here is the main one i was talking about with the banshee pilots again....


Posted by: staphan
In the Announcement FAQ section of Halo 3, it says:

"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..."




When he says the Banhee pilots i think its merely a lil humor.. as he obvioulsy points out that someone is piloting the banshees.


ya i could believe that but the main question is WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT FROM THE UPDATE..WAS IT BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT ANY ONE TO C IT CAUSE IT might GIVE A CLUE!!!!

Subject: Earth is not the arc!!!!!

I dont think that is the ark being activated. No way. The trailer was shot a 1/3 of the way through the trailer. And we all know what happens when the Ark is activated....... boom.

not totally true...what i think is that, that is the Ark alrdy activated somehow (huge strom overhead with subatomic energies) but letting off that flash deactivates the process just like delta halo in Halo 2...looks and sounds the same..coincidence??

If I remember a little clearly, the brutes almost been wiped out by the battle between the elites and brutes. But the Elites and Humans joined forces... maybe, just maybe, some forerunners did survive. They would be escorting the Master Chief, the Humans, and the Elites to the final site to stop the Covavent from activiting the Ark... just a food for thought. I am so freaking happy that HALO 3 is finally out, but that trailer showed me a whole new point of view!

Hey i like all the halo theories, but i think this one's a little radical.
On the XBOX Marketplace, on the download for the halo 3 trailer, it says:
The covernant have found something in the African Dessert...

Something Amazing... Something Forerunner...


I don't think xbox would lie, and i dont think that it would have the same effect if it was actually SPARTANs finding something, even though there are theories that the SPARTANs are going to fight the humans or something....

EDIT- hey i have read through the posts and I take that all back, you could be right

A wild Group appeared! You used Join! It's Super Effective!

Well if you were to read first strike you would know that there were surviving spartans so they could be spartans in the banshees

I just have to say, you guys are completeley missing the point of the game. The covenant took over earth! maybe some mutinous elites did become allies with the humans in halo2, but that was just one part of the elites that were real far away from earth. And anyway, the arbiter was an outcast! And the thing with the new spartans is a nice idea, but think about it, where can you go with a story like that. Bungie are trying to make the best game possible by playing with our emotions and making things that are going to make us cry like cortana dying. Plus who would the Humans/Elites/Grunts/Hunters be fighting? The flood!?!

And no thats not a good idea, its just stupid, fighting a bunch of mindless gouey minging things, with no plot.

No.

HOW CAN MOST PEOPLE SAY THAT OTHERS ARE LOOKING TOO DEEP

IN THE Q&A IT WAS SAID THAT PEOPLE WERN'T LOOKING DEEP ENOUGH!

No.

by the way... humans are fourrunners (excuse my spelling) because in halo ce 343 guilty spark says to chief when he meets him "i am glad some of my creators did survive after all"

also the ark in the bible was the thing that took 2 of each animall and kept it safe from the flood e.g"the flood OR the blast from halo" mabee the ark is the only safe place from the halo's
guilty spark does give lots away AND there are absolutely loads of bible refrences in halo ce and 2


just food fo thought

wow he is helpfull

Only the dead have seen the end of War...Plato

OMG this was pissing me off the whole time reading thisabout the stupid banshee pilots. At the end he says "..." why is it only in that question then the others? Probably due to the stupid question as if they were gonna announce it to a FAQ.

Stop going on with the banshee theory it means nothing. Please do not try to comment on other peoples theories that voids it purpose for no apparent reason. It's our opinion and you are not required to read it.

Ok some of the theories I've read I agree and disagree but I came up with my theory.

First off you speak of the Gravemind, (or another thread) but did you know that everything Cortona was saying all had 8 sylables except "This is the way the world ends" happens to be 7, coincidence eh?

In Halo 2 the Gravemind he stated this

"This one [Master Chief] is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded.
This one [the Arbiter] is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded."

So Cortona might be infected or taken over by the Gravemind. The other things she says seems irrelevant. "I have defied Gods and demons" doesn't really sound like cortona right? How does that make sense.

Well at the end of Halo 2 he said this also "Silence fills the empty grave now that I am gone,
But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on." Could that mean the GM is a forerunner, or possibly a forerunner infected by the flood.

It makes perfect sense as Cortona has great knowledge of Earth and being questioned by the Gravemind.

Ok why aren't the banshees attacking MC?

If the fleet was the Prophets fleet wouldn't they want to kill the MC all the trouble he has done to them. Their one chance to finally kill him and they pass it up is unlikely. That only leaves two options the stupid theory of Spartans (which would of died probably from the big energy burst) and the fact that they are actually elites.

They know halo was activated but on standby so whats the next? How about safegaurding the ark so it doesn't get into the hands of the Prophets. It couldn't be the ark activating (by means of activated all the other halos) in which I think Bungie wouldn't wan't to show off the ending of the game in a damn teaser trailer.

So anyways they elites and humans decide to team up to protect life itself, putting aside their past hostility. That can support why the didn't attack and why MC wasn't surprised.

I've come up with this and I doubt anyway made it this far reading it, but if anyone did Congrats and thank you for listening.

Anyway I've come up with this, when the Covenant first arrived at Earth they were surprised. Prior to this what was their purpose in finding this planet? Could it mean they were looking for something? Possibly the Ark which obviosly means the Ark is on Earth.

Also anyone wanna give me some info the Cortana's Letters, aswell as the space elevator I saw mentioned somewhere?

I hope this gets the attention of many users, as I spent some time coming up with this. It is mostly accurate based on my knowledge and trying to base it on facts. If anyone would like to join me,try and hit me up on AIM xxxpimp247xxx or xxxpimp247xxx@aol.com

If I get anywhere close to plot of Halo 3 I'ma try and crack the Da Vinci Code lol.

Ok, well I went to church today, so I decided to read John 1:17 (Spartan 117 = John 1:17). It reads: God Gave the loaw through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. So... I'm thinkin that if Bungie is going to follow the book of revalations, that Moses will be played by Master Chief, Jesus will be Played by Cortana, The Anti Christ will be played by Gravemind, and the Devil will be the prophet of regret. AND... In the book Revelations 4:5, they talk of seven burning torches, seven spirits of God, which are all around a mighty throne. This I believe represents the seven spiecies of the Covenant (grunt, jackel, drone, elite, brute, hunter, and prophets), and the throne represents the Arbitor ruling all of the Covenant spiecies. Ok, thats all I got.
Peace out.

Well you are right with the books. But Dr. Halsey took kelly somewhere so she could be considered "missing" But also in one of the books the Chief says something about how he will never see his trainer CPO Mendez again and that he is going to train the new batch of Spartans. So there could be a whole new group of Spartans out there. And the fact about James, that would be really neat if he did survive. But the idea of the spartans in those banshees just doesn't really fit. I mean don't get me wrong i hope there are Spartans in there. We could use the extra help.

i have to admit this "your theory" isnt bad but i will post up somewhere "MY theory" which runs along (but not exactly parallel in thoughts) opogs theory. But what you are not understanding is that i believe that either there are spartans in the banshees or in the phantom, i dont know why its so hard to believe because we do know that at least 2 other spartan come back to Earth with the MC before Halo 2 came out. And the reason i believe that the banshees are either allies or spartans is because (not because they dont fire) BUT MC DOESNT TAKE COVER. thats not like him and the way he acts, you know it. wateva like i said, i dont care if people come up with other theories but dont trash mine because u are doing the same exact thing im doing..adding up clues to make hypothesis's.

Let me quickly get some things out:

Some one replied my post and said that High Charity is immobile. It is mobile. Remember the last bit in the stage Regret in Halo 2 before you go into the temple to kill him? At the start of the game, HC is at the wreckage of the first Halo. Then it moves to Delat halo. It is almost inevitable that the Flood will use High Charity to reach earth (if they know where it is). Even if it's damaged, they could repair it (remember Halo 1?)

And this theory about other Spartans in the Banshees. I don't think it's other Spartans: in the Q & A, Frankie says the Banshees are flying in an "excavation formation". I doubt if the Spartans will know the covenant excavation formation, or if they would have their own.

However, do you remember at the begining of Halo 2, when sergant Johnson says to MC "ship's been arriving all morning. Something bigs about to happen, but nobodys saying much." Could he be refering to the arrival of more/new Spartans? Or did the humans know a covenant fleet was coming to Earth?

I also don't think the humans are the forerunners anymore. I think humans evolved from life forms that emerged from the Arc. They are the "Reclaimers" because they are recognized as coming from the Arc (think of them as the "successors" to the Forerunners). Guilty Spark says in Halo 1 "...a record of all our lost time. Human history is it? Fascinating." So they have a connection to humans, but it sounds like they're not the same thing.

yea. i believe ur concept about the banshee pilots being spartans. Because in the book it said that when spartans communicate, they communicate through their HUD. And u can clearly see a horizontal blinking light on the top left side of MC's visor during the trailer right before the banshee's fly in. And probably thats why the banshee's did not attack MC. and even bungie said that there will be new characters coming into play in halo 3. just a thought...
