers and Banshees when they have no troops?

watch it more closely, there are reflection lights, but if u look more to the top left u can see light flashing from the inside of his visor. not the reflective part. the lights come just a moment after the minoir reflective ones

i think you are right because im sure every one knows that there are other spartans at least the people who read the books

Has anyone thought that the banshees arent being flown by SPARTANs but elites, and due to the expected truce between the humans and the Sangheili thats why they dont shoot at him. And the banshees all peel off when the thing starts glowing, meaning they didnt expect it to open, yet the excavation ships are all holding position so it can be expected that Truth (if he is still alive) is overseeing whatever the hell is going on.

No way, the Banshee pilots are probably elites having joined MC, remember civilm war at end of Halo 2 Arbiter working together with Miranda and Johnson. I think the Arbiter and the elites and MC and the humans are going to join together. I think that the Arbiter is in the Phantom together with Miranda and Johnson. Think about it, isn't this the most possible. Other spartans, wtf???

no, it says in the Halo: CE manual that all the Spartans have been killed. The pilots are not shooting Master Chief because of: 1) They have much more important matters to attend to than one single gut with an Assault Rifle or 2) the trailer is at a time when humanity and Coenant have become allies and the banshees are going to try and stop the capital ships with the othe prophets before they can activate whatever the -blam!- is buried in the Earth
Posted by: Medic Man 036
you might be right about the banshees being other spartans, the cruiser doesn't shoot cause look how far away it is, it probably can't even see the cheif, also, the banshees probably didn't see the cheif because he was hidded from the destroyed structure behind him.



But, its just a trailer that has mininum effect on the game !

Shiska: The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike are official books. Yes, Bungie had say in their writing Yes, the writers did some of their own work nothing was published without first receiving Bungie's approval.

However, what you fail to realize is that the books act as flavor for the hardcore. Guess what? Out of the millions that have bought and played the second Halo, only a tiny handful have actually READ these books. As such, it'd be unwise to reference the books directly in the game, as the reference would be obscure and misunderstood by the majority of players

The books enhance the games, not the other way around.

The mistake in your thinking is that Halo 1 doesn't "reference" anything that happened in The Flood. It's the other way around. And, Halo 1 didn't reference anything that happened during Fall of Reach, just as Halo 2 didn't reference anything that happened in First Strike.

Shiska: Something I must point out, now that this thread has grown...

The Cortana letters are not canon. They're a relic of a time when the first Halo wasn't even a first person shooter, yet. I suggest you do not read too deeply into them to find secrets about the games- there's nothing there to find

Halo Story Page: Would the books make the cut?


Joseph Staten: The books are, for better or worse, part of the canon. In the future we may choose to revise or flat-out ignore some of the less appealing ideas (Johnson's biological immunity to the Flood, for example), but folks should treat them as defining elements of the Halo universe


NO SPARTANS. The signal is a reflection.

omfg, if Bungie wanted to follow the books, they would have. According to the Halo; CE manual, all but one spartan hae been killed. Spartan 458 from DoA4 is just a bonus character. besides, DoA4 takes place in the present or very near future. You ever notice that in some movie an book based games, only a twid bit follows the movie/book.

just to let u all know there are way more than 4 surviving spartons. in the book akerson steals halseys plans for the spartons and disapears. CPO mendez also leaves. we know the mendez is the sparton trainer. also in the origianl game of halo it shows that other humans have been there very recently on the ring. there are about 20 big boxes full of gasmask, wepons, armor, food, and other stuff. so akerenson and mendez have been creating spartons on the rings. also akerson recieves a file from a secure place with the subject as CPOM about spartans. well CPOM could mean Chief Petty Officer Mendez. so there would have to be more spartans than we think there are. any wya just what i think about it. so the pilots could very well be other spartans

Umm yeah...I dunno what was up with those questions but the first time i read the update they werent there, then i refreshed it and they were, and it just kept doing that so I dont think bungie took them out on purpose
