How could the banshee pilots be other spartans? If they were, the covenant cruisers would attack them.




Well to answer your question. The cruisers might not of attacked because the spartans are able to communicate now. The spartans in the book were able to fly the banshees.


and if you remember in the books the reason they were able to fly the banshees and pilots the wraith tanks was because the symbols were "maddingly" familiar somewhat like ancient calligraphy

No, you should play Halo 1. Keyes was killed, his skull obliterated by the Chief to get his CNI chip.

I've got it!

How about, prior to the trailer, MC kills truth, thus bringing the Covenant force to disarry. Cortana gives away Earth's location to Grave mind, and he shows up in High Charity (which has become the Flood Hive). Arbiter shows up, and in the absence of a leader, the covenant follow him: the Brutes of course being beat into submission like -blam!-es.

Under the threat of the flood, the Humans and Covenant now form an alliance [*pukes on shoe*]. Now knowing the truth about the Arc from Guilty Spark, they have no choice but to find the Arc, and use it to destroy all life forms (thus destroying the flood) while they remained protected by the Arc.

So in the trailer we see the Master Chief and his new Covenant chums headng towards the new found Arc (hence they don't attack him). We can't see who's in the Banshee, because it's piloted by a Grunt.( Who would usually run from MC anyway). Of course once they reach the Arc, it unexpectedly opens up, bright light and all, because they just woke up the sleepy Forerunners.

Sure it's a crap theory, but it covers all the events of the trailer, so lets just accept it untill the game comes out and we know what's really going on OK?

if you could read between the lines then you do know that the spartans are gonna come back because here are 2 Q and A's (its a couple of pages back) that asks

Q

Which characters will be returning in Halo 3?

A

Well as you can see from the trailer, at a minimum, we'll see the Chief and Cortana in some shape or form. And I believe Banshee pilots...

and the other

A1
The answer was more on the lines of this paraphrased 'We do know of two characters which will turn up in Halo 3 the Master Chief, and a captive Cortana' Something like that

A2
It went something like this paraphrased 'The Arbiter came in Halo 2 without mentioning about him beforehand' The part about the banshee is very unclear but it was a comment like 'just look at those banshee's in the trailer, we never mentioned them'

which means they can introduce characters late into the game and they will im almost positive the spartans will be back because every1 knows they are still alive and it will blow if they dont appear in the game

why are humans the only reclaimers in the game and in the books but yet the covenant cant be..


Have you ever considered it may be because it has only ever been Humans whom have reached the index in the library, true in " The Flood " there was that Marine, but I suppose since he was summoned by Guilty Spark to recover it, perhaps Guilty Spark labelled him a reclaimer for it.

In other words, take note :

Halo CE reclaimers :

Master Chief - Reclaimed the Index
Marine Sgt. - Attempted to reclaim the index due to Guilty Spark


Halo 2 reclaimers :

Miranda & Johnson - Reclaimed the Index together

Humans have always reclaimed the index, possibly making those specific humans reclaimers by default. Just because a member of the Covenant Client Race's hasn't actually reclaimed the index, doesn't necessarily mean they can't be reclaimers.




and DONT bump threads, its lame.

Halo 3: Collapse
Chapter 20, Revelations, is up (update 11-14-10)
The Mirratord

Ω

Has anyone considered the possibility that the fleet is controlled by Elites? That alone would explain why they aren't shooting at him and why he didn't jump up and jack one of those banshees.
