Well going by the evidence, IN THE GAME and from the ^^ above link to the storyboard pic that "thruster' looks alot like what the storyboard showed as the arc

Sega Mega Drive, Golden Axe and Sonic all day!

I agree, ive just spent about 3 hours reading through this (not all at the same time thank gawd) and if its not in the "threads of interest" sticky already it should be.

Right, well. as i was reading, few things came to mind.

- Religious scripture dictates that the Earth was created over 7 periods of time. (NOT 7 days, the translation into english simply reads as days to save confusion)
Bungie has a thing for the number 7. Might be nothing, but interesting for the idea that the earth was built around the halo/arc, not the other way around.

- The.....be right back me teas ready.
Back.
Ok, i think the only theory not really do-able, even in a science fiction, is that the structure is a thruster intended for moving a planet. Its a PLANET. The only thing throwing it out of orbit is the gradual weakening of the Sun.

- Final point, those of you already around pre-halo 2 might remember some rumours going round about there being a moon level, complete with anti-grav battles and jetpacks and such. There was a picture doing the rounds at the time, of the cheif in orbit on a pelican (i think it was a pelican) with the moon in the background. Many people thought they could make out a faint ring around the moon, looking exactly like a Halo. It mightve been nothing, and it certainly wasnt round the moon last time i looked up, but it mightve been an artistic clue towards the plot, a clue towards the moon being part of the final earth-based chapter. So maybe the structure from the trailer is pointing at the moon for some reason?

But y'know, Bungie are good at this kinda stuff. Any theories we make, the actual plot will be ten times as deep and thouroughly thought over. And they monitor these forums, should any theory even come close to any part of the plot, i bet they have 2 or 3 backup plot threads to ensure everyone is surprised come release.

Tea was excellent, by the way.

maby this halo is a special halo that does fit exactly inside earth and the thing in the Halo3 cutscene was some sort of entrance way INTO the halo were the forerunners hid when they activated halo.

Mabey

Why would we have a -blam!- ing Halo built into the Earth when all they need is 1 building?

What evidence on what thruster? It's not a thruster.

Did you ever consider the possibility that this "dome" is actually the Arc that Guilty Spark said was the object that can remotley activate all halo insatallations. Did you consider the possibility that what could be the Arc was buried beneath the Earth and was revealed when Regret's cruiser made a devastating slip-space jump. That is all. Thanks for reading.

A sticky is where this thread is "stuck" to the first page of the H3 forum, so it doesnt get lost. I think it deserves it :)

Just looking at my halo wallpaper, if it is indeed a Halo underneath the earth, then theres another one a couple miles down the road...

perhaps this dome is located convienietly close to the libary or control room?

It's absolutely impossibly, the first Halo was some 14 miles thick and some 10,000 meters* in length..


*Methinks its meters, it might not be. But it is 10,000 of some really large measurement.

go to wiki and do the math Mr Zee JollyRanger. it is absolutely possible in scifi sort of way. Also it is believed that the 7 Halos are of slightly varying sizes as seen at the end of Halo2 when the Halos are displayed inside of each other so ours could be around 12000kms in diameter and still fit inside the Earth's diameter. Its always a good idea to do a little research before you say impossible :P

great research halo empire. i know exactly what your talking about.

as for you people who keep saying the halo super structure is too big to fit in the earth think about this. they could have made it smaller. look at it this way. all the halo`s are bombs and earth is the switch. switches are always smaller then bombs right. or they could have just made it smaller to discuise it under the planets surface.

my explanatory skills are not that great lol.

nice going halo empire =)

Your theory is still the best in my mind and anyone who thinks wat he is saying is impossible then think again. It makes a lot of sense and it certainly seems like a bungie-irony to put a halo right under our noses.

You DO know that Earth, and many many other habitable Solar Systems were once controlled and lived on by the most prosperous species ( Forerunners ) in the Universe(?).

So, naturally we WILL have some remnants from the civilization, and ours are more military based that..REACH's (it being a past Forerunner Planet, and has a similar structure on it)



The Circular room on REACH with a 1.5 mile radius, and a hole in the center held the time warping crystal that made Halo 2 the way it is.

The crystal is most likely an important part in activation the Ark [of the Covenant] seen in the trailer, so that the Rings may be set off while we are safe on [Noah's] Ark.

Think logically, because we have one+ structures buried in our crust, we have a -blam!- Halo ring in the Earth. Explain how it got their numb nuts. Your theory is too far fetched, and makes no sense.

If, in a hundred years someone sees your [wooden] house buried in the ground from a mudslide, will it be great for them to think it's down there cause there's a big wood ring under the Earth? No.

and to the guy who said the only think pushing earth out of its orbit is not correct the earth is becoming closer to the sun because it is getting bigger and more dense not the other way around until it subnova's

Did you even read the part in my post about slip-space and the effect the crystal has on both its enveloping range (10,000km rupture with the crystal and just enough to envelope a 3km cruiser without.) or did you miss that part. Besides who are you calling numb nuts, you have no idea what the Forerunner are capable of because you are just another hairless ape like the rest of us. The room on Reach you and every one else keeps mentioning was a lot smaller than the massive dome structure we see in the Halo3 trailer and had no intended access from the top as depicted in the Halo3 trailer but rather a secret hidden human only access underground. The access opening made in the top of this massive room was hastily blasted there by the Covenant with out much thought for the damage this would caused to this Forerunner structure, nothing like the colossal aperture of grandeur we are seeing in the Halo3 Trailer. And the whole Ark theory still sits comfortably with the hidden Halo theory. Besides this you have to acknowledge the influences of not just the Bible but also the Torah, the Qa'ran and the grand daddy of all books of faith, the Avestain (that’s right a book of faith that contains accounts of events repeated in the bible, torah and qa'ran that are now paralleled in the halo story though predating all of them by over seven millennia) Take the Arbiter for example, he is modelled on the warriors of truth in the Qa'ran (the sword of the prophet) as this holy book has a focus on honour rather than that of submission. Also the great journey is an event in the Qa'ran (the Isra and Miraj.) Along with the alliance and tolerance of the many different beings that make up the covenant (ahl al-Kitâb). In fact the more I look into this the more I realize how much of an influence these other books of faith are having on this story. You bible bashers should really just check it all out, unless you get in trouble for that kind of thing. Just go to wiki, its all there, no one will ever know you did!

The guy that wrote this post is a friggin noob. It's already been proven that it's the Ark (it was obvious at first anyways). If you don't believe me, check the Collector's Edition DVD, in Designing the Levels at around 1:09 into it.

People I beleave that the most likely thing is that all halos are the same the themes of them maybe differnt but in contarst archtecture (sorry about spelling) is the same as desighn. Now what i was hopingwhen 2 came out that there were differnt types of flood infection forms that went after differnt molicular strucktures but more harder to kill.

Yeh but what he is saying is that the *could be* hidden halo under the earths crust is the ark. And the forerunner could have easily put it under the earths surface. They could have built a huge tunnel withtin the earth and started construction ther if you dont like the slip space theory.
