Subject: Are people taking the trailer too seriously?

Seven is what I am. My birthday is 1/17. The last two digits of my cell is 17.

►Prominent Communique◄ "We talk, we share, we question, and we criticize. But most of all, we have fun. So don't be afraid to speak your mind."

Your right, we should be calm and wait for more info. Bungie this is a part of the game, but they might change it.

People don't realize that this is a teaser.

The designers at Bungie probably made a trailer that will have little to do with the game. I think that they put it in there to ger people excited and attracted to the game.

"The following is a theory I posted on the website Sector 7. I posted this about one month after Halo 2's release, but I thought I'd run it by you guys again. My origional post can be found in a link at the bottom, but I ask you to please read this version first.

After thousands of careful calculations (well, really just staring at the blank screen after I beat Halo 2, in betrayal) I've come to the following conclusion. Humans are, or were the forerunners. I've sort of thought this ever since I read the Halo books, and beat the original halo, but now I have great proof from beating Halo 2.

In no real order, just as I remember them, this is my proof...

A: In the first Halo, if you read the book, it says how Master Chief could, and still can find out the right button to push on the control panels of Halo, just from knowing, but not understanding why.

B: Humans have developed self sufficient AI, stuff on par with the forerunners, and in some ways, very similar. Like how Guilty Spark is so whimsical, and joking towards the beginning, like Cortana, both of them exhibit human characteristics, but unlike the only Covenant AI we ever see.

C: When the first Halo was going to be fired, Guilty Spark had to choose a reclaimer, however, THE ONLY TWO RECLAIMERS HE CHOOSE WERE HUMANS. Why no Elites?

D: The second biggest planet that we inhabited was Reach, which just happened to have a VERY important Forerunner artifact on it.

E: When the Covenant came to earth, they sent a VERY small fleet, only about 14 ships. They said it in the game themselves; THEY DIDN'T EXPECT US TO BE THERE.

F: They sent a HIGH PROPHET to retrieve what they thought could be on earth, that shows that earth was a VERY IMPORTANT Forerunners spot, and guess what? That’s where are HOME PLANET is.

G: They only landed ground troops in one spot in the entire world, this one spot also just happens to be the cradle of man kind, Africa.

H: When the index was being retrieved by the Arbiter, Tarturus, three or so brutes, and Keys's daughter, Guilty Spark asked ONLY THE HUMAN, if she was the reclaimer or not.

EI: When asked where the ultimate firing room for the Halos was, it immediately cut into a picture of earth.

MY BEST POINT: The firing device is called The Ark. In the bible, Noah's Ark is what saved all the animals in the world, from extinction, and what continued their species. In fact, the very definition of the word has some interesting tie-ins.

Pronunciation: 'ärk
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English arc, from Latin arca chest; akin to Latin arcEre to hold off, defend, Greek arkein, Hittite hark- to have, hold
1 a : a boat or ship held to resemble that in which Noah and his family were preserved from the Flood b : something that affords protection and safety
2 a : the sacred chest representing to the Hebrews the presence of God among them b : a repository traditionally in or against the wall of a synagogue for the scrolls of the Torah

The definition of the word implies that it was also some kind of protection, and safety vessel. Also notice how the ark from the bible was used to preserve Noah from the FLOOD, just a coincidence?

Guilty Spark said Halo was fired once, and the Forerunners were killed when it went off. But, there is an Ark, which is supposedly on earth. So we can pretty surely presume that this ark is what the Covenant were looking for. They were looking for it in Africa. Again, where man kind started.

My theory is that this ark had two purposes, to keep the Forerunner race alive (save them from complete extinction), and to have a uni-trigger for all Halos


Now here's a good theory that makes SENSE and has good POINTS and FACTS that back it up by hobbes0240

Ya'know what. You guys are right. People here are taking this thing waay too seriosly. I mean now we have them spamming the forums with their well-thought out and interesting ideas. Do you really think Bungie created these forums so that we can discuss calmly about our ideas about halo 3?

No way! They created them so that we can moan and whine about the cheaters and bugs, just like how Zanzibar used to be. Skrew thoughtful insight, lets go back to the good old days where we have boasting matches of getting killtaculars and how much we hate cheaters.

Note: Wait nevermind. The "good" forums where the complaining is going on is in New Mombasa now. Hey I can use that forum instead.

I think it's *just* a trailer with a few subliminal things.

Bungies playing with us they want us all to buy Halo 3 then commit suicide by eating mass amounts of tuna caserole. Trust me...Cortana told me...

People ARE taking the trailer to seriously but their is some truth in it because Bungie said it was an actual cut scene from the game.

for the record, i registered on the forums just so i could say this....

I AGREE COMPLETELY!!!!
ITS A TEASER TRAILER!!!!

remember the h2 teaser?
the one with the chief walking down the hall then launching himself out the hangar into space?

that changed a lot in the actual game....earth WASNT being nuked in the game like the trailer depicted....
Bungie added the bomb thing later, which the trailer didnt depict....

moral of this post: THINGS CHANGE

i know its fun to speculate about earth being another halo (which is what i think), but going into the -blam!- math about the diameter of the halos compared to earth and -blam!- .....give it a rest.....

i know there are fanboys that are probably proud of being fanboys....but just chill out....its early-mid 2006, the game doesnt come out for a year or maybe two if it gets delayed, so....

RELAX AND ENJOY THE TEASE




ppl are going crazy its just a stupid trailer, instead in the game this part is probley way different

I am just going to point out how utterly absurd this comment is. They are enjoying themselves, just like they did pre-Halo2. Amazingly, these ideas and theories are fun to create and think about.

Does anyone believe that they might have the right one? Of course they do, and thats the whole fun part about it. Gleaning this fish dry and milking it for all its worth, thats what the teaser was put out for.

no they put teasers out to get people excited by only giving them a glimpse wanting more, but not enough so that people will know what happens before the game even comes out. what fun would it be to play the game if you have a pretty good idea of what will happen. it would be like watching a horror/suspense movie when you already know who the killer is. and trust me, people might have some ideas that are similar, but it would be hard to be completly right with a 40 second clip.
